Test before you buy

Even if you’re going to buy your wig, it’s best to try on a few different options first. Better still, see if a friend of yours has a wig that would work for you. See how different cuts and colors look on your head, hair, and face. When using a wig to cover up hair loss, finding the right size is very important. Neither too loose nor too tight will do, as that would allow it to move around. If the wig is too tight, it might create headaches and suffering, and if it’s too loose, it can fall off. It’s important to have enough hair to secure the wig to your head and to make sure the wig you buy fits your head properly.

Know your wig size

Wigs come in a wide variety of sizes, so it’s important to measure your head size before shopping. Most wigs have a small, medium, and large sizing range. If the wig seems too small or too huge, it’s not because of the wig’s size but because of the size of your head. Take a circumferential measurement of your head from the bridge of your nose down to the base of your spine (just below the base of your neck). In this way, you may determine which size is most suitable for you.

Find your favorite hair styles

Selecting a hairstyle that shows your personality or complements natural hair texture is essential. It’s a good idea to get your natural hair cut to the desired length and style before putting on a wig. Then you may rest assured that the cut will complement your chosen wig. Finding a wig cut that complements your natural hair is essential. While wig buying, it’s important to get a cut that complements your natural hair texture and color. Although several lengths and styles are available, it is important to select one that works for you. Wigs can be styled in a variety of ways to provide a wide variety of looks; certain wig styles are more adaptable than others.

Don’t be afraid of accessories

If you want your wig to stand out and be even more fun to wear, consider adding in a few small decorative touches. Flowers, feathers, and glittery pins are just a few examples of the kinds of embellishments you can find at a local store. You can also try accessorizing your wig with a headband or brightly colored mini-bun wraps. To make it appear as though your hair is pulled back under a wig, you can try pinning it up with a few hairpins. If the wig cap is too small or the wig is too heavy, this can help keep it from sliding back. Wig caps and nets can be used to secure the wig.

Be prepared for maintenance

Wigs come in several types, each requiring a different method to maintenance and care, from brushing and washing to heat styling appliances like curling irons and blow dryers. Synthetic wigs require wig shampoo. Dry shampoo can revitalize an all-human hair wig. Washing a wig with human hair might destroy it. All-human hair wigs should be stored away from direct sunlight on a mannequin or wig stand.

Swapping out your hair for a wig is a simple and entertaining way to revamp your appearance. With the right size and some TLC (tender, loving, care) you can wear it for as long as you like. It won’t take long before you’ve settled on a new look that you love, so don’t be afraid to experiment with different cuts and shades to find the one that works best for you.

To hold it in place, you may spray it with hairspray, but be careful not to get any on the wig. If your hair is longer and you want to hide it, try plaiting it into two French braids and crossing them just above your nape. Secure the braids at the top and bottom with clips or kirby grips.
2. If you’re asking, “Do I need a wig cap?” and you determine the answer is “yes,” then you should wear the cap over your own hair, beginning at the front of your head. Then you can put the cap on and use clips or kirby grips to keep it in place and hide any stray hairs.
3. It’s finally time to don that wig. You should remove your new wig from its packaging and hold it in front of you with both hands, label side facing out.

5.  tweak the cap and hairline until the wig looks and feels right, then, Use wig clips or wig tape to keep it in place, rocking your wig beautifully.
