How to Put On a Wig With Long Hair

If your hair is long, you will need to prepare your biological hair to fit inside of your wig cap.

  1. Dampen hair with a  spray bottle of water. This is optional but this can help eliminate flyaway hairs as you braid or pull your hair back.
  2. Prepare your hair. You have three options:
    1. Put your hair into a low ponytail and either pull the ponytail up over your head..
    2. Braid your hair. You can start with two braids, but if your hair is thick, 4 or more braids may work better. Wrap the braids (as evenly as possible) around your head and secure with bobby pins or toupee clips.
    3. If you have Afro hair, we suggest putting your hair in cornrows .
  3. Put on your wig cap, secure it with bobby pins and put on your wig.

How to Put On a Wig With Short Hair:

  1. Dampen your hair with a spray bottle of water. This is optional but it makes it easier to pull your hair cleanly into the wig cap.
  2. Put a wig cap over your head, covering your ears and then pulling it back to the hairline at the forehead.
  3. Pull each side of the wig cap behind the ears, pulling your hair back behind the cap.
  4. Scoop any hair outside of the wig cap uby using toupee clips all the way around the perimeter of the wig cap. The clips will secure the wig cap to your head while preventing those short hairs from coming out of the wig cap.
  5. Put on your wig.

How to Put On a Wig Without Hair

Putting on a wig when you are bald is the easiest way to wear a wig because you don’t have to secure biological hair. With a bald scalp, you can put on your wig with or without a wig cap. A wig cap will keep your wig fresh longer, add comfort and will also eliminate friction on your scalp as your hair grows back.

Experiment with which wig cap is most comfortable for you.


Putting on Wigs with Wig Caps

Before putting on your wig, we recommend putting on a wig cap liner. Wig cap liners offer many benefits to wig wearers:

  • Protection: They can help protect your hair by reducing the friction between the wig and your own hair. This will prevent hair loss from sheer friction against the scalp.
  • Comfort: Cap liners can make the wig more comfortable on your scalp.
  • Sanitizing: They can keep the wig more sanitary, allowing you to wash the wig less frequently.
  • Longevity: They can extend the life of your wig by eliminating oils that make contact with your wig.

 

Types of Wig Cap Liners:

  • Mesh or NylonThin and sheer, ideal for wig wearers who have hair or for wearers who prefer a thinner option.
  • CottonBreathable, soft on the scalp, ideal for those with hair loss.
  • Bamboo: Moisture wicking, cool and comfortable. Ideal for bald scalps.
  • Aloe Vera: Nurturing on the scalp, cool and comfortable.
