Wigs are an easy and practical way to hide hair loss, switch up your appearance, or add some volume. The problem is that they appear fake if you don’t put them on properly, and nobody wants that.

This is particularly true for women’s human hair wigs. These wigs seem very realistic since they resemble the texture and flow of actual hair. But you must know how to install them right to have that perfect appearance.

Human hair wigs for women are becoming more popular not just for people who are losing their hair but also for everyone who wants to try out new looks without committing to any long-term change. It is amazingly versatile; however, all that flexibility is lost if it just looks like a wig. Your natural hairline should blend perfectly with it, fit easily, and remain secure all day.

Wear a Wig by Following these Steps

Tie your hair

Whether you have a full head of hair or are rocking a shorter style, you can comfortably wear a wig. The key to making your human hair wigs look natural is to ensure your natural hair lies as flat as possible under the wig. This helps avoid unwanted bumps and ensures the wig sits snug against your scalp. 

If you have long hair, start by gathering the back of your hair and putting it into a flat bun. This is done by twisting your hair and wrapping it into a tight bun at the nape of your neck. Secure the bun with bobby pins, ensuring it’s as flat as possible. If your hair is very long or thick, you might find creating two smaller buns easier than one large one. Position these buns at the lower back of your head, just above your neck, and secure them with bobby pins. The goal here is to distribute the hair evenly and keep it flat.

If you have short hair, you’ll need to use a few more bobby pins to keep your hair in place. Start by slicking back your hair as much as possible. Then, use bobby pins to pin down any sections that might stick under the wig cap. It might be helpful to use a bit of gel or pomade to help keep your hair flat and manageable.

Choose the Correct Wig Cap

Wig caps are the foundation for your wig. They hold your natural hair in place and provide a smooth surface for the wig to stick to. There are many different wig caps on the market, each with certain advantages. Lightweight and supple like pantyhose, wig caps are pleasant and comfortable. Better airflow makes mesh wig caps—breathable, net-like material—ideal for those with sensitive scalps or who reside in warmer climates. With their strong and flexible fabric, Spandex wig caps keep thick or lengthy hair firmly in place.

Selecting a wig cap that complements your skin tone can guarantee a natural appearance. While medium skin tones look great with medium brown or tan caps, light skin tones should choose beige or light brown caps, and dark skin tones should go for black or dark brown caps. Transparent wig caps are also a flexible choice that looks good on any complexion, making them perfect if you need to match exactly or if you want a cap that fits many wigs and styles. 

Put on a Wig

Hold your wig at the nape first. Usually found at the rear of the wig, the nape is where the label resides. Set your wig cap’s front edge at the front border of the wig base. This alignment is crucial for ensuring the wig fits properly on your head. Apply your wig lightly, working your way from front to back. Orient the front of the wig to match your natural hairline on your forehead first.

Ensure the wig fits properly but is not too tight so you can bring it back over your head. Beneath, you should feel the wig cap keeping your hair in place. Care must be taken, especially with lace front wigs, including women’s lace front wigs. When mishandled, lace fronts can rip. Positioning the lace at the front of your head should be done very gently. Ensure the lace blends perfectly with your skin tone by sitting exactly at your natural hairline. You will get an unnoticeable and realistic hairline as a result.

Take your time to ensure that the wig fits nicely around your head and that the lace is positioned correctly. If needed, tighten the wig even more with the adjustable straps or clips at the back.

Style your Hair

Integrate your wig with your hair to get a perfect, natural appearance and style. Brush or comb the wig carefully. To save the hair fibres, use a wide-tooth comb or wig brush. Blending is essential. A little style gel or cream can smooth and blend your hair perfectly with the wig.

If your wig is heat-resistant, you can style it as you choose using a hairdryer, curling iron, or flat iron. Set your heat tools to low or medium heat to protect the hair. Always apply a heat protectant spray to prevent the hair from heat damage, whether curling or straightening.
