THIS Is How To Put On A Wig Like A Pro

The beginning of January means frigid temps in much of the country — bringing with it the need for protective hairstyles. Donning a wig is a simple option when you want to safely tuck away your strands. Plus, it’s a heat free way to try a new look out for size. Though the challenge of making a wig look natural can seem daunting, a few foolproof tricks can get you the slay you’ve always wanted.

Press play above to see the technique in action, then try it yourself using the steps below.

Step 1: Make sure your hair is ultra moisturised, then braid it back into medium-sized cornrows that allow everything to lay flat.

Step 2. Use a wig cap to protect your hair.

Step 3: With your fingers, apply your favourite edge control product or gel to lay down your edges to perfection.

Step 4: Line the wig part up as desired and use the wig combs to secure it onto your hair. Make sure not to pull too tight!

Step 5: Pull the wig down and adjust as necessary. Flat ironing can help smooth down the top to mimic your hair.
