How to Install Your Braided Wig Like a Pro!!

Installing a braided wig is easier than you think. Follow these simple steps to achieve a flawless, natural look that stays secure all day long.

Why Proper Installation Matters

A properly installed wig not only looks natural but also ensures comfort and longevity. When done right, your wig will enhance your style while protecting your natural hair.

What You’ll Need

  • Wig cap
  • Adjustable straps or combs (built into the wig)
  • Got2B glue, wig adhesive, or tape (optional for extra hold)
  • Scissors (for trimming lace)
  • Foundation or concealer (to blend the lace with your skin tone)
  • Edge brush or toothbrush (for laying baby hairs)

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

  1. Prepare Your Hair

    • Start with clean, dry hair. Cornrow it or slick it back into a flat style to create a smooth base.
    • Ensure your edges are moisturized to prevent dryness under the wig.
  2. Put on a Wig Cap

    • Choose a wig cap that matches your skin tone. If it doesn’t, apply foundation or concealer to blend it.
    • Place the cap over your head, ensuring it covers all your hair.
  3. Adjust the Wig

    • Position the wig on your head, starting from the back and pulling it forward until it aligns with your natural hairline.
    • Secure the wig using the built-in adjustable straps and combs for a snug fit.
  4. Trim the Lace

    • If your wig has excess lace, use sharp scissors to carefully trim it close to your natural hairline.
    • Be cautious not to cut too much or damage the baby hairs.
  5. Optional: Apply Adhesive

    • For extra security, apply a thin layer of wig adhesive or tape along your hairline.
    • Press the lace into the adhesive and let it set for a few minutes.
    • Our Wigs are designed to be glueless so this is a completely optional step.
  6. Style and Finish

    • Use an edge brush to lay baby hairs for a natural finish.
    • Style the wig into a ponytail, updo, or leave it flowing down to suit your look.
