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
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
