Things You'll Need:

  • Quality Wig
  • Bobby Pins

  1. Step 1

    Step 1: You want to find a wig that you love. You can choose between human hair wig or a synthetic wig and you can find these wigs at hair shops or beauty shops. Try on lots of wigs!

  2. Step 2

    Step 2: You are ready to put on this wonderful wig that you have picked out. What you need to do is make sure that your real hair is outta’ the way. This is how you do that. If your hair is long you want to pin it back and up as close to your head as possible. If you have short hair, just use hair gel to get your hair back.

  3. Step 3

    Step 3: After you prepare your own hair you need to cover it. Covering is very easy; all you need is some pantyhose. Cut the foot off of the pantyhose, and put it over your real hair. This will make sure that your hair will stay back and make the wig stay as well. But if you would like to skip this step that is okay. Sometimes it just doesn’t work for some people with sensitive scalps.

  4. Step 4

    Step 4: Make sure that you are putting it on the right way with the front at the front.

  5. Step 5

    Step 5: Stretch out the wig with both of your hands in the head part of the wig.

  6. Step 6

    Step 6: Place the wig on top of your hair or panty hoed head. If you need to move it around, gently pull on the wig itself or move it slowly on your scalp.

  7. Step 7

    Step 7: Your wig is on. How does it look? Are you happy with it? Great! Now make sure that your wig is secure, bobby pin through the wig to your own hair. If this is a step you want to skip that is okay, but make sure your wig isn’t sliding around.

Tips & Warnings
  • When trying on your wigs, make sure it is snug on your head.
  • Synthetic vs. Real Hair: choose wisely. Real Hair can be a bit more expensive, but you can style it with curling irons and heat.
