Things You'll Need:
- Wig cap
- Ponytail holder
- Bobby pins
-
Step 1
Check for a good fit by trying wigs on before you purchase one. Consider using a wig cap under your hairpiece to control your hair and improve the wig's fit.
-
Step 2
Prepare your hair before putting on your wig. Pull long hair back and away from your face. You can put your hair in a ponytail at the nape of your neck and pin it to the back of your head with bobby pins. Pull long bangs off your forehead and pin them to the top of your head. Put on your wig cap once you have pulled back your hair, and tuck all of your natural hair under it.
-
Step 3
Slip on your Halloween wig, starting at your forehead. Secure your wig to your forehead with one hand as you pull the wig back over the rest of your hair. Check in a mirror to make sure none of your natural hair is showing.
-
Step 4
Shake your head to see if the wig fits securely. If it won't stay in place, tape the wig to your wig cap.
-
Step 5
Put on your ghoul makeup after the wig is in place. If you are wearing more traditional makeup, choose a foundation, eye shadow and lipstick that complement your new hair color.
-
Step 6
Brush inexpensive wigs gently since many are not fit for extensive styling. Use only hair spray and cold curlers to style a Halloween costume wig. Contact a wig store for professional styling.
