Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Put the wig onto your head properly. Make sure it is straight and fitted properly so that it does not move or slide off.

  2. Step 2

    Brush the hair away from the face as much as possible. Brush the hair lightly so that you do not pull the hair out of the wig or the wig away from the head.

  3. Step 3

    Move a few pieces of hair back towards the face after you have brushed it all away from the face. This will give it a softer, more natural look.

  4. Step 4

    Use hot curlers to make the hair curly. Simply roll the hair up in the hot curlers and leave it set until the curlers cool. Then remove the curlers and you will have some bouncy, curly hair.

  5. Step 5

    Curl the hair with a curling iron. A curling iron will give you curl or body in various places of the hair. Do not leave the hair in the curling iron too long because it could burn.

  6. Step 6

    Spray some hairspray onto the wig once you are finished styling it. This will help your new style stay in place.

Tips & Warnings
  • Use gels or moose to give your wig more height, body or style.
