      Seek out a professional hairstylist to cut and shape your wig. Consult with the stylist to trim bangs and remove excess bulk hair. Place the wig on your head so that the cut better enhances your features.

      Place a wig securely on a wig stand. Add gel or mouse to the wig. Brush the wig lightly from the ends and gradually work your way toward the roots.

    • 3

      Add rollers or pin curls to the wig to enhance volume. Gather a small portion of the hair, wind the roller upwards and smooth the hair ends as you go.

    • 4

      Circulate cool to medium heat in an even, continuous manner with a blow dryer. Position the dryer approximately a foot away from the wig to avoid overheating. Allow the hair to cool before removing the pin curls or rollers. Tease the hair lightly with a comb to obtain the desired style.

Tips & Warnings

  • Spritz your hair daily with water to decrease static electricity and return the wig to its original look.

  • Do not expose your wig to excess heat. This can cause the fibers to frizz or become permanently damaged.

  • Do not bleach, rinse or color your wig.
