How to Put Hairpieces on Your Head

Adding hairpieces can change your look quickly.

Wearing a hairpiece is an easy way to drastically alter your hair style. The best thing about them is they can be easily removed, so you can experiment with different lengths without any drastic cuts or pricey permanent extensions. Attaching hairpieces correctly does take a little practice, so don't panic if you don't get it right the first time.

Things You'll Need

• 3 hairpieces
• Comb
• Hair clips

Instructions

1. Pick hairpieces that are as similar to your natural hair color as possible. At least three hairpieces are needed to cover a normal-sized head, but it's worth asking a store attendant if you will need more.

2. Comb your hair thoroughly to ensure there are no knots or kinks.

3. Use the comb to make a straight horizontal parting from your temple to the back of your crown. Secure the top section of your hair with a clip.

4. Hold the hairpiece tight against your head and clip the beginning of the hairpiece into your hair at the front of the parting. Keeping the hairpiece held taut, continue clipping it in as you follow the line of the parting.

5. Continue clipping it in, swapping to a new extension when necessary. Use the comb to continue creating a parting around the head.

6. After all the hairpieces have been added, unclip the top section of your hair and let it fall over the join of the hairpiece. Style as normal.
