Securing your wig will help you avoid embarrassment with no hairs out of place. In this blog we’ll cover some of our favorite ways to stop wigs from sliding back. Soon you’ll be setting and forgetting your wig like a pro!

1. Wear a Wig Cap

A wig cap will keep your wig from slipping while protecting your scalp and biological hair.

Follow these steps:

1. Clean your skin before applying the wig cap.

2. Apply the wig cap from front to back.

3. Put on your wig.

2. Wig Grip Band

A wig grip band is one of the best ways to hold a wig in place because its design is specific for wearing a wig. A gripper will secure your wig, distribute its weight, and keep you comfortable.

Here’s how you apply grippers:

1. Align your wig grip with your natural hairline and place it on your head.

2. Tuck it behind your ears, and secure it to the nape of your neck with the Velcro tabs.

3. Place your wig over the wig grip from front to back and adjust accordingly.

3. Silicone Sheets

You can sew silicone sheets into your wig to keep the wig secure. Trim the sheets to fit and they will last as long as your wig.

Follow these instructions:

1. Cut the silicone sheets into one piece for the nape of your neck, one for near your hairline, and two pieces for behind your ears.

2. Sew the sheets into your wig.

4. Wig Clips

When you need extra security, wig clips are an excellent option.

Here are the steps to take:

1. Choose wig clips that match the color of your wig.

2. Decide where you want your wig clips in your wig lining.

3. Secure and sew your wig clips to your wig.

5. Wig Tape

Wig tape is double-sided and designed to get your wigs to stay.

Here is how to apply wig tape:

1. Clean the skin areas where you’ll place the tape to remove excess oils, dirt, or makeup.

2. Apply the strips along your hairline but avoid placing them on your natural hair.

3. Remove the other side of the tape and place your wig on your head.

4. Press your wig down to secure it in place.

6. Wig Glue

Wig glue is perfect for people with hair loss or baldness who want to keep their wig secure for a long time.

Follow these steps:

1. Before applying wig adhesive, make sure your skin is clean and free from any dirt or oils.

2. Apply the adhesive along your hairline with a makeup brush.

3. Make sure the glue fully dries.

7. Bobby Pins

This simple and effective technique is a fantastic method for those with natural hair.

Here is how to use bobby pins:

1. Choose bobby pins that are the same color as your wig.

2. Place the bobby pins through your wig and into your natural hair.

3. Place enough so your wig is comfortable and secure.
