For many first-time wig users, the biggest challenge isn’t choosing a wig—it's learning how to wear a wig properly for beginners in a way that feels natural, secure, and comfortable.
At Our Wig Studio, we believe your first wig experience should feel effortless, empowering, and beautiful.

This guide is crafted by our in-house wig experts and based on thousands of real customer fittings. Whether you’re wearing a wig for styling, confidence, or medical reasons, here is the most trusted beginner-friendly method.

1. Begin With the Foundation: Preparing Your Natural Hair

A smooth foundation ensures your wig looks natural and stays secure.

Short Hair

Simply brush it back or use a lightweight styling cream to flatten the surface.

Long Hair

We recommend two low braids or flat twists. Cross them at the back and secure them gently—this prevents bulk under the wig.

Pro Tip from Our Team:
Your base should feel flat, not tight. A comfortable foundation makes all-day wear possible.

2. Put On a Wig Cap for a Clean, Secure Fit

A wig cap helps your wig sit smoothly and improves hygiene—especially for customers with sensitive scalps or medical hair loss.

We recommend:

• Nylon caps for everyday wear

• Mesh caps for better ventilation

• Bald caps for lace wig beginners who want a flawless hairline

Our caps are specifically designed to be soft, breathable, and irritation-free.

3. Adjust the Wig Size to Fit Your Head Shape

Every one of our wigs includes an elastic band or adjustable straps.
A proper fit should feel secure, not restrictive.

Your wig is the right size when:

• It does not slip when you shake your head

• You feel no pressure on the scalp

• Ear tabs sit symmetrically

If needed, our custom fit service can tailor elasticity to your comfort level.

4. Place the Wig Correctly — The Key to a Natural Look

This is one of the areas where beginners struggle the most.

Follow our expert method:

1. Hold the wig at the back (where the label is).

2. Tilt your head slightly downward.

3. Slide the wig from front to back.

4. Position the front lace about 4 fingers above your brows—this represents a natural hairline.

5. Adjust the ear tabs so both sides align evenly.

Once aligned, gently comb the hair into place.

5. Secure the Wig Based on Your Lifestyle

Different wigs offer different levels of security.

Glueless Wigs

Perfect for beginners—comfortable, breathable, and zero adhesive needed.

Elastic Band Method

Included in many of our lace wigs; ideal for all-day wear.

Wig Grip Band

Provides the highest security without glue—especially recommended for alopecia or medical users.

Adhesive (Optional)

For lace front wigs when you want the most seamless appearance.
Use sparingly and choose beginner-safe formulas.

6. Blend the Lace for a Seamless, Invisible Hairline

Our lace is designed to melt naturally into the skin—but a little blending enhances the look.

How to blend it:

• Trim the lace in small, zigzag motions

• Apply a small amount of spray along the hairline

• Press gently with a comb

• Dab a touch of foundation or powder for a perfect melt

This step transforms a wig from “good” to “undetectable.”

7. Style the Wig According to Your Preference

Our human hair wigs can be curled, straightened, or blown out—just like your own hair.
For synthetic fibers, use heat only if it’s labeled heat-resistant.

Beginner Tip:
Start with simple styles—a middle part, soft waves, or a low ponytail.

8. Final Check Before You Go

Stand in front of natural light and examine:

• Hairline alignment

• Flatness at the crown

• Comfort behind the ears

• Overall balance and movement

This last step ensures your wig looks naturally yours.
