3. How To Wear Wig For Small Heads?

3.1 Flatten Your Hair Under A Wig Cap

A wig cap is essential as it protects the natural hair from the wig. You need to make sure your natural hair is as flat as possible. If your hair is not flat, the wig will not be fixed on the head naturally, and parts will protrude, which looks very unnatural. Also, some have their hair braided, while others with short hair have it brushed back with hairspray or mousse. Always take care when choosing a wig cap to protect your natural hair. Choose a nude hat that will match your skin tone and look natural.

If the wig cap matches the color of your scalp, you can skip this step.

Wig Pins: This is the cheapest and easiest method. Clip the bobby pins between the wig and your hair. It is recommended to find barrettes that are similar in color to the wig, so they are easier to hide.

Wig Glue: This tool is a popular choice for experienced wig wearers. It grips you well, so you can rest assured your wig won't slip off. Apply the wig glue along your hairline and let it dry for about 30 seconds (you can speed up the process with a hair dryer on low).
