2. How to Deal with If You Have a Wig Density That Doesn't Fit You

2.1 How to Deal with Low Density

If you have a wig with a lower density, you should take the following steps to add more volume and fullness:

● Take small sections of the wig and backcomb them, so they build up at the base of the wig, propping up the hair from the bottom to create the illusion of more volume. To do this, you need to use a comb to brush the wig hair from the middle to the roots repeatedly. Then, spray a bit of dry shampoo on the roots after backcombing to help add instant volume and lock in the look.
● Use hair clippers to cut your hair into layers, the increased layering of your hair will give the illusion of added thickness. 
● Use a curling iron, flat iron, or wand curler to add some curls or waves to your wig for more volume. 
● Spray dry shampoo on the dry roots of your wig for extra volume. At the same time, the dry shampoo helps lock in the waves which, ultimately, gives your wig more body, bounce, and volume.

2.2 How to Deal with High Density 

If you bought a wig with too much hair density, try any of the below tips: 

● Take the trimming scissors at different lengths towards the ends of the hair and make several cuts. Keep in mind that always split your wig into several small sections and thin one section at a time.
● Plucking the perimeter of the wig creates a sort of baby hair on the hairline to give an impression of the natural hairline.  
● Apply some mousse to the wig, cover it tightly with a scarf, and then remove the scarf to reduce volume at the crown. 
● Use a straightener and gently glide through the wig, and remember to straighten one section at a time until it decreases the volume.
