Step 1: Measure Your Head for the Perfect Fit
A well-fitted wig is the foundation of a natural look.
Follow these simple measurements to find your ideal cap size.
How to Measure
Head Circumference
Start at the center of your front hairline, wrap the tape measure around the back of your head, above your ears, and return to the starting point.
Front to Nape
Measure from the center of your hairline straight down to the nape of your neck.
Ear to Ear Across Forehead
Measure from the top of one ear, across the front hairline, to the top of the other ear.
Ear to Ear Over the Top
Measure from one ear across the top of your head to the other ear.
Cap Size Chart
Small: 52–54 cm
Medium (Standard): 54–56 cm → fits 80% of people
Large: 56–58 cm
All our wigs include adjustable straps at the nape to tighten or loosen by 1–2 cm for a customized fit.
Step 2: Prepare Your Natural Hair
Proper preparation ensures a smooth, flat surface so your wig lays naturally.
For Short Hair
Brush hair flat against your scalp.
Use hair pins to secure any layers.
For Long Hair
Part hair into two or four braids close to the scalp.
Wrap braids flat and pin them down.
Apply a Wig Cap
Choose a nude, flesh-toned wig cap that matches your skin.
Stretch it over your head, covering all your hair.
Smooth out bumps or lumps.
The wig cap creates a clean base and prevents your real hair from poking through.
Step 3: Put On Your Wig Like a Pro
Step-by-Step Application
Hold your wig securely by the ear tabs.
Tilt your head slightly forward.
Place the front edge of the wig at your natural hairline.
Pull the wig down and back toward the nape of your neck.
Adjust the ear tabs so they align perfectly with your own ears.
Use the adjustable straps at the back to tighten or loosen for comfort.
Gently shake or tousle the hair to fall naturally.
What It Should Feel Like
Secure, not sliding
Comfortable, no tightness
No gaps at the hairline
Lightweight and breathable
Step 4: Make Your Wig Look Undetectable
The best wigs look like real growing hair. Here’s how to perfect your hairline.
Blend the Lace
Use concealer, foundation, or powder that matches your skin tone.
Dab lightly along the lace to melt it into your scalp.
Style Baby Hairs
Use a small brush or toothbrush with edge control.
Lay down tiny hairs along the hairline for an ultra-realistic look.
Parting Adjustment
Part the hair in a natural-looking place (slightly off-center is most realistic).
Avoid perfectly straight, sharp parts.
Step 5: First-Wear Styling Tips
You don’t need complicated tools to look amazing.
Lightly comb or finger-style the hair.
For curls: scrunch gently to enhance texture.
For straight hair: brush softly for a sleek finish.
Avoid heavy products on your first wear.
How to Make Your Wig Comfortable All Day
Avoid wearing the wig too tight.
Take short breaks if you’re new to wigs.
Choose breathable caps to reduce sweating.
Use a small amount of powder on your scalp to absorb moisture.
Common Beginner Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Do not use regular shampoo or conditioner.
❌ Do not comb from roots to ends.
❌ Do not sleep or shower in your wig.
❌ Do not expose to high heat without protectant.

How to Clean Your Wig for the First Time

Fill a basin with lukewarm water.
Add a small amount of sulfate-free wig shampoo.
Soak the wig for 3–5 minutes.
Gently swish; do not rub.
Rinse with clean water.
Apply conditioner, avoiding the lace.
Rinse again and pat dry with a towel.
Air dry on a wig stand.
