Do You Wear Human Hair Wigs?
Putting on the ideal side part wig — especially if it's human hair — is all about prep, placement, and styling. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you slay that side part wig seamlessly:
✅ Step 1: Prep Your Natural Hair
-
Braid or slick back your natural hair as flat as possible to create a smooth foundation. Cornrows, flat twists, or a low bun work great.
-
Wear a wig cap to keep everything in place and protect your hair.
✅ Step 2: Prepare the Wig
-
Place the wig on a wig stand and brush it gently.
-
Pluck the parting slightly (if needed) to make it look more natural.
-
Apply foundation or concealer on the underside of the lace part to match your scalp tone.
✅ Step 3: Apply the Wig
-
Align the wig with your natural hairline, making sure the side part falls on your desired side (usually left or right, based on preference).
-
Use wig grips, combs, or adhesive (glue or gel) to secure it, especially around the part and hairline.
-
Use a rat-tail comb to define the side part and lay the part flat.
✅ Step 4: Melt the Lace (If It's a Lace Front)
-
Use a lace adhesive or spray to melt the lace into your skin.
-
Tie a melt band or satin scarf around your hairline for 10–15 minutes to blend the lace.
✅ Step 5: Style It
-
Use a hot comb to flatten the roots along the part.
-
Add curls, waves, or straighten the hair as desired.
-
Lay down baby hairs (optional) with edge control for a flawless finish.
🔁 Maintenance Tip:
-
Always store your wig on a stand and wrap the part area with a scarf to keep it flat between wears.
