🧴 Step-by-Step: How to Install a Bob Wig

1. Prep Your Natural Hair

  • Braid or flatten your natural hair as much as possible (cornrows, flat twists, or slicked back bun).

  • Put on a wig cap that matches your scalp color. This protects your hair and creates a smooth base.

  • Use edge control to slick your edges if desired.

2. Prep the Wig

  • If it’s a lace front or full lace wig, trim the lace around the hairline carefully.

  • Adjust the straps or combs inside the wig for a snug fit.

  • Pluck the hairline or apply foundation to the lace for a more natural look if needed.

3. Apply the Wig

Glueless Method:

  • Place the wig on your head and align it with your natural hairline.

  • Use the adjustable straps, wig combs, or an elastic band to secure it.

  • You can also use wig grip bands for extra hold.

With Glue or Gel:

  • Apply lace glue or gel (like Got2B Glued) along your hairline.

  • Let it become tacky, then press the lace into place using a rat-tail comb or your fingers.

  • Use a scarf to tie it down for 10–15 minutes to secure it.

4. Style the Wig

  • Use a flat iron or curling iron to style your bob as desired.

  • Add parting (middle, side) using a hot comb to flatten the top and define the shape.

  • Use mousse or holding spray for a sleek finish.

💡 Extra Tips for a Natural Look

  • Tint your lace with foundation or lace tint to match your skin.

  • Use a hot comb or wax stick to flatten the wig at the crown.

  • Blend your edges with the wig or leave a few natural baby hairs out.
