How to Install A Bob Wig?

Installing a bob wig can be quick and easy if you follow the right steps. Whether it's a lace front, glueless wig, or full lace wig, here's a step-by-step guide for a natural and secure install:

🔧 What You'll Need:

• Wig cap

• Bobby pins or wig clips

• Edge control or gel

• Scissors (if lace needs trimming)

• Glue or wig adhesive (optional for lace wigs)

• Wig band or elastic (for glueless install)

🧴 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.
