How to Make a Human Hair Wig Look Fuller

1. Wash It the Right Way (Volume-Boosting Wash)

A flat wig often has product buildup or heavy oils.

  • Use a lightweight, sulfate-free volumizing shampoo.

  • Condition only the mid-lengths to ends, not the roots.

  • Rinse thoroughly so the wig feels light and airy.

2. Blow-Dry for Volume

Human-hair wigs respond beautifully to heat styling.

  • Place the wig on a canvas head.

  • Use a round brush and lift the roots upward as you blow-dry.

  • Use medium heat, not high.
    This gives instant fullness and a salon-like effect.

3. Add Layers for Natural Fullness

A blunt, one-length wig always looks flatter.

  • Light, face-framing, or long layers create movement and volume.

  • Ask a stylist or trim very gradually at home.

  • Avoid removing too much weight at the ends.

4. Use a Root-Lifting Spray or Mousse

Human hair holds styling products well.
Apply:

  • Volumizing mousse to damp hair

  • Root-lifting spray at the crown
    Then blow-dry while lifting.

Avoid heavy oils — they collapse the volume.

5. Change the Part for Instant Lift

Try:

  • Deep side part

  • Zigzag part

  • Off-center part
    Moving the part resets the root direction and creates natural fullness.

6. Light Teasing/Backcombing

For the crown area only:

  • Take 1-inch sections.

  • Gently tease at the roots.

  • Smooth the top layer to hide teasing.
    This gives long-lasting lift without obvious bumps.

7. Use Hot Rollers or a Curling Wand

Heat tools work great on human hair wigs.

  • Use large-barrel hot rollers for big volume.

  • Curl in alternating directions for movement.

  • Let the curls cool before brushing out.

8. Add Extra Hair Wefts or Bundles

To dramatically increase fullness:

  • Sew in or clip in 1–2 tracks underneath the wig.

  • Match length and texture (straight, body wave, deep wave, kinky, etc.)

This is the most foolproof way to thicken a wig.

9. Wear a Wig Grip or Cushioned Wig Cap

These slightly lift the wig away from your scalp, preventing that “super-flat” look.

10. Trim the Ends (Thickness Trick)

If your wig looks thin at the bottom:

  • A small trim makes ends appear fuller.

  • Even removing 1–2 cm can change how thick the wig looks.

Bonus Tips for Human Hair Wigs

  • Avoid heavy serums or oils near the top.

  • Choose higher density (180–250%) for guaranteed fullness.

  • Maintain the wig with regular washes to avoid product buildup.
