Here's the easiest way to wear a wig for all you first-timers

Size: With wigs, the most important thing to remember is that it needs to fit your head. If it's a size too loose it will keep moving throughout the day and that will be a dead giveaway. So, measure the circumference of your head, from the front or your hairline to the back of your ears to the end of your neck (the nape). Some wigs also come with adjustable straps so you could just opt for those ones if you want.

While human hair wigs are quite expensive, if you want your wig to look realistic then it's best to invest in them. Synthetic wigs just stay in the shape that you bought them whereas human hair wigs can be styled as you want. This also means that you'll have to use several products on it to keep it conditioned as it won't be getting conditioned from the natural oils in your hair.

When it comes to wigs, there are three types you can buy - 100% hand-tied, monofilament, and lace fronts. Lace fronts seem to be the best option because they are the easiest to use and help create the illusion of real hair at the crown of your head. When you purchase your lace front wig, make sure the lace material matches your skin tone as closely as possible as this will help the wig look realistic.

Secure your natural hair

To begin with, you need to secure your hair in place in such a way that it doesn't appear bulky underneath the wig. The best way to do this is to tie up two French braids and then clip them up in circular motions mimicking the natural shape of your head. Also, try to tame any baby hairs that get in the way, using a toothbrush and hairspray.

The main goal here is to conceal all your natural hair. So, if there's still baby hair showing, you can try to shave it off. This might sound a bit extreme but really it's quite simple. You just need to shave a couple of millimeters off and then you'll see just how much of a difference it can make.

Fit the cap

This is the last step. Once you've done everything now you have to secure the wig in its place. Take the wig and start wearing it from the crown and then pull it down to the nape of your neck. Keep adjusting it until it sits perfectly at your hairline. Then secure the clip at the back of your neck.
