How to put on a wig
Adjust the fit: Hold the wig at the nape where the adjustable straps are. Hook the straps into the desired slots. You may need some trial and error to find the most comfortable fit.
Position your hands: Hold the front hairline of the wig with one hand and the nape with the other hand. The inside of the wig cap should face upward.Slide it on: Tilt your head forward. Place the front of the wig against your natural front hairline, then pull the back of the wig down to the nape of your neck.
Check the alignment: Raise your head. Adjust the front edge so it lines up with your natural hairline. Ensure the sides sit comfortably and evenly around your ears.Fine-tune the security: If the wig feels too tight or too loose, remove it to adjust the straps and repeat the process.
If it feels to tight, or too loose you will need to adjust the straps, and apply again.
How to make a wig secure
Why use extra security? Some wigs need extra support to stay perfectly in place. Using specialized accessories will keep your wig secure and comfortable all day long.
Fabric wig grips: These velvety fabric bands feature velcro fastening to adjust to your head size. They are much kinder to sensitive scalps that experience pressure from clips or tight elastic.

Glue
Wig glue application: Apply a thin layer of specialized wig glue directly along your hairline to bond the wig cap securely to your skin for an extended hold.
Safe glue removal: Never pull or yank the wig off. Apply an oil like coconut oil
or petroleum jelly (such as Vaseline) directly onto the dry glue to break down the adhesive.
Clean-up method: Gently wipe away the softened residue using a warm, damp flannel until your skin and the wig lace are completely clean.
