Select Your Wig

Make Your Natural Hair Flat

Your natural hair should be collected and secured so it can lie flat beneath a wig. The two most common techniques are to cornrow it from the front to the back or pull it into a low bun.

Style Your Edges

Most headband wigs allow you wear out your edges, and if that’s the case you’d need to style your edges. Use your preferred hair cream to moisturize them or hair gel to silky smooth them down.

Put on A Wig Stocking Cap

Gently put a wig stocking cap on once your hair is in place. Wig caps help secure a wig and protect it from rubbing, eliminating lumps and bumps left behind by braids. To show off your perfectly laid out edges pull your wig cap further back.

Secure the Rear Wig Clip to Your Head’s Back

The wig should now be placed on your head after releasing the Velcro. The back of the wig should be secured with the wig comb by pressing it up against the center of the back of your head. To ensure everything is laid out evenly, line up with the wig up.

Pull the wig over your head

Pull headband wig onto head, adjust headband, fasten velcro band, and slide wig combs into hair.

Adjust Your Headband

Adjust the band and wig clips as needed to ensure the wig stays in place while you’re out and about. Move your head to secure it.

Style The Hair

Style your headband wig with care and use heat-safe tools.

How to Care For a Headband Wig

Care for a wig made with human or synthetic hair depends on the quality, longevity, and styling options. Human hair is the best option for higher quality, longer lasting wigs, while synthetic hair has less longevity and less styling options. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to avoid damaging the unit.

For extra TLC Co wash the human hair and deep condition as often needed.

When to Use A Headband Wig

Any wig collection would benefit greatly from having headband wigs. The best occasions to don a headband wig include: when you need a protective style, want to give your edges a break, want to try something new, want to save money, want to try something new, want to try sweatproof wigs, want to try something new, are new to wigs. Headband wigs are an excellent way to give your edges a break from the strain wig adhesives put on them because they don’t need tape, gels, or glue to keep them in place.

They are also among the sweat-proof options for wearing wigs, which makes them significantly less expensive than other, more expertly detailed wigs. Headband wigs, which hide the majority of your hair, are a simple way to start wearing wigs if you’ve never done so before. Headband wigs can be a convenient substitute for other styles of wigs when you’re in a hurry.

Headband Wig vs. Lace Front Wig

There are distinct benefits and drawbacks for both headband wigs and lace front wigs. It is possible to create a natural-looking wig with lace fronts by using sheer lace that lays flat against the scalp. But installing it can be difficult.

Headband wigs are not as versatile as other wigs, as they don’t have a hairline and the hair wefts face backward. They are also not as breathable as other wig types, so if you’re concerned about overheating, choose a breathable material like lace.
