If this is your first time hearing about glueless wigs, then this guide is for you.

Getting Started: What You’ll Need

Before we get started gather these:

• A good quality glueless wig

• Wig cap that matches your skin tone

• Flat bobby pins

• Wig comb or brush

• Edge control (optional)

• Mirror (for the back view)

Step-by-Step: Laying Your Glueless Wig

1. Prep Your Natural Hair

Your foundation makes or breaks your wig game.

Braid or flat-twist your hair

Keep the braids thin and flat against your head

Make sure everything's secure - no loose ends!

This foundation will determine how natural your wig sits.

2. Perfect Your Wig Cap Game

The wig cap is your secret weapon for that flawless finish.

Slide the cap on from front to back

Secure any flyaways

Pull the cap behind your ears

A good wig cap is like a good foundation - invisible but crucial.

3. Adjust Those Straps

Here's how to lay glueless wig properly - it starts with those straps!

Loosen all adjustable straps before putting the wig on

Place the wig from front to back

Tighten straps gradually for even pressure

The pressure should be even - no headaches allowed!

Pro Tips From My Experience

After countless wig install’s, here are my top tips:

• Bobby pins are your BFF’s - place them at the temples

• Use the comb attachment on your dryer to mold the lace

• Style while wearing to get the most natural fall

Securing Your Wig Without Glue

Can glueless wigs be glued down?

Yes, but I’ve found that proper fitting and styling eliminates the need for glue. Focus on working with your wig’s built in security features.

The elastic band should fit your head comfortably and the combs should be placed where they feel secure without pulling.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Learn from my mistakes:

• Not measuring your head before you buy

• Skipping the wig cap

• Over-styling the baby hairs

• Ignoring the natural part

Style and Maintain

Now that your wig is secure the fun part is styling!

I love using light serums to add shine and control flyaways.

Treat your glueless wig like your natural hair - gentle brushing, regular maintenance and proper storage will extend the life of your wig.
