If your wig often feels insecure or doesn’t stay in place properly, this blog is made for you. We will walk you through everything you need to know about how to secure your wig better—so you can enjoy both a natural look and peace of mind.

Choosing Wigs with An Adjustable Built-in Wig Strap

We recommend choosing wigs with an adjustable built-in wig strap. This feature is commonly found in many cap constructions, such as lace front caps, glueless full lace caps, and monofilament caps.

The adjustable strap helps keep the wig secure and prevents it from slipping during wear. It also allows the wearer to adjust the fit according to their head size, ensuring a more comfortable and stable fit for everyday use.

Sew The Elastic Wig Bands And Combs Into The Wig Cap

For extra security for wigs, elastic wig bands and combs can be sewn into the wig cap. Essentially, you can sew the elastic band into the back of the wig, so it will wrap around your head. Many women say this is a very comfortable and easy way to secure their wigs. You can also sew in mini clips or combs to the inside of the cap if your wig didn't come with any. The combs and clips will attach to your hair and stop the wig from sliding. It will take a few minutes to sew these extras in, but it is worth it to prevent wig slippage. Many wigs will come with an elastic wig band and extra clips as extras that you can then sew in.

Use The Tape Method to Keep Their Wig Secure

Many people use the tape method to keep their wig secure. For the tape method, tapes, anti-bacterial alcohol solution, and the necessary at-home materials are needed.

To apply the tapes, firstly, use the alcohol solution along your hairline (where you will apply the tapes) to remove any makeup and clean the area of bacteria. Make sure the tapes are the correct size to fit your head.

If they are too large, you can trim them down to size.

The tapes are double-sided, so apply them to your hairline and then stick the wig to the tapes in your desired place. This will help your wig to feel secure all day!

Use Glue to Stick Down Your Wig

For people who don't like tape, there is the glue that you can use to stick down your wig. Glue can last for days if necessary.

To apply glue properly, clean the skin around the hairline and wear your wig.

Then apply a thin layer of glue along the skin, being careful to avoid any hair. Let the glue dry for a few minutes. You can also use a hairdryer to speed up the glue drying.

Once the glue feels tacky, press your wig in place and press the edges where the glue is. This will help your wig stay in place without wig slippage.

Top Tip: choose a water-soluble glue so it can be easily removed with water, with no damage to your hair.

A secure wig fit can give you a real sense of safety and confidence. Even when you’re running, cycling, or doing other activities, these methods help keep your wig comfortably in place.

Learning how to properly secure your wig gives you more freedom in your daily life. So take notes and keep these tips in mind—you’ll be glad you did!
