5 Common Mistakes First-Time Wig Wearers Make — And How to Avoid Them Like a Pro
Apr 15, 2025
1. Mistake #1: Choosing the Wrong Wig Cap Size
If your wig is too tight, it’ll cause headaches and slip back. Too loose? It won’t stay in place. Measure your head and choose the correct size — most of our wigs come with adjustable straps for a custom fit.
2. Mistake #2: Ignoring Lace Customization
Straight out the box, lace front wigs aren’t always “ready-to-wear.” You need to cut the lace carefully and blend it with your skin tone using foundation or lace tint spray. A little prep goes a long way to get that natural hairline look!
3. Mistake #3: Not Using Wig Caps or Wig Grips
Some skip the wig cap thinking it's optional — but it’s essential! It keeps your natural hair protected and provides a smooth surface for the wig to sit on. A good wig grip can also stop the wig from sliding during the day.
4. Mistake #4: Over-Styling With Heat
Even if your wig is heat-friendly, constant curling or flat ironing can shorten its lifespan. Try flexi rods or heatless styling methods to keep it cute without the damage.
5. Mistake #5: Forgetting to Maintain Your Wig
Wigs need love, too! Wash your wig regularly with sulfate-free shampoo, detangle it gently, and store it on a mannequin or silk bag. Proper care = longer slay.
✨ Final Tip: Confidence Is Your Best Accessory
Wearing a wig for the first time can feel nerve-wracking, but don’t overthink it. The more you wear it, the more natural it feels. Own your look and walk like the queen you are.
