Wig styling is important to keep your wig looking at its best and wig styles require as much care and attention as your natural hair.

Styling a wig to your satisfaction,the following points need to be followed:

1. Buy a large enough wig head for styling

If your wig head is too small, you’ll end up cutting the wig too short or making it too tight when you sew in wefts or style an updo.  As a quick fix, you can stuff paper under the wig to stretch it in the back. A larger foam head, canvas head or wig block will be more accurate and is worty.

2. You need to know some hair cutting techniques

Sooner or later, you’ll need to trim a wig because it’s too long, or because it doesn’t come in the style you want. Cutting wigs may seem intimidating at first, you'll get better at it a few times To make the style look natural, avoid cutting the fibers all the exact same length. 

3. You need to be gentle with your wig

First, apply a generous amount of oil sheen spray or wig conditioner to help with detangling. When I have badly matted hair, I gently tap the knots with my fingers or the flat handle of a comb to loosen them.

Next, I use a wide-tooth comb or detangling brush that will easily glide through the hair. If it doesn’t go smoothly, start at the tips and work your way towards the top. Resist the urge to pull on the fiber with force!

If you put too much strain on the fibers, they will stretch or break. Damaged fibers must be cut out or straightened, or else they’ll just cause more tangles.

4.Plan the hairstyle you want before you buy a wig 

Before you go wig shopping, find out what kind of base wig you need. How long and how thick, which cut, which shape of top and style of cap. You don’t want to spend too much time fixing an unsuitable wig when the perfect base wig is only a click away.

Our favorite wig styling tips:　

• Style your wig when it’s completely dry.
• Try a chin strap for secure, hands-free styling.
• Take advantage of styling heads for a view from all angles.
• Brush your synthetic wig with a stainless steel brush.
• Only use specially formatted wig styling products to maintain wig fibers.

It is important to not brush or touch your wig when it's wet from spray as this will ruin the preset style. Once dry, you can add height to flattened areas, or reposition your curl using a pic comb or wig brush. Remember to use wig spray sparingly and primarily on areas that you have touched up. Spray build up can damage hair fibers and your wig will need to be washed more often.
