Wig application
Equipment
·
Wig cap
·
Bobby pins (matte)
·
Geisha pins
·
Wiggly pins
·
Fine wig pins
·
Stocking cap same colour as wig
It is important to avoid pins with bobbly ends because the
stick through the stocking cap and they are hard to pin through into the
hair. You also need to put thicker pins
around the edges so the wig is definitely secure.
If the hair line is lace you won’t need to use your own
models hair unlike me.
Hair wrap for lace
front wigs
·
Be sure to check parting

Section off front section behind the ear

Take middle section and do large pincurl

Pinning as you go

Don't twist hair keep it flat

Split side sections in 2 and wrap it flat in

·
Don't let front sections lay on hair line
·
Apply the stocking cap making sure all hair
including side burns are tucked in

Use pintail comb to tuck in

Then apply wig
·
Use wiggly pins to go in flat and push in

Then smaller pins round the side
Plaiting hair for
half wigs (my method)
·
Make a circle of hair to keep out to incorporate
into the wig
·
Then French plait the centre of the hair, making
sure they are as flat as possible
·
Apply the stocking cap making sure all hair
including side burns are tucked in
·
Use pintail comb to tuck in
·
Fold wig in half and pin to centre of the head
using thick bobby pins
·
Use wiggly pins to go in flat and push in
·
Base, sides, 1 at front
·
Then smaller pins round the side
I enjoyed looking at
different ways to prep the hair for wig application depending on the hairstyle
of the wig. I decided to use the plait
method because I needed a bit more volume for my design and I was also incorporating
my models hair.
