Wigs, Wig Caps and Hair Extensions

How to put on a wig

To ensure your new wig fits properly and sits nice and snug, here's a quick breakdown of how to put on a wig:

• Starting at the front, gently place the wig over your hair and make sure all your hair is tucked in and not sticking out.
• Depending on what style of wig you have, look in the mirror and adjust to make sure the wig is centred.
• Give it a little wiggle to make sure the wig is sitting securely in place and do one last check for any hair sticking out underneath.

How to wash a wig

Washing your wig after a big party is easy with these simple steps:

• Mix a little bit of wig shampoo with cold water, then soak the wig for around five minutes.
• Using a toothbrush or a small brush, gently clean any stains that are on the cap.
• Now gently rinse the wig under cold running water.
• Grab a towel and carefully pat down the wig to avoid stretching out the wig fibres. Leave it to completely dry out, and remember: using a hairdryer will damage the wig.

How to put in hair extensions

As a perfect accessory to any costume, here's how to put in hair extensions to ensure your costume is looking stylish:

• Start by sectioning off your hair and then securing it to the top of your head.
• Using a comb, section out small pieces of hair so the extensions can easily clip onto the roots.
• Open up the clips on the hair extension and attach to the small section of hair, making sure it's as close to your scalp as possible, then close the clips shut.
• Repeat this step until all the hair extensions are clipped on.
• Let down the top section of your hair and then backcomb into the extensions to better hide them.
