What Is a Full Cap Wig?

You won’t find any laces inside full cap wigs. The lack of laces can make the process of putting on a full cap relatively simple.

Steps for Wearing Full Cap Wigs

It’s now time to wear the full cap wig! Follow the simple steps detailed below to get your new wig on your head properly.

Step 1: Prepare Your Hair

If you want to wear a full cap wig, the first thing you must do is prepare your hair. The preparations will differ depending on the amount of hair you have.

If you have little to no hair, you should use a wig cap. A wig cap will keep the full cap wig in the proper position.

With short hair, you first have to brush it back and away from your face. You can then use hairpins to keep your hair from moving.

Wearing a wig if you have long hair requires more work. Start by tying your hair into French braids and allow them to intertwine over your nape. Grab some grips next and use them to secure your French braids to your head.

Step 2: Align the wig

Pick up the full cap wig and give it a look over. You should find combs in there. Those combs indicate the front and back portions of the wig.

After seeing where the combs are, turn the wig over and see which comb is closest to the front portion. Remember where the front portion is so you know how the wig should be aligned.

Step 3: Wear your wig

You’re now ready to wear your wig. Flip the wig over so the cap is exposed, and place the front portion closer to your body.

Tilt your head forward next and flip the wig over. Slip the wig over your head and make sure its front portion is positioned above your eyebrows.

Keep going until the wig is fully covering your scalp. The wig should end up just slightly below your natural hairline if you lined it up correctly.

Step 4: Adjust

Get a feel for the wig when you wear it for the first time. Did it fit just right, or could it be improved? Was it styled to your liking as well?

The good news is that you should be able to adjust a full cap wig pretty easily.

Look inside the wig again search for straps. Those straps will allow you to adjust the size of the wig. Tweak it until it’s the right fit over your head.

You can also take this opportunity to change the appearance of the full cap wig. Many full cap wigs are customizable. Continue styling your wig until it resembles the hairstyle you want.

Step 5: Secure

All you must do now is secure your full cap wig. Use wig clips, wig tape, or even bobby pins to ensure your new hair doesn’t move around too much.
