How to Style a Hairpiece
Styling a hairpiece will allow you to wear the same ones over and over again without looking like you’re using a hairpiece. The better the styling the more realistic it will look. Hairpieces can be found with both real and synthetic hair, and there are methods of styling for each.
Knowing how to style a hairpiece will determine how realistic it looks. If you do not style one properly, you may end up with a very fake looking hairpiece.
What you’ll Need:
- Wig Stand
- Wig Brush
- Styling Products
- Leave in Wig Conditioner
- Hot Rollers
- Hair Dryer
- Clean the hairpiece and then give it time to dry completely. Attach it to the wig stand and begin to brush it with the wig brush. Do this until the wig is free of tangles and snags.
- Apply leave in conditioner to the hair piece. Make sure that it is made specifically for wigs. This will help to make the hair look more natural and soft.
- Decide on a style that you want for the hair and then figure out if the hot rollers or the blow dryer are necessary. If you use the hot rollers, then put them onto a setting where they are warm to touch. They don’t need to be too hot. The same can be said for the blow dryer, keep it on a medium setting and hold it no closer than a foot from the wig.
- Use styling products as you style the hair. You will need to hold it into place so gels and hairspray are often necessary.
