VIDEO: Hide long hair under a wig

Skillfully conceal long hair

Whether you want to wear a wig with short or long hair is for hiding your own hair irrelevant.

1. First of all, it is important that the wig you choose fits. It should not slip on the head but also not sit so tight that it cuts into the scalp at the edges. Let yourself be expertly advised when buying a wig and try on the wig before buying it.
2. In order to hide long hair well under the wig, it should not sit too tightly on the head so that enough air remains for the long hair. The best way to hide long hair under the wig is to tie all of your hair together as much as possible. However, this should not be a ponytail, as the binding point is visible under the wig. It makes sense to braid your hair in a peasant braid. The long lower end is simply clamped to the back of the head with a clamp. You can also braid a braid starting at the nape of the neck, fold it up and clamp it in place.
3. The important thing is that you pull all of your hair straight back. After tying it up, you can use some hair gel or spray to set your hair in place. This ensures that no hair slips out from under the wig during the period of wearing.

4. To put the wig on after tying your hair up, bend your head forward. Put the wig on from front to back so that you no longer have to move it from back to front and loosen long hair again.

5. After putting on the wig, double-check that all your hair is well hidden. Hair that is sticking out can be pushed under the wig with a stick comb.

Caring for a wig properly

So that the wig can also be used at the next opportunity, it should be properly cared for and stored.

1. After wearing the wig, you should wash it. You can wash the wig in the sink with lukewarm water. You can either use a special wig shampoo or a mild baby shampoo. Furthermore, you should then treat the hair with a conditioner so that the wig can be combed well.
2. When washing, it is important that you rub the shampoo in the direction of the weave of the wig. This prevents the hair from becoming matted while washing.
3. Rinse the wig well, wrap it in a towel and press the wig well dry.
4. Then it is important that the wig dries while hanging. You can buy a special wig holder for this, or you can put the wig on e.g. B. over a high dose.
5. Most wigs can be styled like normal hair. You can twist them on curlers, blow-dry them or just let them air dry. However, you should avoid using it with a straightening iron.

You can also take you wig to a specialist shop for cleaning.
