Size

For ensuring that the wig will fit well, it is important to choose the right size. The wig size depends on the circumference of the head of the person who is wearing the wig.

There are four different sizes of wigs available to fit users perfectly. The smallest size, known as ultra petite, corresponds to a circumference of 19 to 20 inches. The petite is for heads with a circumference of 20 to 21 inches. The average is for head circumference 21 to 22.5 inches. In comparison, the largest size is suitable for heads of circumference 22.5 to 24 inches. There is usually a provision for adjusting the wig size by half an inch to fit properly.

For measuring the head size, the wig buyer should take a tailors tape which is easily available. The tape should be placed on the front hairline in front and then moved along the hairline covering the left ear to reach the hairline at the back, nape of the neck, and over the right ear to reach the front hairline again. This will give the circumference of the head to purchase the right wig.

Wearing the wig

For wearing the wig, the hair should be first styled so that one can fit the wig properly. The method will vary depending on the length of the natural hair of the wig wearer. If the hair is long, the hair should be divided into two sections, and one can use hairpins to fix the hair at the back of the neck.

You can then put the wig cap over the hair to keep it in place. In the case of short hair, the hair should be smoothed so that you can place the wig cap properly over the head hair. The wig should then be put on the front of the head and gradually moved to the back so that it fits properly. For wigs with Velcro straps, one should adjust the strap length for proper fitting.

If the wig is too perfect, people will easily notice that it is not natural. To make the wig look more realistic, it is advisable to make some modifications to the wig. It would be best to cut some hair wig strands to mimic the look of hair growing naturally, the partition slightly modified. If the wig is worn daily, it is also necessary to wash the wig weekly with shampoo so that it does not smell.
