If you choose to Ski or Sleep in your wig or have long hair and want to keep it as flat as possible under your wig to assure a more even natural look, here are few tips to care for your beautiful “little friend” and prevent tangling and frizz.

If you take care of her ~ she will take of you!

STEP 1

The first thing you need to do is divide your hair in half.

STEP 2

Concentrate on one side at a time. Begin with the left-hand side. Take that side and pull it around to your forehead while trying not to disturb the hair and the part too much.

STEP 3

Now you want to take a hair clip and clip the hair down. When you look at the side of the hair, it should look smooth.

STEP 4

The right-hand side of hair now remains to be wrapped. Now you want to do the same thing to the right-hand side of hair. Take it and gently swing it around to your forehead in the opposite direction.

STEP 5

When you get to the front of your hair, depending on how long it is, it should meet up with the other hair that was pinned. It should meet up with the other hair that was pinned.

STEP 6

Adjust the hair in the front along with the other hair. Pin up the right-hand side of hair. By now it should be tucked in and pinned neatly.

STEP 7

If You Are Sleeping With Your Wig On: Once you see what this method of neat organized hair wrapping provides, to further prevent frizz, you want to take a satin or silk hair scarf and tie it around your hair so that it stays. This has been used for years by African American women to keep their hair intact and prevent tangling.

What If I have No Hair – How Does My Wig Stay On?

OPTION 1: If you have no hair, we suggest using Double Sided Wig Tape to secure the wig.

OPTION 2: Our Wig Secure Wig Band to hold your wig in place.

What if I have too little hair to clip and too much hair to tape?

ANSWER: If your hair is thin and you do not show this part of your hair in public you can shave it, you can then adhere the wig with wig tape and will make your wig wearing experience much easier.

I’ve noticed that all the wigs I try on in stores or have purchased end up looking like I’m wearing a helmet! How are the wigs designed at CreatedHair any different?

ANSWER: It takes work and year of experience to make a wig that consists of non-breathing hair with no oils, look real. One of our secrets to attaining an authentic look is to add hair where you are challenged with less and use less hair where you have some you are happy with – thus creating even density all around and removing the possibility of looking like you’re wearing a helmet.

Authenticity has been our speciality for years but it’s a process that includes not only the proper base and wig making process but also in the styling which is the finishing touch. CreatedHair stylists, including Emmy Nominated stylist Kathleen Leonard, are some of the most talented in Hollywood and can even work right from your photo to attain the look you care to replicate.

This will work most successfully if your hair is thick enough to pull through the crown of the wig. If not it’s best not to order this type of wig and go with our other choices which our CreatedHair staff will be happy to explain to you.
