FAQs
How to Put On Your Wig
- Shake or Finger Comb the Wig:
This helps to release the wig from any shape it took on while being packaged during transport. You may want to use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to help the wig reshape. - Positioning the Wig:
Hold the wig upside down by the ear tabs, with the front of the wig aimed toward your forehead. Start placing it on your head. - Align the Wig:
Position the wig at your hairline, making sure the ear tabs line up with your ears for a natural look. - Adjust for Comfort:
If the wig feels too tight or too loose, use the adjustable straps at the back (most wigs have these) to ensure a snug fit. - Style Your Wig:
Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to style your wig. You can also use a small amount of water for smoothing down unruly sections.
Common Concerns When Trying On Your Wig
- “Box Hair” Issues:
Remember, your wig has been sitting in packaging for a while during transport. It may need a little work to get rid of any bends or creases. A light shake or gentle combing will help it settle. - Handling Lace Fronts:
If your wig has a lace front, avoid pulling or tugging on it when putting the wig on to prevent damage. - Wearing a Wig Cap:
If you have biological hair, braid or wrap your hair, then put on a wig cap to help the wig sit flat. If you do not have hair, you can still use a wig cap during the initial try-on to see how it feels. - Adjusting the Wig Fit:
If the wig doesn’t feel right, use the adjustable straps at the back. You can also check to make sure you’re using the right size cap.
Wig Care and Washing
From washing to styling, discover the essential techniques for maintaining your wig and keeping it looking fresh and stylish.
To extend the life of your wig, follow proper washing and care techniques. Synthetic wigs should be washed every 6-8 wears, while human hair wigs need to be cleaned less frequently. Always use wig-specific shampoo and conditioner, and avoid using heat styling tools on synthetic wigs. Learn more about wig care here.

Wig Styling
Styling a wig depends on the fiber. Synthetic wigs retain their original style even after washing, while human hair wigs can be restyled using heat tools.
Consider using wig-safe styling products to help achieve your desired look.
Wigs and Warm Weather
Explore tips for staying cool and comfortable while wearing your wig in warmer weather. To stay comfortable in warm weather, opt for lightweight wigs made with breathable caps. You can also use products like no sweat liners to wick away moisture. For more tips on wearing wigs in hot weather, visit Wigs.com’s guide here.
What should I do if my wig feels too big or too small?
If your wig feels too big or small, there are several ways to adjust it for a better fit:
- Adjustable Straps:
Most wigs come with adjustable straps inside the cap that can tighten or loosen the fit. Check for these and adjust as needed. - Wig Grips or Wig Secure:
If the wig is too loose, try using a wig grip band or a snug-fitting wig secure underneath to secure it better. - Sew-in Clips or Combs:
You can also sew in additional clips or combs to help secure the wig and prevent slipping. For a wig received via mail from EBeauty, these simple adjustments can be made at home using basic accessories.
Can I wear a wig while my hair starts to grow back? How do I keep my “crazy chemo curls” from poking out from under my wig?
You can always wear a wig, with or without hair! If you have hair of any length, it’s important to securely pin it down or wrap it tightly to make sure it doesn’t poke or irritate your scalp while you’re wearing a wig. Many people use a deep conditioner and wrap their hair under a wig cap to keep everything smooth and protected while wearing their wig.
