How to Wear a Wig with Long Hair?

Dream of bringing your new look to life in a way that makes you smile every time you look in the mirror?

From a Full Lace to a closure wig, wearing a wig over those luscious long locks of yours is a great way to make sure that you can quickly and easily transform the way you look and feel while giving your hair an easy time.

Let’s take a look at everything you need to do to bring your style to life, regardless of what you have in mind! 

Braiding vs. tightly twisting your hair 

This is a debate that sisters and girlfriends have been having for as long as time, but we think we can settle it once and for all.

The truth is that whether you braid or opt for a tight twist and low bun is up to you. 

You know your hair better than anyone else out there. That’s why we want you to take control of your look and celebrate the way you feel.

If you feel like you can braid it with ease and love the flow, go for it.

And if you know that a flat bun just feels right on your crown, you know what to do. 

Now that we’ve got that one out of the way, it’s time to prep. 

Prep your long hair for a wig. 

The key here is to get rid of those tangles and wave goodbye to those frustrating knots.

If you can take the time to brush once, twice, and then a third time, you’re going to have a crown that is ready and waiting to take any wig you want.

Just what you need to hear when it’s all about setting the tone for a style that is truly out of this world. 

Reach for a wig cap 

The next thing we need to do is get a wig cap in place that will allow you to feel like a true queen morning, noon, and night.

We love a classic mesh wig cap because it allows your hair and scalp to breathe, keeping you nice and relaxed in the process.

Ideal when you want to set the tone for a look that looks oh-so stylish! 

Secure your natural hair. 

Whether it’s braids or a low bun, this is the point where you start to work your magic.

Make sure to neatly tuck those tails away so they are out of sight and out of mind, and the rest is sure to fall right into place.

You’re then ready to pop your wig cap into place and get ready to pick out your wig for the evening.

Your new style is about to come to life!

By following our hot tips up to this point, you’ve laid the foundations for a look that is sure to be on fire.

Now it’s over to you to add those all-important finishing touches, and they are all going to come together in a glorious way. 

Focus on your hairline. 

A premium wig is only as good as the hairline it matches, and that means you need to know your natural hairline, like the back of your hand.

By taking a couple of extra seconds to frame your hairline with your wig, you can make sure your crown looks natural in a way that is impossible to do justice with words alone.  If it’s your first time getting a wig in place, go easy on yourself.

These little touches don’t always happen instantly, so take your time and be patient. You will know the right result when you see it looking back at you in the mirror, making you smile from ear to ear. 

Love those baby hairs.

Do you want to make your wig feel like a natural extension of YOU and your crown? Of course you do!

The secret is to pull through half a dozen or so strands of baby hairs from your natural hairline.

Take a moment to blend them into your wig — if the color allows it, and if not, you can always get a made-to-order wig — and then stand back and see everything start to take shape before your eyes.

You’re now ready for the fun part.

Get styling

The beauty of tying up your long hair and blessing your crown with a straight wig is that you can set yourself free to get creative like never before.

Split ends and stressed-out strands are never going to be an issue when you cut and color your hair because your wig is soaking up the effort.

Ideal when you want to be able to chop and change your look however your mood takes you. 

And if you want a few more sparks of inspiration, take a look at our range of curly and wavy wigs for some new touches of style.

You never know.

Your new signature look may just be one quick click away!

Hot tip

Adding a few extra clips will keep even the most volume-loving wig in place for all the world to see.

Take your time to add a little extra anchorage, and you’ll soon see that the extra effort was worth it, especially if you want to dance the night away in the club with your sisters. 

Now that we’ve told you everything you need to know about wearing any type of wig with long hair, it’s over to you to put our hot tips into action. 

Enjoy it, and go light up the block!
