How to wear a short wig for beginners?

Wearing short wigs for women is a fun and stylish way to change your look. If you're a beginner, check out these steps to help you wear a short wig:

  • Prepare your natural hair: If you have long hair, braid or tie it into a bun and secure it using bobby pins. It will help create a smooth base for your wig to sit on and prevent your natural hair from poking out.
  • Put on the wig cap: Wig caps are thin, stretchy caps that help hold your hair in place and provide a barrier between your natural hair and the wig. Put on the wig cap so that it covers your entire head and sits securely.
  • Adjust the wig: Hold the short wig by the ear tabs and place it on your head, positioning the front of the wig with your hairline. Carefully adjust the wig to fit snugly and comfortably on your head. Use the adjustable straps or clips inside the wig to secure it in place.
  • Style the wig: Use a comb or your fingers to style the wig as desired. You can use heat-styling tools such as flat irons or curling irons on short hair wigs made of human hair and heat-resistant synthetic wigs.

Remember to follow the manufacturer's care instructions for your wig to keep it looking its best, and enjoy your new short wig! With practice, you'll become more comfortable wearing and styling wigs.

How do you make a short wig look real?

Choose a wig that resembles your natural hair color and one that complements your face shape for a seamless transformation.

Next, get a wig made from high-quality synthetic or human hair, which looks more realistic than low-quality wigs.

When putting on the wig, ensure it fits snugly and comfortably on your head, aligning it with your natural hairline. Use a wig cap to create a smooth base and tuck any stray hair away.

Style the wig to mimic your usual hair texture, and use a comb or your fingers to blend any natural hair with the wig for a seamless appearance.

At Especially Yours®, we offer a vast collection of the best short wigs in different colors, styles, and fibers that provide an extremely natural look.

What hairstyles work well with short wigs?

Short wigs offer versatility in terms of styling, and several hairstyles work well with them. Here are some options to consider:

  • Pixie Cut: Short wigs with a pixie cut, characterized by short layers and a cropped length, create a chic and modern look. Pixie cuts are low-maintenance and can be worn sleek, smooth, or tousled for a more textured and edgy look.
  • Bob: Bob hairstyles, which feature hair that is cut to a uniform length, generally around the jawline, are an excellent option for short wigs. Bobs can be worn in straight, curly, or wavy styles, depending on your preference and face shape.
  • Spiky Style: Short wigs can also be styled into spiky styles, where the hair is arranged into short, upward-pointing spikes using hair products like styling gels or waxes. Spiky styles create a fun and playful look and are perfect for those who want a more daring and edgy appearance.
  • Textured or Layered Look:Adding texture or layers to a short wig adds movement and dimension to the hairstyle. This can be achieved using a razor or texturizing scissors to create choppy or layered ends, or with short hair wigs with razor cuts, resulting in a trendy and youthful look.
  • Wet and Wavy Hairstyles: Short wigs with wet and wavy hairstyles are a sure-shot way to turn some heads! This hairstyle adds volume and spunk to your look. With playful waves, you can be the belle of the ball in a jiffy.

Remember to consider your face shape, personal style, and occasion when choosing a hairstyle for your short wig. Experiment with different wig styles to find the one that suits you best and makes you feel confident and comfortable.

Do short wigs come in different sizes?

Yes, short wigs come in different sizes to accommodate the varying head sizes to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.

The most common wig cap sizes are petite, average, and large. Petite wigs are designed for smaller head sizes, typically measuring around 20-21 inches in circumference. Average wigs are designed for the average head size, typically between 21-22.5 inches in circumference. Large wigs are designed for larger head sizes, generally measuring around 22.5-23.5 inches in circumference.
