How To Hide Your Hair Under A Wig

Human hair wigs are highly fashionable right now among women of many ethnic backgrounds, including Caucasians and Black women. The popularity of wigs is attributed to their ease, ability to improve women's looks, and ability to hide hair loss. There are numerous wig hairstyles available as well. So now is the ideal moment to start wearing wigs if you haven't already.

Anytime you wear a wig, you should ensure it offers you the most natural appearance possible. However, this can occasionally be challenging, especially if you have naturally long hair. Long hair might be difficult to tuck into a wig, especially if you are not used to wearing wigs.

We are here to assist you in hiding your hair under the wig to make the wig look as natural as possible. Let's get started.

Method 1: The bun method

Making a bun is one of the best techniques to conceal long hair under a lace front wig. It is achievable since most wigs have additional space for a bun at the nape of the neck. Here is how to create a bun:

1. Use a brush to detangle your hair.

You must use a wide-tooth comb to brush your natural hair to remove any flyaways or tangles.

2. Create a low ponytail.

After brushing, you can secure your hair in a low ponytail at the nape of your neck.

3. Make low bun

The ponytail must now be twisted from where it was fastened at the nape of your neck until the hair lifts. The hair can then be lifted and twisted into the base. The bun needs to be formed as tightly and compactly as you can. This will prevent it from showing through your wig or making you seem lumpy.

4. Secure your low bun.

You need to secure the low bun as the last step. You can accomplish this by inserting a bobby pin into the base of your ponytail.

Method 2: Plaits

If buns are not your thing, plaits are a great alternative because they can also be used to conceal long hair underneath a wig. This style preserves your hair and gives you easy access to your scalp whenever you need to wash or moisturize it while not being as flat as cornrows or buns. Here are some instructions for creating plaits for longer hair:

1.Make braids

The initial step is to braid the hair. You can accomplish this by pulling your hair back into a ponytail at the top of your head and splitting it into four equal portions, or more if you'd like. Next, plait each part separately.

2.Secure the braid.

To make the braid more secure, take one plait and wrap it around your head about an inch away from your hairline.

3.Repeat the above step

Wrapping each braid behind the rows of the prior plait, repeat the previous process with the remaining braids.

4.Hold the braids in place.

Finally, wrap the last plait into a spiral that ends at the first ponytail's root. It's important to note that you shouldn't overlay these braids because doing so could easily result in lumps when you put your wig on. The wig can then be styled, particularly if you are familiar with wig styling techniques.

Method 3: Cornrows

Another common method of hiding hair beneath a glueless wig is to use cornrows, especially for women with thick or textured hair. When it comes to using cornrows rather than braids to cover long hair under a wig, cornrows are more popular. Additionally, because of their flat surface, your natural hair will be less rough under a wig. Furthermore, cornrows work with hair of various lengths, including short, medium, and long hair.

Tips to help you hide your hair under a wig

Always put on a cap

A wig cap provides excellent protection for your hair. Additionally, it keeps your natural hair in one place, naturally concealing it. To achieve your desired natural appearance, choose a wig cap color that goes well with your skin tone.

Moisturize your natural hair.

It is vital to moisturize your natural hair before putting on your body wave wig. Correctly wash and condition it. Additionally, you can hydrate your hair in between wearings.

Frequently wash and condition your hair.

Many individuals believe that because a wig covers the hair, it is always clean. However, this is untrue. Your hair could still get dirty even if covered with a wig. Because of this, you must frequently wash it to eliminate dirt and oil accumulation.

Avoid putting a wig on wet hair.

Never use wet hair to wear your gorgeous wig. This might encourage the development of bacteria and mold on your wig. Additionally, it could make your wig and hair smell terrible. You must avoid it at all costs because of this. Before you put on your wig, let your natural hair air dry fully. Your wig falls under this as well. You must also make sure it is dry.
