Step 1: Prepare Your Scalp or Natural Hair

Start with a clean and smooth foundation, whether you have hair or not.

• Clean Your Scalp or Hair: If you have natural hair, wash and condition it for a smooth surface. If you have hair loss or sensitive skin, gently cleanse your scalp with a mild, soothing cleanser.

• Braid or Flatten Hair (If Applicable): For those with natural hair, braid it into small cornrows or secure it flat with a wig cap for a seamless fit.

Tip: If you’re experiencing total hair loss, a soft wig cap can provide comfort and help protect your scalp.

Step 2: Prep Your Wig

Make sure your glueless wig is ready for installation.

• Adjust the Wig’s Straps: All our glueless wigs include elastic bands and adjustable straps. Customize the fit to your head size for a secure and comfortable experience.

• Comb or Style the Wig: Gently comb through your wig to remove tangles and shape it for your desired look.

Step 3: Use a Wig Cap (Optional)

A wig cap can help keep natural hair in place or protect a sensitive scalp.

• Choose the Right Cap: Select a wig cap that matches your skin tone for a natural appearance under your wig.

• Tuck in Loose Hair (If Applicable): Ensure all hair is securely under the cap for a smooth and flawless look.

Step 4: Position the Wig

Time to bring your look to life by placing your wig.

• Align with Your Hairline or Scalp: Position the wig slightly behind your natural hairline, or adjust it to mimic a natural hairline if you’re experiencing hair loss.

• Secure the Wig: Adjust the straps and use any combs (if included) to ensure the wig stays in place.

Step 5: Trim the Lace

Customize your wig for the most natural, flawless finish.

When you receive your svelte wig, the lace will not be cut. If you'd like, we can trim the lace for you, but please note that wigs with cut lace are not eligible for return or exchange. 

• Cut the Lace: Using sharp scissors, carefully trim the lace along the front hairline. Start from the center and move outward, following the natural shape of your hairline or forehead.

• Take Your Time: Be cautious not to cut the wig’s hair. Move the hair back to make sure you avoid cutting any strands while trimming the lace.

Step 6: Style the Wig

Now comes the fun part—styling your wig to make it your own.

• Use Heat Tools (If Applicable): Our glueless wigs are heat-safe, allowing you to curl, straighten, or add waves.

• Apply Hair Products: Use a little hairspray, mousse, or hair wax stick to hold your style and tame flyaways.

We offer premium SR Heir Tools™ Flat Irons for creating sleek, polished styles. Check them out here.

Additional Tips for Long-Lasting Wear:

• Remove your wig at the end of the day to maintain its condition.

• Store your wig on a mannequin head or in a protective bag to preserve its shape.

• Avoid sleeping or showering with your wig on to extend its lifespan.
