——Do you feel self-conscious when you wear a wig? Some people are worried about their wig falling off during those windy days or when they are being hugged at gatherings and parties. Friends and family could end up tugging the back of your wig and moving it when they embrace you. Wig tapes can be convenient since they help take all those worries away!
Why do people use wig tape? Wig tape can come in handy for any unattached areas around the face that could end up slipping back during high winds or when you move your face when you talk and eat. So, wig tapes can be applied underneath your wig to help secure it in place, allowing people to continue thinking your hair is natural.
Before you begin to use wig tape, you should know that you shouldn`t use either option if you still have natural hair in the area you are applying it. Using wig tape can pull out your hair and can become rather painful when you take it all off at the end of the day, so steer clear of bio hair!
You can add the wig tape anywhere you think are areas that are loose such as your front where your hairline is and the side tabs where you can line it up with your ears.
Here`s the process in applying these wig tapes:
First of all, you should clean the areas where you want to put the wig tape. You can use a Q-tip or cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol to help remove any particles that could prevent the tape from sticking to your skin. For those with sensitive skin, you might consider using a little bit of liquid band-aid to those sections to avoid any skin damages or other problems.
Cut two small strips of wig tape (about 2 inches wide) for the hairline section.
If your wig is already parted, apply them near those areas. Of course, only peel one side of the tape for now. However, it should be near the hairline but not too close to the edge it could show through your lace front. Keep in mind that the tape has to stick to your skin for it to work correctly.
Place the tape near the side tabs or anywhere else you feel might be too loose.
Then, when you are finally ready to put it on, peel away the other side of the tape and try not to touch it or get any pieces of wig hair on it.
Next, gently place the wig on your head and lightly get it in place. You should line it up with your hairline, but make sure it`s not too far back in front to make it more natural.
When you have it where you are satisfied with the positioning, you can apply pressure to the tape.
Remember, make sure the tape sticks to your skin and not your hairline areas. This will ensure it adheres good and it is secured enough for the day.
Gently tug on different sections of the wig to see if it`s secured enough for you.
Finally, enjoy your wig for the rest of the day!
