Beginner’s Guide to Wearing and Installing Wigs at Home

Wearing a wig for the first time can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be! At KlassHairWigs.com, we want everyone to feel beautiful, confident, and in control of their style. Whether you’re dealing with hair loss, transitioning, or just love to switch things up, this beginner-friendly guide will walk you through everything you need to know about wearing and installing wigs at home.


Step 1: Choose the Right Wig for You

Start by picking a wig that suits your lifestyle and experience level. For beginners, we recommend:

  • Glueless lace wigs – No adhesive, easy to take on and off
  • Closure wigs (4×4 or 5×5) – Offer simple installation and low maintenance
  • Pre-plucked hairlines and pre-bleached knots – Look more natural with less effort
  • Adjustable straps and elastic bands – Help the wig stay secure on your head

💡 Pro Tip: Look for wigs labeled “beginner friendly” on KlassHairWigs.com for easy styling and installation.


Step 2: Prep Your Natural Hair

A smooth foundation ensures a better fit and natural look. Depending on your hair length, you can:

  • Braid your hair down in cornrows
  • Twist it back and pin it flat
  • Wear a wig cap to keep everything in place and protect your hairline

Don’t forget to moisturize your scalp before putting on your wig, especially if you plan to wear it for long periods.


Step 3: Install Your Wig Like a Pro

There are a few different ways to install a wig, but here’s a super beginner-friendly method:

Option 1: Glueless Installation (Perfect for Daily Wear)
  1. Put on your wig cap (optional, but helpful).
  2. Place the wig on your head and adjust it to align with your natural hairline.
  3. Use the adjustable straps or elastic band inside the wig for a snug fit.
  4. Use bobby pins if needed for extra security.
Option 2: Adhesive (Optional for Special Occasions)
  1. Clean your hairline with rubbing alcohol to remove oils.
  2. Apply a thin layer of wig glue or gel along the hairline.
  3. Let it dry until tacky, then gently press the lace into place.
  4. Tie down the edges with a silk scarf for 10–15 minutes for a secure melt.

💡 Tip: Klass Hair Wigs offers both glue and glueless units—perfect for your preferred installation method.


Step 4: Style and Blend

Now the fun begins! Once your wig is installed:

  • Part the hair where you want it
  • Flatten it with a hot comb or straightener (use a heat protectant)
  • Lay your baby hairs if desired using edge control
  • Add curls, waves, or volume as you wish

Don’t forget to blend the lace using powder or foundation that matches your skin tone for a seamless finish.


Step 5: Wig Care 101

To keep your wig looking fresh:

  • Detangle gently with a wide-tooth comb
  • Store on a wig stand or in a satin bag
  • Wash every 2–3 weeks with sulfate-free shampoo
  • Deep condition regularly, especially with curly textures

Taking care of your wig = longer wear + better styling options.
