Top 5 Wig Mistakes Beginners Make (and How to Avoid Them)

Wearing a wig for the first time can be exciting—but also a little overwhelming. At Klass Hair Wigs, we believe that knowledge is power, and we’re here to help you avoid common beginner mistakes that could mess with your look or damage your wig.

Here are the top 5 wig mistakes beginners make, and how to fix them like a pro.

❌ Mistake #1: Choosing the Wrong Wig Cap Size

The Problem:
Many first-time wig wearers don’t measure their heads and end up with a wig that’s either too tight (causing headaches) or too loose (leading to slipping).

The Fix:
✔ Measure your head with a soft measuring tape
✔ Know your circumference, front-to-nape, and ear-to-ear measurements
✔ Check the sizing chart before buying

💡 Klass Hair Wigs offers adjustable straps and elastic bands for a custom fit!

❌ Mistake #2: Skipping the Wig Prep

The Problem:
Putting a wig on without prepping your natural hair or scalp can cause bumps under your wig or damage your hairline.

The Fix:
✔ Braid or slick your natural hair flat
✔ Wear a wig cap that matches your skin tone
✔ Moisturize your scalp and edges to avoid dryness

💡 A clean, flat foundation = flawless install.

❌ Mistake #3: Using Too Much Glue (or the Wrong Kind)

The Problem:
Some beginners overuse lace glue or use harsh adhesives not meant for wigs, causing buildup or even hair loss.

The Fix:
✔ Try glueless wigs or melt bands for easy, safe installation
✔ If using glue, use a lace-specific adhesive and let it dry clear before applying lace
✔ Always remove with proper lace glue remover—never rip the lace off!

💡 Glueless options from Klass Hair Wigs = zero damage, all slay.

❌ Mistake #4: Ignoring Wig Care

The Problem:
Wigs are an investment—but many beginners treat them like fast fashion, causing dryness, tangling, or shedding.

The Fix:
✔ Use sulfate-free, alcohol-free products
✔ Wash every 2–3 weeks or after 6–8 wears
✔ Detangle with a wide-tooth comb and store properly

💡 Well-cared wigs can last up to a year or more!

❌ Mistake #5: Expecting a Wig to Look “Perfect” Out of the Box

The Problem:
Many think a wig is ready-to-wear without any customization—leading to bulky hairlines, fake-looking parts, or wig frustration.

The Fix:
✔ Pluck the hairline or buy pre-plucked wigs
✔ Add foundation to the part or lace to match your scalp
✔ Use a hot comb to flatten the top
✔ Style and trim to suit your face shape

💡 Klass Hair Wigs come pre-plucked and beginner-friendly to make your life easier.
