In truth, there can be nothing more annoying than when your wig rides up at the back of your head! There can be various reasons for your wig to ride up in the back. Take a look at some of the common reasons why this may happen and see if any of them rings true for you.
Let us know in the comments below, what you do to help stop this from happening.
1. First things, first.
The most important first step to figuring out what the reason is? We suggest measuring your head to make sure that you are fitting for the correct size of the wig. It is very easy to do, and you can find how we suggest taking your measurements. Then once you are armed with this information you can decide whether this may be a cause of the wig riding up.
2. If you have no/very little hair…
. . . then you may want to consider a wig grip. There are two types that will help, as they have been designed to make wearing a wig during hair loss more secure, confident and comfortable. They adjust to body movement and distributes the weight of a wig evenly and keeps them from slipping.

WIG GRIP HEADBAND – No more need for tape, glue or clips. The Wig Grip headband will keep your wig in place all day long. Provides peace of mind by making your wig more comfortable and preventing it from slipping.
If you do not want to use a wig grip then you may want to try using wig clips that can be sewn onto the fabric part of the wigs. Simply sew the clips in the area that requires the extra security – in the nape, one at each ear tab,
If you have total hair loss you may find that you can use wig tape to help secure your wig. A variety of wigs will have certain areas where you can easily attach tape for extra security.
3. If you have some hair…
. . . that you are trying to conceal under your wig. There may be a couple of ways that you may want to try to stop the wig from riding up.
Secure your hair before you put on your wig. Make sure that your hair is that is tied flatly and close to the base of your nape as possible. Secure it with bobby pins to make sure it is FLAT before applying your wig cap, making sure that your hair is in a bun that is tied flatly (and as close to 2” – 4”) above the base of your nape as possible. Secure it with wig clips to make sure it is flat before applying your wig cap.
You can always use wig clips that are easily sewn into your cap to secure your wig. We recommend using the small pressure-sensitive wig clips and simply sew in at the nape and one at each ear tab. Place your wig onto your head, then simply head by pressing on the centres of the wig clips, you can ‘snap' to secure the wig and ‘unsnap' to remove the wig.
