How to Wear Your Costume Wig

Now that you have one of our excellent Halloween costume wigs, you’re probably wondering what the best way to wear it is. Wearing a wig for the first time can be intimidating, especially when you’re worried about making sure your costume is top-notch.

After you take the wig out of its packaging, take some timeto gently brush it out and style it as you want. If you’ve purchased a hairpiece that is already style for you—as is the case with manyHalloween wigs—skip this step entirely! Any brushing or styling you do may ruinthe overall look.

Once you have your Halloween wig styled, you’ll want to prep your natural hair and get it out of the way. If you have long hair, make sure you distribute it evenly over your head so it doesn’t budge once you have the wig on. If you have shorter hair, a small ponytail is usually enough to keep it out of the way.

Now that your hair is pinned up and ready for the wig, allyou need to do it put it on! Wearing a wig cap can help keep your hair in placeand make it easier to pull on the costume wig. The easiest way to put on your costumewig is to put it on the front of your head and pull it over toward the back.
