Don’t let a crappy Halloween wig ruin your costume! Just because it’s a budget wig doesn’t mean it has to look bad. With a few low-effort hacks, you can take that wig from flat to fabulous in no time. If you’ve already conquered the lines at Spirit Halloween, you’re definitely brave enough to make the most of your wig. Here’s how to give it a little extra love:
First things first—use a wig cap. This is a simple but crucial step that will make a huge difference in how the wig sits on your head. Even a cheap wig cap from the store will help keep your hair in place and ensure a smoother fit for your wig. Plus, it’ll make the wig feel more secure and comfortable.
Step 2: Put the Wig On
Now that your wig cap is on, it’s time to put the wig on properly. Don’t just yank it out of the bag and throw it on! Take your time to position it correctly so that it sits snugly on your head.
Step 3: Brush the Wig
Here’s where the real transformation happens—brushing your wig. Most wigs are tangled when you first take them out of the package, but brushing will fix that. Start by working from the bottom and separating the hair, then slowly work your way up to the top.
I recommend using a mixed boar and plastic bristle brush for this. The boar bristles are gentle on the wig’s synthetic fibers, while the plastic bristles help detangle. Brush slowly and gently to avoid pulling out any fibers.
Step 4: Set It with Hairspray
After you’ve worked out the tangles, you can use a bit of hairspray to keep everything in place. Spray a little on your brush and lightly go over the wig to set the style just how you want it. This step will help tame any flyaways and make your wig look smoother and more polished.
Step 5: Secure the Wig with Bobby Pins
Finally, use a bobby pin at the crown of your head to secure the wig. This extra step ensures that the wig won’t slip off or shift around while you’re out enjoying Halloween festivities.
Final Thoughts
With just a few simple steps—putting on a wig cap, brushing the wig, using hairspray, and securing it with a bobby pin—you can make even the cheapest Halloween wig look presentable. Now you’re ready to rock your costume and feel confident about your wig!
Happy Halloween, and have fun with your fabulous new look! ?
