How to Wear a 3/4 Wig

Monica Bullock
Give your hair more length and volume by wearing a ¾ wig. These hairpieces make good cover for balding hair that or forgetting a new style quickly. When running short on time, wear a ¾ wig instead of styling your whole head of hair. Choose a wig made from real hair for the best results. Limit the use of styling products on your synthetic hair.

1. Create a part in your hair that stretches from ear to ear. The part should go over the top of the head.

2. Pull all the hair forward from your part and clip it to the side.

3. Pull the remaining hair, if it is long enough, up in a ponytail or bun.

4. Take the wig out of the box and shake it carefully. If it has been stored for some time, you may wish to brush the hair piece by piece.

5. Locate the top and the back comb of the wig.

6. Slide the comb into place, centering it first in the middle of your head along the part. Hold the wig down with one hand and slide the second comb into place with the other hand.

7. Arrange the sides of the wig to fit the shape of your scalp. Slide the side combs into your hair securing the wig down. Leave the hair you combed forward out of the wig.

8. Remove the clipped hair you have in reserve. Style the hair back to blend it in with the wig. Use hair spray to keep the hair in place.

9. Examine the back and sides of the wig by using a hand held mirror and a larger mirror. Make any adjustments you need. When you are finished wearing your wig, remove it without damaging your hair.
