How to Put On a Box Braided Wig

Putting on a box braided wig is easy with these simple steps:

Step 1: Prepare Your Natural Hair

• Before putting on your wig, ensure your natural hair is clean, dry, and neatly braided or flattened against your scalp. This provides a smooth base for the wig to sit on and helps prevent any bulges or bumps.

Step 2: Wear a Wig Cap

• Put on a wig cap that matches your skin tone. This helps to secure your natural hair and creates a more realistic look by providing a base that blends with your scalp.

Step 3: Adjust the Wig

• Place the wig on your head and adjust it so that it sits comfortably on your scalp. Ensure that the front of the wig aligns with your natural hairline.
• If the wig feels too tight or loose, adjust the straps inside the wig cap to achieve a comfortable fit. Avoid pulling the wig too tight, as this can cause discomfort and damage to your natural hair.

Step 4: Secure the Wig

• Adjust the straps or combs located inside the wig cap to ensure a secure fit. Tuck any stray hairs under the wig cap to ensure a seamless fit.

Step 5: Finish Touch and Style as Desired

• To create a seamless blend between your natural hair and the wig, you can use a small amount of edge control or gel along your hairline. This helps to smooth down any flyaways and creates a more natural-looking finish.
• Once the wig is securely in place, you can style it as desired. You can leave it down for a natural look, create a ponytail, or experiment with different styles to suit your mood and occasion.
