  How to add more room to your small wig?

  Braid your natural hair underneath

  The other way of making your undersized wig feel larger is by braiding your natural hair into neat cornrows before placing it on that unit. Braiding should be appropriate, ensuring that the braids go straight at the back of your head to maintain that flat foundation for your natural hair underneath.

  Braid foundations are also essential to place under the wig caps, as compared to simply putting your hair back into a ponytail or bun, then wearing your blonde ombre wig on top of your hair. Proper braiding of hair is very fundamental as it will keep your hair completely flat and less bumpy in appearance.

  Proper braiding ensures that your wig doesn't appear like it's sitting on top of your head while creating more wig space underneath.

  Adding wefts from an older cheap frontal wig

  Use a good old seam ripper for this method. The ripper should be a standard one with a good point having a new sharp cutting edge centre. Separate the wefts from the extra wig’s cap, being extra careful not to break the wefts or stitch. It's worth pointing out that wefts are those long strips of hair on a wig.

  Add the extra hair weft onto the underside of your hd lace frontal wigs then bring it out and over. The hairline weft should always be about twice as thick as your standard weft if you happen to have enough hair on your space wig.

  Those who prefer creating their wefts must always ensure that it’s twice thicker when compared to the regular weft. Always Keep your weft thick enough to ensure the edges are invisible.

  Finally, sew the hair carefully under the hairlines and pull it back to a proper position. The new weft will appear puffy at first, and it's usually advisable that you iron the hair flat using a pressing cloth and also a Teflon material. Turn the iron on high setting and press it on the hair momentarily, while taking care not to go up on the transparent lace wigs cotton.

  Wigs play a pivotal role when it comes to ladies making a fashion statement. Not only are they stunning, but they're also a great protective style that ensures your natural hair is free from breakage or damage. We hope it can help you when you meet this problem when buying a wig.
