Why Is It Difficult to Wear a Short Wig with Long Hair?
For beauty enthusiasts, styling hair quickly before heading out can be a constant challenge, especially with long hair. As someone with long hair, I often find myself imagining the look of a short haircut, but growing out my hair takes so much effort that I don’t want to cut it again. This is where a short wig comes in handy. However, wearing a short wig with long hair can be tricky because of the excessive length and volume. So how can long hair be properly fitted into a short wig? In this blog, we'll share tips on how to manage this challenge and enjoy the beauty of short hair without cutting your locks.
How to Make Long Hair Fit More Naturally Under a Short Wig?
1️ Braid Your Hair into Sections
-
If you have thick hair, start by braiding it into a single or multiple braids.
-
For extremely long and voluminous hair, divide your hair into two or more braids for better distribution.
2️Secure the Braids with Hair Clips
-
Use bobby pins or hair clips to secure the braids at the back of your head, avoiding placing them on top.
-
If you’re worried about your hair coming loose, consider using a wig cap to hold everything in place.
3️Wear a Wig Cap for Extra Hold
-
If you find it difficult to keep all the hair in place, wear a wig cap first.

This will help flatten and evenly distribute the hair, reducing any bumps underneath the wig.
4️ Apply Matte Hair Wax for a Natural Look
-
Once the wig is on, apply a small amount of matte hair wax to the wig to avoid an overly shiny look.
-
Use your fingers to tousle the hair and create a loose, messy visual effect with volume and texture.
