Acrylic Wig application

Firstly our wig and Hair Lecturer gave us a demonstration of how to apply an acrylic wig to the head and making sure its secure.

Equipment:

  • Wig
  • Curby Grips
  • Thin Grips
  • Hair brush
  • pin tail comb
  • stocking cap
  1. Firstly we started with pin tail curling the hair and making anchor points for the wig to attach to. Start with the front section and pull the hair off the face and twist it up in your hand and grip it down. If you part the hair in the middle you can create two or three on each side of the head at the front.
  2. Next create a large pin tail curl at the back of your head (crown) and then the two sections either side swoop it round the hair both sides. Finally the bottom two sections by the neck twirl it around and place it on the opposite side and grip it down and then the same with the other side. Try the get the hair as flat as possible. 
  3. Once the hair is all gripped down place the stocking cap over the head. Use your pintail comb to push in any stray hairs. Then use a large grip to place into the cap and back on itself into the hair to make sure its secure.
  4. Now the cap is on and nice and secure ask your model to put her fingers up at the front of the forehead and place the wig at the front while your model holds on pull the wig over the back of the head. 
  5. Then grab some large grips and grip through the wig to the head and put it backwards on itself to make sure its secure. Place two either side of the head by the ears, two at the back by the neck and two at the top of the head (crown) this is to make sure he wig stays on.
