How To Make A Wig Look Natural 
| DIY V Part Wig

While wigs are convenient, inexpensive wigs often look unnatural, especially when worn daily or for special occasions, which can be embarrassing. Many people are looking for ways to make wigs appear more realistic but often don’t know where to start.

Solution: DIY for a more natural look.

Fortunately, with some simple tools and techniques, you can easily make your wig look like real hair. This article will detail how to style your wig to make it appear more natural and attractive.

Tools and Materials

  • An inexpensive wig
  • Scissors
  • Small hair clips
  • Hot glue gun (or strong adhesive)

Steps

Step 1: Find the Natural Hairline

First, determine the natural hairline of the wig. Whether it’s a lace front or a standard cap, you can trim it according to the natural hairline. This line will simulate the V-part wig hairline position; you can choose to center it or part it to the left or right, depending on your preference.

Step 2: Trim the Wig

Use scissors to trim the wig along the hairline. Don’t worry; it’s normal for some hair to fall out after trimming. Make sure the trimmed hairline is even.

Step 3: Secure the Hair Clips

On the inside of the wig, use a hot glue gun (or other strong adhesive) to attach small hair clips on either side of the hairline. Ensure the clips are facing upwards for better stability when wearing the wig.

Step 4: Wear the Wig

Put the wig on and pull a small section of your natural hair out from the hairline to cover the wig’s hairline. This will help the wig look like it’s growing from your own hair.

Step 5: Adjust and Secure

Use colored hairspray or dry shampoo to adjust the color of the wig and your natural hair for a better match. If needed, you can use eyeshadow to cover any white parts of the wig to make it look more natural.

Final Adjustments

Finally, use hairspray to set your hair, ensuring the wig and your natural hair blend seamlessly. This way, your wig will look just like your natural hair.
