How
To Apply A Hairpiece
Applying a hairpiece is really quite simple! The most common
way to apply a hairpiece is to pull your hair back into
a ponytail on the back of your head, and then clip the piece
on using the attached clip or drawstring at the top of the
hairpiece. Below are some diagrams on how this can be applied.
You
can also wear a hairpiece underneath your own hair, or styled
up into your own hair for a thick full up do… It's
fun to play around with it and try out awesome new looks!

How To Apply A 3/4 Wig
Wearing a ¾ is extremely easy to do! It works similarly
to hair extensions or a wig, only it looks completely natural
and can be applied and removed without much hassle at all.
Firstly,
part your hair over the top of your head from ear to ear…
You can wear the piece closer to the front or back of your
head if you feel like it, but for this example we can go
right in the middle.
Once
parted, pull your hair at the back nice and flat against
your head using hairpins or a hair tie. Slide the combs
in at the top along the part and secure until you have a
nice snug fit. If you have fine hair, use a few hairpins
to really fit it into your hair.
Pull
the piece down at the back until the combs slide into your
hair at the nape of your neck, and make sure it has a nice
secure hold there also.
Lastly,
brush your own hair back over the join of the piece, so
that you can't see where it starts or stops. You can have
your own fringe or bangs styled forward, or have it all
slicked back over the top. Play around with it until you
find what suits your face best!

How To
Apply A Wig
Wearing a wig for the first time may seem daunting, but
it is one of the easiest things to do! Simply put your hair
up and out of the way - this can be done using a wig cap
if you have longer hair, or using a few hairpins if your
hair is shorter.
Then,
starting at the front of your wig, place the front fringe
part of the inside of the cap against your forehead, and
then pull it back over the top of your head… sort of
like a baseball cap!! The back of the cap (where the tag
is) should sit at the nape of your neck where your own hairline
finishes.
There
are tabs on either side where your temples are, and you
should make sure they are even and snug. Your wig should
be worn on your natural hairline, approximately four fingers
above the eyebrows. The back of the wig should be pulled
down to the natural hairline in the back. Wigs have adjustable
Velcro & elastic or hook tabs in the back so you can
adjust your wig for a secure, comfortable fit. There are
also small tabs in the front of the ears (temples) that
can be adjusted with a small metal piece inside that can
be bent to hold the wig close to the face.
If
your wig feels too loose or tight, use the clips in the
back base of the cap to tighten or loosen the wig. If you
have a particularly small or large head, we suggest buying
a product that suits your head size perfectly! If it feels
fine but you would like a little added security, you can
slide hairpins underneath the layers of hair and into your
own so the hair cant possibly move!
After
giving your hair a quick finger styling, it should be looking
fantastic!! We have a complete section on our website which
shows you how to style, set and wash your wig - or you can
email us for more information!

Eyelash
Application
Gluing something to your eye sounds a little scary, but
it's actually a lot easier than it looks. After a couple
of tries, you should have it down perfectly! Simply remove
the lash from it's tray and hold by the lashes so that you
can see the lash line.
Run
a thin line of eyelash glue along the length of the strip,
making sure you don't put too much on it.
Blow
lightly on the glue for about 20 seconds or until the glue
reaches a tacky sort of texture.
Tilt
your head back a little, and look down so your eyes are
almost close and gently place the lash down on the area
just above where your own lashes are growing out. Lightly
place it down in the centre first and then slowly let the
edges touch.
Using
the handle of a makeup brush, gently press down lightly
on the join so that it's stuck down evenly all the way along.
Keep your eyes semi closed, so that you don't open your
eye and get glue on your eyelids!
Repeat
with the second lash, and then allow a little moment for
them both to dry. To help your eyelash glue dry quicker,
fan your face with your hands as if you just won the Miss
World pageant. If the movement of the hair still feels cold/wet
on your lash line, the glue isn't quite dry.
Once
your lashes are dry, open your eyes fully and admire your
lengthy new lashes!! To help cover up the seam we recommend
lining your eyes before application, and then sweeping a
fine line of liquid liner over the join once you have finished!

Will My
Wig Fall Off?
A lot of people ask if their wig will fall off. Usually,
they are a first time wearer and haven't tried one on before.
Once you have it in your hands and give it a quick try,
you will realise how snug, safe and secure they feel on
your head! They are adjustable for a snug tight secure fit,
and if you think you are going to be wildly shaking your
head about upside down, you can slide a few hairpins into
the hair into your own for a really strong grip!
If
you don't have any of your own hair, you can use an adhesive
product or tape to ensure maximum hold. Monofilament wigs
generally have tabs on the temples and front where you can
place adhesives for a perfect grab.

Can I Wear
My Wig In A Ponytail?
Wearing your wig in a ponytail should be absolutely fine!
A low ponytail is recommended as the base/nape of the wig
isn't going to look completely natural. The tabs around
the ear area have hair on t hem and we would definitely
suggest you pull a few strands down around that area to
help cover any parts of the cap that could be peeking out!

Hiding
Your Own Hair
Hiding your own hair to wear underneath a wig is relatively
simple. If you have short hair, just pin it up with some
hairpins so it's nice and secure. If you have longer hair,
we suggest pinning your hair evenly over your head, and
wearing a fishnet wig cap to ensure your hair stays up for
the duration of your wig wearing! We sell wigs caps, but
if you don't see the ones you need, just let us know!

Can You Tell It’s
A Wig?
Generally, people don't expect your hair to be pretend,
so people overlook the fact that your hair might be pretend.
Some styles look more natural than others, and depending
on the level of realism you are looking for. The hairline
of a wig can sometimes look a little false depending on
the style - a fringe/bangs helps hide the cap line in those
cases. Lace front wigs are the most natural wigs in the
world… even as wig sellers, we would have a hard time
picking out a lace front from the others! They are the kind
of wigs they use in movies etc to look completely real.
See our Bases help section for more information on the types
of tops you can have!
On
a side note, if you buy a baby pink wig… You can probably
tell it's a wig.
