Women who have extremely short hair or are completely bald will not have a lot of problems putting on a wig. All they have to do is apply the adhesive to the edge of the wig and affix it to where their natural hairline is. But what if you have long hair that you want to conceal under a wig? For obvious reasons, this can be a lot more difficult.
One of the first concerns of long-haired women is that their head might look unnaturally large when they hide their long locks under the wig. But this doesn't have to be the case is they put on the wig properly.
The first thing that you have to do is to brush your hair until it is as smooth and flat as it could possibly get. Then take a piece of elastic and tie your hair in a ponytail right at the nape. Flip the ponytail upwards, making sure the elastic stays at the nape of your neck. Use a couple of bobby pins to secure the hair in place. If your hair is very long, the ends will be hanging down over your face at this point, which is where you should leave it for the moment.
Next, take the wig and stretch the cap over your head starting from the nape. As you stretch the cap, flatten your own hair further until the cap is completely over your head. If you are able to do this without using bobby pins, all the better because the wig cap will be able to lie more flatly against your head.
Now, for those with extra long hair, you will have to part the hanging strands into two. Take the left-hand portion and tuck it in under the wig cap on your right side. Do the same with the remaining portion.
That's all there is to it. If you are able to flatten your hair well, no one will suspect that you are hiding long tresses under your wig and your head will look no bigger than average either.
An additional trick that you can use is to buy a wig whose base is in basically the same color as the hair. For example, blonde hair should be attached to a light-colored cap, while darker hair should be attached to a similarly dark base. This will reduce the risk that the base will stand out, making your head look bigger than it really is.
