What Can I Use Instead Of Wig Glue?

We all enjoy switching up our haircuts occasionally, and a wig can let you do so.  However, the perfect way to wear a wig is one of the main worries for many beauty enthusiasts.  You should look for other simple ways to hold and wear your wig if you believe that the tape or adhesive is filthy.  What can be used in place of wig glue, then?  You're surprised at how many alternatives you have!  We'll go over a number of glue-free wig wearing techniques in this post.

Handheld Spray

Many wig wearers ditch the hair glue and use a setting spray instead. Why? Like glue, the holding spray provides a long-lasting hold to keep your wig cap or hair shade firmly in place.

Additionally, the spray has the tremendous advantage of being easy to apply to your hairline and allowing for layering without making the wig appear thick or bulky.  For up to a week, it protects your wig.

1. How to fit a wig using a handheld spray

The spray can be applied with a handheld spray in a number different ways.  Today, we present one of the most widely used techniques.

1.1 Preparation

When using a high-volume spray, you will need to use the following supplies for your wig:

Maximum Strength Fixing Spray

Hair Dryer

Silk Scarf

Bottled Alcohol

Cotton Ball

1.2 Step-by-step instructions

(1) To get rid of oil and skin residue, wet a cotton ball with alcohol and clean along the hairline.

 (2) Place the wig on your head and adjust its position to your preference.

 (3) Lightly lift the wig's edge and liberally mist the hairline with hairspray.

 (4) Use a hair dryer set to "cool" and run the spray until the mist begins to become sticky.

 (5) Remove your wig and press the wig lace into the mist when the spray has become tacky.

(6) Use a hair dryer to blow dry the spray after firmly pressing each component into the skin.

 (7) To let the lace stick to your skin as it dries, tie a silk scarf around your fringe after you've pinned your entire hairline.

 (8) Take the scarf off and ensure that the hairspray dries completely.

 (9) Wipe any remaining spray from your face with an alcohol-soaked cotton ball.

 (10) Modify the wig's appearance and position, and you're done!
