How a Half Wig Is Installable
Divide your hair into two portions to apply a half wig. the area where you want to wear your half-wig and the area where you want to keep your natural hair.
For ease of handling, you can cover the wig section hair with a wig cap or arrange it in a cornrow. A half wig is simpler to install than a sew-in hair extension or a frontal wig.
We'll walk you through our easy, step-by-step half-wig installation procedure in this post.
Simple Step-by-Step Guide for Installing a Half Wig
A half or ¾ wig is made only to cover ¾ of your total head circumference. If you are trying to fit a half wig around the full circumference of your head (up to your hairline), then you are going to struggle to make it snap across your hairline.
Why?
That is because it was not designed to overlap with your natural hairline. This product is designed to cover ¾ of your natural hair, allowing you to use the remaining hair to get your chosen finish.
Follow these simple steps to successfully install your half wig:
Step 1: Part Your Hair
To achieve a ¾ of your complete head circumference, divide your hair into two unequal pieces with a sectioning comb.
Make sure the smaller piece covers your ears; for a more realistic look, leave some hair behind your ears down to your neck (depending on the haircut you want).
The image above shows a round ¾ part. This type of parting is great for a ponytail-style half wig.
Your desired hairstyle will determine the style of your parting. For example, if you want to wear a center or all-back wig, you can simply part the small section of your hair from ear to ear.
You can use a hair tie or a claw clip to put away the sectioned hair, or just braid or twist the leave out hair.
Step 2: Set the Foundation for Your Half Wig Installation
After you have parted your hair into two sections. The big section (where you would attach your half wig), and the small section of leave-out hair.
To make it easier to apply the half wig, place a large section of parted hair in a cornrow. If you're in a rush, leave the hair loose, although placing it in a cornrow makes it easier to attach the half wig.
This is also an excellent opportunity to build the groundwork for the little piece of hair. This is where you'll decide whether to wear your half wig on the side, center, or middle.
Step 3: Prepare Your Half Wig
After sectioning your hair and laying the base for your half wig, it's time to prep the wig. If it's an old wig, make sure to properly untangle and condition the hair to avoid frizz and matting.
If you are working with a new 100% human hair half wig, you might just need to measure the area of the attachment area against the circumference of the sectioned hair. The next thing is to adjust the drawstring of your half wig to match the circumference of your section of hair you are working with.
Step 4: Install the Wig
You've finished fastening the half wig to your head. It's time to style your half wig to get the look you want.
The next step is to style the remaining hair and then combine it with the half wig that has already been secured at the back.
The style you select for your left-out hair is dictated by the look you want to achieve. If you want to slick down your natural hair in an all-back or center part, follow these easy steps:
If your half wig has a hook adjustment, modify it to fit the size of your head. Once the half wig is securely attached to the front and rear of your head, style your hair as desired.
Step 5: Blend Leave Out and Style your Half Wig
You have finished securing the half wig on your head. Now it's time to style your half wig to create the look you want.
The next step is to style the left-out hair and then merge it with the half wig that has already been fixed at the back.
The style you choose for your left-out hair is determined by the look you wish to achieve. If you want to slick down your natural hair in an all-back or center part, prepare it by following these simple steps:
a. Detangle your natural hair (with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb), particularly if you have naturally curly type 4 hair.
b. Moisturize your hair. Use a leave-in conditioner, oil, or hair butter to keep moisture in. Moisturizing your hair makes the manipulation process more comfortable and less uncomfortable.
c. Comb and style your hair as desired. To achieve a curly hair texture, mix your natural hair with the half wig in the rear.
You may need a heat styling instrument to accomplish this. Whether you want to add curls or create a sleek, straight appearance. Don't forget to use a heat protectant to keep your strands from becoming damaged.
If you want to create a personalized style (for example, mixing a cornrow with a half wig), weave the hair in the appropriate way. Use edge control or defining gels to smooth down the hair around your edges for a cleaner look.
Once you've finished merging the left-out hair with the half in the back, you can place the entire hair in your desired style.
You can wear your hair half-up, half-down, or smooth it down. However, these are the best five methods to style your half wig.
