How To Put On a Wear and Go Wig in 5 Minutes (Step-by-Step)
One of the biggest myths about wigs is that they're complicated. With a wear and go wig from Melted Hair, you're looking at a 5-minute routine — max.
What You'll Need
- Your Melted Hair wear and go wig
- A wig cap (nude or skin-tone)
- Edge brush (optional)
- Edge control (optional)
No glue. No tape. No scissors. That's the point.
Step 1: Prep Your Natural Hair (1 minute)
Braid, cornrow, or lay your natural hair flat. Put on a wig cap that closely matches your skin tone. This helps the wig sit flat and the lace blend naturally.
Step 2: Position the Wig (1 minute)
Hold the wig by the front and back. Place the front approximately 1–2 finger-widths above your natural hairline for a realistic, natural look.
Step 3: Secure the Wig (1 minute)
Fasten the back strap first, then tighten the side straps until the wig feels snug but comfortable. Snap in the combs for extra hold.
Step 4: Press Down the HD Lace (1 minute)
Using your fingers or an edge brush, gently press the HD lace down against your skin. HD lace naturally molds to your skin and appears invisible — no glue needed.
Step 5: Style & Go! (1 minute)
Your wig is already pre-styled — just part it where you like and add edge control if desired. Done!
Pro Tips for a More Natural Look
- 🔥 Use a hair dryer on low heat to "melt" the HD lace for 30 seconds
- 💄 Apply a thin layer of foundation along the hairline to blend the lace
- ✂️ Melted Hair wigs come pre-cut, but trim any tiny excess if needed
