6 Smart Tips Every Wig-Wearer Should Know

Hey Queen,

Let’s talk wigs, not just the “put it on and go” part, but the little hacks that separate the “I just threw this on” look from the “who’s her stylist?” vibe.

A client named Tara walked into Flourish Beauty Palace last week in a gorgeous curly unit. But something was... off. The curls were limp, the lace was lifting, and sis was struggling with itchiness under there. “I’ve been wearing wigs for three years, but nobody told me there were actual rules,” she laughed.

Well, that’s what we’re here for.

Here are 6 must-know wig hacks every wig-wearer should live by:

1. Always Prep Your Natural Hair First

Wearing a wig isn’t an excuse to ignore your crown underneath. Moisturize, braid down neatly, and wear a wig cap — your scalp will thank you. And yes, sweat builds up under wigs, too!

2. Secure It Without Stressing Your Edges

We’ve seen too many snatched edges from over-tight glue or combs. Try an adjustable elastic band, a good-quality wig grip, or better still, a glueless wig. (P.S. We’ve got stunning glueless units in stock)

3. Tame That Lace Like a Pro

Melt it with mousse, not glue overload. Use a hot comb to lay the roots flat. And please, please tint the lace to match your skin tone. That “scalp who?” illusion doesn’t come from vibes — it takes finesse.

4. Wash Your Wig 

If it smells like product build-up and doesn’t move like it used to… it needs a wash. Use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner, and let it air dry. Your wig deserves spa days, too.

5. Rotate, Don’t Overuse

Even the best wigs wear out fast when you wear one unit daily. Have at least 2–3 in your rotation — it saves you money and keeps your look fresh. Check our latest drops online and in-store if you need a switch-up.

6. Store It Right

Stop tossing your wig on the chair like it’s a throw pillow. Use a satin bag or wig stand to keep its shape and bounce.
