    Default I don't know how to put on this wig??

    Hi ladies,

    I recently bought a long, blonde wig online from ebay. I was kind of sticker shocked by the price of a lot of wigs and this one was 18inches, blonde and $180 (coming from china...i'm probably a bad person). Anyway I don't really like the look of it when I try it on...I think it could work but I don't know what to do with it. It's a full lace cap with no combs. I assume I need wig glue? Can someone recommend a brand? I'm also afraid of how delicate it is, when I brush it some hairs fall out My actual hair right now is a little past my shoulders and I'd like to continue growing it out if I could.

    Thanks in advance everyone!

    Most wigs shed, but if it seems to be shedding a lot you may have been ripped off. I'm always a bit hesitant about sites like Ebay because a lot of less reputable businesses on there use stolen photos. Unfortunately if it is a low quality wig its not going to look very nice.
    As for sticking it down, wig glue is the way to go.

    Here's a lot of info for beginning lace front wearers:

    There's a bunch of tutorials on youtube for actually how to put them on.

    Aside from that I'd say just practice putting it on and wearing it for a few hours before trying to work while wearing it.

    Thanks so much for the link! I was afraid of buying online but the seller had great reviews so I went for it. I am pretty sure it is a good quality wig and I just don't know what I am doing. The hair does look human and natural. It is not shedding too much so maybe that part is normal.

    I'm not in a very good area for getting professional help with this so I think I'll hold onto it until I can see someone in person.

    Oh, I forgot to mention about brushing your wig. It might be shedding if you're not brushing it correctly. I use a wide tooth comb on mine because it doesn't pull out so many hairs.

    Ebay will refund you even if the seller won't..I'd ask for a refund if you're not happy. I was a power seller on Ebay w/outstanding feedback, & the temper tantrums some ppl threw..over a 1.00 item sometimes, not saying you're like that, but basically I had to comply.

    Long time wig/extension wearer here.

    The first thing I'd suggest is holding your wig over the toilet or trashcan, and SLOWLY comb it out, starting at the ends. All wigs, no matter how much money you drop on them, are going to shed. Unless it's literally falling apart in chunks, it's probably okay. Second, I don't know if you have a beauty supply store anywhere near you, but most have some kind of knot sealer. You spray knot sealer in the inside of the wig cap, this helps SOMEWHAT with the shedding. Lace wigs are a little bit tricky. I honestly wouldn't suggest using wig glue, unless you love it. Wig/extension glue is just kinda a pain. Most beauty supply have tape that you can stick on the inside of the wig that holds it to your head without using glue. I always just hold a warm, damp rag to the spot with the tape and it comes right off. I think it's a lot more of a temporary solution, unless you're planning on sleeping in your lace wig once it's glued.

    Sorry, this is sorta long. Lol. Last thing (I think, lol) wigs are kinda like new heels, you gotta break them in sometimes. If you don't like the way it looks because of the cut/style take it to a salon. They'll make it how you want it.
    For as long as I can remember, I've been different. I've always felt apart from the rest. Maybe it's because I want to be and so I make it so. Or maybe I really am different, perhaps we aren't as alike as we all thought we were. I don't know, I don't have the answers, I'm not even sure I want one.

    Anyway, Lynn, maybe the cap's too small? Do you wear a liner under it, those net things, or some use a pieces of nylon stocking

    Thanks whirlez and mshennesey! I am happy with the wig, I am sure it's good quality and I just don't know what I am doing w/ it. I haven't touched it in a while now, I don't need it for a couple months still. I bought it bc it was a good deal and I didn't want to lose it. But I will remember the knot sealer and the tape!

    You can get combs and sew them in yourself.
