For many wig-wearers, "wig-drobe" malfactions are a serious fear. When you're out dancing, stolling at the beach on a windy day, or even just working at the office, the last thing you want is your wig to slip, slide, or—worst of all—fall off altogether. Luckily, we have the tips and tools to help you keep your wig securely on your head so you can live your life without the worry of having a Janet Jackson Super Bowl moment. So go ahead and whip your hair back and fourth! Here are our expert tricks to keep your wig in place.
1. Adjustment Tabs
Most wigs come equipped with adjustable tabs inside the wig cap. These tabs are most commonly elastic bands with sliders and velcro ends. They are simple to use, allowing you to adjust the tabs quickly and easily to get the perfect fit.
Made from soft silicone, the Cushion Band is an adjustable gel-filled headband that can be worn under any wig. The silicone grips and adheres to the skin to hold your wig in place. It is also comfortable and cooling. It conforms to pressure points on the head to evenly distribute weight, making your wig more comfortable and relieving pressure headaches.

It Stays Wig Glue is exactly what it sounds like: glue that holds your wig in place! This easy-to-use roller glue is most useful on lace front wigs to glue the lace securely to your forehead. It stays on all day, but is still easy to remove. If you're looking for a more gentle option, our Cardani Secure Hold Glue is a latex-free, wig-safe glue that is great for sensitive skin. It also holds all day long!
Our Customers Are Saying:
"This really works. I use it everyday to secure my wig. Even after sweating it holds. I roll a few times to the front of my hairline and that's it. To take it off from I just wet with my fingers and rub between my wig and head and it releases. All stickiness is gone but there is still some on the wig until you wash it fully. I have alopecea so I hope this post helps someone."

The First Step: Finding a Wig That Fits
While there are lots of ways to make sure your wig is secure on the head and stays in place, the most important thing is make sure your wig is the correct size. There are four different sizes when it comes to wigs: Petite, Petite/Average, Average, and Large. While most people do comfortably fit into an average sized wig, you may be one of the people who needs a petite or large-sized wig. If this is the case, then an average-sized wig will never feel truly secure and comfortable on your head. The first thing you must do is measure your head and purchase a wig in the right size. After that, you can use one or more of the methods above to ensure your wig is extra secure. Learn more about finding the proper wig size here.
