Tutorial: How to put on wigcap

Here is the second of three tutorials I took pictures for a few days ago at school, for putting on and wearing wigs.
This one is about how to put on a wigcap (after your hair has been pincurled). For some reason, it seems longer than it should be - this is an insanely simple process, that after a few tries, turns out to take less than three minutes to do, but I wanted to be as detailed as possible with pictures and descriptions, so it makes sense.
For the pins, I have found these via Sally Beauty & Supply:
Smaller hair pins - [link]
Larger hair pins - [link] (you do not use these for putting on a wig cap - these are for the actual wig itself, but I wanted to include the link for ease of ordering!)
Unless you're wearing an extremely light colored wig, always get black pins (bobbi pins and hair pins) because they won't reflect light - they just look like the roots of hair.
Again, a thank you goes out to ~MedeaHiasobi for helping me with this (it's her hands with blue fingernails you see in the pictures
) ~ you should go watch her, too!

Lace frontal wigs or frontal lace wigs, as they are sometimes called, are a variation of lace wigs. Lace wigs can be classified by their mesh appearance that adds a greater realism to your human hair wigs. Be sure to check out Zayn Ting lace front wigs and their various selection of wigs to suit your style and needs.

If it's really short, you can use toupee clips to anchor your wig down to - they're easy to get in, and you can find them at Sally's and sometimes places like Walgreens even - just put them in wherever you can't pincurl your hair, or where the wig is going to need extra support (like under big buns and the like) and use your wig pins into those instead of the pincurls, and your wig should stay put through anything :3

You'll still need something to hold the wig in place underneath, so if pin curls are not possible, look for little clips, usually called toupee clips, or sometimes just extension clips, at somewhe like Sally's Beauty Supply! I haven't found them anywhere else, but they're just what you need - I can snap a photo of what they look like if that'll help! You just put them in in the same places you'd put the pin curls, and pin the wig pins under those instead of into the pin curls :3

Yes! It definitely will still work - you can either have someone help you pincurl your hair (my hair is that long, and that is what I do) or, you can put your hair into two french or dutch braids (one on either side) and cross them under the base of your skull (kind of like a "U" shape) - that way, there isn't any visible bulk to make the wig look funny! You put the wig cap on in the same way, and it should all be good! :3
Just a word of warning - practice it a couple of times before you plan on wearing it, just so that you don't get frustrated doing it
