There are multiple ways to keep a wig on. The main reason why wigs slip off is because the wig is usually too small or too big. Every once in a while you may come across a perfect sized wig where it automatically stays on without any tricks. But for those of us who haven’t found a perfect fitting wig yet, here are 5 methods to keep your wig in place.

• #1 – rubber bands – the most popular method. You take a couple thick rubber bands and just wrap it around your dolls head. This is kinda trial and error, you may need more or less bands depending on the wig.
• #2 – silicon wig cap

– the silicon’s friction against the wig will keep the wig in place.

• #3 – velcro

– Use stick on velcro and stick it on your doll’s head. The velcro will prevent the wig from slipping and falling. Velcro isn’t recommended though because it may destroy the wig when it catches on the hairs.

• #4 – elastic

– You can always buy some elastic and sew it on the inner rim of your wig. This method makes the wigs fit more snugly. Still, I usually pair this up with rubber bands because there is still a chance of the wig slipping if the elastic isn’t tight enough.

• #5 – tape

– I don’t really recommend this method since the tape loses it’s stickiness after a while. But double-sided tape can help wigs stay on. You can use normal tape, double-sided tape, or athletic tape for this. Athletic tape also has the bonus of not leaving a sticky residue to the head!

• #6 – moleskin

– Mole skin strips can also help wigs stay on heads!

• #7 – hot glue

– put hot glue in a circular motion around your dolls head.

• #8 – sticky Tak

– put it near the front of the wig to prevent it from shifting.

• #9 – silicon gloves

– You can cut out the fingers and put them on the dolls head. Works like silicon wig caps.

And those are the five ways that I’m aware of. Do you have any wig keeping on methods that I haven’t mentioned?
