It takes patience and skill to style a human hair afro wigs into a natural and balanced appearance. To tailor your wig to perfection, follow these steps.
1. Prepare The Wig
Begin by setting the wig upon a mannequin head to secure it firmly. Refrain from using fine-tooth combs or brushes, as these can produce frizz.
2. Identify The Desired Shape
Choose the style you desire, whether a rounded afro, tapered cut, or asymmetrical style. Use reference pictures if necessary to direct your shaping process.
3. Trim Carefully
Use sharp hair shears to cut the wig in small increments. Start at the crown and work your way down, cutting small sections at a time to avoid over-cutting. Cut in a circular motion for a natural, rounded appearance. To create a layered look, cut the outer curls slightly shorter than the inner curls.
4. Define The Shape
After trimming, fluff the hair once more and inspect for uneven spots. Use scissors to make final trims, balancing and ensuring symmetry. Lightly spray the wig with water or leave-in conditioner to define curls.
5. Care For The Wig
To keep your afro wig in good condition, store it correctly on a mannequin head and minimize heat styling. Regularly moisturize using wig-friendly products to keep it soft and hold its shape.
Following these steps, you can have a well-shaped afro wig that suits your taste.
