4 Embarrassing Things About Wigs Slipping That No One Wants To Talk About - And What You Can Do About Them!

1. Revealing the wig cap: The most noticeable issue is the wig cap, the mesh or nylon netting that fits under the wig, if you're wearing one. If the wig slips back, it can expose the cap, which is a dead giveaway you're wearing a wig.

2. Feeling exposed and self-conscious: Wigs can be a form of self-expression or a way to deal with hair loss. A slip-up can make you feel vulnerable and exposed, especially if you're not open about wearing a wig.

3. Sudden hair transformation: The shift in hairstyle can be dramatic and attention-grabbing, especially if your wig is very different from your natural hair. It can lead to unwanted stares and questions.

4. Loss of control and insecurity: A wig slipping can feel like a loss of control over your appearance. It can trigger worries that people are judging you or noticing something unusual.

There are ways to secure your wig better.

1. Wear a velvet wig grip underneath: Some wig grips even have a mesh part to be less noticeable under a monofilament wig. They produce friction between your head and the wig cap, offering a firm hold.

2. Use a water soluble glue made for hair: Got2B Glued can give extra security at the lace front to keep your wig from sliding back.

3. Double-sided tape: tape specifically made to secure wigs to skin can be an option to give you assurance.

However, it's important to remember that wig mishaps happen to everyone who wears them. With a little confidence, you can recover from a slip-up without too much fuss!
