How to Install a 613 Wig: A Step-by-Step Guide

The 613 wig, known for its sleek and natural blonde color, is a favorite among wig enthusiasts. Whether for everyday wear or special occasions, the 613 wig can add a touch of glamour to your look. Here’s a detailed guide on how to install a 613 wig, ensuring you get a perfect fit every time.

Materials Needed

• 613 wig
• Needle comb or wide-tooth comb
• Scissors
• Wig cap
• Hair clips
• Adhesive (for lace front wigs)
• Alcohol wipes (for cleaning the hairline)
• Blow dryer (optional)

Step 1: Prepare Your Natural Hair

1. Clean and Condition: Wash and condition your hair to ensure it’s clean and free of oils and residue. This will help the wig adhere better and look more natural.
2. Braiding: Braid your hair into cornrows. This helps create a flat surface for the wig to sit on. If your hair is short, you can slick it back with gel or hairspray.

Step 2: Put on the Wig Cap

1. Wear the Cap: Put on the wig cap, ensuring it covers all your hair. Tuck in any loose strands.
2. Secure the Cap: Use bobby pins or clips to secure the wig cap, especially around the edges, to keep it from slipping.

Step 3: Prepare the Wig

1. Adjust the Wig: If necessary, adjust the straps inside the wig to fit your head snugly. This helps keep the wig in place.
2. Trim the Lace: If you have a lace front wig, carefully trim the lace along the hairline, leaving about a quarter inch of lace.

Step 4: Clean Your Hairline

1. Clean with Alcohol Wipes: Use alcohol wipes to clean your hairline and remove any oils or makeup. This ensures the adhesive sticks better.

Step 5: Apply Adhesive

1. Apply Glue or Tape: Apply a thin layer of adhesive along your hairline. If using glue, let it become tacky before applying the wig.
2. Blow Dry: You can use a blow dryer on a cool setting to speed up the drying process.

Step 6: Install the Wig

1. Position the Wig: Place the wig on your head, starting at the front. Align the wig’s lace with your natural hairline.
2. Press and Secure: Gently press the lace into the adhesive, starting from the center and working your way outwards. Use a comb to press down the edges for a secure fit.

Step 7: Style the Wig

1. Comb and Style: Use a needle comb or wide-tooth comb to style the wig as desired. You can straighten, curl, or style the wig to your preference.
2. Blend: If needed, use makeup or concealer to blend the lace with your skin tone for a more natural look.

Tips for Maintenance

• Avoid Heat Damage: When styling with heat tools, use a heat protectant spray to prevent damage to the wig fibers.
• Regular Cleaning: Wash your wig regularly with a gentle shampoo and conditioner designed for synthetic or human hair wigs.
• Storage: Store your wig on a wig stand to maintain its shape and prevent tangling.

By following these steps, you can achieve a flawless and natural look with your 613 wig. Enjoy the versatility and confidence that comes with wearing a beautiful wig!
