Many wigs come pre-plucked, but you can also pluck them yourself to achieve the look that best fits you. Plucking the hairline and the part area will create a more natural-looking wig when worn and integrate better with your scalp.
Why do I need to pluck my wig?
Many of our wigs come pre-plucked for optimal natural looks right out of the box, but if you want your wig to resemble its counterpart on its own, some additional plucking may be required. This extra step will give your wig the perfect baby hairs and create an undetectable hairline.
How do I pluck my wig?
If you own an unplucked wig, it must be plucked by hand before wearing it to create an authentic-looking hairline and part. Although this process may take time and patience, achieving maximum effect from your wig requires it.
What tools do I need to pluck my wig?
Many wig makers advise plucking your wig while resting on a mannequin or Styrofoam head to allow for better viewing of its natural hairline and avoid pulling too much out accidentally. Some individuals prefer plucking it directly onto their head – that is perfectly acceptable; ensure that when doing so, you use a comb to smooth back any uneven areas as soon as you finish plucking to prevent accidental bald spots or rough patches from developing.
How long should I wait to pluck my wig?
To pluck a wig, thoroughly comb through it to remove any knots or tangles, allowing easier plucking. It is recommended to work in small sections so as not to over-pluck. Once you have plucked the front of the wig, go over it again to ensure no areas have been missed. Take your time; rushing will only create an unnatural, sloppy appearance.
