Wig grips provide an efficient and safe means for those wishing to avoid the damage of hair glues. Specifically designed to hold tight on natural hair and skin on one side and lace wig on the other, these bands grip your natural locks from one end while supporting their stability on both.
Quality Wigs and Wig Clips
Quality wigs feature secure attachments sewn directly into their construction for optimal comfort and fit, but wig clips may provide an ideal alternative.
Velvet
Velvet is a luxurious fabric that feels great against skin and hair, while providing support for hairpieces such as wigs, scarves, hats, beanies, etc. Available in multiple colors to seamlessly match bio hair or your wig and adjustable for the perfect custom fit!
One alternative is an elastic back wig grip band, which eliminates bulky Velcro straps at the nape of the neck and is less visible under a wig. This may be a better choice for people who have sensitive scalps due to chemotherapy treatments, or who wish to minimize direct metal contact with their scalps.
This method is also ideal for those who prefer taking off their wig during the day without it sliding or sliding off their forehead, without being afraid of it slipping back up again. Simply use a gentle body adhesive that washes off easily with water; this is especially important if your bio hair may be susceptible to harsher adhesives found in wig tape and other grip products.
Velcro
Wig grip bands are one of the easiest and most secure methods of wearing a wig or hair topper securely, offering easy application and excellent slip prevention. Plus, they make an ideal alternative to tape!
Before using a wig grip band, ensure your forehead and skin around it is clean of makeup, oil or dirt. Lightly rub the velvet material inside of the band against your head to identify which side slips off while which holds tight.
Some wig grip bands feature an elastic back for extra comfort, making this option suitable for those wanting less bulk at their nape of their neck. Other choices include clear cord that provides greater breathability and flexibility as well as combs or clips which give more control over where to place their wig/hair topper but may irritate their scalp or tug on natural hair.
Elastic
Wig grip bands are one of the easiest, simplest, and most accessible ways to secure a wig. These headbands with velvet on both sides can grip hair, skin, or wig cap from one side and natural hairline from the other side – fasten it at the nape of the neck then tuck behind ears – perfect for relieving tension headaches! This method can even redistribute weight evenly across your wig to ease tension headaches!
To use this technique, it’s first essential that your forehead and skin near your hairline is free of makeup, oil, or dirt. Next, using an inexpensive or old makeup brush, apply a thin layer of wig glue evenly across the surface of your forehead with an inexpensive or old makeup brush and allow to dry before applying lace tape along a line and fastening wig with pins or comb.
Clear Cord
Wig grip bands offer one of the easiest and most secure methods of keeping hairpieces secure all day, yet another tried-and-true method is wearing them under any type of wig style. Similar to headbands, these lightweight yet breathable grippers use velvet on both sides for maximum grip on natural hair or skin while simultaneously holding onto any piece. They can even be hidden under most styles without risking heat trapping!
Add extra security to your wig with adhesive or tape wig grips; we suggest trying It Stays for gentle body adhesive that washes off with water without harming hair or wig. Useful on top of a standard wig grip or for use around ears tabs, hairlines, or nape areas for extra security.
