Now is the time to style and personalize your look. Some tips to make your braided wig unique:

• Adjust the part

If your wig has a fixed part, you can change its position to suit your preferences. Gently separate the ends and use good tooth comb to create new parts. If your wigs are full lace wigs, braid your hair into a cornrow or wrap it around your head, making sure your hair is as flat as more possible. If you have long hair, tie it into low ponytails or buns to keep it in place.

• Gain access

Add hair accessories such as cuffs, beads or scrunchies to your braids for a stylish look and unique. You can also use colorful ribbons or scarves to highlight your braids.

Gather the top of your braids and secure them with a hair tie or clip, leaving the rest of your braids down. This would make for a fun and versatile half-up, half-down style.

Braided wigs are perfect for creating different updo styles, such as buns, chignons, and ponytails. Use bobby pins, hair ties and good accessories to create your desired look.

Clean your hair with mild shampoo, then uses moisturizing conditioner. This procedure will help keep the hair under the wig more healthy and hydrated.

When not in use, place your wig on a wig stand or mannequin head to maintain its shape and prevent tangling.
