How do I style a short wig?

Styling a short wig is relatively easy and depends on the look you want to achieve. Here are some steps to help you style it:

1. Start with Clean, Dry Hair: Ensure the wig is clean and dry before styling. For synthetic wigs, avoid heat styling unless it's heat-resistant. For human hair wigs, you can use heat tools like straighteners or curling irons.
   
   
2. Brush or Comb Gently: Use a wig brush or wide-tooth comb to remove any tangles. Be gentle to avoid damaging the fibers.
   
   
3. Add Volume (if desired): If you want extra volume, you can add a little dry shampoo or a wig-specific volumizing product. For human hair wigs, you can also use a blow dryer on a low heat setting, lifting at the roots with a round brush.
   
   
4. Use Styling Products: Light styling gel, mousse, or hairspray can help define the shape and texture of a short wig. Be careful not to overdo it; a little goes a long way.
   
   
5. Create Texture or Shape: Depending on the style of the short wig, you can use your fingers or a styling tool to add texture. For a more tousled look, gently scrunch the hair with your fingers. For a sleek, polished style, use a comb or flat iron.
   
   
6. Trim if Needed: If you're comfortable, you can trim the wig to adjust the length or shape. However, if you're unsure, it’s best to visit a professional who specializes in wigs.
   
7. Secure the Wig: Finally, make sure the wig is securely fitted to your head. Adjust the straps or use wig clips if needed.
