A lack of or limited grip can have many causes.
The first thing you should do is measure your head and check the size of your wig. If the size is not right, change the model.
If the size is right, there are the following recommendations (usually a combination of several reasons):
- check the correct fit - usually the hairline is worn too low (a hand's width above the eyebrows)
- Wig is too tight - If the wig is riding up, it is often because the setting is too tight. Many people tighten the wig because it is slipping. However, this tightens the adjustment elastics and the wig slips even more. Contrary to initial intuition, please adjust the wig to a larger size.
- Incorrect placement of the wig with existing hair - The wig always moves as much as the surface. This means that the hair should be attached flat or tucked under a wig stocking or a silicone band. You can then place the wig correctly (see correct placement).
- Removing the wig shields helps somewhat to improve the hold.
If the combination of immediate measures is not sufficient, there are other options to improve the hold.
- Wig has movement in the neck - Sew silicone between the size adjustments. Also possible on the side or on the top of the head.
- Flat back of the head - If you have a flat back of the head, the wig may have a little more room to move at the back of the head. This is usually not visible and the wig stays in place. If it still bothers you, darts in the wig can help.
