Wig Tools and their Essentials
1.
Wig Stand or Mannequin Head. Used for storing, styling, or drying wigs. Keeps
the wig shape intact.
2.
Wig Cap. Worn under the wig to flatten natural hair and create a smooth base. Comes
in mesh, nylon, or silicone.
3. T-pins and Wig Clips. Secure the wig to a
mannequin head for styling. Wig clips can also be sewn into wigs for better
hold.
4. Comb and Brushes. Wide-tooth combs for
detangling.
Wig
brushes (usually looped bristles) to avoid damaging fibers.

bangs, or layers.
Precision
is key for natural-looking styles.
6. Wig Glue / Gel / Tape. Used for securing
lace front wigs or full lace wigs.
Options

lace to the scalp color for a more natural look.
8. Wig Spray or Detangler. Keeps synthetic or
human hair wigs smooth and frizz-free.
9. Heat Tools (if wig is heat-friendly). Curling
irons, straighteners, or hot combs for styling. Always check the wig’s heat
resistance.
