Whether you’re on the fence about choosing between synthetic and human hair wigs, struggling with cap fit, or feeling unsure about styling tips, this blog breaks down 7 core tips tailored specifically for beginners. We’ll focus on practical, easy-to-follow steps, and with the beginner-friendly designs recommended by TikTok influencer Simply Sharing Sunshine—taking Glamvigor wigs as an example—you’ll be able to create a natural, confident look in no time!

1. Choosing the Right Wig Company

When you’re just starting your wig journey, the first crucial decision to make is: do you want a synthetic wig or a human hair wig? For beginners, synthetic wigs are almost always the better starting point—and here’s why. Not only are they significantly more budget-friendly (often a fraction of the cost of human hair wigs), but they also require far less maintenance. Unlike human hair wigs, which need regular styling with heat tools, washing with specialized shampoos, and careful storage to retain their shape, synthetic wigs come pre-styled and hold their curl, wave, or straight texture effortlessly. This means less time spent learning to care for and style your wig, and more time enjoying the convenience of a ready-to-wear look—perfect for anyone still getting used to wearing wigs daily.​

While confidence is key to rocking any wig, let’s be honest: many beginners prefer a style that looks so natural, no one will guess it’s not their real hair. The make-or-break detail here? The hairline. A fake, rigid hairline can instantly give away a wig, but a soft, blended one makes all the difference. That’s where Glamvigor stands out among synthetic wig brands. Their wigs are designed with an incredibly realistic hairline—think fine, baby hairs that mimic natural growth, and a seamless transition from the wig cap to the hair. Whether you’re wearing it for everyday use or a special occasion, Glamvigor’s attention to detail ensures your wig looks authentic, so you can feel confident without worrying about others noticing.​

Beyond brand websites, there’s another great spot to find affordable, quality wigs: Facebook Buy/Sell/Trade Groups and Facebook Marketplace.

These communities are full of people who’ve bought wigs but might be selling them—maybe they tried a style that didn’t suit them, or they’re updating their collection, and the wigs are often still in like-new condition (many are even outside the return window, so sellers offer them at a steep discount). You’ll also find influencers here who offload their gently used wigs after reviewing them—this is a fantastic way to get high-quality styles at a fraction of the original price, perfect for beginners who want to experiment without overspending.

2.Helping You Choose the Right Wig Cap​

When it comes to open wefting caps, here’s a quick way to identify them: you can easily stick your finger through the wefted sections. At the top of the cap, the part space is relatively small—usually just enough for a neat, narrow part. This type of cap also has a slight stretch to it, which helps it fit more comfortably around the head without feeling too tight, making it a great pick for those who prioritize everyday wearability.​

In contrast, closed wefting caps don’t allow your finger to pass through the wefts—they have a solid, seamless construction. One of their key perks is a wider part space at the top, giving you more flexibility to style a natural-looking, broader part. However, the lace (or fabric) of closed wefting caps tends to have minimal stretch, so it’s important to check the size before buying to ensure a snug yet comfortable fit.​

As for partially hand-tied caps, they’re known for their limited stretch—this is because the hand-tied sections are designed for durability and a realistic hair growth appearance. The biggest advantage of this cap type is its large part space: you can create wider parts or even adjust the part position slightly, letting you experiment with different hairstyles while still enjoying the natural look of hand-tied hair.​

If you have a small head, sizing can be tricky. If you opt for a standard-size wig (instead of a petite or smaller size), you’ll likely end up with bunching at the back of your head—this not only looks unflattering but also feels uncomfortable after wearing it for a while.​

This is where Glamvigor’s synthetic wigs truly shine. They solve the small-head sizing issue brilliantly: you’ll rarely experience bunching at the back, so the wig sits smoothly and looks completely natural, no awkward bulges included. Even though Glamvigor’s wigs are labeled as “Average size,” they’re designed to fit 95% of head circumferences. All you need to do is adjust the straps at the back a little—tighten or loosen them slightly—and you’ll get a comfortable, secure fit that stays in place all day.​

3. Newbie-Friendly Wig Lace Trimming

New to wigs and worried about cutting the lace crookedly or ruining it? Don’t fret! Trimming wig lace is easy—you’ll master it after reading this.​

Tool Selection​

No need for professional tools! Common household scissors work: hair-cutting scissors (sharp, no hair snags), regular household scissors (wipe clean first), or small eyebrow scissors (loved by bloggers for precision). Choose what feels comfortable and easy to control.​

Step 1: Rough Cut (Set the Range)​

If your hairline is long, wear the wig, find your real hairline, and cut excess lace close to it in one go. Don’t stress over a few accidentally cut wig strands—they won’t affect the look. Hesitation causes mistakes!​

Step 2: Refine Cut (Fit Your Contour)​

Re-wear the wig tightly. Wigs have neat straight hairlines, but most people’s hairlines aren’t straight (they may have baby hairs, narrower temples, or a mid-forehead curve). Trim along your real hairline (cut excess where needed) for a perfect skull fit—natural-looking up close or from far.

Glamvigor wigs already have an incredibly natural hairline right out of the box. Pair that with this simple trimming method, and no one will ever guess you’re wearing a wig.It’ll look like it’s growing straight from your own scalp!

4. Relax Curls on Heat-Friendly Synthetic Wigs

A great tip to make your new wig look more natural and tailored to you is to style it yourself with a curling iron—for instance, relaxing its curls!​

Glamvigor’s synthetic wigs allow you to curl or straighten them freely. Featuring heat-friendly synthetic fibers: simply heat them up, let them cool into your desired shape, and they’ll hold that style. Even after you straighten the wig and wash it later, it will stay straight until you add new waves to it.​

As an example: If the hair pieces on both sides of the wig feel too straight for your liking, grab your flat iron and work with the hair downward (hold the iron to guide the hair in a downward direction as you style). Want to skip tight, rigid curls? Just glide the flat iron through the hair at a steady, quick pace—this keeps the curl loose and natural, perfect for softening up the sides!

To help these styled pieces hold their shape better, you can also use a blow dryer to lightly heat them.

5. New Wig Top Looking Flat? Here’s How to Add Lift!

If you’re new to wearing wigs, you’ve probably run into that annoying issue where the hair on top lies flat against your scalp, and the strands on either side of your part start to slump forward—totally ruining your whole look. But don’t stress, we’ve got a simple hack that works especially if you own a heat-friendly synthetic wig from Glamvigor.With just a little heat, you can get those strands to stay exactly where you want them.

Grab your hairdryer and switch it to warm heat (not scorching hot—remember, synthetic fibers need gentle care!).

1. Hold the wig upside down (just like we demoed in the video!) and aim the hairdryer at the inside of the cap—this blows air directly under the fibers, lifting them away from the cap so they don’t lie flat.
2. Once you’ve given the inside a quick blast, pop the wig on your head. Take a second to check: are there any spots still looking a little limp?
3. If so, hit those areas with a bit more warm heat from the hairdryer. Focus on the roots near the part—this locks in the lift. Keep styling until you get that bouncy, lifted look you love.

It’s that easy! This trick works every time for Glamvigor’s heat-friendly wigs, and it’s perfect for newbies who want to tweak their wig’s shape without complicated tools. No more slouchy side strands—just a natural, put-together style in minutes.

6. How to fix flyaways & frizz with wig wax?

Just unboxed your new wig but noticed those annoying flyaways and a touch of frizz? Don’t stress—wig wax is your quick, easy fix, and it’s totally beginner-friendly too!

First, pick a wig wax that fits your vibe: opt for a scented one if you love a subtle, fresh fragrance, or go unscented if you prefer a more low-key approach (perfect for sensitive noses!).

Here’s how to use it like a pro, even if you’re new to wigs: Start by warming a small amount of wax between your palms—this softens it so it glides through the hair without clumping. Then, gently run your hands through the wig, focusing on the areas with flyaways (think the hairline or the top layers). Want to add a little extra shape? You can even twist small sections to revive soft curls or waves while you’re at it—two wins in one!

Let’s be real: For wig newbies, those “wild hairs” can be a hassle. They pop up out of nowhere, fall right into your face, or just refuse to stay put. But a dab of wig wax changes the game—it smooths frizz, tames unruly strands, and keeps everything looking neat and polished all day. No fancy skills required—just a little wax and a minute of your time!

7.How to adjust the part to cover wefts for a natural look?

If a small section of the wig's weft becomes visible, here's a simple fix for a more natural look: First, leave a thin, soft layer of the wig's hair loose over the area—this will naturally conceal the weft.

For longer-lasting hold, gently apply low heat (such as with a blow dryer) to these loose strands. The heat will help set the hair in place, ensuring it stays draped over the weft and maintains that seamless, natural appearance throughout the day. The wig featured in the video is the GLP041 synthetic wig from Glamvigor, which allows you to style it freely as you like.
