If you have a human hair wig, you should pluck it to make the wig more suitable for you. Plucking your wig will help make your wig look more natural. Pluck your wig and make it tailor-made for your hairline. This is the best way to make your wig look as natural as possible. Once you take your wig home, one of the most important things is to pluck it. Plucking a wig is an art that needs practice, but anyone can do it. In this article, we will tell you how to pluck your human hair wig.

Steps To Pluck A Wig:

1. Prepare the tools

The tools you need to pluck a wig: A mannequin head, Hairpin, Tweezers, Rat Tail comb, Hair-cutting scissor, wide-tooth comb.

The first step in preparing to pluck your wig is to prepare some tools you need. These things are common at home. You can get them without any trouble. The only unusual thing is the head of a mannequin. If you don’t have, you can also use a wig stand instead, or you can buy one online. Their prices are very cheap.

2. Fix the lace wig on the mannequin head

When placing the wig on the mannequin head, make sure it is firmly installed on it. In order to provide higher safety, you can fix the wig on the head of the mannequin with a hairpin. Imagine that the mannequin head is your head. The front of the wig should be placed at the beginning of the hairline on your head, and the back of the wig should be placed at the back of your neck. Make sure the wig doesn’t slide when you pluck your wig, otherwise it may cause the hairline to deform.

3. Prepare Your Wig for Plucking

First comb your wig with a wide tooth comb, which will reduce the tangle of the wig and allow you to pluck your hair more smoothly. Then use the rat tail comb to pluck the hair of the hairline part you want on the wig. In this step, you can divide the hairline into small parts. The hair you pluck should hang down naturally, and the other hair should be clipped in the back to prevent them from running around.

4. Start to Pluck The Hairline

Start from the part of the hairline that you just separated and prepare to pluck your hair. Hold the tweezers with your dominant hand and turn them so that the shorter side of the tweezers is facing down. This side will not remove as much hair as the longer side. Grasp the hair near the root, do not grasp and tear the lace part. You can clip your hair with tweezers in any direction you like, but be gentle. The lace must not be damaged. Be sure to pluck all the hairs on the hanging part at one time. You do not finish plucking until there is no hair on this part. If you don’t know how to design a natural hairline, you can take a picture of your original hairline and then shape the hairline of your wig according to your own hairline.

5. Creating Baby Hair

After you pluck the wig, you can create some baby hair. Baby hair not only adds interest and style to your wig, but also helps to hide lace during the modeling process, making your wig look more natural.
