Will a Wig Stay Secure? What I Learned as a New Wig Wearer

As a new wig wearer, my biggest concern wasn’t how a wig looked—it was whether it would stay secure. This is what I learned through real wear, practice, and patience.
As a new wig wearer, one of the biggest concerns I had was whether a wig would actually stay secure on my head. I have a flat occipital bone, and I genuinely thought I would never be able to wear wigs. Well—I was definitely wrong. And while there is a steep learning curve, I can assure you that together we can figure out the best way for you to get that wig secured and ready to wear.
Today, we’re going to look at Amelia from the Raregen BioLace Collection. This wig is, hands down, my current favorite in its price range. The color work is beautiful. The hair quality is beautiful. And the piece you see on my head right now has been washed and heat-styled more times than I can count. I’ve worn her hiking. I’ve worn her exploring new cities. She has been a fantastic companion. And I think she’s a great one to feature because after all that wear and tear, she still looks fantastic.
Okay—let’s get into how to secure the wig.
When you first take your wig out of the box, it typically looks something like this: the clips on the ear tabs are closed, and the adjusters are set to the middle position. You can leave them like this until we get the right fit.
Now, security can come from either a wig grip or a cap. Some women like a cap—it looks like this. It goes over your head. You try to spread your hair out a bit, and it gives the clips something to grab onto while creating a nice, smooth surface.
I personally prefer a wig grip—and Raregen includes one with every order. I love that it has Velcro because it adds extra security. I simply place it underneath that little bun at the nape of my neck. The wide band gives the wig plenty to grip onto.
Check the sizing, then flip the wig over. We want to make sure we position it using the ear tabs, about four fingers back from the eyebrows—that’s a generally good guideline. Turn your head side to side and make sure the wig feels secure. If it doesn’t, you can move the adjusters in. And if it feels a little too tight, you can move them out.
At this point, it’s going to look totally natural—especially once you add some styling that feels really like you—and then you’re good to go.
And remember: wearing a wig takes time, practice, and patience before it truly feels like a second skin. But I promise you, in time, it will. We’re not looking for perfection—we’re looking for something that can help us feel like ourselves again. And for me, this piece absolutely does that.
