Hi everyone! CALLING ALL FLAT HEADS! LOL

Sharing my best wig tips with you Guys!
This is my favourite way of securing my wigs I wear the most of!
My occipital bone / nape is very flat, so standard wig grips tend to rise up at the back.
If this sounds like you, I'll going to love this!

Thanks for showing there is a specific way to wear the velvet grip. I always wondered why sometimes it felt like it was pulling my hair and other times it's like it didn't exist.

Great tutorial. You are the first to address a "flat" head. I too have this problem and will most certainly try your suggestions. God Bless.

I have a flat occipital bone too. Thank you for these tips as I have been struggling with my wig riding up on my head, due to the grip not staying in place.

This is brilliant. Not just the back of the head, which I also have that problem, but that the wigband is not adding layers behind the ears. I wear glasses, and I've been struggling with how much bulk is right behind my ears - the wigcap, the hair, the wigband, and the earpiece of the glasses, not to mention that I like to wear a headband just as a style. Yikes! I thinned out the hair behind there, which really helped, but to not have that double thickness of wigband back there will be great! I never thought of this. I'm so going to try it. Thanks!

Thank you for addressing an issue that is rarely addressed. Your tutorial is concise and easy to follow. Time to break out the sewing kit!

Wonderful tutorial Teresa! Thank you so much! If I might add an idea, if you placed scar silicone tape inside the cap where the part is first, you would have a complete part without any of the velvet showing through on top. I use this on all of my wigs with parts and it makes them look very realistic.

Thanks. I too have a flat head and can feel the wig rise up during the day. ❤❤❤❤

Thank you soooooo much for this video!!! I’ve always admired those with a rounded head. But I think I have more admiration for your fix for our flat occipitals. I’ve tried wigs on & off for years and gave up cuz I just couldn’t get them to stop riding up in the back. But I’m back in thankfully for finding your video! I will free pretty again soon 🫶😊

Oh My God. This hack has been transformative for me. Wouldn’t have had the courage to do it if I hadn’t seen you do it. And this morning I just picked up my wig and put it on. No messing about with wig caps or wig grips. Can’t wait to do this to my other wig now thank you sooooooo much xx
