How to Make Your Braid Wig Look Natural: Secrets Revealed

Braid wigs are a lifesaver for anyone who loves the look of braids but doesn't want to spend hours in a salon chair. However, the key to pulling off a braid wig lies in making it look as natural as possible. In this post, we’ll reveal some insider secrets to help you transform your braid wig into a flawless, natural-looking masterpiece.

1. Choose the Right Wig

The foundation of a natural look starts with the wig itself. Look for wigs with:

• Kinky-textured roots: These mimic the texture of natural hair growing from your scalp.
• Undetectable lace: High-quality lace makes the hairline blend seamlessly with your skin. But with some lace tint mousse and foundation, you can blend just about any lace to match your skin tone

2. Prepare Your Natural Hair Properly

• Braid or slick back your natural hair: Ensure your hair lies flat under the wig to prevent any bulkiness.
• Match theblace to your skin: Make the wig cap color resemble your scalp to create the illusion of natural hair growth.

3. Customizing the Wig Hairline

• Cut the lace carefully: Trim excess lace close to the hairline without leaving just a very little margin for blending.

4. Blend the Lace with Your Skin

• Apply a lace tint spray or foundation that matches your skin tone to the lace.
• Use a small brush to dab the product onto the lace for an even blend.

5. Secure the Wig Correctly

• Use an elastic band or wig grip for a snug, glueless hold.
• If you prefer extra security, opt for adhesive sprays or gels designed for lace wigs.

6. Style the Edges (Baby Hairs)

• Create natural-looking baby hairs by gently pulling out small sections from the hairline.
• Use edge control or styling gel to swoop the baby hairs into place.

7. Parting Secrets

• Customize the parting:
• Apply a little foundation or concealer to the part for a seamless look.

8. Finishing Touches

• Use a silk or satin scarf to tie down the hairline for 10–15 minutes. This helps set the lace and baby hairs in place.
• Style the wig as desired, ensuring the hair flows naturally.
