How Do I Stop My Wig from Slipping Back?

Do you always feel like your wig is slipping back? Or, you don’t like wearing bangs wigs because the bangs don’t stay in the middle of your forehead?

Yes yes, I know the solution is a wig grip. We mentioned the wig grip in this post about 4 wig hacks. But I’m super sensory and the wig grip was adding to my discomfort. In addition, there were 2 things I didn’t like about the wig grip. 

  1. It added slight bulk to the sides of my wig, especially more noticeable in my bang wig when the sides were flat against my head. 
  2. The second problem was that I had 2 wig grips and I felt like I could use 10 of them. 

While in Israel, I saw that Ita wigs was selling a small piece of “velcro” that helps your wig stay in place. Since then, I heard that Dini’s Wigs sells one too. Here is your own DIY for pennies. 

Head to your local trimming/sewing store. Buy a piece of velcro. You can buy black or skin color. Doesn’t make a difference. You only need the rough side called hooks. Buy a half a yard, or a yard and cut into 3-inch pieces.

How does it work: Slide the velcro hooks onto your hair. Wear your wig. No need to use the front comb, just use the 2 side combs. The velcro creates some friction and keeps your wig in place. If you give it a good yank, obviously it won’t stay, but with regular day to day movement, the wig won’t move.

To remove without pulling out hair, you need to slide the velcro back, down all your hair.
* The model we used is single and doesn’t cover her hair yet.

    You don’t attach the velcro to the wig at all? Isn’t the reverse side of the velcro slightly plasticky, wouldn’t the wig just slide? Thanks

    I imagine this doesn’t work for shabbos? The Velcro would pull all of my hair out…

    I’ve been using this for years and never found any hair being pulled out. It’s the best!

    Great idea, going to try it. Reminds of the Velcro strips my brothers used to use to hold their kippahs in place. Going to try it for my tichels too, or is there another trick for that?

    Before I got married (2.5 years ago), my sheitel macher sewed a wig band into each of my wigs. No need to put on the band AND the sheitel every time. I recommend this method to everyone!

    My wig always slipped back even with the wig grip- what I do now is hairspray my hair before putting on the wig grip. It doesn’t budge no matter what. No clips necessary

    What size should the velcro be? 3 inches long by what width?

    Please note: Because the velcro is resting on your hair and is not sewn into the wig or is not attached like a band, it might be CARRYING on Shabbos.

      Why carrying? How is it different than the wig grip? Both are resting on the hair and are hair accessories. Could you please ask your LOR?

    I love the hairspray and also hairspray the top of the band before putting on the wig. i find this is needed with a pony that has weight of the pony pulling it back. i have no clips in mine and its super comfortable and like glued to your head!!

    Does this work for lace top wigs or do you see the velcro through the lace?
