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.
- 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.
- 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.

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?
I too would love a hack for tichels!
I also use it for my snoods!! They’re the best!
Can someone please clarify: What material does the upper side that meets the wig/tichel need to be.
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
Great idea. Will try.
