Wigs are the quick and easy solutions to hours of a long wait at your favorite salon for a hair-do appointment. As they come in innumerable shapes and sizes, and colors, they are considered extremely versatile as well as fun. When people try to add a wig to their natural hairline, it may look a little odd and fake if both the hairlines do not match. People often wonder how to thin out a wig to make it merge with the natural hair and look like it’s your own. At times you can approach the salon to help you, or you can do it by yourself.

Items Requirement For Thinning The Wig At Home By Yourself?
You will need a pair of thinning scissors, also known as thinning shears or tweezers. They may look like regular scissors, but they have one notched blade.

The Step By Step Instruction To Do The Procedure At Home
1. Determine The Location
The first thing you have to do is place the wig on your head and take a rough measurement. You may have to use mirrors from all the sides to see where and how much thinning is required. It’s best if you have someone with you to help you at this stage. You will have to take a rough estimate and move to the next step.
2. Separate And Create A Partition
It is impossible to work on the entire wig at a time. You will have to mark a specific area, create a partition with the hairclips and start to work on a specific area. Like you have seen in salons, take the sharp tip of your comb and move it from front to back to create an exact partition. Secure both sides with the hairpins.
3. Prep The Hair
Once you get a section of the hair firm between the fingers, try to squeeze in the thinning scissors in that section. You will have to hold the thinning scissors very close to the root to get the maximum strand out. You will have to continue to hold the part of the hair and squeeze the scissors down.
4. Removal
Now is the fun part, you will have to comb through the portion of the hair that you have been holding in your hand to remove the extra hair strands. The comb will old hold a small quantity of hair that has been removed by thinning shears.5. Repeat
5. Repeat
Depending on how to think or think you wish to get the wig, start repeating the procedure 2-3 times. Every time you remove the stands, comb the wig thoroughly to understand the volume.
FAQs
We often come across a few very frequently asked questions about thinning out a wig.
1. What is the need to thin out a wig?

Expert Advice
Let’s keep in mind some of the expert tips on how to thin out a wig-

It’s imperative that you put the wig back on your head from time to time to see how the thinning is turning out to be.
When you get a blunt looking layer, you can twist it up and cut at an angle of 45 degrees.
Do not cut the hair very close to the root so that you do not end up with stubby hair sticking straight up.
