The 4 steps to follow to create baby hair on a wig
Draw a line around the wig
Take a rod comb and draw a thin line all around your wig. If the hair in the front is very long, it is possible to cut it carefully, being careful to cut it in a gradient and not in a straight cut.
Cut the edges of the hair in layers
With sharp scissors, cut the edges of the hair in layers to give it a natural look. You can cut the hair in such a way as to create a shape that suits your face.
Apply styling gel
Apply a small amount of styling gel to baby hair using a rattail comb to hold hair in place. You can also use tweezers to help position the baby hairs.
Tie baby hair
Finally, tie the baby hair with a scarf to hold it in place and let it dry for a few minutes. You can also use a hair dryer on medium heat to dry them faster.
