hi everyone,

I got a wig recently on sale and it's really nice. Its got a stretch cap which is great but now im noticing its a little snug and moves back, exposing my hairline. I cant return it because I got it on sale, and I just recently cut it. is there a way I can stretch out the cap???

either put it on wet, or put it on with your own hair wet and wear it awhile. don't wear a sheitel with wet hair often though...it's not fabulous for your scalp

you can go back to where you bought it and have them fix the fit

You wash the wig then you stretch the cap on the wig head. You take sheitel pins and pin it down stretched out and let it dry. It will be much bigger when you put it on.

Thanks ladies for your advice.
Ok, I'm going to try putting it on wet. I never heard of that stretching out the cap but it it helps then I'll do it!
Another thing Im realizing is that the ear flaps dont come all the way down to the top of my ears. Confused

I do have side clips but even with those, the wig slips back a lot. Sad

If Im not able to stretch out the cap, then I am just going to re-sell it since I cant return it since it was on sale. It really is a beautiful wig but I didnt realize about the size until I started to wear it.
