How to Put On and Wear a Glueless Wig

At Amber Jean, our glueless cap constructions are by far the most popular wigs we offer — and for good reason. They suit everyone, require no glue or tape, and are super easy to wear. You can literally put them on and go.

For those who are completely hair-free like me, glueless wigs are incredibly simple to apply. The first thing you need is our velvet grip band, which is designed to hold your wig in place while also protecting your scalp. Made from soft velvet with a silicone lining, this band provides grip and comfort, acting as a barrier if your scalp is sensitive or irritated.

To get started, make sure the lace of the wig lines up with your chosen parting. The parting on the wig should match the natural placement you want for your hairline. For example, if your wig has a center parting, align the lace at the front with the center. Always ensure the silicone of the velvet band is facing up, never down. Then pop the wig over your head, attaching the Velcro behind the nape of your neck. Adjust the straps in the back if needed to ensure a snug and natural fit.

There are two main ways to put on a glueless wig. One way is to slide the wig from behind, pulling it forward and adjusting until the hairline sits naturally. The other way is to hold the piece by the nape, tilt your head into the wig, and then pull it back into position. Either method works, as long as the hairline aligns perfectly with the velvet band for a natural look.

Taking the wig off is just as easy. You can remove it from the front or from behind by gently grabbing the nape and sliding it off.

While glueless wigs are designed to stay in place without adhesives, some people like the extra security that tape can provide, especially for high-intensity activities such as dancing, theme parks, or workouts. You can add a small amount of double-sided tape at the ear tab area, or tape all the way around if that feels more comfortable. This allows you to customise your wig for maximum security while still enjoying the flexibility of a glueless piece.

With the right placement and care, your Amber Jean glueless wig will look natural, feel secure, and give you the confidence to wear it anywhere — no glue required.
