A half wig is a wig that only covers half of the head, usually the back or sides. It has many different names: half wigs, half head wigs, half and half wig,¾ wigs, or ½ wigs.

Pros:

Looks more natural since your real hairline is visible.

Breathable and lighter than full wigs.

It can help reduce heat damage if used as a protective style.

Cons:

Requires blending — may not work well if your hair texture is very different from the wig.

Not ideal for people with hair loss at the hairline.

Weather (humidity, rain) can make blending difficult if your natural hair reacts.

How To Install A Half Wig?

Step 1

  • To fit your half wig onto your head, you will need to pull your hair back into a ponytail. With a comb, create a parting from ear to ear, about one or two inches away from the hairline, leaving wisps of your natural hair out at the front of your face.

Step 2

  • Now it’s time to grab your half wig and place the front flexible comb section at the top of your head where you have just made your parting, you will then need to slide the comb downwards as firmly as you can against the scalp.
  • For added security, you can also use the flexible comb section at the bottom of the wig and slide this upwards along the nape of your neck. It may take a couple of times to get a comfortable and secure fit so don’t worry if you haven’t mastered it on your first go!

Step 3

  • Now all that’s left to do is disguise the seam and you’re ready to flaunt your fabulous style! You can either accessorize with a headband or comb and blend the half and half wig with your natural hair. This is the fun part as you have even more hair to experiment with until you find the style that looks gorgeous on you.

FAQ About Half Wig

1)Can you wear a half wig as a full wig?

Not ideally. Half wigs are designed to blend with your natural hairline and typically start behind your hairline, so wearing it as a full wig would look unnatural unless styled with a scarf or headband.

2)Can you sew in a half wig?

Yes, but it’s uncommon. Half wigs are usually designed for temporary wear with combs and adjustable bands. However, skilled stylists can sew them in for more secure wear, though it may require customization.

3)Do half wigs damage your hair?

Not if worn and removed properly. To avoid damage, don’t wear too tightly. Avoid pulling or tugging on your leave-out hair. Moisturize your natural hair and use a wig cap if needed.

4)Can I sleep in a half wig?

Not recommended. It can cause tangling, matting, and put stress on your natural hair. Remove it before bed or wear a silk/satin scarf if necessary for short naps.
