What is a Wig Grip?

October 9, 2024

Attaching a wig properly can be time-consuming, messy, and stressful. Although human hair wigs can be connected using adhesives such as wig tape or bobby pins and clips, they require you to be either completely bald or to have a full head of hair, respectively. A growing number of women with thinning hair are opting to wear wigs instead of hair toppers and/or extensions. Unlike wigs, toppers and extensions generally require a lot of blending and a very uncomfortable means of attachment. A pain-free way to attach full human hair wigs is a wig grip.

A wig grip is a velvet band that has just the right amount of “tack” to grip the material of the inside of your wig, securing it comfortably to your head. For the past 27 years, Paula’s Wig Boutique has been the best wig store in Toronto and has developed a wig grip that is suitable to be worn by women with all stages of hair loss. It can be used on full-lace wigs as well as skin-top wigs. To accommodate particularly women with full hair loss, the best wig grips for human hair wigs will have a thin piece of silicone on the inside to alleviate the need for adhesives. Wig grips come in several designs and profiles. A competent wig store will have several designs to best suit you. As the best wig store in Toronto, Paula’s Wig Boutique has developed 4 different styles of wig grips to provide suitable security for clients seeking an easy, comfortable way to attach their human hair wigs.
