Tie each section up loosely with a hair tie.
You’re going to be wrapping the braids around your head, and loose braids will make this process easier. If you braid it too tightly, it may create lumps under the wig.
Try to keep the braid as close to your head as possible. If you have 4 braids, start with one of the back braids first.
Don’t overlap braids, as that will create lumps. If you have 4 braids, wrap the other braids around your hair where they will fit and pin them in place. You can also use hair pins instead of bobby pins, which may help if you are having trouble getting your hair to stay in place, as they are a bit larger than bobby pins.
You only need to add the next little bit of hair, maybe 0. 5 in (1. 3 cm) or so.
Use as small a hair tie as possible so it won’t create lumps.
If your braid tails are especially thick, you can pin them up individually.

In other words, you’re going to close off the back hole by pulling it out like a sock or a stocking cap and attaching the end to the top of your head.
If you want, you can use double-sided fashion tape to secure the edge of the wig. If you’re planning on wearing a wig long-term, you can glue it on. However, if you’ve never done it before, you should have a professional show you how, as you don’t want to get the glue in your own hair. Also, ask the stylist for product recommendations to ensure you choose the right type of adhesive. [21] X Research source
