PART ONE: PROBLEM SOLUTIONS

Problem: Wig Slipping or Shifting

Cause: Loose straps, wrong size, or improper fit

Solution: Tighten back straps. If still slipping, wig might be too big (size down) or you need a wig grip band.

Problem: Itching or Discomfort

Cause: Glue buildup, dirty wig, or scalp sensitivity

Solution: Remove wig, wash scalp, deep condition. Consider switching to hypoallergenic glue.

Problem: Hairline Looks Thick or Unnatural

Solution: Pluck more hairs from front edge. Bleach lace to match skin tone exactly.

Problem: Frizz or Flyaways

Cause: Dryness or humidity

Solution: Deep condition. Use anti-frizz serum. Apply edge control. Use lightweight hairspray.

Problem: Extreme Tangling

Cause: Poor quality hair, dryness, or rough handling

Solution: Deep condition for 30+ minutes. Gently detangle. If persistent, consider upgrading to better-quality hair.
