Every girl deserves a space that feels like her own — a place where secrets are shared, confidence is built, and femininity is celebrated in all its beautiful forms. That’s why we created The Powder Room: your cozy corner of The Breast Form Store dedicated to answering questions, offering tips, and sharing wisdom from girls who’ve been exactly where you are today.
Whether you’re slipping into your very first bra, exploring the perfect breast forms for your shape, or simply curious about how to refine your look, this is where transformation feels natural — and sisterhood feels real.
And since no transformation feels complete without the right hair to frame your face, let’s begin with a wonderful question from one of our readers:
“What is the best way to keep a wig in place? I have a larger head and no ‘bump’ in back. Thank you.”

I don’t know if it’s the best way but it works like a charm for me at least.
Get yourself a silicone headband for wigs, double sided wig tape and Got2bglued hairspray.
Put the headband on, cut a few pieces of tape and stick them just a couple of millimeters from edge of the temples and forehead of the wig.
Put the wig on, adjust it to your liking, peel off the protection of the tape and press down on the edges of the wig so it sticks into place.
Now apply the hairspray to the edges of the wig a little bit at a time, blow on it with a hairdryer (without heat turned on) and press down on the edges with the back of a hairbrush, a comb, a chopstick or anything that’s sufficiently thin and work your way around. Pay extra attention to the temples, that’s usually where the wig will come loose.
Done!
The “glue” can be easily removed from the wig when you take it off with a little bit of water and a toothbrush and it’s as good as new again for your next adventure.

Typically I would just use a cap and the wig, it usually stays pretty secure. On longer wear options, I would add wig glue to my forehead and then use a headband to keep it in place for 10-15 minutes while it dries.

I don’t have a particularly large head. But when I need to keep my wig in place I use either prosthetic glue, or you can find double-sided, wig tape. Of course, this is for lace front wigs, and it only secures the wig to your forehead and temples. Another option I have seen but haven’t tried yet is using Got2bglued hair styling product. I’ve seen a lot of drag Queens use it.

Honestly, it depends on the wig! Some have straps built in to tighten the circumference and make it better fit different head sizes. Some also come with clips built into the wig cap to attach to your hair underneath. Wearing a seperate wig cap can help, and you can use skin safe glue to adhere the wig to your head. In my experience I have never needed to use glue, I wear a cap, tape it down to stop it riding up, and then wig on top, and that has worked for all weathers, including windy days!

The very first thing I say to every wig wearer: wear a wig cap liner! Not only is it great for comfort (no itchy wefts on your scalp), but it also creates a nice, even surface for your wig to rest on so it sits smoothly and stays put. Once your cap liner is on, adjust those little straps inside the wig until it feels snug but not tight. It’s amazing how much better a wig behaves once the straps are just right!
For extra security, bobby pins are your best girlfriends. You can use these to secure the wig liner better to your natural hair, or to secure the wig to the liner itself. And if you’re rocking a lace front wig, a bit of wig tape along the hairline will give you that confident, all-day hold (but I don’t recommend this if it isn’t a lace front!)
Finally, make sure you’ve got the right wig cap size. If you have a larger head, look for wigs with full stretch or a pure stretch cap — they’re much more forgiving, since they stretch more than just around the perimeter of the wig. If you’re on the larger size of the recommended measurements for a wig, avoid full monofilament tops (they’re beautiful but not as flexible) and stick to monofilament parts only instead.
No matter your head size, hairline, or experience level, the right tools and a little know-how can make your wig feel secure, natural, and effortless. Remember — every girl’s journey is unique, and finding what works best for you is part of the fun of transformation.
