Wearing Wigs On Rollercoasters: Top Tips

Just because you're wearing a wig doesn't mean you can't also enjoy roller coaster rides without the fear of your wig literally getting snatched half way through! Read on to find out how to make wearing wigs on rollercoasters a piece of cake.

Use A Reliable Attachment Method

The Wig Fix by The Renatural is a sustainable wig attachment method that's rollercoaster proof and will ensure your wig stays on even on the wildest of rides. A unique headband made from 100% medical grade silicone, The Wig Fix acts as a 'gripper' between your natural hair/scalp and your wig to keep it attached at all times and make sure your wig stays on all day long. Sound too good to be true? One of our favorite wig and extensions influencerย Janna Niki took The Wig Fix for a ride (literally!) and put it to the test.

For Added Security

If you're planning on braving some serious rollercoasters or you'd like a little bit of extra peaceย of mind, you can always use headbands and/or bobby pins to makeย your wig stay on during a rollercoaster ride alongside your Wig Fix.

Jersey headbands are especially great for this as they offer additional stretch and cover the entire circumference of the head whilst remaining comfortable. Wearing an option like ASOS' Wide Jersey Headband In Black and PLT's 2 Pack Basic Headband are super affordable headbands great for wearing with a wig. Use some bobby pins to clip them to your wig and even the cap underneath (we'd recommend at the back and sides) and you're good to go!ย

What About Glue?

Okay, so your first thought might have been to use glue to make sure your wig stays rollercoaster proof and while glue might help your wig do just that, the longterm effects it can has on your wig and your natural hair aren't worth the short term satisfaction. Prolonged use of wig glues and in particular the incorrect removal of them can lead to increased dryness, damaged follicles and in some cases even hair loss! This is why we prefer using The Wig Fix on a day-to-day basis and only reinforcing it with gentler attachment methods like bobby pins when needed for more strenuous activities like rollercoaster rides.ย

Hi!
Youre so pretty!
Thank you so much for the great information!

Iโ€™ve been wearing wigs and extensions for about 25yrs (before most white girls were wearing them ๐Ÿ˜†

About 10 years ago my boyfriend and I went to Florida and decided to go race go karts. The place was PACKED. My car was faster for some reason so Iโ€™d stop & taunt him. .He comes up behind me, hits the back of my car & my wig FLIES off.
. (Did I mention the place was PACKED?!

In a car
accident, twice
,
*Yankee stadium, on a really windy day.

*Middle of a dance floor while my cousin was trying to help me pin it. and
*on a 1st date.

Iโ€™ve learned since then from people like you.. Your article was really very helpful!

Thank you, Stay safe!
Jodi.

Before you start

What you need

Get this right
from the start

Most fit problems trace back to how the measurement was taken, not the number itself.

A soft fabric measuring tape โ€” metal tapes give inaccurate readings.
With or without wig cap? If you plan to wear one, measure with it on.
Snug, not tight. The tape should sit firmly but not indent your skin.
A mirror or a friend. A second set of hands improves accuracy.
Circumference

Step 01 · Primary measurement

The anchor

Circumference

Place the tape around your head at the hairline โ€” approximately ¼ inch above your eyebrows and ears. Bring it around the back at the base of your skull. Keep the tape parallel to the floor the entire way around.

Why it mattersThis is the primary anchor. When you're between sizes, circumference is always the tiebreaker.
Common mistakeTipping the tape up at the back. Keep it level all the way around.
Enter your circumference
inches

This number takes precedence

Front to Nape

Step 02 · Secondary measurement

Nape comfort

Front to Nape

Start at your natural hairline at the center of your forehead. Run the tape back over the crown to the nape of your neck where your hairline ends. Let the tape follow the curve of your head.

Why it mattersDetermines nape comfort over a full day. If slightly short, you'll feel it by afternoon.
Common mistakeStarting from the scalp instead of the hairline. Always begin at the hairline.
Enter your front to nape
inches

Affects nape comfort over long wear

Ear to Ear

Step 03 · Secondary measurement

Front stability

Ear to Ear

Begin at the top of one ear where it starts to curve. Bring the tape up and over the crown to the same point on the opposite ear. The tape runs across the top of your head, not around it.

Why it mattersControls whether the front stays in place. If too small, the wig will gradually ride back over the course of the day.
Common mistakeStarting at the earlobe instead of the top curve. This adds length unnecessarily.
Enter your ear to ear
inches

Determines front stability and placement

Your recommended cap

โ€”

Retake measurements

Understanding your size

Your cap has a range

The adjustable back strap gives you roughly half an inch of flexibility in each direction.
If you're between sizes, sizing up always works โ€” a slightly larger cap adjusted with the strap fits better than a slightly small one.
A full day of wear tells you more than 10 minutes. Nape comfort reveals itself over hours.

On comfort and security

A well-fitting wig should feel comfortable โ€” not tight, not grippy.

"Comfortable is correct.
Tight is not security."
