How to Sew Combs in a Wig? Step by Step Guide

At Luvme Hair, we know that a secure wig fit is essential for both comfort and confidence. Sewing combs into a wig is one of the most practical ways to add extra hold, especially for daily wear or glueless styling. When placed correctly on the wig cap, combs can help reduce slipping without affecting the wig’s natural look. In this guide, our professionals will show you how to sew wig combs in properly, where to place them, and what to avoid.

Wig combs are small attachments sewn or fixed inside a wig cap to help keep the wig secure while wearing. They are designed to grip your natural hair gently and reduce slipping, making the wig feel more stable and comfortable. Wig combs are commonly used in lace wigs, glueless wigs, and everyday wear styles. 

At present, Luvme Hair also offers removable and attachable wig combs, giving customers more flexibility to install, remove, or adjust them based on personal comfort and styling needs.

Proper placement is key to making a wig feel secure and comfortable. In most cases, wig combs should be attached to the inside of the wig cap, rather than directly onto the lace. The exact position depends on the wig’s construction and the level of hold you want.

Place the wig on a mannequin head or wig stand and turn it inside out. This makes it easier to see the wig cap and work more accurately.

Choose where to place the combs based on the wig’s construction. Common areas include the sides, nape, and reinforced sections of the cap. Avoid sewing directly onto delicate lace.

Use strong thread in a color close to the wig cap. Thread the needle and tie a secure knot at the end.

Position the comb on the inside of the wig cap with the teeth facing inward. Stitch through each hole of the comb and the wig cap, keeping the stitches tight and even.

After sewing through all the holes, add a few extra stitches to make the comb more secure, especially if the wig is heavier.

Wig combs, wig bands, and glue each offer different benefits, so the better choice depends on your comfort, styling habits, and desired level of security. Wig combs are a practical option for adding extra hold inside the wig cap, while wig bands focus more on comfort and overall fit. Glue is often chosen when a stronger, more seamless hairline hold is needed.

• Wig combs: Good for extra security, easy daily wear, and glueless styling
• Wig bands: Better for a snug fit, comfort, and reduced tension on natural hair
• Glue: Best for a stronger hold and a more laid hairline appearance

Wig combs are a simple and effective way to make a wig feel more secure, stable, and comfortable for daily wear. When placed correctly and sewn onto the right areas of the wig cap, they can provide extra hold without affecting the wig’s natural appearance. For those who want more flexibility, Luvme Hair also offers removable and attachable combs, making it easier to customize the fit based on personal needs. Overall, wig combs remain a practical choice for anyone looking for added security in a wig.
