How do I hide my long hair under a short wig?

I am going to be the Wicked Witch of the West for Halloween. I want the costume to look as much like Margaret Hamilton's character in the 1939 movie as is possible, so I will be wearing a short black wig. My own hair is quite long (mid-back) and about medium thickness so I'm not sure how to hide my hair under the short wig. Any tips?How do I hide my long hair under a short wig?
What you'll need:





鈥omb


鈥 package of bobbypins and/or hairpins


鈥ig cap (available from wig stores, or make your own out of the foot part of pantyhose)


鈥ig


I use pin-curls or braids. The braids/pincurls provide a great anchor for pinning the wig to for extra security. The important thing with fitting lots of hair under a wig is to evenly distribute the hair around your entire head; if there's too much hair in one spot you'll not only have a weird-shaped head, but the weight of the hair will pull the wig out of position. Wig cap goes on top, then wig.





How to do pin-curls: Okay, first comb your hair to get out any tangles. When it's smooth, take a small section of hair at the front and twist it. Keep twisting until it coils up, then pin the coil close to the scalp with bobby pins. It works best if you use two pins, intersecting each other like an X. If you have REALLY long hair, you might have to make two coils with each piece of hair (sort of like an 'S'). Continue around your head this way, making little coils and securing them, until all your hair is up. Make sure the coils are evenly balanced (so you don't have more on one side). Once your hair is all pinned up, take the wig cap and slide it carefully over your hair. It should be snug enough not to move around once it's on, but not so snug that it gives you a headache. Now you put on the wig. If you have a lot of hair like me, the wig will fit pretty tightly, so it might take a bit of adjusting. The bobby pins act as anchors for the wig, so it doesn't move around at all once it's on. I did this with my Aisha wig, and it didn't budge even with that massive braid in the back. Just don't get an itch on your scalp!





Braids: You'll want to use more than one braid in order to avoid having a big lump in one spot on your head. Do 2 or more braids, coil them flat on your head so that they create as little bulk as possible (making sure they're spread around evenly), then pin them in place using hairpins, not bobbypins.

You need to pin your hair into pincurls close to your scalp. Cover with a wig cap. Pin your wig to the cap.





I have seen girls with extremely thick wavy long hair completely hide their hair under a wig using this method.
Put it in a bun and then a hair net
