In this blog post, we’ll walk you step-by-step through how to install your flip over wig in under 10 minutes—yes, sis, it’s really that quick!
What is the Flip Over Method?
The flip over method is a glueless, beginner-friendly install technique where the wig is positioned slightly behind your natural hairline and styled in a way that gives a realistic part-less look. It’s ideal for curly or textured wigs but works with body wave and deep wave too.
What You’ll Need:
Headband wig (preferably deep wave or kinky curl)
Wig cap (optional but good for smooth base)
• Wide-tooth comb or detangle wig brush
• Bobby pins (for security)
• Continuous Spray bottle with water (for curly units)
• Diffuser (optional for defined curls)
Step-by-Step Flip Over Wig Install
Step 1: Prep Your Hair (2 mins)
Cornrow or slick your natural hair back into a low bun or flat twists. Leave or two sections in the front. Braid them down (pop smoke style) Apply a wig cap if you want extra hold or a smooth base.
Step 2: Place the Wig (1 min)
Position your flip over wig just behind your natural hairline. Secure it using the adjustable band, combs, or bobby pins.
Pro Tip: If your unit has layers or curls, use your fingers to fluff it up and see which side looks best for the flip.
Step 3: Style Your Edges (2 mins)
Use edge control to sleek your baby hairs or natural edges. This adds that polished, realistic finish. I recommend a KeraCare Stick or Beeswax.
Step 4: Define the Curls or Waves (2–3 mins)
Spray your wig with water and scrunch, or apply a bit of mousse for extra hold. Use a diffuser for more volume or to dry quickly.
Step 5: Flip & Go (1 min)
Create a natural “flip” on one side—no defined part needed. Rock it off-center or to the side for that effortless, voluminous look.
