Wig Band-Brown

I've wanted a wig grip for years, but I just couldn't make myself choke up the $20 for the name brand. I've always had a terrible time keeping any kind of stretchy fabric headband on my head (they just slide right off), so I couldn't believe all the people saying that it works great and keeps your wig in place. I've bought so many headbands that were a waste of money, I just couldn't bring myself to try a wig grip. I just didn't think it would work for me. But IT DOES!! It really does! I broke down and bought this for $12, because I had a couple of small wigs that just didn't want to stay on my head. As someone with a bigger head, this was a problem. I pinned up my hair, put on the wig grip, and WOW. I tugged on it, and it didn't move! (It will move if I tug hard, but not a regular quick tug.) I wore it around the house for an hour, and it didn't move! I was impressed so far. So I tried on my new wig that was too small. It worked! I had feared that the wig grip would make it harder to get the small wig on, but the wig grip is pretty thin, so it wasn't an issue. It takes a little work to get a small wig over it, covering everything, and positioned just right, but once it's on, it's ON. I wore that wig for hours, and it never slipped a single time. Not only that, but the wig grip didn't prevent the lace front from laying down properly, which was another fear I'd had. I was sure it would bump up the lace front and make the wig obvious. Nope. I just positioned the wig grip about 1/2" behind my widow's peak at the front of my hairline, and placed the wig so that the lace front was just in front of my hairline. No problem, and no lifting. The wig grip is very comfortable under the wig, and didn't feel like it added any tightness under the already-tight wig. The only time I had trouble is when I fastened the wig grip too tight. Don't make it any tighter than it needs to be--you'll likely just give yourself a headache and maybe make your wig grip get stretched out. If it's uncomfortable, try loosening it. Once I loosened mine, I was golden. I didn't even need to take off the wig, I just lifted it in the back to access the velcro of the wig grip. Seriously, I'd give this must-have wig accessory ten stars if I could. And buying it at $12 instead of $20 makes me more likely to bite the bullet and buy some extra wig grips as back ups. I can't say enough good things about this. I really wish they sold this as a headband as well, in some pretty colors that don't have the label on the side. I'd buy them like crazy! By the way, make sure you buy your wig grip in the color that the ROOT and CAP of your wig is. Don't buy a light wig grip for a blonde wig that has dark roots. It should match the root color and/or the cap color as closely as possible. And if you're buying a super light colored wig with no rooting, you may have issues with the wig grip showing through--I'm not sure, because I don't buy that color, but I've seen YT videos of platinum or white wig wearers that have trouble with wefting lines showing through when the wind blows, especially in a thin wig, so the wig grip may also be an issue in those colors, possibly. I haven't yet worn the wig grip in conjunction with a wig cap, so I don't know how well that works, but I think most people put on their wig cap, then the wig grip over it, and then the wig.

My first wig kept slipping around when active in outside (even with bobby pins & wig cap), so I thought I’d give this a try and ordered brown. It’s very similar to my spa or face wash headband except for the type of material used. This is very soft velvet and actually thinner, with a strong adjustable velcro strip closure. The headband itself is 21” in length, has good elasticity, and was easy to wrap around & secure to my head. Once on with a wig, there was no need for bobby pins, glue, tape, wig cap or looking into other options for securing the wig. Incidentally, I tried this with a head scarf, and it does work but gives you a tad of a lift and depending on style wrap, a crease. As a wig grip this has one job to do & does it well. It also has been a great time saver on securing the wig, giving me more time to fuss about and try different hairstyles (I still haven’t found that sweet spot). For the funeral, it turned out to be an extremely windy day where people were having hats fly off, BUT my wig was held in place and remained comfortable for the entire day without giving me a pressure/wig headache from the headband. It is well made, comfortable to wear, and easy to care for. It is also versatile and can be used without a wig to keep hair out of your face when applying makeup and facials. Overall, it’s well made and of great quality & value for the price. As for durability, I’ll update after a few months of wearing & washings to see how it holds up. It’s a steal for under $10. 5-stars!

I had been using the Dini elastic wig grips, but as my hair began growing in (I have alopecia, sometimes I have hair, sometimes I don't), I noticed wear on my edges. It tended to shift on my new hair, too. When it shifted, the black band really showed. My wig is blond and I am pale. I finally tried one of these, and I love it. It's soft, never moves or rubs my hair, and really secures my wig. Huge improvement! Also, I bought it in tan, so if any of it ever showed, it would be a startling contrast. It does a wonderful job of keeping my growing hair up under my wig. My only con is that I apparently have a big head, and the band just fit after stretching it slightly. I would have preferred another inch in length. Measure your head around the hairline carefully. If you are at 22 inches, it will just fit. I wouldn't buy this if you need more length. Maybe GEX will add a new size.

I never review products but as a cosplayer this thing was life-changing. I wore a heavy ponytail wig for 12+ hours and went dancing as well and experienced zero slippage. Highly recommend.

Great, wig never budged.

This wig grip does a good job holding my wig in place, however the velcro fastener is no where near long enough to let you wrap the headband securely, the velcro goes WAY past the fastener even when trying not to pull too tight so I need to use a bobby pin to secure the headband which should not be necessary and kind of defeats the purpose of a wig grip (not having to use bobby pins that can damage your hair). I consider my head to be pretty big so if you have a small head good luck trying to put the velcro and fastener in place. I was not aware the fasteners come in different lengths for different colors so just be sure you're buying the correct one. Still, I can't imagine who's head this is supposed to fit on. The band is also kind of thick but I suppose that's my fault for not noticing these come in "thicker" and "thinner" (why would I want a thicker band? Most people want their wig to lay as flat as possible so.. wth?). You'll also definitely be able to see the band through your lace so try to find one that matches your skin tone as much as possible and be ready to break out the foundation/concealer to help it blend well. Overall though I am able to make it work and it does what I need it to do.

I've only worn it once so far, but it worked like a charm. I've been wearing a wig for a month now and trying to find a way to keep it from creeping up on my head. I think this is it. UPDATE: I have been wearing this wig band for a couple of weeks now and I love, love, love it. Before I got this band, I was using another type of band, plus bobby pins and all day I felt as though the wig was creeping up the back of my head. Most days I had to take the wig off at lunchtime, to reposition it. Now, I put the GEX band on, without bobby pins, and the wig stays in place all day. Love it. SECOND UPDATE: I've been wearing this band for three months now. I can't say enough good things about it. I put it on in the morning, put the wig on and don't think about it the rest of the day. Wearing a wig is a non-issue with this band. Actually, I've bought a second band to wear to bed. When my hair thinned out so much, my CPAP head gear would not stay in place during the night. The headgear's elastic band at the back of my head kept slipping up. I now put on my GEX wig band before the CPAP headgear and it has not slipped at all since I started doing this. I also wear the band around the house. When I get home at the end of the day, I take my wig off and put on a wide headband or turban-style headband. The GEX band keeps them in place.

I have to rate this wig grip a 5 due to the upgrade is so much better then the original for me. With me having a small head the original was too big even though the Velcro did keep my wig from sliding the overall fit on my head was not pleasant and the worst part was the shape it’s made. I have not tried the upgrade on with my wig just yet but just the way it laid on my head and the Velcro is more then enough strength for ones who need a little extra. I was so thrilled with this I ordered a second one, I noticed the quality in brown is selling out rather quickly and glad I got my order in. If you’re thinking about getting one, I really recommend you go for it, after you try it you may not go back to the older one. It’s very adjustable with strength. Highly recommended. If anything changes once I try it with my wig on, will comeback and update.

Really good for hold wig

Serves the purpose really well and fits great on head with no sliding or anything. Holds wig beautifully both lace and non lace front👍

This little item was far better than I expected. It seems to hold the wig better than anything else so far.

Good quality

The quality is really good but its a bit expensive.
