Handheld Spray

Many wig wearers ditch the hair glue and use a setting spray instead. Why? Like glue, the holding spray provides a long-lasting hold to keep your wig cap or hair shade firmly in place.

Plus, the spray has the great advantage that it's easier to spray on your hairline and can be layered without becoming bulky, making the wig look heavy or bulky. It keeps your wig safe for up to a week.
