If you use a wig in the same style for a long time, you may get tired of it. In such a case, why not change your style by cutting your wig into a short bob? We will show you how to cut a wig into a short bob. A short bob is relatively easy to cut, so it is also recommended for those who are new to cutting wigs.

Basics of wig cutting and necessary tools

In order to successfully cut a wig, be sure to know the preparations, necessary tools, and tips.

First, it is important to use a wig stand or mannequin when cutting your wig. It's difficult to cut the wig while it's in place, or to cut it while you're wearing it. Use a wig mannequin or stand to cut your hair while looking at the entire head, just like a hairdresser would cut your hair.

Next, we recommend blocking the wig (dividing it into sections) and cutting it. If you insert the scissors without preparing anything, you may end up cutting too much or have difficulty making adjustments later. Block the wig and create sections such as the ``bangs,'' ``top of the head,'' ``sides,'' and ``back of the head,'' and cut each section in turn.

Below are the minimum tools needed to cut a wig.

  • wig stand or mannequin
  • Rugs or newspapers to prevent cut hair from scattering
  • haircut scissors and hair shears
  • Hair clips and hair ties for blocking
  • misting

If you are cutting a heat-resistant wig, it is a good idea to have a hair dryer and iron ready for styling after cutting.

Steps and precautions for cutting into a short bob

If this is your first time cutting a wig, it may be difficult to know how long to cut it.

First, try on the wig yourself and decide on the length you want to cut. Mark the slightly lower part with a clip, remove the wig, and transfer it to the mannequin. Then, use masking tape to wrap around the clipped part.

This allows you to check the length you want while cutting, making it easier to cut.

Next, roughly cut the hair along the tape. Once you have cut the entire hair, block it again with a hair clip or hair tie and cut each part to the desired length.

One thing to keep in mind is to cut the inner hair shorter than the outer hair. If you cut it in the opposite direction, it may cause it to splatter. To create a natural curly bob style, cut with the inner hair in mind.

Also, when cutting the bangs of a wig, mark it with tape in the same way, place it back on the mannequin, and use scissors to lightly cut the entire wig. Even if you want to create bangs with sharp bangs, it will be easier to finish by first cutting them lightly with scissors, and then trimming small areas to an even length with haircutting shears.

summary

This time, we introduced the steps to cut a wig into a short bob if you are tired of its style. Preparing the necessary tools, blocking, and marking the length you want to cut will make the cut less difficult. We also recommend cutting it a little longer at first and gradually adjusting it to make it shorter. Let's master bob hair while having fun arranging your wig.
