Hooking up your wig the proper way

Title says it all! As a cosplayer, the wig is one of the essential elements to a costume. Wigs are expensive and we find it a "duty" to make our wigs last as long as we can. That is why we highly take care of them. 

One of the ways to take care of your wig is on how you put it on. I have been cosplaying for five years now and I came across this picture making me realize that I have been hooking up my wig the wrong way.

This is the post that came along the picture:
This is used to secure the wig on your head and it can also be used to adjust the size of the wig (usually it comes in 3 pairs in which you can hook the said lock/strap). If you lock together the two hooks, chances are with continued use, you might break the said hooks. Replacing the hooks is easy since it is common... But it is quite a hassle looking for it (if you don't have a bra strap to spare or if you don't know where to get one)... So save yourself the trouble and use the lock/strap properly. :)


Hopefully this has helped you as it had helped me! :)
