What Is a Drawstring Wig?
A drawstring wig is a type of glueless wig that features an adjustable drawstring at the nape of the neck, allowing you to tighten or loosen the wig cap for a secure, custom fit — no glue, no tape, no lace cutting required. They're one of the most beginner-friendly wig options available and can be installed in minutes.
Our Glueless Drawstring Wig — Water Wave Jerry Curly 20 Inch is a bestseller for good reason — it's effortless to wear, stunningly beautiful, and made from 100% Remy human hair.
How to Install a Drawstring Wig
- Prep your hair: Braid, twist, or flatten your natural hair close to your scalp. Use a wig cap for extra security and a smoother base.
- Position the wig: Place the wig on your head, aligning the front edge with your natural hairline.
- Secure the front: Use the built-in combs at the front and sides to grip your hair or wig cap.
- Tighten the drawstring: Pull the drawstring at the nape to tighten the wig to your head. Tie or tuck the string to secure.
- Style as desired: Part, curl, straighten, or leave as-is — the wig is fully heat-styleable.
Styling Your Drawstring Wig
One of the biggest advantages of a human hair drawstring wig is its styling versatility:
- Wear it as-is: The water wave or curly texture looks stunning right out of the box.
- Straighten it: Use a flat iron on low-medium heat for a sleek, straight look.
- Add curls: Use a curling wand to refresh or change the curl pattern.
- Create a ponytail: Pull the wig hair into a high or low ponytail for a different look.
- Half-up style: Pin the top half up for a romantic, effortless style.
How to Care for Your Drawstring Wig
- Wash every 10–15 wears with sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner
- Detangle gently with a wide-tooth comb, starting from the ends
- Air dry on a wig stand to maintain the shape and curl pattern
- Store on a wig stand when not in use to prevent tangling and matting
- Use a silk or satin bonnet when sleeping if you wear the wig overnight
Drawstring Wig vs. Lace Front Wig: Which Is Right for You?
- Drawstring Wig: Best for beginners, quick installs, and those who want zero glue or lace work. Slightly less natural-looking hairline but incredibly easy to use.
- Lace Front Wig: More natural-looking hairline, more styling versatility at the front, but requires more skill to install.
If you're new to wigs, start with a drawstring wig and work your way up to lace fronts as you get more comfortable.
