For anyone who wears a wig daily, learning how to travel with it is essential. There are several methods to safely pack your wig in a suitcase to ensure it arrives undamaged, protecting your investment.
Wig Tote
A wig tote is a special box designed to hold a Styrofoam head and wig. This is the best way to transport a wig, as it maintains the shape and offers protection. However, this method is quite bulky and requires ample suitcase space.
Dealing with Limited Space
If you’re like most travelers and short on suitcase space, there are alternatives. One method is using a hairnet to protect the wig’s hair from getting pulled or tangled. To maintain the wig’s shape, stuff it with clothes you’re already packing. This prevents the wig from getting squashed without taking up much additional space.
Displaying Your Wig
Once you reach your destination, you’ll need a stand to keep your wig in shape. If you brought the Styrofoam head, you can use that. Alternatively, collapsible stands are easier to pack and can also be used to display your wig.
