This is my second go at losing my hair and bought a new monofilament wig but since my real hair was fine, it looked a bit thick and not quite “me”. Also, it was a bit puffy - tho it fitted round my head ok due to the adjustable band, it didnt fit close to my head.
After much indecision, i decided to have a go at sorting it and it seems to have worked perfectly.
When your turn your wig inside out, you see the horizontal lines of "hair, sewn on to the sides - I clipped two lines of hair out, and overstitched the sides then sewed up the vertical tabs, reducing the gap.
Then I parted the hair near the top and with sharp scissors, snipped a few hairs at a time from the top section and kept trying the wig on to make sure iI wasn’t going too mad.
For me its made an unwearable wig that I got off the net into something that looks just like my own hair and I am glad I gave it a shot.
All you need is good eyesight and bravado!
Or you could go to a haridressers where they cut wigs. Trendco which sells wigs has a brilliant wig cutting service in Brighton.

I got my wigs cut by friends/relatives who are all hairdressers and I’m so pleased with the result.
Good on you for doing it yourself - it sounds far beyond my capability!!
I would recommend anyone who is unhappy with their wig to get it cut - preferably by someone who knows what your usual style is etc well done
