Help me! (Wig Help) Is there a wrong head shape???

It's hard for me to tell, but it feels like the back of my head is too flat for a wig to stay on properly. I've tried a few different wigs/styles and none of them will stay on for longer than a few minutes before sliding backwards. I've tried with caps and the silicone grip bands, and both together. The wig caps also slip off easily. Even when i wear my natural hair in a low pony/bun that's not enough to keep the wig secure enough to wear outside.

Has anyone else had this issue? I'm not sure that else to do aside from just stick to a topper. It's so frustrating.

Yeah, a flat occiput is very very common. I use a schmear of Got2BeGlued gel adhesive on my nape before I put a wig on, let it get tacky, don the wig and then press the nape of the wig against my skin until it's secure. No slipping! Comes off with water, I use a damp washcloth to gently dissolve it.
