When I started clowning, I did just as Lolly Plop suggested, but instead of using panty hose, I used little girl tights. Then if your wig is just a little bit see-thru you can even use tights similar in color to your wig color. My hair is heavy and it comes to my shoulders. I found the wig caps that I found at the beauty salon and a local clown supply store just weren't quite strong enough to keep my heavy hair up even tho I pinned it first. A friend of mine had the same problem. The tights work better for me. Panty hose would too, but you may need control top for heavy hair. Before I put it under the tights, I just pull it up on top of my head with a scrunchie and pin up layers that start falling. Then I put the tights over. I also used one of the Mooseburger skull caps for awhile but it just felt to binding and hot for me under the wig so I went back to the tights cap. Experiment and see what works for you. You can find girls tights cheap at the $1 if you want to try it first. If you don't like it you've only wasted $1. Good luck!
