One of the most popular methods in lace application is the stocking cap method which requires a nylon stocking cap, and gel (lots of gel).   The crowd favorite is gots2b utlra gel and the gots2b glued freeze spray combo.

Even after wearing lace fronts for the past couple years, we were a little nervous about this application method.  But after watching a handful of Youtube lace install tutorials, we finally got the courage to try this install method; and to be honest it wasn’t all that bad. So of course, we couldn’t just get a flawless frontal and not share!
