How to wear and apply a Lace Front Wig:
When you first receive your hair, you will need to cut the lace. You’ll want to carefully trim the lace, similar to your own natural hairline.
Once the lace is cut, you’ll want to place the lace front wig at your forehead and slide it back over your head. The wig should be placed and worn at the hairline for the most natural look.
Application Methods:
There are many different techniques for applying a lace front wig. The lace wig is usually attached with the assistance of glues and tapes, which are applied to the front hairline area. Once the glue has dried the lace front can stay in place and even shampooed and maintained for weeks.
If your not into using glues and wig adhesives, you can opt for a glueless lace front wig. Glueless lace front wigs are attached to the hairline by using the combs in the wig, and in some cases a dab of gel to lay the hairline.
How to care for a Lace Front Wig:
When caring for a lace wig you’ll want to be delicate with the lace. You can wash, comb and style the lace front like any other wig. But you don’t want to tear or stress the lace. When you are adjusting your wig it’s recommended to use the side tabs. This is also important when washing the wig. Don’t scrub or pull on the lace to keep your wig looking good.
It’s recommended to use wig shampoos and styling products in your wig. If your wig is human hair, most normal hair products will work on your wig. You’ll want to make sure to air dry your wig after washing and store it somewhere safe. For more tips on wig care, check out are wig care post, here.
