Share
Introduction: Installing a lace front wig doesn't have to be intimidating! Whether you're new to wigs or looking to perfect your technique, this step-by-step guide will have you looking flawless in minutes.
What You'll Need:
- Lace front wig
- Wig cap
- Scissors
- Wig glue or tape
- Alcohol wipes
- Edge control or gel
- Blow dryer (optional)
Step-by-Step Installation:
-
Prep Your Hair
- Braid or slick your natural hair flat against your scalp, then put on a wig cap to create a smooth base.
-
Prep Your Skin
- Clean your hairline with an alcohol wipe to remove oils. This helps the adhesive stick better.
-
Cut the Lace
- Carefully trim the excess lace along the hairline of the wig. Cut as close to the hairline as possible without cutting the hair.
-
Apply Adhesive
- Apply wig glue or tape along your hairline. If using glue, let it get tacky (about 30 seconds).
-
Position the Wig
- Place the wig on your head, starting from the front. Press the lace into the adhesive firmly.
-
Secure and Style
- Use a blow dryer on cool setting to set the adhesive. Apply edge control to blend your baby hairs with the wig.
Pro Tips:
- Practice makes perfect - don't get discouraged!
- Use a wig grip band for extra security
- Customize the hairline by plucking a few hairs for a natural look
