HOW TO APPLY YOUR LACE WIG

1.) The first task is to create a flat surface for the wig to sit on. You can braid your hair down, mold it, or apply a stocking cap and/or wig liner. Some of my clients prefer molding or wrapping the hair if it has been relaxed or braiding it they wear it natural. The decision is yours.

2.) Next cleanse your forehead and nape perimeter with alcohol. This will create a clean oil free surface which will be better for the adhesive to adhere to. After the alcohol has dried apply a skin protectant and/or skin prep to the area.

3.) All the hair of the wig hair should be pinned up before placing on your head. (This will eliminate the hair from falling and sticking to the glue. Be especially careful of the baby hairs they stick EASILY into the excess glue.)

4.) Place the wig on your head & evaluate how and where you would like the hairline. The goal is to find where the hairline will look most natural.

Mark or lightly outline where it is to be placed on your head, I like to use eyeliner for this task. Do not apply adhesive outside these marks.

You should be able to place four fingers between your hairline and your eyebrows for the most natural look.

5.) Gradually starting trimming the excess lace, the goal here is to create your hairline, so only cut small amounts off at a time. Refrain from making jagged cuts in the lace only smooth precision ones. Small sharp scissors work well for cutting the lace.

6.) After you have created your hairline, apply adhesive to the hairline so it can stay on your head. Let it dry somewhat before placing your wig over it. It should be al little tacky sticky not stringy, to the touch for best hold results. (Please keep in mind that the drying portion of this step might differ depending on the type of adhesive you are using)

7.) Add glue to any spots that you may have missed. Make sure you let it dry before pressing down with comb. Lace should lay on forehead hairline smoothly with no ripples.
