I do not install the lace front wig at home unless I have all the required tools and products to guarantee a flawless and secure application. Here is a step-by-step how to put on a lace front wig.
- Lace Front Wig: Choose a lace front wig that suits your hair color or style of interest.
- Wig Cap: This cap creates a plain surface for you to lace your wig onto and keeps all of your real hair in place. The color should be close to the color of your skin.
- Hair Clips Or Pins: These help push back your real hair as you prepare to put the wig on.
- Scissors: You'll use sharp scissors and care so you won't leave marks that can mar the natural look around your hairline at the front, as this will be where the lace is cut off. A lace glue or adhesive tape may be used in securing the lace. Ensure that you pick an adhesive that is suitable to your skin and your sensitivity.
- Alcohol Wipes: On your hairline, alcohol wipes should be used before the application of adhesive to remove oils and residue.
- Makeup Brush or Sponge: This offers a lovely way of dabbing foundation or concealer around the lace. Then, the lace blends perfectly well with your skin tone, really making the wig appear very natural.
- Rat Tail Comb: This can be used when applying the lace and adjusting and smoothing it out. It's also useful in creating seamless edges.
- Blow Dryer: You can set the adhesive by using just a blow dryer on a low setting.
- Edge Control: You might use a small amount of edge control to lay down baby hairs or flyaways for an excellent finish.
Blow dryers, edge control, and such instruments may be used in the home to successfully install a lace front wig with a natural and professional look.
