Lifting edges on a lace frontal closure is a regular headache; however, with the right tools, you can restore the area to a secure, natural-looking finish. This is how it is done:
- Clean The Area: First, lift the lace frontal gently from the corner of lifting. Clean your skin and the underside of the lace with rubbing alcohol to remove oils, dirt, or old adhesive. This will allow the new glue or gel to bond properly.
- Dry And Prep: Allow the area to dry completely. For sensitive skin, use a scalp protector as a barrier for better hold.
- Select Your Adhesive: Select either lace glue or holding gel based on your skin type and the strength of holding you may require. Waterproof lace adhesive is recommended for the strongest and most durable result. For a temporary hold, you can use styling gel or a holding spray, such as Got2b Glued.
- Reapply & Set: Carefully apply adhesive along the hairline where the lace frontal closure lifts. Wait until the glue is tacky (usually around 30 seconds), and then press the lace back into position. Use a rat-tail comb or your fingers to gently press it.
- Wrap it Up And Dry: Tie your scarf securely over the edges for at least 10-15 minutes. This melts the lace into the skin and sets the hold pretty much.
- Style As You Wish: After the set, style your lace frontal closure as you usually do. Avoid too much heat or moisture on the edges to keep that bond.
Regular maintenance and gentle handling can help prevent future lifting and prolong the life of your lace frontal closure.
