How to Apply a Lace Wig
Lace wigs are high-quality wigs that allow you to choose from a variety of different hairstyles. You can choose from straight or curly and long, short or medium length lace wigs. Choosing a quality lace wig that is custom fitted to your head increases the beauty of the wig and allows for a realistic and natural look.
- Ensure that the lace wig you are applying fits snugly. A lace wig should fit onto the head snugly, yet comfortably for the most realistic look. If the wig is not fit correctly it may damage the real hair or slide around on the head.
- Have a lace wig custom ordered to the exact size of the person who will be wearing it for the best fit and most natural look.
- Remove the excess lace around the perimeter of the wig leaving approximately 1/4 inch of lace at the hairline of the wig. Use sharp scissors for a precise cut.
- Use a knot sealer on the underside of the wig to seal and secure the knots of the hair on the wig. You can purchase a knot sealer at a local beauty supply store.
- Braid the hair of the person who will be wearing the wig in small braids or apply corn rolls to the persons hair.
- Apply rubbing alcohol to the skin around the hairline to remove any oils from the surface of the skin.
- Apply a lace wig adhesive to the skin at the hair line and attach the wig in small sections so that the adhesive is not allowed to dry.
- Repeat this process until the wig has been attached to the entire perimeter of the hairline around the head.
- Apply pressure to the area where the adhesive has been applied to create a bond between the wig and the skin.
- Cut and style the lace wig in the way that you prefer.
