Lace front wigs have become a game-changer for anyone looking to switch up their hairstyle without damaging natural hair. Whether you’re new to wigs or a regular user, knowing how to install a lace front wig properly ensures it looks natural, stays secure, and lasts longer. At Wigsvana (
www.wigsvana.com), we offer a wide range of high-quality wigs, including lace front styles that blend seamlessly with any hairline—let’s break down the installation process.
Before starting, you’ll need a few key tools to make the installation smooth. Grab a wig cap (matching your skin tone), wig adhesive (water-based or lace glue), a small brush for applying adhesive, scissors (for trimming excess lace), and a wide-tooth comb.
First, prep your lace front wig: gently comb through the hair to remove tangles—this is important for all wigs, especially premium lace front wigs that you want to keep in top shape. If your wig is new, check the lace for any loose threads and trim any excess lace around the perimeter (leave about 1/4 inch to avoid cutting too close to the hair). This step ensures your comfortable lace front wigs fit better right from the start.
Your natural hair needs a smooth base to ensure the lace front wig sits flat. Start by washing and drying your hair thoroughly—oily hair can weaken the adhesive, so a clean base is key for long-lasting lace front wigs.
If you have short hair, pull it back tightly with bobby pins. For longer or thicker hair, braid it flat against your scalp (cornrows work best) to avoid bumps. Once your hair is secured, put on the wig cap and tuck any loose strands under the cap. This step not only protects your natural hair but also helps secure lace front wigs in place all day.
Now it’s time to apply the adhesive. Use the small brush to spread a thin, even layer of glue along your hairline—start from one ear and work your way to the other. Let the adhesive sit for 1-2 minutes until it becomes tacky (this helps the wig stick better).
Carefully pick up your lace front wig and align the lace with your hairline—start at the center of your forehead and adjust the sides to match your natural hairline. Press the lace firmly onto the tacky adhesive, starting from the center and moving outward to the ears. Hold each section for 10-15 seconds to ensure a strong bond—this is how you get strong-hold lace front wigs that stay put through daily activities.
Once the wig is positioned, it’s time to make the lace blend with your skin. Take the scissors and trim any remaining excess lace along the hairline—cut in small, curved motions to mimic the natural shape of your hairline (avoid straight cuts, as they look unnatural).
Next, style your wig: use a wide-tooth comb to shape the hair, or use a curling iron (on low heat) for waves or curls—just be sure to use heat protectant, as this preserves the quality of your stylish lace front wigs. You can also pluck a few strands of hair from the lace front to create a more natural-looking hairline—this trick makes your natural-looking lace front wigs indistinguishable from real hair.
After installation, proper care keeps your lace front wig looking fresh. Avoid getting the adhesive wet for the first 24 hours to let the bond set. When washing, use a mild shampoo designed for wigs and gently lather—never rub the lace vigorously, as this can damage it. Let your wig air dry on a wig stand to maintain its shape—this is crucial for durable lace front wigs that you can reuse many times.
