Cutting The Lace Edges
Many first-time lace wig wearers do not cut the lace edges. Usually, due to fear of overdoing it and ruining the wig. Never cut too much of lace off at first. Always cut smaller portions of the lace instead. Slowly trimming your way down to the perfect aide for your hairline. Use long fluid scissors to cut the lace edges around the front and sides. Avoid using scissors.
Test Your Wig Adhesive Before Applying
The chemicals that are in wig glues and adhesives may not suit all skin types. Before fully gluing a lace wig to your skin, test the product on your skin first. Apply a small drop of wig glue or adhesive to your forearm. Let it sit for a few hours or even overnight. If there are no allergic reactions after two days, then the glue is safe for your skin. For an easy solution that is waterproof and sweat resistant, go with a
relentless bond waterproof adhesive
Wrap Your Natural Hair Properly
In order for your lace wig to sit flawlessly, you need to wrap the foundation properly. If not, your lace wig will end up puffy as opposed to natural flowing. Braiding your natural hair is an ideal choice for those with longer hair. however, do not braid your hair too tight. This will lead to thinning hair and scalp problems.
Select the Proper Hair Density
Wig Density refers to the thickness of the hair on a lace front wig. Always go for a wig with a density that matches naturally to you specifically.
