Why Choose a Lace Front Wig?
Lace front wigs are a fantastic way to achieve a natural-looking hairstyle. They are incredibly versatile and can be styled in various ways, allowing you to experiment with different looks. Our brand, UHAIR, offers high-quality lace front wigs that are pre-plucked and pre-bleached, saving you time and effort.
What You’ll Need
Before we dive into the steps, let's gather all the necessary tools and products:
Super thin wig cap
Bold Hold Liquid Gold or a similar adhesive
Small baby scissors
Foundation matching your skin tone
Zigzag scissors
Skin protector
Lace glue
Rat tail comb
Blow dryer (cool setting)
Hot comb (Andis brand recommended)
Hair wax
Tweezers
Small flat iron (Conair baby flat iron recommended)
Mousse
Hairspray
Curling iron and rollers (optional)
Step-by-Step Guide to Installing a Lace Front Wig
Step 1: Prepare Your Hair and Wig Cap
Start by preparing your natural hair. Depending on your hair's thickness, you might need to braid it or pin it back to ensure a flat surface. For those with thin hair like mine, simply pinning it back can work well. Next, put on a super thin wig cap. This will protect your edges and give your wig a more natural look.
Apply Bold Hold Liquid Gold to secure the wig cap in place. You can also use a Got2B Freeze Spray or a melting spray. Avoid using glue directly on your hair as it can damage your edges.
Step 2: Cut the Lace
Place your wig on your head and use zigzag scissors to trim the lace. Cutting in a jagged motion rather than straight across helps the lace blend more seamlessly with your skin. Adjust the wig to your liking, making sure it sits comfortably and aligns with your natural hairline.
Step 3: Apply Lace Glue
Clean your forehead with a skin protector before applying any glue. Apply a thin layer of lace glue along your hairline. Use a rat tail comb and a blow dryer on the cool setting to dry the glue until it becomes tacky. Repeat with a second layer if needed. Once the glue is tacky, carefully place the lace onto the glued area and press it down firmly.
Step 4: Secure the Wig
To further secure the wig, you can use additional adhesive sprays like the Got2B Glued Spray. Apply the spray around the edges of the lace and use the rat tail comb to press the lace into your skin. Blow dry on a cool setting to ensure it stays in place.
Step 5: Style the Wig
Now that your human hair wigs are securely attached, it’s time to style it. Here’s how I style my UHAIR wig:
Flatten the Wig: Use a hot comb and hair wax to flatten the wig, especially around the parting area. This ensures the wig looks natural and sits perfectly on your head.
Tweeze the Hairline: If needed, tweeze the hairline to make it look more realistic. Be gentle to avoid over-plucking.
Create Baby Hairs: If you prefer baby hairs, pull out small sections of hair along the hairline and trim them. Use mousse and a small flat iron to shape them.
Curl or Straighten: Depending on the look you’re going for, use a curling iron or flat iron to style the wig. For a voluminous look, use rollers after curling.
Step 6: Final Touches
Finish off by using products like the Color Wow Root Cover-Up to blend the lace with your skin. This helps hide any visible lace and makes the wig look more natural. Additionally, use hairspray to set your style and ensure it lasts throughout the day.
Optional: Wearing the Wig Glueless
If you prefer a glueless install, adjust the straps inside the wig for a secure fit. This method is great if you plan to wear the wig for a short period and want to remove it easily at the end of the day.
Conclusion
And there you have it—a comprehensive guide to installing a lace front wig. With the right tools and techniques, you can achieve a flawless and natural look with your UHAIR wig. Remember, practice makes perfect, so don’t be discouraged if it takes a few tries to get it just right.
