You can apply lace wigs with a liquid wig adhesive or double sided tape. First put together all the materials that you require for easy access. Make sure you either braid your natural hair, pin it up or wrap it in a stocking. Try a mesh cap for the most secure fit. Get all the baby hairs from your lace front wigs out of the way so that you avoid cutting them in error when trimming the lace for a good fit. You can apply fray block which will prevent your lace wigs from getting frayed thus enhancing their life.
Take care while cutting the extra lace around the edge of the lace wigs where the hair is knotted and make sure you do not cut the baby hairs. Those hairs are what provides a natural look. Take as much time as you need with this part as cutting too much off could ruin the lace front wigs. Cut only bit at a time just so you don’t end up with a disaster.
Use a makeup sponge dipped in alcohol or cleanser and clean your skin along the edges of your natural hairline. This should help remove the extra oils in your skin. It is better you use a sponge rather than a cotton ball as the latter sometimes leaves remnants of cotton along your hairline. This will allow for the adhesive to secure to your skin comfortably and tightly. Next put scalp protector on the portion that is to be bonded and then wait for it to dry. Now place the lace wig on your head. Take an eyebrow pencil and trace the hairline of the wig lightly on your forehead. This will help you apply your lace front wig in the exact place where it looks most natural.
Use the application brush to apply the adhesive as instructed a little beyond the hairline. Once the glue reaches the sticky consistency depending on the kind that you use, place your lace wig on the head. Beginning at the middle point of your forehead, bond the wig to your head by applying pressure on one side and then the other side making use of the end of a tail comb. Bond the front hairline first in the case of lace front wigs and then at the nape for full lace wigs. Let the glue dry off completely before you begin to style your new head of hair which is normally 24 hours. Tie the hair with a satin or silk scarf till the glue has set completely.
The lace wigs can also be fixed by using tape. Cut the tape into strips and attach them securely along the edge of the lace front wigs. Place the lace wig on your head. Remove the tape backing of the tape a few at a time. Beginning at the center of the forehead, press the tape securely into the skin by making use of a tail comb. Also make sure you are fixing your lace front wig in a cool place and not some place else where you will be perspiring. For a longer hold, you can use a combination of adhesive and tape.
