Lace typically comes in two options: translucent and brown. If you have lighter skin, the translucent may be best as the color can be adjusted slightly with makeup or foundation. If your skin color is deeper, the brown option is best and will require less manipulation to match your scalp. The great thing about lace front or full lace wigs is that you can customize them to fit your style. One of the most popular customization is the wig color.
Keep in mind that not all wigs can be dyed. If you want to dye your wig, you should make sure you order a wig with virgin hair. Virgin hair has not been manipulated and can be dyed. If you want a lighter color, you should purchase a blonde or platinum wig and then have it dyed to the color of your choosing. If you want to keep it simple, you can purchase a pre-dyed wig. When purchasing a lace front or full lace wig, consider it an investment. These wigs can be reused if properly cared for.
We only use the highest quality hair and offer guidelines on how to properly care for your wig. After all, proper care starts with a great application.
You can have the wig glued down, or you can have a stylist sew the wig into place. For some ladies, sewing the wig replaces the traditional weave sew-in. The lace is lightweight and breathable, which can be more comfortable for the wearer than the traditional sew-in weave.
Having a stylist put on your wig is a great way to ensure proper installation; however, you may choose to apply your wig at home. To help relieve some stress about wig installation, let's talk about the scary part of putting on a lace front wig. Lace front wigs are made to accommodate many shapes and sizes of heads, and let's face it, foreheads. What is a lace front wig if not versatile?
Because of this, lace front wigs come with a large piece of lace that needs to be cut and shaped to fit your preferred hairline. The old saying, "Measure twice, cut once" certainly applies here. Ensuring a proper cut is difficult but is possible if you follow the correct steps:.
Place your wig on your head, finding the center part, and outline your desired hairline with a lip pencil or eyeliner to mark the best position of the wig for your face. Wash your skin with a gentle cleanser and blot it dry with a towel. Next, dab some rubbing alcohol on cotton ball and wipe it along your hairline. This will remove the excess oils on your skin. If you have sensitive skin, you can apply a scalp-protecting serum after using the rubbing alcohol.
Allow the serum to dry completely before continuing. Scalp-protecting serums can be bought at wig supply shops and online. Part 2. Test the fit of the wig. Before you apply any adhesives, you need to make sure the wig fits properly. To do so, place the wig on your head and line it up with your natural hairline.
If the wig has tightening straps on the inside, you may need to adjust these for a proper fit. If you can feel a strong ring of pressure around your scalp, the wig is too tight.
Loosen the straps slightly. If the wig slides around when you move your head, the wig is too loose. Tighten the straps. Trim the lace. Once your wig fits properly, you need to trim the lace.
Use a few clips to pull the hair away from your face. Next, using sharp pinking shears, trim the lace along your natural hairline.
This will only have to be done the first time you wear the wig. These wigs have little to no excess lace at the front of the wig. You can buy pinking shears at sewing supply stores. Remove the wig and set it aside. Carefully pull the wig off, leaving all the clips in, and set the wig on a clean flat surface. If you have to loosen any straps to get the wig off, your wig is too tight.
Apply wig tape. Cut six to ten small pieces of wig tape. Next, line your hairline with the small pieces of tape by pressing the sticky side against your skin. Use a mirror while you do this to create an even hairline.
Make sure all of the pieces are touching. Otherwise, you may have loose gaps in your hairline. Wig tape can be bought at wig supply stores or online. Use a liquid adhesive. Use a clean makeup brush to apply the adhesive in thin line along your entire hairline. If you use a soft bond adhesive, allow the glue to dry long enough to become tacky before applying the wig. If you use a hard bond adhesive, you can apply the wig immediately.
Apply the wig. Carefully pull the wig on. First, adjust the edge of the wig so that the hairlines match. Next, adjust the back of the wig so that it hangs naturally over your hair. Lastly, press the lace of the wig into your adhesive or wig tape.
Be sure that the wig is perfectly aligned before doing so. Style your hair. If your wig is made of human hair, you can use regular brushes, hot styling tools, and hair products.
If your wig is synthetic, avoid using regular brushes and hot styling tools. Instead, use a wide-toothed comb or wig brush to adjust your hair. Part 3. Take off your wig. First, remove any adhesives or tape with a commercial wig adhesive remover or regular baby oil. To do so, rub the remover along your hairline where the lace meets the adhesive.
Continue rubbing gently until the lace lifts away from your scalp. Do not pull the lace to remove it you will damage the wig. Wash the wig regularly. Depending on the manufacturer recommendations, your wig will need to be washed after wears.
First, brush any tangles from the wig. Next, shampoo and condition the wig in a sink filled with warm water. Place it on wig stand and let it dry completely before brushing or combing it. This will help wig last for months instead of weeks. Human hair can be washed with regular shampoo and conditioner. However, synthetic wigs require their own specialized shampoo and conditioner.
When not wearing your lace front wig, it's important that it is properly cared for to ensure it last as long as possible. Always keep your lace front wig out of direct sunlight when not being worn, this helps to prevent the color from fading. Also, make sure to store it in areas where little to no dust is present as well as away from areas of excess heat.
Front lace wigs may be stored on a synthetic head, or in a satin sealable bag to help control frizz and tangles. That means a side ponytail, fishtail braid, low bun or even free and loose are all great natural styling options that still achieve a natural look.
The price of a lace front wig varies on the quality, length, hair type and the distributor. Wigs made of human hair will cost more than synthetic wigs, and those from branded companies will be more costly than generic wigs.
