*Preparation 

Pick a 360 lace wig cap, this will work for any type of wig that is a lace wig. The unprocessed wig’s grids are very visible, the knots are showing. This is how your wig will start when you take it straight out the box normally. We will transform this and every step that we do is very important. The first thing to do is apply the wig inside out onto a canvas head and we're going to remove the combs from the inside of the cap. Because if you leave them there, it will not look natural. The easiest way to remove combs is to take a razor and cut right through at the threads. This will ensure that you will not put a hole in your lace. Make sure that you bleach the knots on your wig, do not skip this step, it is very important to make the fake scalp method work properly. Bleaching the knots and let it sit for 30 minutes and then rinse. The next step is optional. You can tweeze the hairline to make it look more natural. If your hairline around the front is too thick, you're not going to see the fake scalp method through all of the hair. You probably want to take the time and do this depending on what your preference is, it could take anywhere from an hour to two to three hours. But this step is optional, you do not have to do it. If your wig is wet, dry it before you do this method. Blow-dry the hair and styling the wig on a mannequin head, it’ll help you to get a quicker application, especially if you’re in a rush the next day, then your wig will be already prepared. Add some curls to the wig. make sure that the curls are already done when it's time to apply them to your hair, you don't have to do anything to it except to put it on and go. That's the convenience of styling your wig on a mannequin rather than on your head. 

*The Fake Scalp Method

First, get some knee-highs. The fake scalp method with the knee-highs is the best combo because they come in multiple colors. You can find these knee-highs at any drugstore or any place. Put that cap on the mannequin inside out and then apply this stocking cap over the whole wig. Use a setting spray, spray it all over the cap where the hairline starts and where the rest of the cap of the lace in the front is. Blow-dry it to make sure it's nice and secure and then take another layer of setting spray and spray it again. When you're applying the bold stocking cap. This is almost the same method, but it's on the wig instead, which makes it less messy and a lot easier to do. Cutaway all the extra cap that you don't need. The best thing about applying the cap to the wig instead of your head is that if you have multiple wigs, you can prep your wigs before wearing them, which will save you a lot more time. It looks good, it blends with that lace perfectly. Make sure your knee-high matches your scalp color, then add more setting spray to get rid of the edges from the cap and then blow dry it down some more. and it’ll be very secure and it's not going anywhere. The only con you can get with this is that the hairline will be a little bit stiff, but that is not an issue, all you have to do is brush it back, do not apply water, because water will remove it. As you brush the edges and also style it a little bit, the hardness will loosen up, so that's nothing to worry about. If your wig cap is already applied to the wig, all you have to do is glue it down. One less step you have to worry about during your application process, take the wig glue and glue it to the front of your hair. It’ll blend with the stocking cap, the lace, and your skin. This method helps the wig glue feel a lot more secure than applying it to your skin in place as long as you clean away any residue of oil around your hairline.
