You are wondering how to install a 360 lace frontal yourself? The following necessary steps will allow you to create a natural stylish hairstyle on your head with a 360 lace frontal closure.

What is 360 Lace Frontal?

360 lace frontals are the latest trend in hair extensions and weave. 360 Lace Frontals are basically full lace closures that are designed to fit over the entire surface of the head. While the regular lace frontal closures are only installed on the front of the head, a 360 lace frontal goes all the way around the head, leaving a round opening in the center. The 360 lace fronts were designed to cut armor setup time by hours.

When using a 360 front closure, gives you more flexibility with styles, saves time and money as it requires fewer wefts or hair bundles, and creates full natural hairlines around the entire scalp. 

How To Apply 360 Lace Frontal?

The best thing about 360 lace frontals is that they can be used as a quick closure for a seam or they can be worn on their own to create a natural, quick weave in under an hour. So can I sew in 360 lace frontal with bundles at home? Surely you can, but we do think you need someone to help you complete a perfect application, then follow the below steps:

1. Prepare Tools

Surely, to sew in 360 lace frontal on your head, the below items you need to prepare before starting applying:

• 360 Lace Frontal & 2-3 Hair Weaves/Bundles

• Wig Cap (If there is no cap on the top of your frontal)

• Thread

• C-Curve Needle

• Scissor

• Bonding Glue

• Hair Dryer

• Styling Tools & Products (comb, hairspray, oil, etc.)

2. Styling Your 360 Lace Frontal

Before installing the frontal to your head, you can style it to make a more suitable hairstyle for yourself. You can also pluck hairs of the 360 lace frontal from the roots of your forehead hair, bleach knots, or dye lace to better match your skin tone. What’s more, you can perm or dye the human hair lace frontal and bundles you are going to apply. 

3. Prepare Your Natural Hair

Similar to install all weaves and lace closure, you should prepare your natural hair first. It means washing, conditioning, and trimming your real hair. Then braiding your natural hair down and interlocking the braids to create a nice flat foundation to work with. Interlock the braids in the back and then sew the little tail which sticks out up to the main braids. 

4. Put On A Wig Cap

Put on the stocking cap on your head, this will act as an illusion of the scalp. Make sure to choose the right wig cap size which will not too tight or too loose and can cover all your hair well. While if your 360 lace frontal comes with a cap on the top, you can just put on the frontal to braids directly, no need single cap anymore. 

5. Put On Your 360 Lace Frontal

Apply your 360 frontal lace and carefully position it in the desired area along your hairline, it gives you coverage from the front of the hairline to the mid-shaft of your hair. Once again, the 360 goes all the way around in the circle, so you have coverage in the front, on the sides, all the way in the back, coming around to the next side. So for a visual, what it's going to do for your backside is give you coverage from the back of the hairline to the mid of the shaft, from the top of the ear to mid-shaft, vice versa on the other side.

You need to make sure that you pull the hair up, so you can know exactly where you need to stop, and then you need to pull it back a little bit as we want more of her baby hair showing. Remember that you don't want to extend it over and make it look like it's too much in the front when you're putting on the closure. Another thing that's helpful is the hair will get in your way a lot, it's okay if you need to flip it up because before you start cutting you want to make sure that you see everything and it fits perfectly to how it's convenient. So you need to make sure that you bend the ear and it fits around the ear because that dick is made to go behind the ears not made to go in front of it or behind it.

6. Cut The Extra Lace Off

Next, take a pair of scissors and cut off the excess from the top of the wig. Start to cut the lace from the hairline. As we have baby hair cover the hairline as well, you need to make sure you don't cut the baby hairs off and go about a half-inch over where the baby hairs are, that's how you're going to ensure that the lace is going to stay down and you're not actually taking any of the baby hairs off. After making the desired changes to your 360 frontal on the front, you may need to trim the excess lace from the back of the wig.

7. Sew In Your Lace Frontal On Braids

Once the frontal 360 is in the right place, sew it along the outside of the upper wig cap. Take the needle and thread and sew the lace frontal, wig cap and braids together using large stitches in a circle around the crown of your head.

Now go to start sewing down your frontal with no attached cap from the two sides, make sure that you do grab the braid not the cap, then sew the ends of the lace on the top and you can basically connect it from the top to the bottom (something like you are stitching a room and want the room to be closed). And if you have a 360 lace frontal with the cap on the top, you also need to sew the frontal to the braids around the edge of the top cap. Regardless of the sewing method, make sure that the frontal is firmly fixed on the head.

8. Glue Down The Frontal 

After installing the 360 lace frontal, you are ready to start gluing the wefts in the remaining circular area. You can prepare this area first by spraying it with hairspray, or you can just start gluing the rails. Before you apply your adhesive make sure that you do clean the area and apply a protective. Use clips to keep hair out of your way, then take is a little bit of glue on your hand, or the toothbrush, or whatever you feel is necessary for you to apply the glue on the hairline area. 

Laying The Frontal

The first thing you are going to do is start from the front and then press it down using a lot of pressure going from side to side. Have your client hold lace on the front while you are applying glue to the sides. Use a blow dryer to warm the area applied glue, which will help the glue dry to the cap. 

Laying The Back

If we completed the front side, go to do the same exact thing with the backside. Another key point to this is, if they have an extended hairline in the back, you can always use the glue to push up that hair under the 360 lace front, so instead of it being out when you glue it. Apply pressure to lace to secure glue, customize hairline to your liking, and use a blow dryer every 10-12 seconds for 8-10 minutes to ensure the glue is dry.

Laying Around The Ear

Only need one layer of glue to secure lace, take 5-7 minutes to dry completely, watch for lift-ups around the ear. 

9. Install The Bundles On The Top

Once all of the tracks have been glued in place, now it is time to sew in the bundles on the crown of the head. Usually, two bundles are enough, if you want a more fuller looked, we definitely recommend two a half or three bundles. But typically, with 360 lace frontal, we don't need many bundles because you want to be able to pull the hair up that's the whole point of the frontal. 

10. Finishing

Now that you have fixed 360 Lace Frontal on your natural hair, you can make some small adjustments to make the whole hairstyle look more natural, such as spraying some hair care products or doing some simple cutting.
