How To Apply Lace Wigs Fast And Easy For Beginners
Inside the lace wig, it has one comb on each side, one comb in the back and also an adjustable strap which you can use to help keep the wig in place. To begin wearing lace wigs, the first thing you need to do is apply the elastic band to the wig and do that by taking the band placing it behind one of your ears. Then gently stretching it until it feels tight but not uncomfortable on your head.
Bringing that elastic band to the other ear and the excess part that needs to be snipped off. You can try to mark that off, then cut at the line.
You are going to place the band where at the bottom of the sideburns are on the wig, with a needle and thread attached to each end of the elastic band.
Once secure, the next step cut the thread and make a few knots so it won't come undone, then clip off the hanging string.
What you want to do next is cut off the lace from the perimeter of the wig which is really simple, just cut right along the hairline getting as close as you can to where the hair starts. Make sure not to cut off any of the actual hair.
After you have attached the elastic band then cut the lace. Before you wear your hairpieces, you’d better wash the wigs, you can use your favorite shampoo and conditioner. If you do not hurry, usually let the wig air-dry overnight. If you don’t, a hairdryer will do!
Before putting on a wig you want to make sure your actual hair underneath is as flat as possible. You’d better cornrow your real hair, match up the natural part with the wig parting. You can try finished style have a side part so doing the cornrows, taking that into account and making that side part.
Next, sectioning off a tiny bit of your edges and do this all around the front, which helps blend the wig and make it look more natural. Then you can go ahead and start braiding.
Once you have edged out and hair is braided and flat, take a few of those hairpins and pin up the ends of cornrows. Placing a black stocking cap on top to protect your hair underneath.
Now take the wig and line up the wig part with a pre-made part, bringing it right up to where you left out the edges. Position the elastic band at the bottom of the head so that the wig will lay flush and help keep it from shifting. Use the combs on the side to keep the sides from lifting as well right.
Next, taking a blow-dryer on medium and using that to flatten the top of the wig right around the party, to help it looks like the hair is coming from your scalp and not just sitting on top of it.
Once that is taken care of, applying some gel to the edges that you left out then brush them back, to smooth them and blend that in with the wig.
Here is a little trick to make lace look super undetectable at the start of the wig, take a tiny dab of gel and place it at the line of demarcation.
Next using the tail of the comb, pressing down the lace all around the parting. In this case, it blends with your scalp well and it's sure not to lift.
Set hair and keep the front sleek smooth and flat, tying it down within each scarf, keep this on for at least half an hour.
With your edges set, in order to make the parting look a bit more realistic, for that, you can use some concealer and dab all along with the parties. Blend it in with your fingers.
Finally, the last step for the part, take some black eyeshadow to fill in the gaps between your hair and the wig just to get everything to look blended and seamless.
When the part is done, all that's left is to shape and fluff the hair out according to your preference.
That’s all easy and simple process for applying lace wigs without having to pluck or doing a lot of customization. It's just easy to install easy to remove easy all around.
