Gather your application products for easy access and prepare your own hair by either braiding into small cornrows or wrapping your hair tightly. The main objective is to get your hair as flat as possible.
Step 2
Pin and clip all hairs (especially baby hairs) away from the edges of the wig’s perimeter.
Step 3
Carefully cut extra lace around the perimeter of the wig up to where the hair is knotted, being careful not to cut into baby hairs.
Step 4
Position wig on your head leaving enough room at your hairline to prep your skin. OPTIONAL: use a stocking or wig cap in a color that closely matches your skin tone. These caps help create the illusion of a scalp and minimize the grid pattern of the lace.
Step 5
Apply alcohol with a cotton ball or paper towel to clean skin around the edges of your natural hairline. You want to remove all excess oils from your skin.
Step 6
Apply scalp protector to skin in cleaned areas.
Step 7
Using an application stick or q-tip, apply adhesive just beyond your hairline as instructed by the adhesive manufacturer. Once the glue is ready (this will depend on the glue type), press the lace down to your skin with the end of a tail comb.
Step 8
Repeat procedures around the perimeter of your head in small sections. If you need to make any adjustments, use alcohol or lace release on a q-tip to re-apply the affected areas.
Step 9
Tie edges with a silk scarf until glue has fully cured (optional).
