How to Apply and Remove Human Hair Lace Wigs
Human Hair Wig Application Tips Using Adhesive:
1. Clip all hair and baby hair away from the edge of the wig toprevent hair from getting stuck in the bonding adhesive(s)when applying your full lace wig.
2. Carefully trim the lace around the hairline of the wig.Cut all the lace off right up to the hairline. For beginners, you may wish to leave a little of the lace (1/2") if you think it will beeasier to attach the wig to the glue or tape.
3. Braid hair in small cornrows, or tightly wrap your hair headfor a flat look.
4. Use alcohol 99% on a cotton pad and rub around entirehairline, to remove any oil that may be on your skin. Do not usea cotton ball as it will leave traces of cotton along the hairline.
5. Apply scalp protector to protect skin from adhesive. This process is great for people with sensitive skin. The skin protectorwill also help the adhesive stick to the skin in the event of contactwith moisture (ie. Humidity, swimming, sweating & work outs).
6. For those persons with hair, use a flesh tone wig cap to flatten andprotect your natural hair. Be sure to line it up with your hairline,so that, your own hair is completely covered. The flesh tone wigcap will create a scalp illusion. Make. To prevent the wig cap fromslipping back, allow the glue and/or tape to overlay onto thestocking cap, or loosely stitch the cap in place.
7.Apply a thin coat of the liquid adhesive (glue) around all the perimeter of your hairline using a flat wooden cosmetic stick or a small make-up brush.
8. Do not bond your front lace wig to wet glue because it will not stick well. Soft bond adhesive (ie. Ultra Hold) should have a “tacky” feel when dried. Hard bond adhesives such as Endurabond, doesnot require drying time because it dries immediately after beingapplied. When applying soft bond adhesive use a hair dryer for about five minutes to aide the drying process.
9. To make sure the front lace wig is aligned properly, bond the wig starting at the center of your front hairline. Press your wig down using afine tooth comb from one side to the other. If you have glue showing beyond the edges of the lace remove the excess glue usinga Q-Tip dabbed in 99%,if the wig is not aligned properly,place the Q-Tip between the lace and your skin to release the lacefrom its bond then re-adjust the lace the right way.
10. When you have completed the application procedure, tie down your hairline with a silk or satin scarf. This will allow the glue toset and dry properly. You may also sit under a dryer during thisstep to aide in the drying process. Applying Your front lace Wig or full lace wig Using Tape
1. Cut double sided wig tape into the desired length. Peel one sideof the tape to expose the adhesive and press to your skin aroundthe perimeter of your head below the hairline,leave small spaces.between the tape strips, to allow moisture to escape.
2.Place front lace wig or full lace wig on your head and position itso that the perimeter edge of the wig lines up with edge of the tape.
3. Pin back the wig hair, so that it does not get in the way during theattachment process.
4. Peel the tape backing off to reveal the adhesive. Beginning withthe front hairline, attach the wig to the forehead by pressing and holding it to the adhesive for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Repeat thesesteps for your nape and sides.
5.Once you have attached the wig to your skin, tie down your hairlinewith a silk or satin scarf to allow the tape to stick better to your skin.
