How to Attach Human or Synthetic Hair Lace Wig with Glue
Whether human hair or synthetic hair lace wig can be attached using one of two methods: glue or adhesive tape,we instructed how to apply with adhesive tape in last article yesterday. Most women feel that using glue will provide a better, firmer hold--nobody wants to worry about whether their wig will slip off sometimes. Apply a full lace wig with glue can be done at home by a few simple steps:
Things needed to be prepared in advance:Wig glue,Small brush,Scalp protector,Scissors,Hair dryer.
Steps:
1.Make sure that the skin below your hairline is hairless, clean and free of styling products and oils. This is where you will attach your full lace wig, and prepping the area can ensure hold firmly.
2.Cut the lace of the wig back to the hairline, being careful not to cut any hair off the full lace wig. To see where you need to cut, position the wig(full lace wig or lace front wig) on your head in front of your hairline. If you match the wig up with your hairline, then your hair will get glue this time.
3.Clean and dry your face and neck,this is the area to prep for application of a scalp protector..
4.Apply a scalp protector below your hairline and let it dry completely. This is optional, but will provide maximum adhesion for your full lace wig, as well as protect your scalp and the perimeter of your head from the glue. You can buy scalp protector at any beauty supply shop or online store, or find it from the same retailer where you bought your wig.
5.Use a small eyeshadow brush or the brush included with the glue to apply it below the hairline, where the front of the lace wig will be.
6.Dry the glue for at least 30 to 45 seconds with a blow dryer that’s on a cool setting. The purpose of this is to make the glue tacky, which will provide better adhesion. Depending upon which brand of glue you use, this can take 15 mins.
7.Press the front hairline of the wig to your skin where the glue has been applied, and press down firmly until the lace wig stays in place on its own--this can take up to one full minute. Repeat this process for the nape and sides of the lace wig too.
8.Wait at least 15 minutes for the glue to dry before trying to style your wig. If you try to style it too soon, the lace wig will be moved out of place seriously.
