Q&A for How to Apply a Lace Front Wig

If you have a lot of hair, put it into two french braids and wrap these tightly against your head.

I wouldn't recommend using PVA glue. It could damage the lining and lace of the wig. Double-sided tape would be fine, although it might be irritating to your skin.

It goes in front of your hair. Don't put adhesive in your hair as it will rip your hair out when you try to remove it.

Trim the lace around the hairline. I've also tucked it under the hairline, which works if you're nervous about cutting it.

Lace wigs are made to wear for several hours but can be worn longer with proper care. Generally, when applied properly, they can be worn for two days at a time without the need to reapply.

You can buy one at a wig shop or online. You could use a site like Amazon, but you might find a higher quality (and more expensive) wig on a specialty site.

Yes.

You may, but it will eventually damage your hair and scalp.

Don't cut the baby hairs off. Try to cut the lace before you cut the baby hairs (meaning cut the lace right before the baby hairs start). It's always good to cut the lace on your head so you know where to cut and to make sure to not cut too short.

You will need the glue or adhesive to help the wig stick to your hairline.

You can try Amazon, Lazada, Alibaba or Ebay. There are also physical stores and department stores that sell wigs.

Wearing a wig cap between your natural hair and wig can help protect your natural hair. You'd better flatten your hair before putting on your wig, which makes your wig looks flat and more natural.

The best combination would be to use the wig fix and Ghost Bond glue. The wig fix helps the wig stay on securely and the Ghost Bond glue glues it in place. It should last for up to 9 days and is super easy to reapply. I recommend using both in unison, because using a lot of the glue is messy and can be damaging over time.

There are usually straps around the inside cap of the wig, and you can tighten/loosen them depending on the size of your head. I've never been brave enough to wear a wig in an updo, though.

Yes, but do not fully submerge your head. That’s going to cause issues with the way the wig lays down on your cap.

Yes, for some type of lace front wig caps, they leave a piece of lace on the nape for you to use adhesive to help the wig stay in place, this helps especially when people want to put the wig into a ponytail. If there's no lace on your wig cap on the back, combs and bobby pins can help, or sew your wig to your head around the nape.

A glueless front lace wig means you can wear without using glues. This kind of wigs often have a wig cap with sew-in combs and an adjustable strap on the nape help you to secure your wig instead of using glue.

It creates a realistic-looking hairline. Regular wigs do not create the illusion of a hairline, but a lace-front wig does.

Lace wigs are made to wear for several hours, but can be worn longer with proper care. Generally, when applied properly, they can be worn for two days at a time without the need to reapply.

You can use bobby pins or wig pins to keep the wig on your head. However, if applied around the hairline on the front, they will most likely be visible. It is better to use wig pins about half an inch in, in order to secure it but it may not guarantee that the front will lay flat.

I usually put the wig on and then style it. There’s no way you can put on a styled wig as the wig would mess up when applying.
