Instructions for attaching the Lace Wig
1 Gather your application products and line up for easy access. Prepare your hair by wrapping,
pin curling or braiding your own hair.
2 Clip back all the baby hairs on your wig to avoid cutting them by mistake. By applying fray block
(optional) this will prevent your wig from fraying and also extend the life of your wig.
3 Carefully cut extra lace around the perimeter of the wig to where the hair is knotted, being careful not
to cut into the baby hairs. Take your time with this process, as you do not want to cut too much off. We
recommend cutting a little at a time.
4 Apply alcohol or cleanser with a make up sponge to cleanse your skin around the edges of your
natural hairline. The aim is to remove all excess oils from your skin. We recommend a make up sponge
instead of cotton balls, as the cotton ball will sometimes leave traces of the cotton in your hairline. Apply
scalp protector to area to be bonded. Allow to dry.
5 Position the lace wig on your head. Use an eyebrow pencil; lightly trace the hairline of the wig onto
your forehead, this will help you to apply your wig exactly where it looks most natural.
6 Using an application brush to apply adhesive just beyond your hairline as instructed by the lace wig
adhesive manufacturer. Once the glue is ready (this will depend on the glue type) position lace wig on
your head with hairline rolled back. Starting at the middle point of your forehead, bond wig to head by
pressing down on one side, then the other, using the end of a tail comb. Bond front hairline first for lace
front wigs, then the nape for full lace wigs. Use the back end of comb to press harder further securing
lace front wig onto hairline. Allow time for glue to completely cure/dry before styling.
7 Tie the edges of hair with a silk or satin scarf until the glue has set.
8 Application with Adhesive/Tapes - Prepare the lace wig, hair and skin as previously mentioned above.
9 Cut the tape into desired shapes and attach firmly around the perimeter of your wig.
10 Position the wig on your head. Remove the backing of the tape in sections, a little at a time. Starting
from the middle of the forehead, firmly press tape into skin with a tail comb.
11 Do not comb hair until adhesive has set.
