The difference between a wig that looks fake and one that looks like your real hair? It's not the price tag — it's the technique.
Here's exactly how to install and style your lace front wig so no one will ever know it's not yours.
Step 1: Prep Your Natural Hair First
Flat braids or a flat twist = flat base = flat wig cap = natural look.
Do this:
- Braid or twist your hair flat against your head
- Use a wig cap that matches your skin tone
- Smooth down any bumps with a stocking cap on top
Step 2: Cut the Lace Correctly
This is where most people go wrong. Cutting too much = exposed wefts. Too little = obvious lace line.
Do this:
- Use sharp scissors — never regular craft scissors
- Cut in a zigzag pattern along the hairline, not straight across
- Leave about 1–2mm of lace beyond the hairline
Step 3: Melt the Lace Into Your Skin
The secret to an undetectable hairline is melting the lace.
Do this:
- Apply got2b glued or wig adhesive along your hairline
- Press the lace down and hold for 30 seconds
- Use a blow dryer on low heat to melt and set the lace
- Press with a scarf for 10 minutes for maximum hold
Step 4: Customize the Hairline
A perfect hairline doesn't look perfect — it looks natural. Real hairlines have baby hairs and slight irregularities.
Do this:
- Use a small toothbrush and edge control to lay baby hairs
- Apply a tiny amount of foundation or concealer along the lace to match your skin
- Dust with translucent powder to set
Step 5: Style to Blend
The final step is styling your wig to match your natural texture and movement.
Do this:
- Use a flat iron or curling wand to add movement
- Toss and shake the hair for a lived-in look
- Finish with a light-hold spray — never crunchy products
