Lace Wig Information


You have gone through hundreds of lace wigs to finally choose the one that’s right for you and now you are ready to begin the application process but you are not quite sure if you should use lace front wig glue or tape.

This choice is a matter of personal preference. Both lace front wig glue and tape will give you professional results.

More lace front wig wearers tend to opt for lace front wig glue over tape as it holds longer. With most glue products you will get a 2 to 3 week hold time. Some even claim up to a 6 week hold.

If you lead an active lifestyle and workout on a regular basis, glue would be the better choice. It holds up better with perspiration and water activities such as swimming.

There are two types of lace front wig glue; water based and solvent based.

Solvent based may cause breakouts on skin that is sensitive because it contains chemicals.

Water based glue is better for sensitive skin and will still give you a strong hold for your lace wig. It just may not last quite as long.

Test a small area of the glue you decide to use on a sensitive area of your skin such as inside your wrist and let it sit for an hour or so to see if it causes any type of breakout before using it to apply your wig.

Another popular option for apply your wig is to use a combination of tape and lace front wig glue. The combination will give you a longer lasting, stronger hold.

Whichever option you choose, lace front wig glue or tape, be careful when applying it to your hairline as you do not want to damage your own hair during the application process.

Lace Wigs are a great way to change your look, hairstyle and hair color quickly, easily and often without damaging your natural hair.  You can have a different hairstyle everyday of the week if you choose.

Lace front wigs are becoming more and more popular as women realize what a great fashion accessory they are.  They are very versatile and virtually undetectable when applied correctly.

Many women choose to have their lace wigs applied by professionals because they fear they may destroy their hairpieces or damage their own hair if they attempt to apply it themselves.

This is somewhat understandable as lace wigs can be very costly depending on the type and style you have chosen.

However, lace front wig application is fairly simple and with a little practice you can be applying your wigs as good or better than the pros.

You can apply your hair piece using either lace wig tape which is a double sided clear tape or by using lace wig glue.

Because glue tends to be the more popular choice and provides a longer and stronger hold, the instructions listed below are for lace front wig application using glue.

Before beginning your lace wig application you want to prepare your hair by either braiding it or wrapping it so that the surface is as flat as possible for your wig to lay on.  The flatter the surface, the more natural your hair piece will look and feel. 

You also want to gather all the materials you need prior to starting.  This will include hair pins or clips, cotton balls or cosmetic sponges, alcohol, an eyebrow pencil and of course, your lace wig glue.  Now we are ready to begin.

Step 1 – Cleanse your forehead area with alcohol to remove all the dirt and oil from your skins surface.  The glue holds better on a clean oil free surface.

Step 2 – Pin the hairs of the wig back so that they do not get stuck in the glue during the application process.

Step 3 – Trim the excess lace off the wig.  Only cut off small amounts at a time as you do not want to ruin your wig.  Also be sure not to cut off the baby hairs.

Step 4 – Try the wig on and determine where you would like your hairline to be.  Once this is decided lightly outline the area with your eyebrow pencil.

Step 5 – Apply the glue where your hairline will be.  Let the glue dry before placing the wig on your head.  When the glue is sticky to the touch it is time to apply your hair piece.  Press the edges of the hair piece down using a tail comb.

For a more secure hold it is recommended that you tie a silk scarf around the perimeter of your head to help the hairpiece stay firmly in place until it is completely dry.

Follow these five simple steps and you will be applying your lace wigs like a professional in no time.
