Whether a novice or a seasoned wig wearer, this guide is your roadmap to achieving a secure and stunning look. Let's journey to unravel the art of lace front wig attachment so you can easily rock your favourite styles. 

 

 

Understanding Lace Front Wigs 

Before we dive into the nitty-gritty of securing your lace front wig, let's take a moment to understand what these wigs are all about. Lace front wigs are a fantastic choice for those women seeking a natural and realistic look. They feature a sheer lace front that mimics the appearance of a natural hairline, making it nearly impossible for anyone to detect that you're wearing a wig. But, to maintain this illusion, proper attachment is crucial. 

 

Preparing Your Natural Hair

The foundation for a secure lace front wig lies in your natural hair. Here's what you need to do:

 

Clean and dry your hair

Start thoroughly washing your hair and scalp. Make sure your hair is completely dry before you proceed. Any moisture can lead to mold or mildew under the wig cap. 

 

Braid or cornrow your hair

Consider braiding your hair or creating cornrows close to your scalp if your hair is long. This provides a flat surface for the wig to adhere to and helps distribute the weight evenly. 

 

Use a wig cap

Place a wig cap over your natural hair. This keeps your hair in place and protects your scalp from potential irritation. 

 

Securing the Lace Front Wig

Now, let's get to the heart of the matter - securing your lace front wig with finesse. 

 

Adhesive options

There are various adhesive options available, including wig glue, wig tape, and adhesive sprays. Choose the one that suits your comfort level and the longevity you desire. Apply a thin, even adhesive layer along your hairline, starting from the center and working outwards. 

 

Attach the wig

Carefully align the lace front of your wig with your natural hairline. Press it down gently into the adhesive. Ensure that it sits snugly and comfortably on your scalp. 

 

Secure the back

To secure the back of your lace front wig, you can use additional adhesive or wig tape. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific product you're using.

Maintaining a Secure Fit

Securing your lace front wig is one thing, but keeping it secure throughout the day is equally important. Here are some tips:

 

Avoid excessive sweating

Sweating can weaken the adhesive. To prevent this, use an antiperspirant on your forehead or consider using a sweatband. 

 

Invest in wig grips

Wig grips are a fantastic accessory that can help keep your wig (as known as toupee) in place. They provide additional security and prevent slipping. 

 

Regular checks

Periodically check the edges of your lace front wig throughout the day. If you notice any lifting, gently press it back into place. 

 

Removing Your Lace Front Wig

[Properly removing your lace front wig is essential to avoid damaging it or your natural hair. 

 

Use a wig adhesive remover

Apply a wig adhesive remover along the edges of your lace front wig. This will gently loosen the adhesive. 

 

Gently lift the wig

Once the adhesive has softened, gently lift the wig from your scalp, starting at one corner and working your way around. 

 

Clean and store

Clean your wig and store it on a wig stand to maintain its shape.

Additional Tips for a Secure Lace Front Wig

Securing your lace front wig goes beyond just adhesive and preparation. Here are some additional tips to ensure your wig stays in place and looks flawless:

 

Choose the right wig

The type of lace front wig you choose can significantly affect how secure it feels. Opt for a wig that fits your head size snugly but not too tightly. Many lace front wigs come with adjustable straps for a customized fit. 

 

Proper wig sizing

When purchasing a lace front wig, measure your head correctly. A properly sized wig will sit more securely on your head, reducing the chances of shifting. 

 

Consider wig clips

Wig clips are small, comb-like accessories you can sew into your hair systems (also commonly known as men’s human hair wigs, hair toupees, hair units, and men’s hairpieces). These clips can be strategically placed around the perimeter of your wig for added security. Just be sure to position them in a way that doesn't cause discomfort. 

 

Use a wig band

A wig band, also known as a wig grip or wig cap, can be worn underneath your wig. It provides a comfortable barrier between your scalp and the wig and helps keep the wig in place. Some wig bands are designed with silicone strips to prevent slipping. 

 

Practice good wig maintenance

Proper care and maintenance of your lace front wig can extend its lifespan and ensure it remains secure. Regularly clean and condition your wig. Avoid excessive heat styling, as it can weaken the wig's structure.
