Styling as desired with cornrows, braids, or a sleek ponytail and tucking your hair under the wig cap, to create a smooth flat surface for your wig to be placed on.
Using a freeze hairspray or styling gel to secure the cap in place, then blow your hairline dry to hold the cap solidly. afterward, use a pair of scissors to cut off excess lace cap fabric just above your hairline.
Wipe the skin around your hairline with topical alcohol or an alcohol pad just along the area where should be glued. This can remove skin oil and makeup residues, place your lace front wig on your head and align it properly to the shape of your head.
Using a rat-tail comb, part the hair just above your ear. Thereafter, use scissors or a razor to cut out the excess around your ear and hairline. A pro tip for applying the glue is by dotting it on the hairline or placing a thin glue line and smoothing it out. Be careful not to apply the glue on your skin but directly on the wig cap.
Use a blow dryer to blow dry your edges, until the glue looks clear and a tad bit tacky, not dry. Apply a second layer of glue and repeat this step not only for a stronger hold, but this would make it easier for the lace to melt flawlessly into your scalp. Pull the lace forward right carefully where the glue matches your hairline and press the lace into the glue. Besides, go in with the back of a comb to press down the adhesive and the unit together. Wipe off any excess glue on your forehead or hairline edges using topical alcohol.
Gently brush the baby hairs down and away from the hairline. Separate the strands creating fine, subtle swirls.For textured hair, apply Got2b gel to the baby hairs. Work the styling product into the hair, smoothing out any frizz or flyaways. use your finger to press the hair down into position and help guide the hair into a swoop-like effect.
Afterward, use a scarf or band to tie down your lace front for about 10-15 minutes. This would melt the lace perfectly. Finally, go in with a blow dryer to get everything sealed and secured. Then, you can go in with a hot comb to lay down the lace front, and design any style you want.
