Tips on How to Wear Lace Wigs
- Make sure to wear a wig cap to secure your natural hair. It is advisable to wear a cap that is close to your skin tone.
- Don’t cut off all of the lace without wearing your wig first or at least knowing the shape of your hairline. If you cut all of the lace, you run the risk of not being able to customize your hairline as you need it.
- You can use adhesives that will work well depending on your purpose for wearing the lace wig. Some types you can use are spirit gum, lace tape, or lace glue.
- For a more natural look, you can use makeup like concealer or eyeshadow to lighten, shade, or blend the lace wig to your natural skin tone.
