Alrighty! Here’s some lace front info! (We hope this helps c: )

Lace front wigs are just wigs that are meant to give you a natural looking hairline that other wigs can’t

There are nicely priced lace fronts over at Arda Wigs but they require styling. If you’d like to find a tutorial on how to curl wigs, there is a video under ‘cosplay tips’ on how to do so.

For glue, you can simply look up lace front glue and bottles average around 10 or so dollars.

Under the cut is how to put on a lace front wig.

• Try the wig on before cutting off the additional lace at the front. You need to leave a little extra lace on the front to catch the glue. Cutting the lace too short creates a bad fit and pull.

• Clean the skin on your face   , making sure to get into the hairline, using a non-oily soap. If you use moisturizer, be sure to stop about 1 inch away from your hairline. Wait a few moments to make sure your skin is completely dry before beginning.

• Pull your hair away from from your face and secure it to  your scalp with hair pins in pin curls.
•  Put the wig cap on.
•  Grasp the lower back edge of the wig foundation with both hands. You might want to lean forward a bit, especially if the wig is long. Slide it up over the forehead until the hairpiece’s hair line is about an inch or two from where you want it to be. Then pull the piece down over the rest of the head.
•  Slide it back farther until it is in the correct position, just in front of your natural hairline, using both hands.
•  Trim the lace back matching its shape to the shape of your own hairline. Be careful not over trim, it is necessary to have a strip of lace to adhere to the skin.
•  Use pins the same color as the wig and gently push them through the hair of the wig, through the base of the wig, through the skull cap and into the pin curls.
•  Lift the lace netting off the skin by gently folding it up and back. Apply a thin layer of adhesive around the perimeter of your hairline. Wait a few moments for the adhesive to become sticky. Unfold and press the lace netting into the line of glue on your skin
