Lace front wigs have seemingly quickly become the favourite choice for 2025, offering flawless, beautiful, and stylish comfort when it comes to trying different hairstyles in their daily busy life.
There is one problem though; improper care or fitting of your wig can badly damage your natural hair.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a new lace user or a seasoned wearer; taking the right steps is important in protecting our natural hair – while also keeping your wig in topnotch condition.
Why lace front wigs are so great
Compared to traditional wigs, a lace front wig provides a sheer lace panel along the front hairline with hand-tied strands, creating a natural look and versatile styling options.
They’re also perfect for transforming your hairstyle without doing any damage to your natural hair – something which is essential for healthy natural hair growth.
How to prep your natural hair for using a wig
1. Cleanse & moisturise
Before applying a lace front wig, it is crucial to start with clean and well-moisturised hair.
Use a gentle shampoo to fully clean your scalp, remove dirt, and all other buildups to produce a healthy hair foundation.
2. Protect your hairline
Want to protect the edges of your hair? It’s essential to use a silk or satin scarf.
These smooth, gentle fabrics reduce the stress on the scalp and protect your natural hairline.
3. Keep your scalp healthy
A healthy scalp always plays an essential role in producing strong and beautiful hair.
To maintain your natural hair health, make sure to regularly remove any buildup left behind by your wig.
4. Protect your natural hair
Caring for your natural hair is very important, and it also plays an essential role in your wig’s health.
Want healthy growth? Always make sure to clean and trim the ends regularly to support your natural hair’s healthy growth.
How to put on a lace front wig: Step-by-step
1. Prep your scalp for flawless adhesion
Proper scalp prep makes sure that your lace front fits naturally on your scalp and stays secure the whole day without irritation.
For even better results, follow the steps below to create the perfect base for your wig.
Using a wig cap:
- Choose the right cap: Choose the nude mesh cap which naturally blends with your skin color for an invisible finish.
- Braid for flatness and volume: Always braid your natural hair into flat cornrows, which start at the front hairline and naturally go toward the crown. This pattern reduces bulk while creating natural volume for the wig.
2. Secure your wig like a stylist
Now that your base is ready, it’s time to expertly secure your lace front wig for a flawless, professional, and perfect finish.
Precision placement:
- Proper angle: Always hold the wig at a 45-degree angle, above your forehead, and then slowly lower it into the position to create a perfect fit.
- Align the lace: After choosing the right angle, now align the lace where your natural hairline starts, not where it is currently.
- Trim lace safely: Finally, use cuticle scissors for precision and leave about 1/8 inch of lace beyond your natural hairs.
3. Master-level blending techniques
Elevate your lace front wig game with these advanced blending tricks for a completely natural finish.
Lock it in:
- Lightly mist salt water 12 inches from your head to create a humidity-resistant hold.
- Always lock your upper hairline for great longevity.
