How to put lace front wigs on
Evaluate the wig’s fit
Ensure the wig fits correctly before adding any chemicals. Put the wig on your forehead and align it with your receding hairline to do this. You might have to tweak the wig’s internal adjusting straps for a perfect fit. Contact the company for assistance if the wig isn’t fitting and there are no adjusting straps.
The wig is excessively tight if you can feel a circle of stress on your head. Gently adjust the straps.
Suppose the wig is too loose if it will move around as you turn your head. Straps should be tightened.
Trimming:
- Trim the lace to the desired length.
- Trim the lace after your wig is correctly fitted.
- Pull your hair out of the face with a couple of clips.
- Trim the lace over your hairline with keen pinking scissors.
- At least leave around 1/8 inch (3 mm) of lace behind.
You’ll just have to do this the initial time you put the wig on. [3] Some wigs may not require trimming before use. An extra lace at the front of the wig is less to non-existent in these wigs. Pinking shears are available at sewing supply stores.

Next, remove the wig and set it aside. Check what part of the wig will fit the hairline and what part will fit the nape of your neck.
Wig tape:
Use wig tape and apply it evenly across your hairline. Remove the foam padding and gently press the sticky tape across your hairline. To remove any loose gaps ensure all the tapes are touching.
Use liquid glue:

Apply the wig:
