Here at Honest Hair Factory, we want all of our customers to feel confident rocking their lace front wigs wholesale. This complete guide will teach you everything you need to know to install and style your lace front like a pro!
Understanding Lace Front Construction
A lace front wig features a sheer lace frontal piece that extends ear to ear across the hairline. Individual strands of real human hair are tied onto the lace using a technique called "ventilating".
This close-to-the-skin application gives an incredibly natural, undetectable look. The lace allows breathability while the hair is tied on sturdily yet flexibly for various styling options.
Installation Methods
There are two main ways to install a lace front wig – using tape or adhesive.
| Method | Benefits | Application Tips |
|---|---|---|
| Tape | Removable, reusable | Lay strips of double-sided tape along hairline |
| Adhesive | More secure hold | Apply glue, blow dry until tacky before installing wig |
See our video tutorial below for a full visual guide on lace frontal installation.
Perfecting the Fit
For a natural look, the wig must seamlessly blend with your hairline. Here are some tips:
- Trim excess lace close to the hairline using small scissors or razors
- Pluck additional hairs from the frontal knots for realism
- Apply foundation or concealer to knots to match your skin
- Style baby hairs with mousse or gel for a natural swoop
Wig Styling Techniques
Play up your lace frontal's versatility with these heat-free styling methods:
- Big curls – Use flexible rods or sponge rollers overnight
