Lace Wig Installation Guide


Step 1: Scalp Preparation


  • Image: Clean scalp & product preparation
  • Wash your scalp and hairline with soap and water to remove oil, sweat, and residue.
Make sure the application area is completely clean and dry.
Spray Scalp Protector directly onto your hairline to create a protective barrier and improve adhesion.
Using a brush, apply a thin layer of adhesive to the areas where the wig will be attached.
Blow-dry the adhesive using the cool air setting for about 30 seconds until it becomes slightly tacky.



Step 2: Secure the Front Hairline

  • Place the front edge of the wig along your natural hairline.

  • Press firmly with both hands for at least 60 seconds to ensure a strong bond.

  • Attach the sides of the wig to the matching areas on your scalp and press again for another 60 seconds on each side.




Step 3: Trim the Lace (First Use Only)

Skip this step if the lace has already been pre-trimmed by the manufacturer.

  • Put the wig on your head and adjust it into the correct position.

  • Use hair clips to pull the hair back, exposing the lace edge.

  • Carefully trim off the excess lace along your natural hairline.

  • Do not cut into the hair knots or hairline.




Step 4: Protect Your Skin

  • Dampen a cotton ball with isopropyl alcohol and gently clean the skin along your hairline to remove any remaining oils.

  • If you have sensitive skin, apply a thin layer of Scalp Protector along the hairline (optional but recommended).




Step 5: Apply Adhesive & Attach the Wig

  • Apply your favorite edge control or styling gel to lay down your natural edges.

  • Using a small makeup brush, apply a thin, even layer of adhesive along the entire hairline:

    • Soft bond adhesive: Wait until the glue becomes clear and tacky before attaching the wig.

    • Hard bond adhesive: Attach the wig immediately, as it bonds instantly.

  • Start attaching the wig from the center of the forehead, then gently press the lace down along the hairline toward both sides.

  • Secure the wig combs (if included) into your hair—do not pull too tight.




Step 6: Adjust & Style

  • Pull the wig down gently and adjust for comfort and alignment.

  • Use a flat iron to lightly press the top for a smoother, more natural finish.

  • Press along the hairline edges for about 5 seconds to ensure full adhesion.

  • Style the wig as desired.


Pro Tip:


To find the perfect center, part the wig hair down the middle. The center of the wig hairline should align with the center of your forehead for the most natural look.
