Full lace wig installation: Glue-in method

Step 1: Preparation

The first thing you need to do is to wash your hair. It needs to be clean and oil-free before the installation. After washing, dry it thoroughly. You can let the hair air dry if you have time, or use a blow dryer. Nothing is worse than damp hair under full lace wig as it is an excellent environment for the harmful bacteria to grow.

Secondly, you want to braid your hair into a cornrow. The reason for that is a clean and flat surface underneath the hair cap. If you don’t braid your hair or make your real hair neat and tight underneath that cap, they can get tangled and shed quickly. Furthermore, braiding helps you avoid all the lumps and bumps, which reveals that you are wearing a wig. Finally, wear a hair cap to tame everything down.

Step 2: Trim the lace

It’s time for some final trimming. The principal is simple: cut the lace where it is visible. You only have to do it the first time you buy. So try to be careful with that.

Take small, sharp scissors to trim the lace. Be cautious and trim as close to the hairline as possible. You do not want any lace shown through the hair. Cut a small amount at a time so that you can achieve the precision you want.

Step 3: Installation

Then, you can spray a little scalp protecting product on your hair. The product acts as a protective barrier between the scalp and the adhesive. If your skin is sensitive, clean the skin gently with a cotton round damped with light alcohol. This removes any excess oil you may have that prevents the adhesive from sticking properly

You can apply a thin layer of adhesive around your hairline to prep for the installation. Use a hairdryer to let the adhesive set for around 30 seconds. The adhesive is ready when it becomes a little tacky.

Now, it’s time to put on the wig. Start with the middle front of the wig. Place that exactly when you want it to be. Press the part down firmly and hold for around 1 minute. Be patient and wait for the front middle part to set.

After that, grab the two sides and pull them far from each other. The point of that is to keep the hairline as flat as if it is your real hairline. Stick the sides on and continue to hold them for 1 minute. Once you are done setting the front hairline, adjust the back so that the wig can fit you properly.

For the final touch, you can adjust the parting and the baby hair to look natural. Comb the hair through and do any styling you want. A flat iron may come in handy if you want to smooth down the top part to mimic your real hair.
