Natural Hair Care

The great thing about wearing a wig unit, unlike a traditional sewin, you still have easy access to care for your natural hair. Before applying your wig unit you want to be sure that you prep your hair. Most people do this by moisturizing their hair, braiding it down, and then placing a wig cap on top.

Cutting The Lace

Cutting the lace can be the most difficult part of installing your unit if you are not first properly equipped with the knowledge of how to do it. First, you want to take scissors and cut down the middle of lace front until you meet the hairline and customize the lace by cutting the ear tabs to where it fits comfortably around your earline. Then you want to take an eyebrow razor and Trim the rest of the hairline being sure that your are not cutting any baby hairs. It is also important that you do not cut your lace in a straight line (This will give off the natural hairline illusion).

Test Your Adhesive

Wearing a frontal unit that is glueless can also take a lot of maintenance with continuing to make sure its laid down throughout the day. We love convenience so sometimes a glueless unit may not be the right fit for you. Glueless units also have the convenience of being able to be taken off every night however which will definitely keep up the longevity of your unit. There are many options available to fit all types of needs. Option 1: Use adhesive. It is suggested that you always test your adhesive for the first time before using it as some adhesives react different to different skin types. PRO TIPS: apply an even layer of adhesive about inch or less above hairline. Be sure not to get any adhesive in front of where lace will be placed. Ensure all baby hairs have been tamed and none are in the way. Glue unit down before cutting lace. Once placement of wig has been done wrap hairline with a scarf for about 15 -20 minutes and let the lace and adhesive melt into the scalp. Once lace is fully dried and melted use your edge brush to comb and place baby hairs where you would like them. Option 2: another alternative could be purchasing a closure unit. closure units are a girls best friend as it still gives off that lovable realistic illusion without the high maintenance of a glueless frontal and without having to apply adhesive if you have no idea where to start.
