Luxurious Hair BoutiquePaula Legore (297)     The Luxurious Hair Boutique How To Apply Install A Full Lace Front WigPosted Monday, January 05, 2009 (321 days 14 hours ago.) Viewed 1,110 times. Lace Front Wig application with liquid adhesive First things first...PREPARATION ... PREPARATION ... PREPARATION!!! -Gather your application products and line then up for easy access. Prepare your hair by wrapping, pin curling or braiding your own hair. -Clip back all the baby hairs on your unit to avoid cutting them by mistake. By applying fray block (optional) this will prevent your unit from fraying and also extend the life of your unit. -Carefully cut extra lace around the perimeter of the wig to where the hair is knotted, being careful not to cut into the baby hairs. Take your time with this process, as you do not want to cut too much off. We recommend cutting a little at a time. -Apply alcohol or cleanser with a make up sponge to cleanse your skin around the edges of your natural hairline. The aim is to remove all excess oils from your skin. We recommend a make up sponge VS the cotton ball, as the cotton ball will sometimes leave traces of the cotton in your hairline. Apply scalp protector to area to be bonded. Let dry. -Position the lace wig on your head. Use an eyebrow pencil; lightly trace the hairline of the wig onto your forehead, this will help you to apply your unit exactly where it looks most natural. Using an application brush to apply adhesive just beyond your hairline as instructed by the lace wig adhesive manufacturer. Once the glue is ready (this will depend on the glue type) position lace wig on your head with hairline rolled back. Starting at the middle point of your forehead, bond wig to head by pressing down on one side, then the other, using the end of a tail comb. Bond front hairline first for lace front wigs, then the nape for full lace wigs. Use the back end of comb to press harder further securing lace front wig onto hairline. Allow time for glue to completely cure/dry before styling. (Usually 24 hours) Tie the edges of hair with a silk or satin scarf until glue has fully set / cured. Application with Adhesive/Tapes -Prepare the lace wig, hair and skin as previously mentioned above. -Cut the tape into desired shapes and attach firmly around the perimeter of your unit. -Position the unit on your head. Remove the backing of the tape in sections, a little at a time. Starting from the middle of the forehead, firmly press tape into skin with a tail comb. -Tie the edges of the hair with a silk or satin scarf until the adhesive has set. -PLEASE NOTE: If you're new to this process, please take your time; be sure to install your unit in a cool place to avoid sweating. To achieve a longer hold, combine the use of liquid and tape adhesives. The tape helps preserve the lace by protecting it from frequent wear and tear. For tape/glue application, first apply glue to hairline, then apply tape to the front and nape of the wig. Press tape into wig firmly. When glue is ready, remove backing of tape and press the lace down into skin using a tail comb. Happy Installing! The Luxurious Hair Boutique Team

Wigs are great fashion accessories for casual or formal occasions. They are especially great for medical related hair loss, concealing any type of hair loss or thinning hair and are a fun way to temporarily change your hairstyle without having to commit to those changes. At the blink of an eye you can go from short to long, curly to straight and even explore various hair colors without having to alter your own with harsh chemicals. With the explosion of Wigs are great fashion accessories for casual or formal occasions. They are especially great for medical related hair loss, concealing any type of hair loss or thinning hair and are a fun way to temporarily change your hairstyle without having to commit to those changes. With the explosion of wig technologies such as lace front wigs, full lace wigs, custom lace front wig and synthetic lace front wigs you will find many wig sites are popping up all over the Internet. If you're new to buying wigs or lace front wigs or even shopping online, this can be an overwhelming experience. Sowhere do you start? Who do you trust? What should you expect? Where do you start? Our first suggestion is to fully research and educate yourself about various wigs and lace front wigs. If possible, talk with others who wear wigs or lace front wigs. Applying lace front wigs is an art within itself; so educating yourself on the process will eliminate frustration and confusion. Who do you trust? One of the drawbacks to buying online is that you miss out on the ability to see, touch and feel tangible products. You want to find a web company whose website is professionally created as well as clear and concise. A great website offers a wealth of information as well as crisp, clear images of the products for sale. Since image theft is a major problem, pay close attention to pixel quality as well as background colors. Websites with multiple image background colors and poor picture quality could be a tell tail sign that images were taken from other websites. The Luxurious Hair Boutique watermarks all images photographed by us in an attempt to discourage image theft and provide a special section called wigs FAQ's to assist our customers with understanding the vast amount of wigs choices available on the market today. Contact information such as phone number, email address, live chat etc is VERY important in the event you want to speak with someone prior to your purchase. If you cannot reach a representative before the sale, it is highly unlikely that you will be able to reach them after the sale. What should you expect? Finding a company who is knowledgeable about their products, as well as committed and devoted to aiding you in achieving your new look is a must! Communication is also a must. A clear store policy and shipping policy is vital. When purchasing lace front wigs, it is highly important to see photos of the actual wig. Celebrity photos do not always provide a true comparison. Some celebrities shown in photos may not even be wearing a wig let alone a lace front wig. Reputable sellers of lace front wigs do NOT use copyrighted celebrity photos to solely endorse their products. **WARNING** Due to the popularity of lace front wigs and various trendy wigs, scam artists are springing up everywhere. Do not waste you money on dirt-cheap lace front wigs. Although the price may be tempting, you will get what you pay for (if you get it at all). Many cheap wigs are mass produced by a machine as opposed to being crafted by skilled wig makers who hand tie each individual hair strand of the wig base. A well-crafted lace front wig usually takes 40 to 80 hours to make! Remember the saying "If it's too good to be true then it probably is! **PLEASE NOTE** If a website or seller has pictures with various background colors or distorted images it doesn't mean that they are automatically a scammer or the images are stolen. Every website or seller conducts business their own way. Please research, ask questions and obtain references when possible. Please bookmark us and tell a friend!
