7 Golden Rules To Wearing A Lace Front Wig

Lace Front Wig

Lace frontal wigs or lace fronts come with many benefits that include the style and ease of use. But besides going for a natural hairline on the frontal, there are some key things to remember no matter when or what kind of lace front you have. These golden rules will keep your natural hair and scalp healthy for the long run.

How to Wear a Lace Front Wig

1. Don’t Wear a Wig Straight Out of the Package.

Be sure to examine your wig when you take it out of the packaging. You never know what could’ve happened with shipping, what it could be shipped with, or who packed it.

Smell it as well as examine the fabric it was created on. Be sure to wash your wig if anything seems “not right” with your wig.

2. Secure your natural hair.

You can braid longer lengths to your scalp to create a flat surface, or if your hair is short, you can wrap it. Make sure all of your own hair is secured before applying any adhesive.

Before you wear a wig for the first time, do a patch test to ensure you’re not allergic to the glue. If you switch brands of glue, do a patch test with each new glue you try.

If you plan to swim in your wig, you’ll need a waterproof adhesive. Some put on a skin protector to serve as a barrier between the glue and your skin.

You can also use double-sided tape to attach your wig if you know you only plan to wear it for a couple of days.

Even if you use a non-glue adhesive, it’s better to test it out on your skin first. Wear it for 15-20 minutes first to see how your skin may react to it, before using something new on your scalp.

4. Don’t Neglect Your Natural Hair.

If you only wear your wig a week or so at a time, you can skip
