Applying wig glue to a lace front involves carefully applying a thin layer of adhesive along your hairline and then attaching the lace of the wig to it. Here's a step-by-step guide based on common practices:
-
Prepare Your Hairline: Clean your hairline with alcohol to remove any oils or residue. This ensures the glue adheres properly. Some people also use a scalp protector.
-
Apply the Wig Glue: Apply a thin, even layer of wig glue to your hairline. Many people use a small applicator or the tip of the glue bottle. Apply the glue where the lace will sit. Avoid applying too much glue at once.
-
Let the Glue Dry: Allow the wig glue to become tacky. This drying time can vary depending on the specific glue and environmental factors like humidity. Refer to the glue’s instructions for the recommended drying time. The glue should transition from wet to a clear or translucent and tacky state.
-
Attach the Lace: Carefully position the lace front wig onto your head, aligning it with your hairline. Gently press the lace onto the tacky glue, starting from the center and working your way outwards.
-
Secure the Lace: Use a comb or your fingers to press the lace firmly onto the glued area. This ensures a strong bond.
-
Allow to Set: Allow the glue to fully set according to the manufacturer's instructions.
-
Style as Desired: Once the glue is dry and the lace is securely attached, you can style your wig as desired.
