How to install a wig 🥰

Hey beauties! We all know a good wig install can totally transform your look and boost your confidence, right? I used to struggle so much with getting my lace frontal to lay flat and look natural, but after countless tries and learning some amazing tricks, I've finally got my routine down. If you're wondering how to put on a wig and achieve that seamless, 'what lace?' finish, you're in the right place! Before you even think about glue, let's talk about the foundation. Getting your wig cap install right is crucial! For beginners, make sure your natural hair is as flat as possible, either braided down or slicked back. Put on a nude or skin-tone wig cap that matches your complexion. I always trim the excess cap around my hairline, just enough so it sits perfectly without creating bulk. This step is key for a super flat lace frontal install. Now, for the magic that makes your wig look like it's growing from your scalp: the hairline prep and glue application. Before you outline your hairline with glue, make sure your skin is clean and free of oils. This helps the glue adhere properly. When applying the wig glue, I follow the '3 layers of glue' rule. Apply a thin, even layer directly onto your forehead where the lace will sit. Let that first layer dry clear – this is vital to avoid any white residue! You can use a cool setting on a blow dryer to speed up the process. Repeat this for two more layers, ensuring each layer dries clear before adding the next. This multi-layer approach gives you that super strong hold and a truly melted look when you place the lace on the glue. Once your glue is tacky and clear, it's time to place the lace on the glue! Carefully align your lace frontal with your natural hairline, pressing it gently into the glue. Take your time to ensure it's straight and wrinkle-free. After it's secure, cut the extra lace close to your hairline. I like to use small, sharp scissors and cut in a slight zig-zag motion for a more natural edge. Then, cut the extra cap around your ears and nape. To make the lace blend even more seamlessly, use a little foundation or concealer that matches your skin tone and apply it gently to the lace and even inside the cap where it meets your forehead. This step truly helps to conceal the lace and make it undetectable. And what's a bomb install without perfectly styled baby hairs? Once your lace is laid, pull baby hair out from your frontal. Using a bit of mousse or edge control and an edge brush, swirl and swoop them into your desired style. To ensure they stay put and look snatched, don't forget to spray with Got2b Glued Blasting Freeze Spray! It's a game-changer for keeping those edges laid all day. After styling, I always wrap my baby hair with a silk scarf or melting band and sit under a dryer for 10-15 minutes or just let it air dry. This helps everything set perfectly. While this tutorial focuses on a glued lace frontal, for those who prefer a glueless wig install, you can achieve a natural look with adjustable bands and proper wig cap placement too! But for a truly 'slayed' and long-lasting look, following these steps for applying lace wig glue to your hairline will give you that professional finish every single time. Happy wigging!
