   How to Attach a Lace Front?

1. What is a lace front wig or full lace wig?
A hairpiece or full wig which is made with a mesh like lace insert in the front or all around (for pony tails) or full system into which individual hairs are hand-tied. This is designed to create a realistic looking hairline. The lace is trimmed to match the skin after purchase so that only a part that looks comfortable and more realistic to the client is left. When properly worn with special adhesive, the hairline can be so realistic looking as to be virtually undetectable that it is not the wearer’s own growing hair. It resembles a lot of the wigs that we see on models on the runways as well as famous actresses. return top

How to Attach a Lace Front?

A Very Good Way to Attach Any Lace Front:
This method will protect the lace front from fraying indefinitely. Using the popular 3/4" Redor blue Liner Track Tape, cut the Red Liner Tape down the center creating many 3" long strips 3/8" wide. Place one cut of the Tape starting 1/2" on to the polyurethane tape patch area where the lace front connects to it. Began laying the strip of the Red Liner tape (with the liner still attached) directly on the very front hairline of the lace edge. Press it firmly onto the lace. Continue placing strips all the way around the front pressing firmly as you go. As the tape strip will need to be cut a few times to make it conform to the arc of the front it will be necessary to overlap the Red Liner Tape slightly. Do this by peeling up the edge of the Red Liner next to the strip you are working with. Continue laying the strips until you have finished taping the entire front edge from side to side with the 3/8" strips. Finish your final strip 1/2" on to the Polyurethane area next to the lace front where it is attached on that side also. There must be no separations in this tape strip line.
You have now created a clear see through Red Liner tape Ribbon edge on the Lace front. This tape will stay on the edge for an extended period of time.
After the red plastic covering the adhesive is removed from the tape it is applied directly to the scalp. This tape should stick well for a few days even if the unit is removed from the customer's head. After it stops sticking the liquid tape is used to attach the Front Red Liner Tape to the forehead. Simply brush on a light coating to the existing Red Liner Tape. The original Red Liner Tape can never be removed by the customer. That tape will stay for as long as you are comfortable with it - sometimes as long as 3 months. The customer may carefully clean the interior side of the Red Liner with adhesive cleaner-remover at any time.

For a lace front wig:
Clean the area where you want to tack down the lace (usually the temples) and proceed as in the previous steps.
Remember most lace front wigs do not need this extra step, correct placing and pinning should make the piece feel secure enough. Always use the spirit gum sparingly.

Removal:
Always proceed gently when removing pieces. Using a small brush with topsol solvent or 99% alcohol, dab at the area where the spirit gum was placed and gently pull away from the skin. Always clean your pieces before re-applying by pacing on a paper towel and dabbing at the gum to dissolve the glue. Never use anything but approved cleansers or 99% alcohol for this process.

How to apply a lace front wig: ( Glue only can be used as well making sure to let it stand for 5 to 10 minutes or until glue is tacky)

• 1 Clean hair and or scalp and dry. ( Exfoliate scalp for best results), cut off excess lace on unit leaving about half inch on.
• 2 Applying scalp protector to the lace and will provide easier clean up.
• 3 Apply red liner tape to inside of lace wig on the tracking lines..you can apply only on the temple areas and back area as you see the fit of wig.
• 4 Using a make up sponge or small painting brush, apply 2 thin coats of glue to the tape, now applied to the tracks on the unit.
• 5 Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes until glue is tacky.
• 6 In the meantime, apply tape to your own head on the same positions as on the unit. Repeat step 5 on your head.
• 7 Place the unit on your head and press firmly, adjusting it for proper fit.

8 Make sure the lace stretches properly to blend to skin as you attach.

Using tape only with no glue:
Use the following step for tape only:

• 1 Remove shelding from one side of tape after cutting into 1 to 2 inch strips.
• 2 Apply tape to wig or hair piece where desired.
• 3 Remove shelding from second side of tape.
• 4 Position wig or hair piece on head where desired.
• 5 PRESS firmly where tape is applied to bond to scalp.

BONDING INSTRUCTIONS: Another method

• 1 Cut desired length of track tape from roll.
• 2 Remove shielding from track tape and put glue on tape
• 3 Apply tape to lace front wig or hair piece along track system.
• 4 Apply desired front tape or adhesive to front area of wig or hair piece for securing.
• 5 Apply and secure lace front wig or hair piece to front area.

  REMOVING AND PREPARING LACE FRONT WIG OR HAIR PIECE FOR RE-BONDING:
  Over the bonding period time your own hair will continue growing. As your hair gets longer your wig or hair piece where bonded will loosen as your hair becomes longer. Naturally, it will become necessary to remove your wig or hair piece for cleaning and repair.
  Use the following steps for removing a wig or hair piece:
  1 Peel up the front of lace front wig or hair piece where secured using toupee tape or adhesive.
  2 Where the begins at either front temple: peel the wig or hair piece from the track system that is bonded to your hair.
  3 Once the lace front wig or hairpiece has been removed: Cut hair in track area to 1/8" long to prepare for bonding lace front wig or hair piece once again.
  Cleaning and repairing your lace front wig or hair piece should be done before re-bonding lace front wig or hair piece once again.  return top
