How to apply a Lace Wig, Lace Front Wig, Full Lace Wig, Synthetic Lace Wig or Custom Lace Wig.
Now that you’ve decided to buy a lace front wig, lets talk about the application. The wonderful thing about full lace wigs is that you can apply them yourself and achieve a flawless look just as you would if you went to the salon.
First things first, Preparation!
-Gather your application products and line then up for easy access. Prepare your hair by wrapping, pin curling or braiding. It is important for your hair to lay flat.
-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; preferably white and 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 the lace into the adhesive, this will assist with securing the 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 Lace Wigging!

Full Lace Wigs Care & Maintenence
How to Wash a Full Lace Wig
It is extremely important to familiarize yourself with the texture of your full lace wig. Use products that work well with your unit’s texture! Products you use on your own hair type may not work well on your full lace wig.
Step 1
Before washing your full lace wig, brush gently, or use a detangling comb from the tips of the wig to the base/roots. Never begin combing at the top or middle, this will damage and tangle the unit.
Step 2
Place your full lace wig on a Styrofoam wig head and use T Pins to secure.
Step 3
In a spray bottle, mix a capful of shampoo and fill the remaining with cool water. It is important to choose a shampoo that is suitable for your full lace wig's texture. Products that may work well are Silicon Mix, Nearly Natural, Ionix, Dove Moisture Intense, Nexxus, Aveda, Paul Mitchell etc
Step 4
Place your full lace wig on the Styrofoam head under a gentle stream of cool water. Pour or spray the shampoo mixture evenly over the wig and use a wide tooth rounded end comb to distribute the shampoo. Remember to always comb starting at the ends of the hair to the roots.
Step 5
Rinse the unit thoroughly on the wig head using a gentle stream of cool water.
Step 6
In a spray bottle, mix a capful of conditioner and fill the remaining with cool water. It is important to choose a conditioner that is suitable for your full lace wig's texture. Products that may work well are Silicon Mix, Nearly Natural, Ionix, Mane N Tail, Dove Moisture Intense, Nexxus, Aveda, Paul Mitchell etc
Step 7
Place your full lace wig on the Styrofoam head under a gentle stream of cool water. Pour or spray the conditioner mixture evenly over the wig and use a wide tooth rounded end comb to distribute the conditioner. Remember to always comb starting at the ends of the hair to the roots.
Step 8
Rinse your full lace unit thoroughly on the wig head using a gentle stream of cool water.
Step 9
Towel blot your full lace wig gently in a patting motion, while still on your wig head.Spray on leave in conditioner if desired and allow to air dry. This is a great time to part or apply foam/setting lotion.
Step 10
To minimize shedding, apply knot sealer. Once your unit is dry, simply Invert lace base to expose knots. use a plastic cap to protect the hair. Shake sealer contents well, hold bottle upright and aim at lace-base. Spritz on Knot Sealer using mist pump being careful not to allow excess sealer to penetrate into hair. Blow dry. Repeat as needed. (WE RECOMMENDED TWO COATS) Creates a long-lasting invisible seal that is permanently flexible!

Synthetic Full Lace Front Wig Wigs
Quality, Selection, and Service Fused Into The Luxurious Hair Boutique Synthetic Lace Front Wig Collection.
Syracuse, NY – (January 7, 2009) - Some women know what it feels like to find a Lace Front wig that complements them like no other. On the other hand, many women know how it feels to have a limited selection or subpar service stand in the way of finding a Lace wig that is an ideal match. The launch of The Luxurious Hair Boutique Signature Collection of Synthetic Lace Front Wigs means one more resource available for women looking for just the right Lace Front wig at an affordable price.
The Luxurious Hair Boutique (LHB) specializes in premium full lace wigs, custom lace wigs, and lace front wigs. Quality products, an extensive selection, and superior customer service are all things that LHB customers expect. The company’s wig selection includes the likes of brands such as: Raquel Welch, Eva Gabor, Beverly Johnson, Bobbi Boss, as well as other notable collections.
In addition to its wig offerings, the company launched its very own Signature Collection of Synthetic Lace Front Wigs, which was an instant smash and sold out within a week of its release. The newest addition to the collection is set to release January 8th, 2009.
The LHB Signature Collection™ is constructed with the latest innovative synthetic fiber “Natura”. The fiber is the first to be heat resistant as well as flame retardant and is the perfect way for women to get the natural look and feel of a human hair lace front wig for an affordable price.
The company points out that regular synthetic hairs such as PVC and Modacryl can only endure up to 100 degrees of heat; therefore, they can’t be used in conjunction with hair dryer or hair iron. And although polyester hairs can withstand heat of up to 170 degrees of heat, when the hair iron is used repeatedly, frizzing occurs, destroying the original capability of the hair itself. “Natura” has solved this problem and made it very safe to use resulting in a Synthetic Lace Front Wig like no other.
From the research and development, attention to detail, community-based initiatives, to the support system LHB offers through their superior service, quality products and superior service will remain the cornerstone of the company.
