A guide to Prepare Your Hair before Wig Installation

It's easy to be caught up in the revolving door of buzzy new designs especially for hair, in a world where trends of beauty appear to come and go as frequently as the sun rises and sets. When you consider the amount of stress your hair would have to experience from cutting, dyeing, styling, and more, the idea of trying all of these looks in a short period of time seems ludicrous. That is unless you consider wearing a natural-looking wig.

Lace front wigs are a popular option for women who seek full coverage from ear to ear and a natural hairline. Glue is commonly used to install wigs, although there are a variety of different methods. Sewing, wig grips, and clipping are all viable techniques for putting on a lace front wig without adhesive glue. Each approach has advantages and disadvantages, so we've put together this short guide to help you make the best option for your crown.

Preparing your natural hair for your lace front wig is a crucial step in achieving your desired look. Prep your hair differs based on the length, thickness, and texture of your hair, but the goal is for it to be as smooth and flat as possible. Start by hydrating your scalp and hair and making sure your forehead is dry, regardless of the treatment you use. Your lace front will lay better as a result of this.

Here are three typical ways to get your hair ready for a wig:

Braids

Hair can be prep for hd lace wigs with simple braids or straight back cornrows. Braiding can be done on both short and long hair, but it is particularly beneficial for fine and short hair.

1) If your hair feels dry, use a moisturizing lotion as needed.

2) Use a styling gel or cream to smooth the edges and hairline.

3) Divide your hair into four or five portions, paying attention to where you want to part it.

4) Braid each part, twisting loose ends at the ends to bind them.

5) Secure braids with bobby pins in the middle of the back of the head.

Cornrows

Cornrows provide the smoothest surface for the installation of lace frontal, which is especially important if you're planning a sleek, ferocious wig. It's also a good option if you have thick, long hair that might stick out too much in a traditional braid.

To create neat, tight braids, you can cornrow your hair yourself or ask for assistance. If the braids are excessively tight, it will put tension on your boundaries.

Twists

Twists take less time to prepare, but hair tends to come out faster. Here are some points on how to make slick twists:

1) Use clips to divide your hair into multiple regions on your head.

2) Unclip one segment of hair and apply a moisturizing lotion to it, gently working it into the hair and stretching it out with your fingers. Carry on in the same manner for each section.

3) Take small sections of hair and twist them hard towards the nape of the neck, dividing them into two portions.
