If there’s one thing lace front wigs are loved for, it’s their ability to give you a flawless, natural hairline. But achieving that seamless look isn’t just about buying the wig—it’s about styling it right. Whether you’re rocking a sleek bob or long, flowing curls, the secret is in the details that make your lace front look like it’s growing right from your scalp.
In this guide, we’ll break down easy, effective steps to style your lace front wig so you can wear it with confidence all day.
1. Prep Your Wig Before Installation
Start with clean, detangled hair on both your natural hair and the wig. If you’re wearing braids or cornrows under your wig, make sure they’re neat and flat.
-
Use a wig cap to keep your hair secure and give the lace a smooth surface to sit on.
-
Apply foundation or powder that matches your skin tone directly onto the lace for a blended scalp illusion.

2. Trim the Lace Correctly
One of the biggest mistakes people make is leaving too much lace visible.
-
Cut the lace gradually, following your natural hairline’s curves
-
Use small scissors for precision instead of rushing with one big cut.
-
Leave just a little lace in front to blend into your skin.

3. Use the Right Adhesive (or Go Glue-less)
Depending on your comfort level, you can secure your wig with glue, gel, or an adhesive spray. For those who prefer flexibility, glue-less options with adjustable straps are a lifesaver.
-
Always clean your forehead before applying adhesive to prevent lifting.

4. Melt the Lace for a Flawless Finish
The “melt” is what really gives lace wigs their natural edge.
-
After applying adhesive, use a blow dryer on cool to set the lace.
-
Tie down the hairline with an elastic band for 5–10 minutes.
-
Once removed, you’ll see the lace disappear into your skin.
Pro Tip: Pair this with a little concealer along the parting to mimic your scalp.
5. Style Baby Hairs (Optional, But Beautiful)
Baby hairs are the finishing touch. They can make your lace wig look even more realistic.
-
Use a small brush or edge control brush to shape light, natural swoops.
-
Don’t overdo it—subtle baby hairs look the most natural.
