Somethings Need To Know When Laying Lace Wigs
Lay Your Hair Flat
One way to get your hair flat under the wig is to braid your hair in 6-8 cornrows going straight back. Another easier way is to part your hair all the way down the middle into two sections. Braid those sections so that you have 2 regular braids. If your hair is long, simply crisscross the braids so that they lay flat on both sides.
Wig Caps
Wig caps are completely optional under a lace wig. Some people like the cap because it creates an additional barrier between their hair and the wig. Other people simply put the wig over their hair without a cap. It's completely up to you.
Cutting The Lace
We get a lot of questions on how to cut the lace. The best way to cut the lace is to put the wig on and pull it down so that hairline of the wig is in front of your natural hairline. Take your scissors and cut along the lace so that it matches your natural hairline.
Parting The Wig
Lace front, full lace and 360 wigs can all be parted in any direction you'd like. The lace mimics the look of a natural scalp. Your new wig may not lay flat at first. However, you can use a hot comb so that the hair stays parted in the direction that you like. You can also use a scarf to tie the wig down so that the part stays in place.
Styling The Baby Hairs
