Lace wigs will have an excess of around 4 inches of lace around the edges.

This will need to be cut to the right length to attach the wig to your head.

You can get your stylist to do this if you are a novice and not sure how much to trim.

The adhesive will then be applied around your hairline.

This can be quite tricky as it is important not to get it in your hair.

Some glue will need to be applied to the lace as well.

The lace is then pressed down over the adhesive with the back of a comb, until everything is flat. 

A cool hair dryer will help to dry the glue.

When the glue is dried you can style the hair and even cut it.

Remember that if you have lace wigs with real hair

it will need to be looked after in the same way that you would care for your own hair.

A few stitches may be applied to the wig,

to protect your own hair and the hairline.

If you are applying the lace wig yourself it is wise to braid your hair in corn braids to keep it flat.

You should also shave any hair around the hairline

and apply alcohol so that the hairline is smooth and free from hair and oils.

You can then apply the adhesive as your stylist would.

do this in sections of 1 inch at a time and glue the wig to your head in 1 quarter sections.

You can rub your fingers in a circular motion as you apply it to the glue to make a more natural look.
