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.

You should also shave any hair around the hairline
and apply alcohol so that the hairline is smooth and free from hair and oils.

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.
