Steps To Cleaning Your Lace Front Wig

Step One: Prepping the Wig

For an easy wash day, we suggest preparing all the tools you'll need so they will all be in place when needed. You will need your favorite shampoo and conditioner, remember paraben and sulfate-free are your best options, a wide-tooth comb to detangle, a towel to dry, and a wig stands for your wig to lay on. Remember to use products specifically made for lace front wigs. Now prep the wig using your favorite adhesive remover to remove unwanted residue. Gently brush off the residue that is remaining. As tempting as it may seem, you should not peel off any of the residues, by doing so you risk tearing your lace. Lastly, comb through the hair using your wide-tooth comb so there is no snagging or unnecessary shedding.

Step Two: Washing the Hair

Rinse your hair under warm water or room temperature water. Apply a dime-size amount of shampoo into your hand and begin shampooing from the tip while avoiding the lace area of your wig. Now gently pat your frontal and inside the wig cap using soapy water. Do not scrub or create friction for this will tangle the hair. Using your towel, blot your wig.

Step Three: Condition Your Wig

Make sure that the hair is damp and not soaking wet. Using a small amount of conditioner, apply in sections while finger combing the hair. This is the best way to ensure that every strand of hair has conditioner on it. Avoid the frontal portion of your wig, conditioner will loosen the knots on your frontal and cause hair to begin shedding. Shedding then leads to balding, and who wants a bald frontal?
Allow the conditioner to sit for a minimum of five minutes. When the time is up and your hair is saturated with the hair conditioner, detangle gently with your wide-tooth comb or your fingers, this is purely up to preference. Detangle from the tip of the hair up the hair shaft, making sure you do not force any snags, knots, or tangles. Rinse thoroughly using cool water.

Step Four: Properly Drying Your Hair

Gently squeeze the hair to remove any water. Avoid twisting or wringing out the water like you would a towel. Gently towel blots your hair using a towel. Now place your wig on your stand and let it air dry.

How To Style Your Transparent Lace Wig?


Remember to style your wig to your style and preference, think about what makes you feel great and comfortable. Styling your wig to your personal preference makes your wig look as natural as your real hair. Read on to hear our tips on styling your transparent lace wig.

Perfecting The Part

Your transparent lace wig mimics your scalp in the front portion of your wig. This means that you have endless possibilities on where you can part your hair. Some wigs require tweaking like plucking the hair and creating a part using makeup. If that is the case, make sure your makeup is the same color as your scalp, and make sure your part isn't too big or too small.
The next thing you will need to decide on is where exactly you're putting your hair. The middle part left side part or right-side part. This is something completely up to preference.

Curling Your Hair

There are of course various techniques when curling your wig, whichever look you decide on will dictate the technique you will use. We will show you one of the most popular curl techniques, loose wave beachy curls.

1. Lightly detangle your hair and spritz with a heat protectant spray, and part into four equal quadrants.

2. Begin with your front two sections and divide them according to the size of your barrel.

3. Take your section you just parted and wrap your hair loosely around the barrel leaving about an inch at the bottom of your hair out.

4. Hold your hair in the tong of the barrel for a few seconds.

5. Remove your hair from the barrel and drop your curl into the palm of your hand, then allow it to cool before you allow it to drop completely. Doing this will ensure a longer last for the curl.

6. Continue these steps for the remaining hair of the wigs.

7. Brush out your curls using a wide-tooth comb or your fingers. For a messy look try using a paste or palmate to add texture.

No Styling While It's Wet

Styling your wig while it is wet may cause damage to the construction of the wig due to it loosening. Once your wig has been cleaned and completely dry, detangle or finger comb while your wig is on the stand. If you do not have a stand, try placing your wig on your hand with your fist bald up. If you do not have the time to allow your hair to air dry, try blow-drying your wig at the lowest temperature, and don't forget your heat-protecting spray.

Tips On Daily Care of Your Transparent Lace Wig

Daily care is just as important as major care, remember what you do daily to your wig will determine the lifespan of your wig.

1. Gently brush your wig daily. This will ensure your wig has zero snags, knots, or tangling.

2. Use the correct products specifically made for your wig. This includes shampoo, conditioners, oils, gels, and your daily moisturizer. Nothing is worse than a heavy, limp wig, due to heavy products. Also, with heavy products, you are prone to having more dirt.

3. Keep your wig stored away properly when not in use. A mannequin head is perfect; however, these are not available to everyone. An alternative is using a hook and hooking your wig on it so it will not get tangled. While storing it, cover it so avoid the collection of dust or any other particles on your wig.

4. Do not overuse the hairspray. Doing this will make the hair tangle easily and become greasy. If you enjoy using strong hold spray or shine spray, be sure to do so lightly and clean your wig often.

5. Try not to sleep in your wig. We get it with certain products you can get a long wear time out of your wig. If you can wear your wig for multiple days, we do suggest you wrap your wig up in a silk scarf. Also, try to twist or braid your hair into a ponytail.

6. Do not forget about your real hair. Remember about your hair underneath the wig. Make sure that it is moisturized and cleaned.
