As a wig lover, lace front wigs have always been my first choice. Not only does it have a variety of styles, but the hairline design is also very fine, and it can present a very natural effect when worn. However, when I first started using lace front wigs, I also stepped on a lot of pitfalls. The wig looked fake, the hairline was "fake white", and even my friends could tell at a glance that I was wearing a wig. Later, after many attempts and explorations, I summarized some tips to make lace front wigs more natural, and shared them with everyone, hoping to help you!
1. Adjust The Size Of The Wig To Fit The Head Shape
When I wore a
lace front wig for the first time, I didn't pay attention to the size, and the edge of the wig's forehead was obviously raised, which looked very unnatural. Therefore, when choosing a wig, you must pay attention to the right size and adjust the elastic band so that the wig fits the head shape completely. If the lace edge does not fit well enough, you can use some wig glue or traceless double-sided tape to gently fix it, so that it will look more natural.
2. Treat The Hairline To Reduce "Wig Marks"
The hairline of the lace front wig is its highlight, but when I first wore it, I found that the hairline was too straight and even, which looked particularly fake. Later, I learned to use tweezers to gently pluck some hair near the hairline to make the edges sparser, giving a "naturally grown" feeling. In addition, you can also use some foundation or concealer to gently blend the hairline to make the lace blend with your skin tone.
3. Trim Baby Hair To Create A Sense Of Reality
Baby hair plays a very important role. At first, I didn't treat the baby hair of the wig, and it looked abrupt when I put it on. Later, I learned to use small scissors to trim some short broken hair and fix them on the edge of the forehead with hairspray to imitate the effect of real broken hair. This small detail will make the overall look more natural.
4. Regular Care And Styling
Wig care is also very important. After wearing a lace front wig for a period of time, if you don't pay attention to cleaning and maintenance, the hair will easily become dry and tangled, and it will look "fake". I wash my wigs with a shampoo for wigs every two weeks and spray them with some conditioning spray regularly to keep them smooth and shiny. In addition, gently adjusting the hairstyle with a curling iron or a straightener can make the wig fit the face better.
5. Match The Makeup To Make The Wig Fit The Overall Look
No matter how natural your lace wig is, if the makeup is not in place, the overall effect will be discounted. I usually adjust the makeup according to the color and style of the wig. For example, a
613 blonde wig will be matched with a gentle nude makeup, and a black wig will try a more layered makeup. The unity of makeup and wig can make the overall image more harmonious.
With these tips, I now feel at ease when I go out wearing a lace front wig, and I often receive compliments from friends. Some people even think that my hairstyle was done at a salon! So, if you also want to make your lace front wig look more natural, you might as well try these methods. I hope they can make your wig journey smoother and more enjoyable!
