How to Wash Your Lace Front Wig

Methods to wash your lace front wig

Lace front wigWith the proper care, a full lace front wig can last a long time.  I suggest you purchase 2 wigs, so that when you wash one wig you will have another one to wear.  Generally you should wash your full lace wig about every 4 to 5 weeks.  But it is important to always wash the hair right after swimming, heavy perspiration or when dirt accumulates, as these will cause excessive tangling.

The first thing you will need to do is remove as much of the glue residue on the cap as you can from the full lace wig.  Spray the citrus remover onto the glue and then rub the cap on a mirror so to cause friction between the mirror and the residue.  Repeat as many times until the lace is clean.

I recommend using a detangling shampoo with room temperature water.  Mix the shampoo and luke warm water in a basin.  Too hot or too cold of water will ruin your lace cap.  Dip the wig in and out of the basin while using your fingers to detangle it.  Once the wig is clean, towel dry with gently squeezing.

The next step is conditioning.  After towel drying the hair, apply silicon mix conditioner on the hair evenly.  Avoid using too much conditioner.  Wait for about 5 minutes for the hair to absorb the conditioner.  Then completely rinse it out with luke warm water.  Make sure the conditioner is rinsed thoroughly from the unit, because buildup at the knots can keep the knots from moving freely and the hair will start shedding.  Again, very gently towel dry.  You will want to place your wig on a wig headstand and starting at the bottom of the hair, comb through, removing any tangles, working your way up the hair to the lace cap.  Avoid extreme tugging as that will result in a loss of hair.   Only use a non static wide toothed comb.  Then let the full lace front wig dry thoroughly.  Do not blow dry the hair.

After the lace front wig is dry, seal your knots by turning the lace cap inside out and lightly spray a knot sealer and let it dry.  Also, use a fray block around the entire circumference of the lace cap.  Simply put a little fray block on a q-tip to apply, for the easiest method, and allow that to dry completely.  Then you are ready to go!

What is a full lace wig?

A Full lace wig is a hair wig that is made with entire lace as its lace base. Each strand of hair is expertly hand tied to the lace base. This makes the hair give an illusion like its coming from the scalp. In most cases, full lace wigs are made from remy hair that is well aligned on the lace base and whereas the cuticle is still intact. This helps the hair move in a natural and realistic away. With a full lace wig, you will be able to put up your hair in a pony tail and also part it anywhere and in any direction. This is perhaps the no 1. reason why celebrities love to wear full lace wigs in the various movie roles they play.

For your full lace wig to look realistic, it is absolutely important that the lace color is close to your complexion as much as possible. This is important so that the lace looks like your scalp so that the hair gives an illusion as though it is coming from your own scalp.

Choosing the right full lace wig color is easy with the following pointers.

  • When you are choosing your lace front wig, be sure to talk to your hair specialist about your complexion. If it is over the phone, you can give your lace front wigs specialist a celebrity that is closest to your complexion. This will help them narrow down the range of lace colors available to the one that will look the most realistic on you.
  • Consider the time of the year and how easily your skin color changes. If you regularly visit the tanning salon or tan easily in the summer, consider getting a different lace color for the warmer season of the year.
  • Are you going to be using make up? Before ordering your full lace wig consider the skin tone of your make up. Does it make you darker or lighter? It is important that you choose appropriately. Do not be afraid to put a little make up on the lace to make it even blend more with your hair line.
