After cleansing and conditioning your hair, allow it to air dry, or use a low heat setting on a hair dryer to dry it gently. Avoid using high heat or heat styling products on your hair, as this can cause damage and make it more challenging to achieve a seamless wig install.

A wig cap is a great way to add security and comfort to your HD lace wig install. A wig cap is a stretchy, lightweight fabric that fits snugly over your head and helps secure the wig.

Wig Caps also help to protect your natural hair and keep it from getting tangled or damaged. To use a wig cap, simply pull it over your head and adjust it to fit snugly. Once the wig cap is in place, you can begin installing your HD lace wig according to your preferred method.

Wig caps come in various materials and colors, so you can choose the one that best fits your needs and preferences. In addition, wig caps are inexpensive and effective in ensuring a comfortable and secure HD lace wig install.

Installing an HD lace front wig can seem intimidating, especially if you're new to wearing wigs. However, you can achieve flawless installation with patience and practice.

Don’t worry; we have step-by-step instructions on how to install an HD lace wig. From securing the front of the wig to your hairline to blending your natural hair with the wig, we've got you covered.

Start by securing the front of the wig to your hairline to begin installing your HD lace wig.

This step is typically the most visible and important part of the installation, as it will determine the overall appearance and realism of the wig. To secure the front of the wig, follow these steps:

1. Place the wig on your head and adjust it to align the front hairline with your natural hairline.
2. Use a pair of hair shears to trim the excess lace along the hairline of the wig. Make minor, precise cuts to avoid accidentally cutting too much lace.
3. Secure the wig in place using your preferred adhesive. Some popular options include wig glue, wig tape, and wig clips. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper application and hold time.
4. Once the front of the wig is secure, use a wig brush or a fine-tooth comb to gently style the hair and blend it with your natural hair.

By following these steps, you'll be able to achieve a seamless and natural-looking front hairline for your HD lace wig.

Once the front of the wig is secure, it's time to work your way back and secure the rest of the wig.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Beginning at the front of the wig, use your preferred adhesive to secure the wig to your scalp. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper application and hold time.
2. As you work your way back, continue to secure the wig to your scalp using the adhesive. Apply the glue evenly and consistently to ensure a secure hold.
3. Once you reach the back of the wig, use a pair of hair shears to trim the excess lace along the hairline. Again, make small, precise cuts to avoid accidentally cutting too much lace.
4. Use a wig brush or a fine-tooth comb to style the wig and blend it with your natural hair.

By following these steps, you'll be able to securely install your HD lace front wig and achieve a seamless and natural-looking appearance.

To achieve a seamless and natural-looking HD lace wig install, it's essential to use small sections and apply the adhesive sparingly. Small areas will help ensure the wig is secure and lies flat against your scalp.

Applying the adhesive sparingly will also help to prevent excess build-up, which can cause the wig to shift or come loose.

For example, to use small sections and apply the glue sparingly, follow these steps:

1. Divide your hair into small sections and apply the adhesive to each area individually. This method will help to ensure that the wig is securely attached to your scalp.
2. Use a small amount of adhesive for each section. Overusing the adhesive can lead to excess build-up and make the wig shift or come loose.
3. Use a small brush or toothbrush to apply the adhesive evenly and consistently. This step will help to ensure a secure hold and prevent excess build-up.

Depending on the client, you may consider using a Lace Tint or Lace Mouse to further conceal the lace.

Shameless plug? For sure! But at least you would be purchasing an HD Wig from a company that knows what they are talking about.

Since 2014, Private Label has been supplying hairstylists and hair enthusiasts with affordable bundles, wigs, closures, closures, frontals, and other hair products.

We are affordable because our pricing is generally 30% - 40% less than most of the other hair stores in our local areas.

We offer the popular HD Wigs that most other companies like to sell, which are 130% - 180% Density with Straight, Body Wave, Loose Wave, and Deep Wave styles.

We recently designed our own HD Custom Wigs that have taken the market by storm. Private Label’s Invisible Hairline Wigs are genuinely unique.

I worked with Dallas Christopher on constructing the perfect HD Wig (for most!).

We took all the elements hairstylists don’t like doing, or consumers don’t like paying for and created a ready-to-wear HD wig that is above and beyond what most people would expect.

Here are the details:

• The Invisible Hairline Wigs are available with a 13x4 or 13x6 HD Lace Frontal. The 13x6 is more expensive but offers a deeper parting space. Especially for those who love a good side part.
• Next, these wigs are thick! We have both 180% and 220% density options. Be ready for a full look with a lot of hair.
• Who likes bleaching knots? Nobody! We have already done this for you.
• A pre-plucked frontal is cool, but ours is custom ventilated. The first inch of the hairline is made with single hair knots, which become invisible after installation. The frontal hair pattern looks like it’s been plucked to perfection. It’s not. The hairline is ventilated this way which is the next level of quality.

So if you are in the market for a new HD Wig, please consider picking up one from your friends over at Private Label.
