How To Glue Down A Lace Front Uniwigs Hair Topper

Hi welcome to my youtube channel um, so i've recently been gifted a topper um from uni wigs, and so it is a synthetic topper. It feels amazing that the hair quality on this is the best i've ever tried before, and i have spent the last few days trying to get it to work on my head um. I did struggle a little bit with the lace front, um lace front on the top. Where is completely different to at least on a wig and on a wig, it seems to be a lot easier to actually get it on your head, and so i thought i'd do a little tutorial today of how to glue your wig down um. So i'll show you the top of this, so it's in this nice little box here and like to package it away, i'm not using it. So this one is home and it's called hope. It'S the wavy version and, like i said previously, it is synthetic and now because of the way that my alopecia works on my head, my hair loss is quite patchy. I do have quite a big patch on the top, so, as you can see here, i've got quite a lot of hair missing just to the side. So let me just show you properly so there we go. So i have quite a lot of hair missing. Just here um, so the nice base it's an 8.5 by nine inch base just to get that little bit of a coverage. So obviously i've got all this hair. I do have another one at the back there and then all up the back. So let me see if i can show you i'll just turn around, so i do have quite a lot of loss here as well um. So obviously i need quite a lot of coverage on the back just so that doesn't show through with the rest of my hair. I know i do have quite a bit of hair still, so the other good thing about the hope topper is it's not too high density um, which would mean if it was too thick i'd just have way too much hair, and especially when we get some hot Weather which we don't get a lot of in the uk, but when you do um it would just be quite a lot of hair to be dealing with, so that is a lovely little bonus there. So i'll just show you the inside here. So this one is wefted: it's nice and wefted there um. It'S then got the mono just here, it's a mono base and then it's got the lace front. So i have already cut the lace off this one and just while i was getting used to trying it so, as you can see i'll get nice and close there, i've cut right down to the hairline just to get that kind of natural feel. Now it's up to you, you can leave a little bit more lace for when you're gluing it on um or you can cut it back um. So, let's get started so i've got a few essentials with me here, um. So what i'm going to use today to glue down the lace front is going to be my got to be got to be ultra glued, so you can get this one and there is also a yellow version. So it's basically just styling gel um, but it works really good for just a day, um gluing down that lace. So i have used this before on wigs and all the way around, and they just don't budge throughout the day, which is nice and then for the evening. You just literally just wet it just wet all of like the edge of the lace and it just peels off nicely, and you do get a little bit of the glue stuck on the lace. But again you just give that a little bit of a wash. No rubbing just a little bit of wet and it will just peel nicely off. I'Ve got my coat, which is always really good, get your party in there, and it's also good for sticking down the lace on the clip. I'Ve got some concealer just in case. We need any of the concealer. I'Ve got my hair dryer, which is good for drying the glue and then i'm just going to prep my hair a little bit. So i'm just going to curl put some more curls back into my hair um, because at the moment a lot of the curls have come out seems like i washed it a few days ago. So i'm just quickly going to get the straighteners out put a few curls in there amazing. So, first of all, what i like to do is pull all the hair back yeah, so i'm gon na just pull all of this back for now there we go and i'm just going to get the clip and clip that back nicely. Then we'll get the glue. So what i found is that this is amazing, stuff and just to use a little bit so about a piece size here you go and then rub it with a few two fingers either side and then just use it to pull back any of the baby hair Along the front there, so unless you want to blend your baby hair in um, i suggest this just because you find that sometimes the baby hair gets in the way and then the glue doesn't stick as very well. So there we go just stick that back a little bit now it'll get a bit crusty, but that's fine! So next we want to get our chopper here we go so at the moment. It doesn't really matter where you really want it to part, and the important part is just putting it on and seeing exactly where it needs to be. So if we just get the front there and i'm just going to clip it and dig quickly like so there we go so we can see that it lies just nicely along the front there and to be honest with you, you can't really tell you can't really See too much of the lace um, but you kind of really want to glue it down, so i can see there that is just straight in front of my hairline, so that is perfect. So we'll just pop that back off that quickly. Here we go so then again just want a little bit just a little bit of this, so you can apply this with a q-tip with the end of your um tweezers. Maybe - and i do like to apply it with my finger so we're just gon na apply it right around the hairline just there, so you don't want too much if you put too much on it, takes too long to dry, so we'll just put a little bit More on can see, i've got a stray hair there, i'll just try and push back. So you want to try and make sure it's on your forehead. You don't really want it on your hairline um. Just with the hairs. It then struggles quite a lot to dry and obviously to stick, then, so i'm going to just apply a little bit more and just all the way along make sure it's nice and even all along the front there beautiful now you've got a few options here. I'M just gon na get my comb and just brush it back and so you've now got two choices. You can either leave it to dry. If you've got the time um i'm going to use my hair dryer, so it needs to be on a cold setting. If it's not on cold it'll, just keep it nice and warm and it'll still be quite moist, and you won't be able to stick your lace to it now. You only want to do that for a few moments. So basically you want it to feel tacky um. So not dry, because if it's not dry, it won't stick and you don't want it to be too wet as soon as you put the lace on and once the lace gets on there um if it's still wet it just takes so long to then dry. So we just want to make sure it's a little bit tacky um, so it's tacky around the edges, but not quite here so just blast that little bit just a little bit longer. Okay, so i think that is great. So now what we shall do is get our topper and i'm going to take my clip back out for this. Otherwise, it'll get in the way yep so take the topper, and then you want it so that it is about right on your head and then we want to hold it down. Okay, so don't hold it too much and don't um don't hold it down too tight. You don't really want to um, rub it too much, because then it'll come through to the actual hair, which isn't that great. So this is where i use the end of here, so we would just go across the hairline nicely pressing it down get under there and the same on this side. So once that feels like it's a little bit down, i will put my clips in so you've got five clips on this base, so you just want to pull it down a little bit and clip same on this side, pull it down a smidge just so it's Not hurting, and we will do the sides at the back again i just like to keep hold of it so that it doesn't move the front and that we've just glued and the back there we go. So i'm going to give that just a tiny bit longer. Just to make sure that the glue is nice and set i'm just going to put the cold there. We are so, as you can see there, it's just not quite stuck down properly give that another another try. So you do have to be a little bit. Persistent um with this, it might not go down the first time so then we will just keep hold of it for a little bit longer. So i'm just going to hold that front down because for me it's the front, that's the most important because it lifts, whereas this will cover the rest of the hair. So if i just incorporate my hair into that now, so you can see a little bit of the difference and, however, it just looks like the top has been dyed, a different color to the bottom and which is quite nice. So there we go and there's no real movement. You can see where it's all nice, so obviously that bit there is a little bit up. So i might just put a tiny tiny bit more on just under there just to try and get that i'll. Let you see so just right there and i'll give it a minute to dry out. Then we should be able to stick it down again. Oh, i do really love this hair. It just feels so nice. It doesn't get too naughty um. I love the curls. I'M very much a kale kind of girl. I uh curly blow well, i used to curl it blow my bio hair before um, which is nice. I think that's about as tacky as i'm gon na get that for now. So we're just gon na again. Stick that down, so we wan na make sure that we don't stick any of the hair down as well. Here we go, which i think i've just done there we go sorry, there's a mirror, there's a mirror behind there that i'm also using at the moment. It'S obviously a little bit clearer than my tiny phone screen. So with this, i do think i could do with plucking a little bit out of the middle there and, like i said before, you can use concealer, which is great and just to make that little natural parting look a little bit better. There we go then, and so that is how you glue down the front of your lace, front, topper i'll, show you so now. When i pull that up, you can barely tell oh same on that side. I think i need to give that glue a go again, but now, on this side, barely lifts up. You can see here in the middle. How good does that? Look? You might find that you do have a little bit of glue stuck on your forehead, so i will go and just get a towel and wipe that off, after maybe a q-tip. So it's not as bad um, but there we go how natural all of my hair's underneath. So i've still got sideburns. It fits on nicely i'll. Just show you the back. So here we go it's nice and long like i said this is 16 inches. It blends in very nicely with my hair. You can't see any of the old patches so there we have it. Oh, my god! How amazing is this here? I think i might need to buy more toppers, okay, so, in the notes below, i will put obviously the type of hair. It is the color it is, but this is a chocolate caramel which is 16 r, which is very nice and the length and all the details, there's also a code down there um for you. If anyone wants to purchase anything from uni, wigs and you'll find it down there. Thank you very much.
