So, how to bleach knots on lace closures?

Step 1 Turn either your frontal, closure or 360 frontal lace wig inside out and pin it down to a foam head.If your closure has baby hairs, pin them down with clips to make sure they are out of the way.

Step 2 Scoop 1-2 scoops of lightening powder into your mixing bowl.Add less than an equal amount of the developer into the bowl and mix into a thick consistency.

Step 3The consistency should be similar to thick cottage cheese or frosting. You don't want your mixture to be runny because it will seep through the lace and saturate the hairs on the lace.

Step 4 Apply the mixture onto the lace closure with your applicator brush using swift, even strokes. The mixture should be evenly applied in a thick layer across the entire piece of lace.

Step 5 Let it sit for no more than 30 minutes or until there is a noticeable change in color at the base of the lace. When you notice the hairs at the hairline of your lace start to lighten, just slightly honey blonde, it's time to go on to the next step.

Step 6 Rinse the lightener off of the lace closure with the lace facing downwards first to avoid getting bleach onto the hair. Continue rinsing until all of the bleach is off.

Step 7 Thoroughly wash and condition your lace closure or frontal, making certain you have rinsed out all of the lighteners.

Step 8 Let your lace closure air dry. If you're in a rush, you can blow dry, but it's best to let your hair air dry after a chemical process to avoid damage.
