How To: Install Lace Front Wigs For Beginners ( Detailed Step-By-Step, Tips & Demo)

He loves welcome back to my channel we're just going to hop into this video because, of course, I forgot to film in intro. This is my braiding pattern that I usually do underneath my wigs very simple, just a few braids straight to the back, and now I'm adding some eco styler gel on my edges and I'm just looking down these bad boys. I always look down my edges before I go in with my gut to be glue, gel and start to lay my lace, because I just find that when my edges are very nice and slick one, it makes the way look more natural and two. When my edges are laid, my weave doesn't lift up as much so if you have a problem with your wigs lifting up, try laying your edges, because the frizzy edges may be lifting your wig over time. So now that the edges are laid grabbing that got to beat glue gel and I'm just putting a layer in front of my hairline now we all know. Well, maybe you don't know if you don't know, okay, you don't want to stick your wig on your hairline. Just because in tension from your wig can pull out your hair, so always do it in front of your hairline, and now I'm grabbing this free, spec's free spray, black. I got to be glued and I'm just putting that a little bit on my edges and also on that glue that I just laid down and, of course, I'm grabbing a stocking cap and putting it all on, and so now I am grabbing my wig. This is how it looks. This is by wig encounters. Is there Indian remy and it is 22 inches long and just checking that glue, making sure it's tacky and ready to go? You all know how that goes. If some places are too dry just add on some more got some blue gel. I have to do that often and oops. I forgot this this week. This wig cap color is not going to work, so I'm just grabbing some bronzer just putting a light layer about 1/2 that waking cap and, as you can see, just moving my wig up front, placing the lace on that glue and I'm using my fingers to press That down and you'll see - and I hear in a second that I'm actually going to use some scissors - that I had handy to press the lace down. But don't worry if you don't feel comfortable. I'Ve used a pen before I've used a. I think. I'Ve even used the spoon before, but you know the the best way. The most like clean and professional way is to use a rat, a rat tail comb, and now that my wig is down on the gel, I'm just grabbing my silk scarf and I'm just going to put this tight on my head because we want. We want this. Wig to stay put so we're going to make sure that it completely dries with our wig being as type on our head is possible. So after about like five minutes, sometimes I wait ten minutes, maybe 15, depending on what I'm doing throughout this process and yeah just take it down brush through my hair. It'S all secure, you know, give it a little pull. If you got to i'm very messy when it comes to my wig application, I always am. I really don't pay too much attention which I probably should because I feel like this is an extra step that just adds 10 more minutes to my process yeah. But as you can see, I accidentally gel down all of the edges, so I just went through with a comb and like home doubt most with those bad boys. But don't worry if you do that. You know just do what I did and what I'm doing right now is just adding some argan oil from OGX onto my hair. I just put it all around, and this is actually some thermal spray. I'M not really sure where this is from. I can't really even recommend it because it's my first time using it - and this is also a sample that I got when I was working at guess. But to me all thermal spray is the exact same. So I have no recommendations. You just want some heat protectant. Whenever you're, adding heat to your hair or human hair and first step to straightening, always always always blow-dry, that's whether you have straight hair like I do. Definitely, if you have curly hair blow drying, just really cuts the straightening process in half. I usually do this on extremely high heat on my wigs just so I can get it as straight as possible and then once you get it as straight as you want just turn it on the cool setting to like lock in moisture and things and after you Do do the hot setting and then the cool setting and then grab your straightener and put it on the hair. It will help it become like extremely so key again. This wig is from wig encounters. I got a lot of buzz on Instagram, because I did my my IG makeup everyday makeup tutorial and everyone was asking about this hair. I have the links down below I have it. I'Ve actually had this wig for like a year. I wore this on my graduation and I did a giveaway, so I had it for almost a year and it's still really nice and I've been wearing it on and off what I'm doing right now is just putting in my side, part y'all know I like really Deep side part so now that I have that I'm just going to go - and I always just go in with the flat iron and test out like how my hair is straightening on a few like a few goes in this part. For some reason it took me like it took me two passes, and then I just check another section to see like is that consistent and that that part took like only one pass to get straight so now that I know that I'm just going to section off My hair, I do like I'm really tacky when it comes to straightening my hair. I never take the time to like go section by section, so I pretty much just do my my hair in like two sections and I just go around. I grab large sections, as you can see, I have a very large fire iron um. This is actually by lioness. I'Ve had this for two or three years yeah. I think I've had this for three years. I did a a Valentine's Day collab with this company. In this flat, iron is as good as new. I don't have any scratches or anything on it. It'S amazing. I have that link down below, but yeah. This is a very powerful flatiron. Tate usually takes one or two takes on here I have the the heat. All the way up and as you can see it's very nice and silky, it's extremely bouncy - all I added was a little bit of oil and a little bit of thermal thermal spray blows ride it in a pass or two of this bad boy and my hair. My hair is getting really late, really late right now and now I'm just taking this jumbo curling wand and I just flatten out the tops of my hair now honest straight wigs. My ends are always crazy. So what I do is, I always go and add a little bump at the end of the ends of my hair, and then I just combed them out what this does is just help them flow better and they just don't look crazy. So now I'm just taking some got to be glue, gel and just gelling my edges down a little bit, and this is next day here my hair straighten next day. I also forgot to film and outro, and this is how it looks. Thank you guys for watching.
