13. Should I cut the lace?
The shorter the lace the shorter the life span of the wig. With good application when applying the lace to your forehead is that the lace simply disappears creates an illusion of hair growing directly from the scalp. When you receive your wig and you find that the lace is too long, (if it is touching your eyebrow), then of course we recommend trimming it slightly. But cut on the curve as you do not want to disrupt the cross tension which ensures a proper fit.

It can be drawn back into a low pony tail, higher if you choose to have the thin skin or extended french/swiss lace at the nape and apply adhesive to hold the wig to the nape. The hair can be pulled back away from the face or you can choose to wear the hair half up and down.

21. What are the adhesive and tapes that I need to use on my wig?
There are various adhesives (glue) or tapes suitable of being used on human skn for securing your lace front wig on the market. The most popular brands are misty tight, tight grip, spirit gum or various medical grade double sided tapes.

First, try on the wig without applying any form of adhesive. You are determining where your natural hairline should begin with your lace. Do not cut the lace until you have determined how much lace you want to be left. Remember the lace will not be so obvious when adhesive is applied.

Clean the area where you want to tack down the lace (usually the temples) of oils and debris from the skin. Always use the liquid adhesive sparingly where you feel appropriate, either the temples, near the center forehead or a thin line across the forehead. Full detail instruction on lace front wig application will be included in all orders.

22. How do I remove a lace front wig without damaging it?
Always proceed gently when removing wigs. Using adhesive remover, dab or spray at the area from the hair side of the lace where the adhesive /tape were placed. Wait for a minute for the adhesive/ tape to soften. After a minute gently pull away from the skin slowly and carefull. Always clean your piece before re-applying by placing on a paper towel and dabbing at the adhesive/ tape to dissolve the glue. Never use anything but approved cleaners for this process.
