Best wig tips for beginners

Most people  love frontal wig installations and how realistic and natural they look, but sometimes become  a little bit insecure about investing in this type of wig when they have  never done any frontal installations before.

Is this how you feel at the moment? If you are considering buying a frontal lace wig for the first time, it is important to take into consideration everything you will need in order to get the final look of your dreams.

With the help of LolaSilk lace wig specialists, here is  a list below with some best tips and advice to help beginners get started with their first frontal lace wig.

Do your research

Try to understand the types of lace wigs available on the market and the ones that are suitable for beginners. Avoid going for the most expensive options like Swiss, HD, or transparent lace if you will be trying to install a frontal lace wig for the first time. The best lace type for beginners is the normal brown lace, which is not the most expensive one, and you will find many options of frontal lace wigs online using this type of lace. It is possible to blend almost any type of lace with your own skin by applying a little bit of foundation, so don’t worry too much about it when shopping for frontal lace wigs.

Don’t believe in everything that you hear

You will hear a lot about “ready-to-go” or “glueless” wigs, but not all the wigs will be like that. This is why you should buy frontal lace wigs for sale from a supplier that you trust. To be considered glueless, a wig must have additional combs or bands closer to the lace part to help keep it in place, like the ones in the photo below from LolaSilk.

Also, it is important to consider that everyone is different, so you will probably have to customise your wig to suit your preferences, which means plucking the hairline and bleaching the knots to make it look super natural on your head. You will also have to make use of some sort of glue or freezing spray at some point to build different hairstyles, especially half-updos, so you shouldn’t obsess so much about buying a glueless wig at first.

Prepare your natural hair for the installation

For a frontal lace wig to fall flat on your head, it is important to create a smooth base by brushing or braiding your natural hair. Also, make sure your natural hair is clean and moisturised before you install your wig to prevent any damage.

Take your time fitting the wig before cutting the lace especially around the ears

This is a crucial moment in any Frontal lace wig installation because once you cut it, you can’t undo it. It is important to place your wig comfortably on your head, adjust it, and make sure that the hair looks symmetrical on both sides of your head before you start cutting. A good incentive for you to only consider buying frontal lace wigs is that you won’t be so scared of cutting it the wrong way for the first time.

Practice installation

Don’t be cheated that “installing a frontal lace wig for the first time is super easy”, but there is nothing that can’t be learned, and as with anything in life, it just requires practise. It is also important to practise removing the wig from your hair, especially when you use glue for your installations, so you don’t create any damage to your natural hair or to the wig lace. Follow the instructions on the label of the products that you are using to make sure you have everything you need to install and safely remove your wig.

Book a professional hairstylist

You might feel insecure about doing everything by yourself at the beginning. If you go to a professional hairstylist, he or she can customise the wig and cut the lace for you, so you don’t have to worry about it. After this part is done, you won’t have to worry about it again until you start looking again for frontal lace wigs. The hairstylist can also give you some tips on how to install and style your wig, which you can put into practise at home. It takes some time to master the skill of installing frontal wigs, but if you apply yourself, you will soon be creating amazing and super natural hairstyles and wondering why you haven’t started this journey before.

Owing and installing a frontal lace wig can feel a little bit overwhelming at the beginning, but nothing else will give you that ultra-realistic look that we all love to see. There is no better time to start your search for frontal lace wigs than now. Don’t forget to have a look at LolaSilk’s online store; they have many options of frontal lace wigs that are affordable and perfect for beginners.
