Cutting the lace on a lace front glueless wig can be tricky, but with a steady hand and the proper technique, you can achieve a natural, seamless look. Here’s a step-by-step tutorial to help you cut the lace properly:
Materials Needed:
• Lace front glueless wig
• Scissors
• Adjustable wig cap (optional)
• Clips
• Wig stand or mannequin head (optional)
Step 1: Prepare the Wig
• Place the Wig on a Mannequin Head or the cap facing up like the video. If you have a wig stand or mannequin head, place the wig on it to help you see the lace clearly and cut accurately.
Step 2: Adjust and clip back the hair
• For better visibility, secure the wig with clips or pins so the lace doesn’t shift around.
Step 3: Begin Cutting the Lace
• Use Small, Precise Scissors: Use small, sharp scissors to cut the lace. This gives you better control and precision. Or use pinking scissors to create a seamless transition for the lace to blend and become undetectable.
• Cut Close to the Hairline: Cut as close as possible to the wig's hairline without cutting into the actual hair. We recommend leaving 1/4 of an inch. If necessary, you can always go back and cut more lace off.
• Cut in Zig-Zag or Jagged Movements: Cut in a zigzag pattern rather than a straight line. This helps prevent the lace from looking obvious and ensures it blends more seamlessly with your skin.
Step 4: Continue Cutting Along the Hairline
• Work your way around the entire perimeter of the lace, following the natural shape of your hairline, including any dips and curves.
• When cutting around the ears or temple area, take extra care to avoid cutting too close to the ear tabs or the edges of the wig.
Step 5: Check for Excess Lace
• After cutting, check for any areas where the lace might still be visible or sticking out. • Trim any leftover lace that may be too long or uneven.
Step 6: Style and wear the wig
• That is it! You can throw it on with a glueless wig without any extra steps. No adhesive is needed to secure the wig for all-day wear. If the wig is straight out of the box, the curls may need to be relaxed or touched up.
Step 7: Final Check and Touch-Up
• After cutting the lace, double-check that it blends well with your skin. You can make additional, tiny snips to perfect the cut if there are any minor imperfections.
• If necessary, add more foundation to the lace edge or around the perimeter to ensure it matches your skin tone perfectly.
Additional Tips:
• Work Slowly: It’s better to cut too little than too much. You can always trim more if needed, but it can be difficult to fix once you’ve cut too much.
• Cut While Wearing the Wig: If you cut the lace while wearing the wig, ensure it isn’t too tight or loose, as this can affect how the lace lays.
• Be Cautious Around the Ears: The ear area can be tricky. If you’re unsure, leave a tiny amount of lace, and you can trim more after wearing it to see how it fits. With these steps, you should have a neatly cut lace front that blends naturally with your skin, giving you a flawless look!
