How to choose human hair or synthetic hair?  

Human hair lace front wigs are generally considered to be superior to synthetic hair wigs. While synthetic hair wigs are more affordable, they are harder to maintain and have a shorter lifespan. On the other hand, human hair wigs are easier to maintain and can last for at least 2 years with proper care. Synthetic hair wigs, even with the best care, typically last for a maximum of 1 year.  

How to wear the lace front wigs?  

1. Prepare your natural hair  

Braid your hair close to your head or put it in a wig cap to create a flat surface for the wig.  

2. Clean your forehead  

Use a cotton pad soaked in alcohol to clean your forehead and remove any oils or dirt. This will help the wig adhere better.  

Put on a wig cap: If you have long hair, it's recommended to use a wig cap to keep your hair in place and create a smooth base.  

3. Adjust the wig cap  

Position the wig cap so that it covers your entire head and hairline. Secure it in place using bobby pins if needed.  

4. Put on the wig  

Hold the wig by the ear tabs and start by placing it at your forehead, slightly above your natural hairline. Gently pull it over your head, adjusting the wig until it fits comfortably.  

5. Secure the wig  

To keep the wig in place, use the wig's internal combs or straps, which are adjustable. Make sure it is snug but not painfully so.   

6. Blend the hairline  

Use a comb or your fingers to blend the lace front wig's hairline with your natural hairline for a seamless look.  

7. Style the wig  

You can style the wig as desired using heat tools or products. Be mindful of the wig's material and follow any special care instructions.   

Remember to take care of your wig by washing and conditioning it regularly, and storing it properly when not in use.  

How to wash lace front wigs?  

To safely clean lace front wigs, follow these steps using gentle shampoo products:  

• Choose a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to use on the wig, as sulfates can damage and dry out the hair.  
• Before cleaning, untangle the wig using a wide-tooth comb to soften the hair and allow for better cleaning and nourishment.  
• Soak the wig in warm water for about five minutes.  
• Apply the shampoo to the wig's hair, gently cleaning it without rubbing or pulling.  
• Rinse the wig thoroughly with clean water to remove all traces of shampoo.  
• Apply conditioner to the wig, avoiding the hair roots to prevent damage and hair loss. Leave it on for five minutes.  
• Rinse the conditioner off with fresh water, ensuring no residue is left behind.  
• Gently towel dry the wig to remove excess moisture, then allow it to air dry naturally on a shelf. A hairdryer can be used on a low setting with a diffuser if time is limited.  
• Optionally, apply some essence to the wig to moisturize and enhance its beauty and shine.  

Tips to store your lace front wigs  

• To ensure the longevity of your lace front wig when not in use, follow these care tips:  
• Avoid exposing the wig to direct sunlight to prevent fading and dullness.  
• Store the wig in a cool place away from sources of heat and a clean environment with minimal dust.
