How to Apply a Full Lace Wig

Full lace wigs are a popular choice for those experiencing full hair loss, offering versatility and a natural hairline. Unlike other wigs, full lace wigs are made entirely of lace, which makes them lightweight and easy to style—but also requires careful application. In this guide, we’ll walk you through a step-by-step method for applying a full lace wig, focusing on a tape-based approach demonstrated by Amber.

Applying a full lace wig doesn’t have to be intimidating. By using Amber’s tape method, you can achieve a secure, natural look with minimal effort. With practice, you’ll be able to wear your wig comfortably all day, style it freely, and enjoy the confidence boost that comes with wearing a luxury lace wig.

Materials You’ll Need

• Full lace wig
• Double-sided wig tape (I recommend Walker Blue Tape for strength and reliability)
  Scissors (optional, for trimming tape or lace)
• Step 1: Preparing the Wig

Before applying the wig, make sure your hair is flat and secured. Most full lace wigs are lightweight and flexible, which makes them look natural but requires proper anchoring.

Step 2: Applying the Tape

• Place small pieces of double-sided tape along the hairline: near the temples, along the forehead, and a little bit on top if needed.
• You can also tape the nape of the neck if you want to tie your hair up. This provides extra security.
• Peel off the protective layer of the tape carefully. It can be tricky at first, but with practice, it becomes easier.

Tip: Take your time with the tape. Patience and precision ensure a secure hold and natural look.

Step 3: Positioning the Wig

• Adjust the straps inside the wig to fit your head comfortably.
• Slide the wig from the back of your head to the front.
• Press down gently on the taped areas to secure the lace to your scalp.

Once the wig is in place, shake your head lightly to make sure it feels secure.

Step 4: Styling Your Full Lace Wig

With the tape firmly in place, you can now part your hair anywhere and style it as you like. If you’ve taped the nape, you can also tie your hair up confidently without worrying about the wig shifting.

Tips for Success

Practice makes perfect: don’t get frustrated if it takes a few tries to position the wig correctly.
Longer nails can help when peeling tape.
Always use quality double-sided tape to ensure a secure hold throughout the day.

Applying a full lace wig might seem intimidating at first, but with the right materials and technique, it’s a straightforward process. The freedom to style your hair in different ways, even with full hair loss, makes it a worthwhile investment.

Try this step-by-step approach, and soon you’ll have a secure, natural-looking full lace wig ready for any occasion.
