Styling Tips
One of the best things about a human hair wig is how versatile it is — you can curl it, straighten it, colour it, and customise it just like your natural hair. Here's everything you need to know to style your wig like a pro.
✂️ How to Cut Your Lace
Cutting the lace is one of the most important steps for achieving a natural, undetectable look. Take your time — you can always cut more, but you can't add it back!
- Put the wig on and adjust it to sit where you want your hairline to be.
- Use a fine-tooth comb to gently push the baby hairs forward so you can see the lace clearly.
- Using small, sharp scissors (curved lace scissors are ideal), cut along the hairline in small sections. Cut as close to the hairline as possible without cutting the hair knots.
- Cut in a zigzag or curved motion rather than a straight line — this creates a more natural, irregular hairline.
- Leave a tiny bit of lace (about 1–2mm) to allow for adhesive application.
📌 How to Apply Your Wig (Adhesive Method)
- Prep your skin — Clean your hairline with isopropyl alcohol to remove oils. This helps the adhesive bond better.
- Apply a scalp protector (optional but recommended) to protect your skin from the adhesive.
- Apply wig glue or lace tape along your hairline in thin layers. Allow each layer to become tacky before applying the next (usually 2–3 layers).
- Press the lace down firmly along the hairline and hold for 30–60 seconds.
- Use a scarf or wig band to press the edges down while the adhesive sets (10–15 minutes).
- Once set, style as desired!
Tip: For a glueless option, use the adjustable straps and combs inside the wig cap for a secure fit without any adhesive.
💇 Customising Your Hairline
- Baby hairs — Use a small toothbrush or edge brush with a light-hold gel to lay and style baby hairs for a realistic hairline.
- Plucking — If your wig isn't pre-plucked, use tweezers to gently remove a few hairs at the hairline to create a natural density gradient. Work slowly and in small sections.
- Tinting the knots — Use a dark brown or black eyeshadow or knot concealer to darken the lace knots for a more realistic scalp appearance.
🔥 Heat Styling
- Always use a heat protectant spray before applying any heat.
- Use a flat iron or curling wand on low to medium heat (below 180°C / 356°F).
- For curls that last, curl the hair and allow it to cool completely before releasing or brushing.
- Avoid applying heat to the same section repeatedly in one session.
🌈 Can I Colour My Wig?
Yes! Because our wigs are made from 100% human hair, they can be coloured just like natural hair. However, we recommend:
- Going darker rather than lighter — bleaching can weaken the hair strands.
- Using a professional colourist if you're unsure, especially for major colour changes.
- Always doing a strand test first.
- Deep conditioning after any colour treatment to restore moisture.
💤 Overnight Care
- Never sleep in your wig if you can avoid it — friction causes tangling and matting.
- If you do sleep in it, braid the hair loosely and wrap with a silk or satin scarf.
- Store your wig on a wig stand overnight to maintain its style and shape.
