Tips On Caring for Your Lace Front Wigs

April 02, 2024

Lace front wigs are a fabulous way to take your hairstyle to the next level without damaging your natural locks. Designed to blend seamlessly with your own hair, they are the go-to choice for celebrities. If you want to give one a try, or you already have, it’s imperative to take proper care of the wig for looks and longevity. It should be stored and maintained well for the best results. Here’s how to do just that. 

Minimize Shedding

The last thing you want is for your lace front wig to start losing its strands. Over time, that will result in a thinner and less attractive style and you might end up having to replace the wig altogether. To minimize shedding, there are some steps you can take to keep it to a minimum.

• Avoid combing and styling the wig if it’s wet.
• Don’t use more hair products than is necessary. 
• Always take the adhesive off the wig before washing. 
• Choose cool to warm water, never hot water to wash your wig. 
• Comb the wig from the tip to the root, using careful strokes. 

You can also use a bit of glue on knots so that they don’t pull out when combing and styling the wig, which helps reduce the risk of bald patches. Overall, it’s best to be very gentle with the strands on your wig, which ensures that they don’t get pulled out or fall out. You spent a good deal of money on your wig, so it makes sense to protect your investment with proper care. Keep reading to find out more about that. 

Proper Care Tips For Lace Front Wigs

Taking good care of your wig, which includes washing, styling and maintenance is as important as your own natural hair. Use the following tips to keep your lace front wig looking its best all the time. 

• Choose the right products - avoid harsh ingredients, like alcohol and most chemicals. 
• Be gentle - comb and style with care and avoid excessive pulling and tugging at the wig. 
• Brush properly - be gentle, brush from tip to root and use caution when removing tangles. 
• Avoid too much heat - excessive heat can damage your wig, so go easy on blow drying and heat styling. 
• Wrap it when not in use - if you wear your wig to bed, be sure to cover it with a sleeping cap or turban to protect it while you sleep. 
• Ask a stylist - if you have questions or are unsure what to do with your wig, get in touch with your stylist, who can likely tell you what to do. 
• Practice routine maintenance - your wig is an investment, so make sure to schedule regular maintenance for it, which some experts recommend doing every 14 days. 
• Store it properly - when you aren’t wearing your wig, keep it a sealable satin bag or on a synthetic head.
