putting on lace front wig

In helens lesson today we got to apply the lace wig that we set last week on each other. 

the lace wig was dressed out into a 40s up-do, with two rolls at the front. 

What u will need 

• a model 
• the wig dressed out and styled 
• hair grips 
• stoking cup 
• lace wig blue and remover 
• moulding spinge wrapped in tissues  

how to 

1. there are two ways one can prep the hair before installing the wig [french braid or pin curl and rap] 
2. i chose to pin curl the hair at the front and wrap the back to get a more flat results . to pin curl, take a section of the hair and wrap around the fingers and then pin it down on the to the scalp. i did this to the front of then hair and then wrapped the hair at the back.
3. next take the stoking cup and ask the model to hold the front then apply it to her head, then using a tale comb tack in and hair that is still visible  
4. using hair grips, secure the stoking cup in place.
5. taking the wig ask the model to hold the front, then place it on her head. using your fingers move the wig till it sits properly and its aligned with the ears. 
6. when u are conftable with the positioning of the wig then, apply a little glue on there front, making sure not to apply any on her hair. using the moulding sponge start dabbing on the lace part to make the wig blend and sit flat    

Reflection 

 

applying the wig to day was very fun, it was good to see the end results of my wig and to see how natural it looked.
i also got an opportunity to get a wig applied on me. it was very interesting to see my self in a wig, and to know what it fells like to have glue applied on the forehead to keep the wig secure. i found it to be itch at fast, but then i got used to it.
