How to Apply Lace Front Wigs Using Double-Sided Tape
- 1). Wash and dry your hair. Secure it in cornrows or with a nylon wig cap.
- 2). Shave or cut any baby hairs around your hairline to protect them from the adhesive.
- 3). Examine the hairline of the lace front wig for a bonding area. Paint on a wig undercoating to the hairline, if necessary.
- 4). Cut the double-sided tape into 2- or 3-inch strips and remove the paper backing from one side. Smaller strips will be easier to shape to the hairline without wrinkling the tape.
- 5). Press the tape onto the entire hairline of the wig. Cut the tape as necessary to conform it to the shape of the hairline. The more tape you apply, the more secure the wig will be.
- 6). Dog-ear the paper backing on the other side of the tape, but do not remove it. This will make it easier to pull off the backing once the wig is on your head.
- 7). Wipe your hairline with a cotton ball soaked in alcohol to remove any body oils.
- 8). Put on the wig and align the hairline as desired.
- 9). Lift the edge of the wig hair line at front, center of the wig. Remove the backing from the piece or pieces of of tape you have revealed and press the tape into your skin. Continue working around your hairline, alternating between the left and right sides to attach the wig evenly.

Tie a silk or nylon scarf around the wig at the hairline to press the wig tightly to your skin while the adhesive sets. Alternatively, you can use a hair dryer to speed the processes.
