ALL ABOUT HAIR
Where does the hair come from?
The hair is harvested from a single donor (in some cases it is necessary to use hair from two donors) and it's cuticles are kept in tact and aligned in the same direction to ensure manageability. If the cuticles are not aligned, the hair is more prone to tangling and matting.
How do I prevent shedding?
Girlie Lace Wigs recommends that you use knot sealer to seal your knots on the underside of your wig. Flip your wig inside out and be sure to protect the hair that is left out, you could use a plastic bag. Spray a light coat of knot sealer on the knots of the lace wig cap. You should seal your knots after every washing. Knot sealer is available at Love My Hair Boutique, please see our adhesives/solvents section. As an alternative, you may use clear acrylic spray, you may find this spray in your local craft shop. Also, you must shampoo and condition your wig, not washing your wig will cause the wig to shed.
ALL ABOUT LACE
What is French Lace?
French Lace is delicate, yet durable. If you are a first time lace wig wearer French Lace is recommended because it does not tear as easily.
What is Swiss Lace?
Swiss Lace is slightly thinner, yet very delicate. This type of lace rips easily. It is best to learn how to apply lace wigs prior to advancing to Swiss Lace.
What is Injection Silk Base Lace?
Injection Silk Base Lace is the newest innovation to lace wigs. The base is made from 2 swiss lace pieces (one on top and one on bottom). The hair is tied using reverse ventilation, which involves tying the hair from the bottom to the top so the knots are hidden in the bottom lace. This gives the appearance that the hair is growing directly from the scalp.
How do I dye the lace?
Girlie Lace Wigs recommends that you only dye the lace that is visible (the front hairline and perimeter). Take a q-tip and dab it into Rit Fabric Dye, dab q-tip onto the wig cap base where you wish to change the color. We recommend you use a Rit Dye that is darker than your skin tone.
How much lace do I cut?
Girlie Lace Wigs recommends that you use a new pair of sharp scissors to trim the lace away. Make sure to leave 1/8" to 1/4" of bare lace. If you leave some of the lace uncut, if your lace begins to fray, your wig will not loose hair. The small strip of lace disappears when it is attached to your head.
How do I prevent lace from fraying?
Girlie Lace Wigs recommends that you use Fray Check. Fray Check can be purchased online at Love My Hair Boutique(TM). Please see the instructions under the product information on how to use Fray Check.
What color lace should I choose?
Choose the lace color that closely matches your skin tone. It is always better for the lace to be too light than to be too dark.
APPLICATION & REMOVAL
Do I need a professional to apply my lace wig?
Yes, until you lean on your own. However, glueless units can be taken on and off at your convenience.
What do I do with my own hair?
If you have long hair, you may have your hair cornrow braided in a circle or straight to the back. If you have thin or short hair, you may wrap your hair or mold your hair straight back. The main goal is to achieve the flattest surface for the lace wig.
Do I have to shave my hairline back prior to application?
No. You do not have to shave your hairline, it completely depends on your preference. You can achieve a natural look without doing this. There is not need if you are wearing a glueless unit.
How long can I keep my wig on?
The amount of time you will keep your wig on depends on your preference. Once you decide how long you would like to wear your wig, you will then choose an adhesive based on the hold time. For a hold of up to 6 weeks, we recommend Ultra Hold Adhesive. For a hold of up to 10 days, we recommend Davlyn (green label) adhesive. Please be sure to check the hold time for each adhesive listed under the product description to make sure the adhesive is right for you. You may view all our adhesives here. Glueless Units do not require any adhesive.
How do I remove glue from my lace?
