How To Cut a Lace Front Wig-a Step By Step Guide
Useful tools you will need
A lace front wig
clips
A sharp scissor
rat-tail comb
Wig head (optional)
Place The Wig On Your Head Or On a Wig Stand
Whether trimming the lace wig while it's on your head or on a wig head, ensure that the wig is secure and won't move during the lace-cutting process. If you choose wear wig on your head, use adjustable straps or combs to secure it. If you wear the wig on a wig stand, use pins to secure it in place.
Cut Off The Ear Tabs
Remember to start by cutting the lace around the ear tabs. For a newly-purchased lace front wig, the lace tends to be quite wide, extending from one side of the ear to the other. Trimming from one side of the ear to the other may result in an ill-fitting and unnatural lace-cutting appearance.
Start by locating where the lace on both sides of the wig meets the ear tabs. This is the area you'll be trimming. Then, use the pointed end of a rat-tail comb to separate the hair above the ear following the shape of the ear and pin it upward with clips to secure it. Following the natural curve of the ear, begin trimming the lace below the ear. It's okay if some hair comes off with the lace while cutting.
Cut Off The Remaining Lace
Cut the lace vertically from the center of your hairline, dividing it into two sections to cut. Alternatively, you can divide it into even smaller lace sections and trim them one by one, which might be relatively easier to handle and cut.
What’s more, don’t cut too close to your hairline, leaving a small inches of lace beyond the hairline will be better to ensure a seamless blend with your skin.
Pulling the lace taut as you cut it will ensure that the wig’s hairline is cut more neat.
If you want a neat hairline, cut along the lace in a traight line. If you want a more natural lace trimming, cut the front lace in zigzag shape.
Final Check And Adjust The Lace
Pay attention to fine details and make any necessary refinements. Especially if you trimmed the lace while the wig was on a wig head, it's crucial to try it on your head for necessary adjustments and perfecting the trimmed lace sections.
In Summary
Today's tutorial ends here. For a lace front wig, if you want more natural appearance and better blending of the lace with your hairline, choosing a HD lace wig or using foundation to tint the lace can enhance the overall look and make it more perfect.
