Before You Apply Your Lace Wig
Purchasing a lace wig cap protectant sealer will easily prolong the life of your lace wig. What the protectant is sealing are the hairs knotted on the lace. Overtime, these hairs can shed from regular washing or brushing. The product also helps to strengthen the lace front for adhesives to adhere to easily.
This is also perhaps one of the easiest ways to maintain your lace wig. After purchasing, simply brush your lace wig hair, spray on the sealer and let dry. It is suggested that you reapply about 2-3 times if it is a brand new lace wig. Overtime, you should also reapply before washing or getting it professionally repaired.
While You Wear Your Wig
There are a few things to do while wearing your wig as well that only require common sense. As with your own hair, your lace wig hair should be kept safe from harsh weather conditions like extreme heat and wind. Wrapping the lace wig hair up in a silk bonnet as you would your normal hair is a good idea to protect it from these conditions.
A few other common sense things that many of us forget are suggested as well. A wide tooth comb should be used instead of one of the harsher brushes that many people use. It will decrease the chance of tangles and shedding of cuticles. Since many people pull to harshly on their own hair when brushing, the wide tooth comb will lessen the affect of a heavy hand.
Even though these tips are applicable for all lace wig types, there is something that is unique to synthetic lace wigs. Synthetic hair tends to tangle easier and becomes "rattier" quicker. To combat those ratty ends, you can add a track of weave hair onto the nape of your own hair or at the nape of your lace wig. This one track can easily be replaced once it becomes ratty instead of having the ends of the lace wig remain permanently damaged.
Lace front wigs should be cared for just like regular hair. The reason for this is because many lace wigs are made from top quality human hair with the cuticle intact. If you have a human hair wigs made with virgin Indian Remy hair, it should be well maintained to keep it looking beautiful for a long time especially after spending so much money.
