The human hair is knotted into the lace hole on the lace part and sewn on the wig cap. With all the lace around, it allows you to part your hair in any direction you want and achieves versatile hairstyles.

How to cut a lace front wig to make it natural?

Step one: Braid your hair and put on the wig

To let the wig sit on your head evenly, you need to braid your hair into cornrows or a twist out. Then cover the hair with a wig cap to avoid friction from the wig base. Next, put on the human hair wig and adjust the straps to fit your head.

Step two: Secure the lace on the forehead

After wearing a wig, the important thing is to secure the lace so that it can rest flat on the forehead. You can apply a hair strap on your forehead or use clips to clip the wig down.

Step three: Cut off the ear tab

For this step, you can wrap your hair up and use a comb to part the hair above your ear and some clips to pin up the hair, which allows you to see better and ensure you do not cut off any extra hair lace. Then you can cut the lace around the shape of your ear for the natural result on both sides. Make sure you don't cut the elastic band near the ear tab.

Step four: Cut the lace into pieces

To make the process easier, you can cut the lace into small sections to prevent snags or overly jagged edges. In the step, cutting straight across is not suggested. Make your first cut straight down the middle of the lace and then your temple.

After that, cut the extra lace and you will be all set. Remember to pull the lace taut and cut each section along the hairline to avoid cutting it into the hairline.

Step five: Glue Lace Down
