Preparing the Lace Front
Measure the head.Hold the tape measure on the natural hairline and run it back to where you want your lace front piece to stop.The length of your lace front piece is up to you.Next,measure from side to side.Hold the tape measure just in front of one ear,where the hairline ends.Wrap the tape measure over the head,to the same spot in front of the opposite ear.To get the most accurate measurement of the head,you'll need to flatten the hair.You can wet the hair to flatten it,or put your hair in a flat style,such as corn rows.Make a pattern.Take a piece of plastic wrap large enough to fit over the head.Wrap it tightly over the top part of the head.Keep it as tight as possible,and fasten it at the back.Apply clear adhesive tape to the plastic wrap to begin forming the pattern.Secure your pattern on a wig block.Carefully remove the pattern from the head and prepare to pin it to your wig block.Take some stuffing and place it in the pattern.Place the pattern on a wig block and secure it using balled straight pins.Once the pattern is secure on the block,go back through and add straight pins along the hairline.Cut the lace.Use the pattern to measure a piece of lace.You'll need some extra lace to work with,so don't cut the piece to the exact size of the pattern.Secure the lace on a wig block.Drape the lace over the pattern on the wig block.Secure the lace along the hairline using balled straight pins.Once you have the lace secured to the wig block,trace the entire hairline using small straight pins.Test the fit of the cap.Remove all the pins from the lace and take the cap off the pattern.Test the fit of the cap and make any necessary adjustments.Take care not to let the lace get ruffled as you work.Keep it smooth and tight.
Preparing the Wig Band
Turn the wig band out to expose the lace.You want to start by bleaching the knots of the lace frontal in order to make it blend with your scalp color.Mix peroxide in a 1:1 ratio and spread the bleach on the lace with a knife as though you were spreading butter on a piece of toast.Do this on the front side of the big band and then turn it over and do the same thing on the back of it.
Rinse Your Lace Wig
Once you have spread the bleach,allow it to set for 30-40 minutes.Set a timer and go do something fun while you wait! When you return,you need to wash off the bleach with shampoo,tint the lace frontal and finally condition your wig.After conditioning and a quick rinse,your wig is ready to pluck!
