The Wig Wardrobe: Must Haves for Lace Installs
My go-tos for a wig install that ACTUALLY lasts. Tap to explore!
Use a satin scarf over your lace when showering or sleeping to prevent your wig from sliding back. The silky material is better than the thick lace band because the band can trap heat. Trapped heat leads to your wig sliding back.
Satin Hair Scarf
Want your hair silky straight and moving? Use this serum with a flat iron for flowing hair. I have only used this with human hair.
BioSilk Silk Therapy Original Reconstructing Treatment
The pattern from the scissors will make your hairline look more realistic. Use this to cut your lace!
Zig Zag Scissors
Use this for cutting off smaller pieces of lace or your wig cap. It’s perfect for small fixes around the ear tabs too.
Eyebrow Razors
Use this to add color to the inside of the wig! For reference, you always want the lace around your forehead to be a little darker than the skin tone on your face. A little goes a long way for quick touch ups. I use level 15.
Ruby Kisses 3D Face Creator Duo Cream Foundation & Concealer ...
One of the best melting sprays I have seen! Make sure you let the spray dry on your lace before applying a melting band or hair wrapping strip.

Graham Pro Beauty Wrapp-It Jr Strips Black
Wax sometimes isn’t strong enough for laying your wigs! You NEED spritz. Spray this on a section of your wigs, let it dry a little, then hot comb that down. Do not spray too much or your lace will be hard! It smells amazing and adds shine to hair☺️
