Prep & Protect 🤍
Everything I use to prep my hairline and lace for a smooth, secure install.
A good base makes such a difference! I use wig caps to keep everything underneath my wig smooth and help create a flatter foundation for my install.
BEEOS Skinlike HD Wig Cap, 4 Pieces Invisible
I use this during prep to remove excess oils and product around my hairline before applying adhesive.
Equate 91% Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol, 32 fl oz
One of my favorite ways to get a better lace match. I use lace tint when I need the lace to blend more naturally with my skin.

Melt & Secure ✨
My go-to products for securing my lace, getting a strong hold, and creating that seamless melted finish. 🤍✨
One of my install essentials when I want a secure hold. I apply it in thin layers and let each layer get tacky before laying my lace.
Ericka J. Hold Me Down Waterproof Lace Wig Glue
I use this when I’m working on that final melt. It helps me lay everything down and get a cleaner, more seamless-looking hairline.
Lace Melting Spray
I always tie my lace down with a melting band after applying my melting products. It helps keep everything flat while the lace sets.

Flat & Flawless 🔥
One of my secrets to getting the top of my wig sleek. I use it around my part and roots before going in with my hot comb.
Wax Sticks For Hair
THIS makes the difference between a bulky wig and a flat install for me. I use mine around the roots, part and hairline for a polished finish.
Hot Combs
I use this throughout my installs for sectioning, creating a clean part and working around the lace. Simple but necessary!
Rat Tail Combs
Style & Finish 💕
My favorite finishing products and tools for styling my wigs, adding definition, and getting that polished final look. ✨
I especially love mousse on curly and wavy wigs. It helps me define the texture and control the hair without weighing everything down.
MOUSSE DEF Texture Foam® 7 oz
I use heat protectant before applying direct heat to my wigs. I still want that sleek finish while taking care of the hair.
Fantasia High Potency IC Heat Protector
My go-to when I want sleek, straight hair. I use it after the install is laid to really polish the finished style.
Flat Irons - Tools & Brushes - 121 Products | Ulta Beauty
I use this when I want to add soft curls, waves or body after installing. It can completely change the finished look.
Curling Irons & Wands
Removal & Cleanup 🫧
Everything I use to safely remove my wigs, break down leftover adhesive, and keep my lace clean and ready for the next install. 🤍
I don’t like pulling at my lace during removal. Adhesive remover helps loosen everything so I can take my wig down more gently and clean up leftover glue.
