Applying the lace wig on to your model and taking it off

Now that the hair is ready and style it is time to apple the wig to your models hair.

  1. Start with the front of your models hair create a start middle parting.
  2. take a section of one side of the parting and create a pin curl twist it over so it is facing flat on to the scalp them pin it in having the hair pins cross over.
  3. repeat this process and use this technique up to the crown of the head. 
  4. repeat the same steps on the other side of the head.
  5. Since my models hair was so fine I did not wrap the hair around the crown of the hair instead i created two braids.
  6. Once the two braids had been created I then wrapped them over each other and pinned it down so that when it comes to putting on the wig the bobby pins can catch on easily to the hair underneath making it secure.
  7. Now its time to add on the wig cap. Get your model to make bunny ears with their finger apply the front of the wig cap to their fingers and ask them to hold it.
  8. Then stretch the wig cap over your models hair and pull it down.
  9. once the wig cap is on pull the wig cap up to your models hair line.
  10. make sure there are no baby hairs coming out use the end of your tail comb and tuck in the hairs around the outline of your models head.
  11. Secure the wig cap with some loose grips at the front, back and middle of your models head so it is nice and secure












Removing your wig off the wig block
  1. First take out the ribbon from the front of your wig very gently remove all the pins, do not just pull it off as it can tear the lace at the front.
  2. Once you have taken off the ribbon at the front, now remove all the T pis from where you have secured the wig.



Apply the wig on to your model
  1. Ask your model to make bunny ears again and now put the front of the wig on her fingers and then gently pull it back to fit on your models head.
  2. Make sure your wig is on properly by checking the corners of the wig just above the ears that the are equal and the corners f the nape of the hair. Re-adjust so it sits perfectly on your model.
  3. Now start securing the wig by using a loose grip hair pin, poke it through the wig and push it back in to you models hair and this should secure the wig on tight. repeat the same process for all four edges of the wig (on top of the ear and the nape of the wig).
  4. Now its time to glue the front lace to your models forehead. You can do this by using spirit gum but only a little bit do not glue the middle of the head just the sides of the lace where the side burns are.
  5. stretch the lace down firm but making sure your not holding it too tight as it can rip the lace the apply a little bit of spirit gum. Once you have use your dabber to make the edges smooth. Repeat the same process on the other side.
  6. Now your model is ready and her wig is lovely and secure.







Removing the wig off your model
  1. Get  cotton pad and apply spirit gum remover on it.
  2. Soak it on to the area you have applied spirit gum on to and leave it for a few seconds to break down the spirit gum.
  3. Start to rub the cotton pad on the area making the lace feel loose then gently lift up the lace as you do this process.
  4. Once the lace is safely removed now take out the hair pins from your models head where you secured the wig and gently pull off the wig.
  5. Remove the wig cap and pin curls for your model and thats it.
