To make a full lace wigs look authentic, care must be taken in preparation, application, and styling. Look for a wig that closely matches your natural hairline, texture, and skin tone. If necessary, tint the lace with foundation or lace tint spray to achieve that seamless blend with your scalp.
Ideally, your natural hair should be braided or flattened before putting on the wig to create a smoother base. Don't wear a wig cap of the same color as your skin for extra realism. Then, go ahead and trim the lace bit by bit, following the contour of the hairline, avoiding an unnatural straight edge.
For durable applications, go for a heavy-duty adhesive or wig glue that dries clear for an invisible finish. A more comfortable fit can be attained by using a wig grip or adjustable straps, as need be. Once fitted, gently press down the lace while using a blow dryer at the lowest speed to set it.
For an even more natural finish, slightly pluck the hairline to achieve a more realistic gradient, and style baby hairs using edge control or mousse so as to soften the transition from lace to skin. Also, make a natural part and use concealer along the parting line to simulate a real scalp.
Then, style the wig to suit your face shape. Regular washing and conditioning will keep the wig looking fresh and realistic in appearance.
