We've created this guide to explain all you need to know to achieve a seamless look and ensure your HD lace front wig lasts for a long time. Keep reading to discover our top tips for HD lace wig maintenance and care.
What Is an HD Lace Wig?
Another name for HD lace is "Swiss Lace." This material is more transparent than the lace on other lace-front wig designs. As a result, wearers can show off an exposed hairline, creating a natural, attractive look.
HD lace front wigs blend in seamlessly with any skin tone. That's why they are frequently used in popular media, such as in movies and on television. Think of them as Hollywood-quality wigs!
How to Care for HD Lace Human Hair Wigs
The fine texture of HD lace makes it fragile, which means it requires special care to maintain its integrity. The key to a long-lasting wig is regular care and proper storage.
Here are our top tips for maintaining these delicate hairpieces:
- Use the Right Glue: Always choose a wig adhesive with a formula specifically created to secure lace front wigs. We advise you to do a patch test on a small area of skin before using a new wig glue. The right glue is easier to clean and will hold your wig in place without damaging the fragile HD lace.
-
Clean After Each Use: It's important to clean any adhesive off of the HD lace in between wears. If not, it can build up over time, and your lace will no longer maintain the transparent quality.
Use warm water and liquid soap or white conditioner. Some women prefer to use olive oil to loosen and remove glue. Don't forget to clean the clips thoroughly, too. - Wash Every Few Weeks: HD lace frontal wigs aren't typically for everyday wear due to the delicate nature of the lace. With that said, you should still wash and condition any human hair wig a minimum of every few weeks. Consider designating a wig care day about twice per month to keep those tresses looking sleek and shiny.
- Take It Off At Night: Wearing HD lace front wigs to bed can damage both your natural hair and the lace on the wig. For ease of removal, consider using a short-term wig gel and a wig grip instead of a long-term adhesive.
- Store It Correctly: Always store your wig on a wig head or wig stand when you aren't wearing it. Ideally, keep it somewhere with limited airflow. This helps to maintain the wig structure and keeps it looking natural.
- Leave Dye to the Professionals: Most HD lace wigs are pre-plucked and bleached. The best way to change the color is through a depositing process. While you can dye human hair wigs, this process is best left to a professional. If not, you run the risk of permanently damaging your wig.
-
Be Gentle: The final and most important tip is simply to be gentle with your HD lace front wig. Avoid heat styling, if possible. If you do choose to heat style, always be diligent about using a heat protectant.
Lay HD lace wigs flat to dry rather than drying them on your wig head. Always wait until your wig is completely dry before brushing or styling.
A little extra care is key to a new-looking, long-lasting HD full lace wig. If you stay on top of wig maintenance, you'll have a Hollywood-quality, natural-looking wig for years to come.
