An art form, such as maintaining a perfect lace frontal, requires one to have patience and use the proper techniques to create the desired look. The key to a great install (or lace-front wig) staying melted and fresh is following the rule of "less = more." Heavy oils/buttery products can create buildup on your lace and cause it to lift early; however, you could use lightweight, alcohol-free mousses to create defined baby hairs (the tiny hairs around your hairline).

Daily Rituals for Longevity

• Nightly Protection: Never sleep without a silk or satin scarf. Tying down your edges prevents friction, which is the primary culprit behind balding lace.
• Gentle Detangling: Always brush from the tips upward to the root using a wide-tooth comb. Hold the base of the hair to ensure you aren't putting unnecessary tension on the delicate mesh.

Deep Cleaning

For a refresh, use lukewarm water and sulfate-free products to wash your wig. Avoid scrubbing; instead, gently squeeze out the suds using your hands. If you have an adhesive residue on your lace frontal, use a specifically designed citrus-based solvent to remove it rather than pulling at the material to remove it. Making sure to take care of your wig will help keep the realistic look of the front hairline as well as extending the life of the wig; thus, allowing for that "just installed" look for weeks.
