Good Evenin' people,
I hope you'll are enjoyin' the rain.But as you can see above that there is something wrong with each of these pictures.They all contain Lace Front Applications that make you put your hand to your chin and go "Hmmm.." or in my case "Where the *!@k they do that at?" =/
But as you can see even celebs can make that fatal mistake of getting a bad lace job. So again, I am here with my own personal tips on how to keep your lace front wigs lookin' fresh and poppin' and not like they're about to pop off the side of your forehead...like Beyonce's haha =p(Sorry Jay,lol)
Rule #1- As We Learned in 1st Grade Art Class-Cut Along the Dotted Lines
I know for some of you, the discovery of the Lace front wig was your yellow brick road to the hairline you've always wanted.Sorry to be the one to tell ya' Hun, but that just aint gonna cut it. The purpose of the Lace front is to help give a more natural look to your wig. So giving yourself a straight line when you were born with a widow's peak(or devil's point) is well...pointless.. and tryin' to give yourself a smaller forehead by pulling the wig down to just above your eyebrows is NOT a good look...STAY WITH YOUR NATURAL HAIRLINE!!!
Rule #2-Boo,Please put the Baby Hair to bed..ZZzzz
Okay so maybe you do have Indian or In'gine(pronounced "Engine")in your family.But you and me both know that the over-gel'd,over-done baby hair that you have slicked down the side of your temples are not courtesy of the Cherokees or any other tribe you wanna claim. Now I will admit that with proper usage,baby hairs can be used to accentuate a style but there is a such thing as going overboard.
Rule # 3- Lace fronts Don't Always Have To Be Lace fronts
There are some people just can't stand the hassle of a Lace Front(like myself).An alternative can be to wear it as a half wig by simply cutting off your lace and combing your hair over the top. Now keep in mind that with your natural hair showing both color and texture are now a factor.Please do not have your #4 brown hair combed over your #1 jet black hair trying to convince yourself and others that it blends.Or do not attempt to leave your too obvious new growth out trying to "mesh" it together with that Silky Yaki Perm..Who you foolin' mama? Nobodyyy=/ Remember the flat iron is your friend.
Rule #4-This Is NOT a Plaster Job,So Go Easy On The Glue..
You've seen it..We all have.You see the girl with the gorgeous 26 inch hair blowing in the wind.Swingin' from side to side and what can you say,she is definitely workin' it. But as she gets closer,your original thought of "Who does her hair?" turns into "WHO DOES HER HAIR?!?! There is an obvious halo of glue outlining her hairline and again she is trying to act as if she didn't see it there...righttt.. So please if you have to use glue use a light hand and make friends with the glue remover..
P.S Another reason to ho light on the glue is because it can cause breakage at the roots so proceed with caution...
Rule #5-When In Doubt, Leave It Too The Professionals
Lastly but definitely not least. We all know it is a recession and times are hard but some things are not to be done without proper supervision, or at least an honest girlfriend present to say "Uh Huh gurll,You know you wrong.TAKE IT OFF!" So warning to the wise, if you do not have a cosmetology license or extensive practice in the wig area,please do not go outside without a proper wig application.Remember, You're only fooling yourself;)
