The Methods to Make Lace Wig Look Real

One of the most important goals of wearing a full lace wig is the desire to make the wig appear as natural and realistic as possible. Several tell-tale signs may be alerting others to the fact that you are wearing a wig without you even realizing it. There are some simple steps that you can take to make your hair look as attractive and real as possible.

Preparation
Work your own natural hair into as smooth a canvas as possible before applying your wig. Cornrows, twists or a low bun can all provide control that will help your hair slip neatly underneath a wig cap.

Lace
The lace of your wig can either add to or detract from the illusion of it being your own hair. One way to add to a realistic appearance is to select a wig with lace that is close in color to your skin tone.


Styling
How you style your wig is as important as how you style your natural hair. There are specific shampoos, conditioners, sheen sprays and other styling products made especially for wigs.


Storage
When your wig is not being worn, store it on a wig stand or holder to ensure than it retains its shape and that the hair does not become matted or tangled.
