Firstly decide on the technique you will use to place the wig. Finger waves or plaits.
- Apply hair net to flat surfaced hair
- Get the performer to hold the wig by the wig lace half way down the forehead
- Pull the wig over the net or the stocking. Once placed do not pull it forward only jiggle it forward
- Pin the wig to secure it and make sure the pins match the colour of the wig
- Make sure natural hair is not visible under the lace. Push any stray hairs by tail comb
- Glue the lace into place using matte mastix glue. Roll back the lace and put drips of glue on each side. Wait for glue to become tacky and pull the lace into position with tension. Use a damp cloth to spread the glue.
Removing a lace- fronted wig
- Using brush apply matrix remover to the lace, working from the edges inwards until the lace begins to lift from the skin.
- Once the lace is lifted from the skin check for any sticky areas and gently remove them with matrix remover.
- Remove hair pins attaching the wig to the head
- Lift the wig off from behind holding it carefully by the foundation at the sides of the nape. Pull the wig gently forward and off the head.
- Detach the hair net or stocking and hair grips from the hair
