We don't sell wigs, because most factory-made wigs are very poor quality and they don't last but a few months.

Another reason why we don't sell them, is because quality hand-made wigs are so expensive most women cannot afford them.

SECURING LACE FRONT WIG USING TOUPEE TAPE

Here's how professionals secure a Lace Front Wig for their customers:

HOW TO UNDERCOAT AND PROTECT YOUR LACE FRONT WIG FROM BEING DESTROYED

To insure the lace front hairline section of your Lace Front Wig does not become destroyed from hair being pulled out from Toupee Tape removal, or by cleaning away embedded adhesive:

We recommend undercoating the lace front hairline section of your Lace Front Wig with our
EasyTAB COMPOUND.

There are two kinds of netting used for making Lace Front Wigs, French Lace Netting and Monofilament Lace Netting.

French Lace Netting is the most commonly used material manufacturer's use for creating Lace Front Wigs. French Lace Netting in appearance and looks very similar to regular 'window screen'.

Monofilament Lace Netting in appearance and looks very similar to regular 'women's panty hose,' and when undercoated with our EasyTAB Compound, looks like skin with hair growing from it.

Monofilament Lace Netting is not as popular as French Lace Netting when it comes to wig making, however, if you want a more natural looking front hairline, you should consider purchasing a Monofilament Lace Front Wig or creating your own using our Lace Front Wig Cap.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

If your Lace Front Wig is OLD:

Clean away and tape or adhesive residue before undercoating wig.

If your Lace Front Wig is NEW:

Use the following process to undercoat the front hairline area of your wig... before securing it for wearing.

Applying EasyTAB Compound to French Lace Netting

  • French Lace Netting must be clean.

STEP 1. . . Apply light 1st coat using a damp loaded brush.

  • NOT DRIPPING WET!
  • Do not allow EasyTAB to flow through holes into hair!

Stroke brush across underside area(s) allowing brush to lightly touch hairs. The object is to apply only a tiny amount of compound to each hair so the hair is locked in place and tape will stick better.

  • DO NOT TRY FILLING IN THE HOLES IN THE FRENCH LACE MATERIAL!
  • Let dry for 1 hour... before 2nd coat is applied.

STEP 2. . . 2nd coat is not necessary.

If ever necessary, hair can be ventilated to your Lace Front Wig where EasyTAB COMPOUND has been applied.
