buying, look no further... we can help you!
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.
Therefore,
your only alternative is to learn how to make them yourself
and we can easily teach you how to do that - right in
the privacy of your own home from your computer.
MHRW

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.
footnote::= Acetone (Nail Polish Remover)
may be used to remove dried EasyTAB from
human hair and foundation material.

from your Lace Front Wig... before you undercoat the

buildup:

STEP 1. . .
Spray directly on area(s) to be cleaned
or soak area(s) were tape residue or adhesive

bowl.
Allow 'OSS' to soften tape residue or adhesive
buildup.

into lace material:
Using 'kitchen spray hose' with water as

Spray hot water (positioned as close as
possible to hair side of wig) through wig
foundation. This will force embedded adhesive
to loosen and flow to underside of wig.
