CopyFrom: Author: DateTime:2015-04-18 Hits:0

Nothing can save women time, energy and even money like a low maintenance long lasting lace closure hairpiece. This is one of the many reasons why lace closures are starting to become all the rage these ten years.Not only does a lace closure looks like your own hair, but if applied correctly, it can be maintained as a wash and go style for a long period of time. You can also get any style, color,texture or length you want and you can also be custom made to your liking.
Even though such units cost a bit initially, the money you save in constant salon trims will make the hairpiece pay for itself.

1.Apply lace closure solvent. There are many solvents available on the market that are specially made for lace closures. These solvents can and will soften adhesives for easier removal. If you can't afford a solvent, isopropyl alcohol works just fine.
To apply solvent or alcohol to the lace closure, use a q-tip, make-up applicator or small brush and rub along the front and back hairline. gently tug, rubbing more solvent at resistant areas. Keep doing this until you feel the grip of the hairpiece lessening enough to pull free of the skin.
The lace closure won't simply slide off with a pull after a solvent is used. Rather, you may have to carefully tug at small sections of the hairpiece to get it to come up. Take care when tugging, as you don't want to tear the delicate lace. If you do damage it, don't worry, some wig sellers or hair shops offer hairpieces repair services as well.

2.Gently detach the lace closure or lace frontal hairpiece. As tempting as it will be to just pull the hairpiece off once the glue is loosened, that could be a mistake. You may have to have missed a couple of areas where the bond is still reasonably secure and end up tearing the hairpiece.
If you grow impatient with the process, just remind yourself that you have spent a considerable mount of money on your hairpiece. Replacing and repairing it could be expensive.
With painstaking care, use your your fingers to grab one area and pull on it, again dotting the resistant spots with solvent until you feel the glue loosen its hold. Once you know for sure that the unit (and any plastered hair) is free, you may cautiously remove the hairpeices from your head by youself.

3.Clean your skin. Olive oil is great for removing the glue that is left on the skin and hair (if you managed to get glue on your natural hair) and you can work it into the glue with your fingertips. Any kind or brand will do, as we merely wish to use it to make the glue less sticky.
Once you have managed to get a large portion of the adhesive off, use soap and water to remove any excess.
This may be an excellent time to hop in the shower and wash your own hair prior to re-applying the lace wig. Clean skin and oil free hair make the lace front wig setting last longer and is just downright healthy for your scalp and skin.

4.Wash and clean the lace closure. This could be your time to wash and condition the piece. Although you can wash it while it is on your head, it is better to agitate the lace closure hairpiece in the sink with a mild shampoo followed by a light, oil free conditioner.
Use a wide wig brush to untangle hair and try not to pull on the unit to avoid shedding.
Allow it to air dry, but if you need to be able to wear it in a hurry, you can sit the lace closure on a wig stand and set it under a hooded dryer until it is ready to be placed back on your head.
After it dries,If you still notice a bit of residue on the hairpiece, you can take a hand held mirror and slide the glued area of the hairpiece on it--like magic, the glue will rub off onto the mirror. When done, you can clean the mirror and prepare to replace the hairpice onto your head again if needed.
