13x4 Lace Wig have become such a go-to hairstyle for many women but achieving the scalp like look isn’t easy. It takes a lot of practice and patience to achieve realistic lace front wig installs.

1. Prep the wig
Before thinking about applying the wig, there are some steps you’ll have to take to make sure the wig is looking as natural as possible. To prep your 113x4 Lace Frontal,you will want to bleach the knots of the lace front.

Simply take a bleach mixture and carefully apply it to the lace of the wig only. Leave it on until you see the knots beginning to lighten in color and then rinse. This will make the lace appear less like 13x4 Lace Front Wig and more like a natural scalp. Next, if your wig's hairline is too dense, consider plucking the hairline so that it is thinned out.

You can look at pictures of hairlines for inspiration or use your own hairline as a guide. You’ll need a sturdy pair of tweezers and a lot of patience for this step. Some wigs, however, will come pre-plucked and pre-bleached so, you may be able to skip these steps.

2.  Wash, condition, and moisturize your hair
If you want to achieve a natural look, properly prepping your natural hair underneath the wig must be done correctly. This means you’ll want to wash, condition, and moisturize your hair as you would with any other protective style. However, the key to a successful prep is the braid down pattern.

3. Make the wig cap
After your real hair is prepped is when the wig application begins. Different stylists will apply wigs differently, however, for this process, we will go over the glue method for applying your lace front. For optimal protection, choosing to use a wig cap with this method can help save your edges from getting any of the glue on them. It is in this step that you can decide to use the bald cap method or simply just apply the wig cap.

4. Apply the glue
Now, take your wig glue of choice and apply a thin layer around the perimeter of your hairline or your wig cap. Allow it to dry until clear and tacky and then continue to apply as many layers as you’d like.

5. Place the lace front
Place the lace front of your wig over the glue very carefully and press down firmly until it is stuck. You’ll want to cut your lace with either a razor or scissors and make sure you make jagged motions. Avoid cutting in a straight line as it can make the wig look unnatural. Now, your wig is applied. You can choose to add baby hairs if you’d like and style the wig as normal.
