Step 1: Prepare Your Hair and Scalp

• Begin with clean, dry hair. Wash and condition your hair as needed.
• If you have long hair, consider braiding it or pulling it back into a low bun to keep it flat against your scalp.
• Use a wig cap or a headband to secure any flyaways.

Step 2: Apply the Bald Cap

• Select a bald cap that closely matches your skin tone.
• Place the bald cap over your head, ensuring it covers your hair completely.
• Adjust the cap so that it fits snugly around your hairline. Trim any excess material if necessary.

Step 3: Secure the Bald Cap

• Use wig adhesive or hairspray around the edges of the bald cap to secure it to your skin.
• Press the cap down firmly to ensure it sticks.
• Wait for a few minutes until the adhesive is dry to the touch.

Step 4: Cut the Excess Bald Cap

• Using small scissors, carefully cut away the excess bald cap material around your hairline.
• Aim for a natural look by following the shape of your hairline.
• Be cautious not to cut too close to your skin.

Step 5: Apply Makeup (Optional)

• For a more seamless look, apply foundation or concealer that matches your skin tone over the bald cap.
• Blend it well to minimize the visibility of the cap's edges.

Step 6: Prepare the Wig

• Before placing the wig, ensure it is styled as desired.
• Adjust the straps or combs in the wig to fit your head securely.

Step 7: Install the Wig

• Place the wig on your head, aligning it with your natural hairline.
• Use the wig adhesive along the front edge of the wig to secure it.
• Press down gently and hold for a few seconds to ensure it sticks.

Step 8: Style the Wig

• Use a curling iron or hot comb to style the wig as desired.
• Apply shine spray for a polished look.

Step 9: Removing the Lace Wig

• To remove, gently lift the edges of the wig.
• Apply a wig adhesive remover or a little water to the adhesive areas to help loosen it.
