How to Install a Frontal Wig Like a Pro

Installing a frontal wig like a pro delivers a seamless, undetectable finish that mimics natural hair growth. Master these steps for flawless results every time.

Prep Essentials
Gather tools: wig cap, alcohol wipes, scissors, freeze spray (like Got2b Glued), blow dryer, comb, elastic band, and optional glue or wax stick. Braid your natural hair flat into cornrows or use a bald cap method—wrap tightly, apply foundation matching your skin tone for blending, and secure with freeze spray in thin layers. Wipe your hairline with 91% alcohol to remove oils, ensuring maximum adhesion.​​

Positioning and Cutting
Align the frontal lace just ahead of your natural hairline, secure ear tabs behind ears, and adjust straps for snug fit. Pin back bulk hair, then zigzag-cut excess lace with sharp scissors while on-head for precision—leave a sliver for melting. This prevents visible lines and allows baby hair styling.

Secure and Melt
Apply 2-3 thin glue layers (or freeze spray) along the hairline, especially ears and nape; let each dry clear under cool air from a blow dryer. Press lace down firmly with a comb, then apply heat in sections while tugging gently for scalp illusion. Seal with an elastic band for 10-15 minutes.

Finishing Touches
Pluck stray hairs along the perimeter for density variation, style baby hairs with gel and concealer, and flat-iron or curl the rest. Use serum for shine. This method yields 1-4 weeks of hold, breathable comfort, and pro-level realism.
