Step-by-Step Guide to Installing a Closure Wig
Closures are not very hard to install at all. By following a few simple steps, you can achieve a closure that looks realistic. Here are the standard steps for installing a lace closure.
Step 1: Braid Your Hair Down
To start, braid your natural hair as flat as you can. This step is crucial because the flatter your hair lies, the more naturally your closure wig will sit on top. Think of it as creating a smooth, even surface for the wig to rest on. If the braids are too bulky, they can create unwanted bumps under the wig, making it look less realistic. So, take your time with this step to ensure your hair is as flat as possible.
Step 2: Secure the Closure
The next step is all about making sure your lace closure is properly secured. If you’re using a wig with a closure, you can rely on the adjustable straps inside to tighten it, or you can use a small amount of glue gel along the edges for extra hold. For closure wigs, you’ll need to sew it down tightly to prevent any slipping or shifting. Take your time to make each stitch secure; this will keep the closure in place throughout the day. Some people also like to use wig adhesive tape, especially around the edges, for added stability.
Step 3: Sew the Closure First
When installing a closure wig as part of a sew-in or while creating a custom wig, always start by sewing down the closure before adding any other tracks. Doing so ensures that you have a clear area to work with, and it helps the closure lay flat against your scalp. Starting with other tracks can lead to miscalculations on space, which might leave you struggling to fit the closure properly in the end. By placing the closure first, you’ll achieve a smoother and more polished final look.
Step 4: Add the Remaining Tracks
With the closure securely in place, it’s time to complete your look by adding the remaining tracks. You can do this step either before or after styling the closure, depending on what works best for you. Adding the tracks around the closure helps create a fuller look and frames the face. Take care to add the tracks evenly for a balanced appearance, which will enhance the natural look of your finished style.
Step 5: Customize the Closure
Now, it’s time to make the closure look as natural as possible. Begin by trimming the lace along the front edge, following the shape of your natural hairline. This gives it a cleaner finish and blends it better with your skin. If you want an even softer look, gently pluck a few hairs from the hairline or part of the lace closure. Finally, to blend the lace with your skin tone, dab a little foundation or concealer along the lace. This small detail makes a big difference in achieving a seamless, natural look.
If you’re working with a lace closure, you may want to bleach the knots on the lace before you begin these steps. This technique makes the hair appear as if it’s growing from your scalp, adding another level of realism to the look.
Tips for a Flawless Finish
Now that your closure wig is installed, a few extra tips can elevate the final look
Set with Powder: Let it set with a translucent powder to dull the shine and make it more matte-like in finish.
Edge Control for a Natural Look: Use an edge control gel to lay down any flyaways or edges for a more polished finish. Styling the edges can add to the overall natural effect of your closure wig.
Avoid Over-Plucking: While thinning out the hairline is recommended, avoid over-plucking as it can make the wig look unnatural. Small adjustments go a long way in enhancing the look without compromising the wig’s durability.
Moisturize and Maintain: Closure wigs can dry out if not properly cared for. Light leave-in conditioner or wig spray should be sprayed to hydrate the hair, making it silky, smooth, and frizz-free.
