Glueless human hair wigs have become the go-to wig type for anyone looking for natural glam without the hassle of a full-on install. They come in all types, from transparent to HD to Swiss lace.
The best part of glueless wigs lies in its name. Unlike lace frontal wigs which require a lengthy install process and typically don’t last longer than a week without proper maintenance, glueless wigs do not need a tedious install process. They’re quick and easy to install, with glue or without glue. While this may sound like a simple process, applying and styling a glueless wig can often be difficult, particularly for first-timers.
In this article, we have provided essential details on installing and styling your glueless human hair wig. Let’s get right into it!
Flatten Your Hair With a Cornrow Weave Style or Gel
The first step to achieving a flawless installation is by prepping your hair using cornrow weaving hairstyles. These weaves come in different patterns, so you can choose the best suitable for you.
However, you have to make sure that your hair is properly laid flat and gathered at the end to prevent hair breakage or exposure under your wig. If you’re not a fan of braids or your hair isn’t long enough for one, you can always apply a gel to your edges while gently brushing your entire hair backward to achieve a laid down look.
Wear a Wig Cap
Typically, after flattening your hair, to further protect your natural hair from damage, wearing a wig cap is recommended. However, most times people tend to skip this step when it comes to glueless wigs because they can be removed easily, unlike lace front wigs.
You can purchase a wig cap that matches with your skin tone to achieve a more natural look. Before putting on the wig cap, remember to wipe any dirt off your edges using a cotton swab dipped in alcohol.
Prep Your Glueless Wig
A lot of times people love to style their wigs before installing it. Alternatively, others prefer to style their wigs after they install them. You can prep your wig by applying the necessary hair products and brushing it.
You should also pluck your lace to give it a more natural, ready-to-wear look. To make the wig match your scalp, use a tinted hair spray or some skin-colored foundation for a more flawless effect. Now you’re ready to wear your glueless wig!
Install Your Glueless Wig
As mentioned earlier, you can install your glueless human hair wig with or without glue. Using glue keeps the wig more attached to your scalp and prevents it from falling off easily. Additionally it gives it a more natural and laid look.
On the other hand, not applying glue makes the wig easier to put on and take off. When installing your glueless wig you can spray the glue directly on the wig cap and allow it to dry with natural air or a blow dryer. After that, you should carefully wear your wig, ensuring the hairline fits properly and stays intact.
Because glueless wigs come with a thick band for a more secure attachment, ensure you appropriately secure the band behind your head.
Remove Excess Lace
After installing the wig successfully, ensure you razor off the excess lace to fit your hairline properly.
You should note that this step can be dangerous, so it’s important to carefully cut the excess lace while in front of a large mirror for proper visibility. After removing the excess, apply a band to keep the wig in place while you style it.
Style Your Glueless Wig
Once you have installed your glueless human hair wig, the next step is to style it. Whether you’ve purchased a curly or silky straight glueless human hair wig from a renowned hair vendor like Private Label, It’s important to understand that different wigs require unique styling techniques.
When it comes to curly wigs, you can opt for various packing and parting styles as well as different curling methods. With Silky straight wigs, you can decide between straightening for a sleek look or curling it to achieve a wavy look. The exciting part of glueless wigs is that there are many ways to style it and this allows you to switch up your look for any occasion
effortlessly. It’s important to note that before styling, you must have the appropriate tools available, such as a blow dryer, hair brush, hair straightener, curler, hot comb, hair products, and more.
Lay Your Edges
For many women, curled edges are becoming the rave when rocking their glueless wigs. Before or after styling your wig, you can curl and lay your edges with edge control for a more classy look. With a mini brush, a hair band, and some hair gel or spray, you can achieve all types of edge designs for your glueless wig.
