Why should we pluck the lace frontal wig?

It seems many wig users don’t understand why we need to pluck the hairline of the wig. In order for a wig to look more real, we should make it look like your own hair. The hairpin will create perfect hairs and a perfect hairline. You should only pluck the lace frontal wig all by yourself. Of course, it will take time and meticulousness, but if it’s not you, who else understands your body better? Plucking the lace frontal wig is taking one more step to turn the wig into your real hair. Vendors certainly won’t be able to do this for you, because they can’t directly make the hair for you.

How to pluck the wig step by step

• Step 1: Preparation. Things to prepare: a comb, a fabric covered mannequin head or a foam mannequin head, a tweezer, pin, hair mousse.

 

• Step 2: First, you should wash your wig to make it clean and soft, easy to style and remove hair. Usually, you should brush your wig after washing it. Note that only use a wide-tooth comb specifically designed for wigs. Don’t dry the wig and comb it at the same time to avoid it getting tangled.
• Step 3: After washing the wig, you need to take a few photos of your natural hairline. The best way is to straighten your hair and tie it into a ponytail. Ensure the photo is clear so you can use it as a model to copy the hairline on your head most accurately.
• Step 4: Place the lace wig on the mannequin head and use the pins to tighten the lace on the mannequin, you want the hair to be beautiful and snug so that it won’t move.

• Step 5: Take a closer look at the wig’s hair roots, you will see that it is quite dense and that is what you should avoid. Start plucking some strands of hair from this side and smoothing your way.

Make sure to use specialized tweezers and be careful not to pluck too much hair, it’s best to pull a little bit at first to see how it looks and if you think the hairline is still too dense, go back and repeat this step. Place the tweezers close to the hairline and pluck it out quickly so that the hair does not break. Remember to observe the position of the hairs you want to pluck carefully, so use your index fingers and middle finger to stretch the lace surrounding the hairline, then thread the tweezers into the hairline, tugging firmly to the strand so atat the hair is plucked without being broken. With the wig side closest to the forehead, try to make the roots thinner than the back parts of  the wig. But try not to make it too thin, make sure it is natural, so that it looks like your real hair. Then look at the overall hair, the thickness of your hair will be uneven, especially your hair roots should be much thinner.

 

• Step 4: Extracting lace: Plucking is the process of using tweezers to pluck the excess hair around the forehead to reduce swelling. Divide the hair on your lace front wig into two sections and take the hair tweezers and start pulling out the hair towards the hairline to have a really natural look..
• Step 5: Create your own section: All lace wigs are not created equally, some have premade sections in the middle, aside, have multiple sections or have no part at all (also known as “free part”). With a free partial lace front wig, you will be given a choice where you want your piece to be placed and create it.You can do this either before the full creation or after the wig is complete. Just play with the parting part, create an interesting hairstyle or keep it a more sophisticated and trendy look.
• Step 6: Create natural contours: Adjust your lace front wig accordingly. Don’t forget the baby hairs! For this step, separate a small portion of hair from the roots that you want to use as your baby’s hair, and use a razor to cut it.

Other tips

First, you need to pluck hair at the forehead side of the lace wig. Stick the lace front over the top of the wig and fix it with several pins.

When it comes to plucking, the first real place is the hairline by starting to pluck one or two swipes, one or two swipes, then brush off the excess and move on to the next one. This is the main area where we are going to spit. So you can go a few times, a few tugs, you definitely want to make sure you are always moving, not stopping in one place. When the part that you have plucked looks good, you can continue to do another part, just remember less is more when you pluck at the forehead side as you cannot remove the hair from the roots. Just keep your hand and the tweezers move. We strongly recommend that you can divide it into 3 or 4 parts while the extraction, keep moving little by little. Gather the excess hair to see the result if you need to pull more, if you are unsure, a butterfly clip will be helpful. Put your hair front and back, you’ll see where you need to pluck more and somewhere to be alone. Just be cautious, this area is more likely to be pulled out, so use your hands lightly to prevent it. Then, remove the top part, do not pluck much in the upper part, just pull a little, it will never be the same. Don’t do too much or less until the roots look natural and realistic. So you’re done with the front side, the same technique is for the other side, so the last thing you need to do is get some hairspray on the roots, then brush your hair back. And here are some tips:

• Don’t pluck too much to avoid it looking bold in this area.
• Move your hands and tweezers continuously while plucking.
• Tweeze the roots of the hair until the wig looks quite like your own hair.
• Once done, you can grab the mousse to style the hair you love for the wig. Mousse will help keep the hairline easier, fold it smoother and look smoother, and especially when using the mousse for the wig, you will not worry about your hair getting oily or sweaty from the scalp.

Pre-plucked wig

Some hair wig vendors also provide pre-plucked wigs. The pre-plucked wig has natural roots and the baby’s hair has been plucked. If the baby hair of the wig hasn’t been plucked, then the exact color of the wig can replace and imitate your hair perfectly – from the hair itself, the roots, the texture, the color and the hairstyle. When plucking the wig, the density on the top is much lower, this is entirely true with real hair, if you look at the hair strands, you will see unequal length hairs and some short hairs around the hairline. New hairs grow continuously and they cannot be the same length.
