THE TECHNIQUE: Invisible Lace Melt in 20 Seconds

STEP 1: Skin Preparation (2 minutes)

Why this is crucial: 80% of the outfit depends on this step!

• Clean your forehead with an astringent (99% isopropyl alcohol).
• Remove ALL traces of makeup, cream, sebum, sweat
• Allow to dry completely (30 seconds)
• Your skin should be matte and clean

Warning: If your skin is oily, the glue will NOT stick. This step is NON-NEGOTIABLE.

STEP 2: Preparing the Lace (1 minute)

• Trim the excess lace (leave 0.5-1 cm in front of the hairline)
• Customize the lace if necessary
• Position the wig on your head (without gluing it yet)
• Perfectly adjust the hairline (left/right symmetry)

Tip: Use your eyebrows as guides for symmetry.

STEP 3: Applying the Glue (3 minutes)

Thin Multi-Layer Technique:

1. Layer 1: Apply a thin layer to your forehead and let it dry for 30-45 seconds.
2. Layer 2: Apply a second thin coat and let it dry for 30-45 seconds.
3. Layer 3: Apply a thin third coat and let it dry for 30-45 seconds.
4. Layer 4: Optional for extreme durability

Stickiness Test: Lightly touch with your finger. If it sticks strongly but leaves no white residue = PERFECT!

Mistake to avoid: One thick coat = shine + plastic look + poor durability

STEP 4: Lace application (2 minutes)

• Position the wig on your head
• Press firmly on the lace with your fingers
• Use an elastic band to maintain pressure
• Let it dry for 5-10 minutes

STEP 5: Melt Technique (20 seconds)

The secret technique:

1. Take a tissue
2. Moisten it slightly with water
3. Place it on the lace
4. Apply the heat from the hairdryer (medium temperature) for 20 seconds
5. Remove the handkerchief

Result: The lace becomes transparent and blends perfectly with your skin!

STEP 6: Finishing (3 minutes)

• Apply mattifying powder or powder foundation to the lace
• Create baby hairs with a tail comb and mousse.
• Secure with a setting spray.
• Style your hair as you wish.
