Beginner's Guide to Installing Frontal Wigs

If you're new to wigs, installing a frontal wig might seem intimidating—but it doesn't have to be. With the right technique and tools, you can achieve a natural, flawless look even if it's your first time. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process using beginner-friendly, high-quality wigs from Loxx Hair.

What Is a Frontal Wig?

A frontal wig includes a lace piece that runs from ear to ear, creating a realistic hairline. It gives you styling flexibility—perfect for parting your hair in the middle or on the sides—and is ideal for protective styling.

Step-by-Step: How to Install Your Frontal Wig

Step 1: Prep Your Natural Hair

• Braid or slick back your hair to create a flat surface.
  
• Use a wig cap to protect your natural hair and help the wig lay flat.
  
• Tip: Choose a wig cap that matches your skin tone or apply foundation to blend.
  
  

Step 2: Prep the Wig

• If you’re using a Loxx Hair HD lace frontal wig, you’ll notice how soft and transparent the lace is—it’s made for melting seamlessly into your skin.
  
• Pluck the hairline slightly if needed (most Loxx wigs come pre-plucked).
  
• Cut the lace carefully around the hairline using eyebrow scissors or a small blade.
  

Step 3: Apply Adhesive (Optional)

• For a glueless install: Use an elastic band or wig grip to secure the wig.
  
• For longer wear: Apply a thin layer of lace glue or gel along your forehead, wait until tacky, then press the lace into place.
  
• Tip: Blow-dry on cool for faster setting.
  

Step 4: Melt the Lace

• Use the elastic band included with your Loxx Hair wig to “melt” the lace into your skin for 5–10 minutes.
  
• Press down gently with a comb or finger to make sure the lace adheres flatly.
