subject: Lace Front Wig Glue - Is It Better Than Tape? [print this page] The shopping is over and you have finally found the perfect lace wig and you are ready to apply it. But what should you use lace front wig glue or tape?
This choice is a matter of personal preference. Both lace front wig glue and tape will give you professional results.
However lace front wig glue tends to last longer than the tape and is the more popular choice amongst lace wig wearers. Some glue products state that you can get a 6 week hold but reality is 2 to 3 weeks is the average hold time.
If you lead an active lifestyle and workout on a regular basis, glue would be the better choice. It holds up better with perspiration and water activities such as swimming.
Lace front wig glue is available in two types; water based and solvent based.
Solvent based glue contains chemicals and can cause breakouts on sensitive skin. However, it provides a much longer hold than its water based counterpart.
If you have sensitive skin water based is the better choice as it does not contain these harsh chemicals and will still give you a nice hold.
No matter which you use, it is recommended that you test it on an area of your skin and let it sit for at least an hour to see if it causes any type of allergic reaction before using it to apply your lace front wig.
Another popular option for apply your wig is to use a combination of tape and lace front wig glue. The combination will give you a longer lasting, stronger hold.
Lace front wig glue is a great way to get long lasting professional results. Whether you decide to use glue or tape, be sure to use caution when applying to avoid causing damage to your natural hair.
