Positioning of wig
First, you have to select the wig cap to make a coating or covering between your scalp and the wig. Wig caps are also known as stocking caps and can be purchased online. A stocking cap can hold your natural human hair and helps create the wig surface. Then making the layer adjust your wig according to your hairline where you feel the most comfortable. Check the position from all angles to see if it looks perfect. Most HD lace wigs have pre-installed straps to tighten or lose the wig.
After that, use the freeze spray along the hairline, which will help hold the wig. Having the wig in the right place, slightly lift the lace and use freeze spray to coat the hairline. Try spraying it as close as possible to avoid the spread all over your head. Be prepared to feel the cooling effect of freeze spray on your head. Before going to the step of cutting and melting, don’t forget to blow dry over your hairline. High heat settings can burn your scalp, so try to use low or medium heat. Now put the wrap strip on your hairline for 15 minutes. Wrap strips are usually stretchy and thin and made up of a creep-like strip of paper. This strip is used to hold your wig in position and helps the lace to melt into your hairline. Now you can do your other tasks and don’t worry about it if you forget to remove the strip on time. It will not cause any harm if it stays longer.

After that, change the settings of the hair dryer and set the medium or low heat condition. Now run it over your hairline. You can use a damp towel to clean up excess gel for finishing.
