5 Expert Tips for Short Hair Lace Front Wigs
Choose the right cap construction: A short hair lace front wig should have a cap that is specifically designed for short hair, with a small ear-to-ear frontal space and a snug fit.
Select a natural-looking texture: For a realistic look, opt for a wig with a texture that matches your own hair. Avoid overly shiny or synthetic-looking textures.
Match your hairline: Ensure the hairline of the wig blends seamlessly with your natural hairline. This involves choosing a wig with a lace front that can be customized to match your own hairline shape.
Consider the length: Short hair lace front wigs come in various lengths, so choose one that complements your face shape and personal style. A shorter length can be chic and modern, while a longer length can add volume and movement.
Customize it to your liking: Dont be afraid to style your wig to suit your preferences. You can cut, color, or add highlights to personalize the wig and make it uniquely your own.

Instructions:
Detangle your wig: Use a wide-tooth comb or detangling brush to gently remove any knots or tangles from the wig.
Wash your wig: Apply moisturizing shampoo to the wig and gently massage it into the fibers. Rinse thoroughly and apply conditioner, working it through the hair. Rinse again and pat dry.
Apply heat protectant: If you plan on using styling tools, apply a heat protectant spray to the wig before styling.
Style your wig: You can style your wig using heat styling tools, such as a flat iron or curling wand. Be sure to use a low heat setting to avoid damaging the fibers.
Store your wig properly: When not in use, store your wig on a wig stand or in a satin-lined bag to maintain its shape and prevent tangling.
