Step By Step Guide: How To Cut A Lace Front Wig


 What You'll Need

  • Large clips or hairpins

  • Rat-tail comb

  • Sharp scissors, eyebrow razor, or wig shears

  • Wig head (optional but recommended)

  • Foaming mousse or water spray

  • Makeup pencil or white eyeliner pencil

1. Prepare the Wig

On Your Head:

  • Place the wig on your head, ensuring the lace extends slightly beyond your natural hairline.

  • Secure the wig using its adjustable straps and clips.

  • Pull the wig's hair back from your face and clip it to keep it out of the way.

On a Wig Head:

  • Place the wig on a mannequin head and secure it with T-pins to prevent movement.

2. Remove the Ear Tabs

  • Use the pointed end of a comb to part the wig's lace just above your ear.

  • Pin the hair back, leaving a small tab of lace over the ear.

  • Cut around the contour of your ear using scissors, then remove the tab to help the wig lay flat during cutting and installation. 

3. Mark the Hairline

  • Using a makeup pencil, draw your natural hairline from ear to ear on the lace, leaving about a quarter-inch gap between your hairline and the traced line.

  • If using a mannequin head, wear the wig and draw the line on top of the lace in front of your natural hairline. This will serve as a guide when cutting. 

4. Cut the Lace

  • Make small, zigzag cuts along the marked line to create small sections, making it easier to cut and preventing snags or jagged edges.

  • Pull the lace taut and gently cut each section along the hairline to avoid accidentally cutting into the hair.

  • Avoid cutting perfectly straight lines, as they can appear less natural.

  • If you're not confident cutting the lace in one piece, cut it in small sections to make the process easier. 

5. Final Touches

  • After cutting, check the fit of the wig on your head.

  • If necessary, trim any excess lace or adjust the hairline for a more natural look.

  • Secure the wig using your preferred method, such as adhesive or clips.
