Wearing a lace wig can be a transformative experience, allowing us to change our hairstyle and appearance effortlessly. However, when removing a wig secured with lace wig adhesive, it is crucial to follow the proper steps to ensure a safe and seamless removal process. Removing your wig with a lace wig adhesive remover is an important step in maintaining the longevity of your wig and protecting your natural hair and scalp. Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to properly remove your wig using an adhesive remover:

Gather Your Supplies:

Before you plan to remove your lace wig, make sure you have all the necessary materials to remove the lace wig. Keep everything ready, as you cannot run in the middle to find stuff to remove the lace wig. Go to an undisturbed place. Sit in front of the mirror with all these supplies.

  • Wig adhesive remover: Choose a remover specifically designed for lace wig adhesives. Various options are available, such as sprays, liquids, or wipes. Sometimes each brand has its removers. Analyze and get the best one.
  • Cotton pads or balls: These cotton balls help apply the adhesive remover. Some lace wig adhesive removers may come with an applicator.
  • Mild shampoo and conditioner: You will need these to wash your natural hair after removing your wig. You may need a lace wig conditioner to clean and condition the wig.
  • Towel: To dry your hair after washing. Keep a good absorbing towel to dry your hair or wig strands quickly.You can also keep a blow dryer if you have one.
  • Storage Bag / A Mannequin Head: After removing the lace wig, you must keep it safely in a mesh bag or stand.

Prepare the Work Area

A clean and well-lit area is the best place to remove your wig comfortably. Clear a space on a table or vanity for the supplies you gathered. Now focus on the ends of the lace wig. Concentrate on the areas where the lace wig looks weaker. It’s the place from where you may have to start. If the lace wig is still intact and you have to remove the lace wig now, start from the temples.

Apply the Adhesive Remover

Begin by lifting the edge of your wig. Use the soft cotton pad or ball to apply the adhesive remover along the hairline where the lace wig is attached. Press and hold the cotton pad against the adhesive for a few seconds to allow the remover to penetrate and loosen the bond. Gradually work your way around the perimeter of the wig, applying the lace wig adhesive remover as needed.

Gently Remove the Wig

Once the lace wig adhesive remover has had time to work (refer to the product instructions for specific timing), gently lift the wig from the edges. Patience is the key; slowly pull the lace wig as the grip loosens. Sometimes it may take more time. Don’t pull rashly and injure your skin and natural hair. If you don’t follow the procedure properly, you may also ruin your expensive lace wig. Start from one side and slowly peel it back, taking care not to tug or pull on your natural hair. It should come off easily. If you encounter resistance, apply more adhesive remover and let it sit for a bit longer to loosen the bond further. Avoid forcing the wig off, as this can damage the lace wig, skin, or natural hair.

Cleanse and Care for Your Natural Hair

After removing the wig, cleaning and caring for your natural hair is essential. Wash your hair with a mild shampoo, massaging the scalp gently to remove any residue. Follow with a conditioner to moisturize and detangle your hair. Rinse thoroughly and towel dry your hair.

Store or Prepare the Wig for Cleaning

If you plan to wear the wig again soon, gently brush or comb it to remove any tangles. Store it in a wig stand or a safe, clean location. If you intend to clean the wig, follow the specific washing and maintenance instructions for your lace wig type and materials. We have posted a lot of information about lace wigs.
