✨ Introduction: Why Your Wig Lifts Too Soon

If your lace keeps lifting before the week is over, you’re not alone. Sweat, oil, humidity, or even product buildup can ruin a perfect install in no time.
But here’s the truth — your glue isn’t always the problem. It’s often your prep routine.

Think of your skin like a canvas. The smoother and cleaner the surface, the longer your adhesive will hold. Today, I’ll show you exactly how to prep, apply, and maintain your wig install for a flawless, long-lasting hold — whether you’re a beginner or a pro stylist.

🧴 Step 1: Start With a Clean Base

Before applying anything, make sure your skin is clean and oil-free.

• Use 70% alcohol on a cotton pad to remove makeup, dirt, and oils from your forehead and hairline.

• Avoid lotions or moisturizers in that area — they’ll break your glue’s bond faster.

This step is key for those with oily skin or active lifestyles, because sweat + sebum weaken adhesives faster than anything else.

💦 Step 2: Protect and Prime With Skin Protect

This is the secret weapon most wig lovers skip.

Skin Protect by PK’s Beauty Lounge creates a bacteria-free barrier on your skin, tightens pores, and drastically improves how well your glue adheres.
It acts like a primer — giving your adhesive a clean, dry surface to stick to.

Spray it evenly along your hairline, let it dry, and repeat once more if you have oily skin or plan to wear your wig long-term.

💡 Pro Tip: Don’t rush this step! Allow each coat of Skin Protect to dry fully before applying your glue. You’ll instantly notice a stronger, longer hold.

💧 Step 3: Apply Lace Glue in Thin Layers

When applying lace glue, less is more.

Use Hold Me Down Lace Glue in thin, even layers — about 2 to 4 coats depending on your lifestyle.

• Let each layer turn clear and tacky before adding the next.

• Once your final coat is clear, gently place the lace down and press it into the glue with a fine-tooth comb or your fingers.

The biggest mistake people make? Using thick layers or applying too soon. That traps moisture, creating white residue and lifting edges.

🎯 For gym-goers, dancers, or those who live in hot climates, use Hold Me Down Supreme — our strongest waterproof formula that stays flawless even when you sweat.

🌬️ Step 4: Cure and Set Your Lace

Once your wig is applied, wrap your edges with a Love Band or silk scarf for 15–20 minutes.
This helps the lace melt seamlessly into your skin, creating that “is it growing from your scalp?” look.

Avoid water, heavy oils, or excessive sweating for at least 24 hours to let the bond cure properly.

🌸 Step 5: Maintain and Refresh Daily

Maintenance is everything when it comes to longevity.

• Avoid touching your hairline unnecessarily. Oils from your fingers weaken the bond.

• Sleep with a silk or satin scarf every night.

• Use Reviver Sheen Mist to add hydration and prevent scalp irritation under your wig.

• If you notice small lifts, apply a dot of Hold Me Down Glue Pen or Stick It Spray for quick touch-ups.

Following these steps can extend your install from a few days to 2–3 weeks of secure, flawless hold.

💡 Bonus: What to Avoid

• Don’t mix different glue brands.

• Don’t blow-dry the glue too hot — use a cool or warm setting.

• Don’t apply glue directly after washing your face with oily cleansers.

💫 Conclusion: Longevity Starts With Prep

Your wig isn’t just a hairstyle — it’s confidence. With the right prep and care routine, your install can last three times longer without irritation, lifting, or white residue.
Trust the process — clean, protect, apply, cure, and care.
