💁🏾♀️ Why Lace Tint Matters
If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought, “Why does my lace look grey?” — you’re not alone.
Most wig lace is made in light beige tones that don’t blend easily with melanin-rich complexions.
That’s where lace tint comes in — it’s the secret to a natural, scalp-like finish for Black women.
But here’s the catch: it’s not just about spraying and going. Your results depend on shade, prep, and technique.
🎨 Step 1: Pick the Right Shade for Your Skin Tone
The biggest mistake people make is going too light.
Your lace tint should be slightly darker than your foundation — not lighter.
Here’s a quick guide:
| Skin Tone | Recommended Shade |
|---|---|
| Medium brown | Mocha or Caramel |
| Deep brown | Espresso |
| Very deep / rich undertones | Dark Chocolate |
💡 Pro Tip: Always test the tint on a small section of lace first. Let it dry to see the final color before applying across the whole wig.
If you’re between shades, you can mix two tints for your perfect blend — just like foundation.
🧴 Step 2: Prep Your Lace Before Tinting
Prep makes the pigment stick better and last longer.
-
Wash your lace gently with sulfate-free shampoo to remove factory residue.
-
Towel dry or air dry — never apply tint on damp lace.
-
Lay the wig flat on a towel or mannequin head before spraying.
Clean lace = even tint.
💦 Step 3: Apply the Lace Tint Spray Like a Pro
Here’s how to get that salon-quality finish at home using PK’s Lace Tint Spray:
-
Shake the bottle well before use.
-
Hold it about 6 inches away from the lace.
-
Spray evenly across the inside of the lace (not the hair side).
-
Let it air dry or use a cool blow dryer for faster results.
-
Repeat if you want a deeper tone.
Once dry, your lace should look like a natural scalp — no harsh contrast, no pale edges.
✨ Pro Tip: Bleach your knots before tinting if you want maximum melt and realism.
🔥 Step 4: Blend & Melt the Lace
After tinting, install your wig as usual using Hold Me Down Glue or go glueless with Stick It Spray.
Once applied, wrap with a silk band or PK’s Love Band for 10–15 minutes to help the lace “melt” into your skin.
When you remove the band, your lace should disappear into your complexion — undetectable and seamless.
🌸 Step 5: Maintain the Tint Between Installs
To make your tint last:
-
Avoid over-washing the lace; gentle cleansing keeps the pigment intact.
-
Refresh the tint every 1–2 installs for best results.
-
Store your wig away from direct sunlight (which can fade color).
A quick touch-up spray before reinstalling keeps your lace fresh and blended every time.
💬 FAQs
Q: Can I use foundation instead of lace tint?
A: You can, but foundation can clog lace holes and transfer easily. Lace Tint Spray is lightweight, breathable, and specifically designed for wig lace.
Q: How do I fix lace that’s too dark?
A: Gently wash the lace with shampoo and water to fade the tint — or mix a lighter tint to balance it out.
