The Beginner’s Guide to Glueless Wig Installs

The Beginner’s Guide to Glueless Wig Installs

💁🏾♀️ Why Go Glueless?

If you love switching up your wigs, glueless installs are a game-changer. They give you:

  • Flexibility — switch styles daily without residue.

  • Comfort — no tension, itching, or build-up.

  • Edge protection — no pulling or glue damage.

Perfect for first-timers, sensitive scalps, or anyone who values quick glam over long hold.


🧴 Step 1: Prep Your Base Like a Pro

Even glueless installs start with clean prep.

  • Use 70 % alcohol to wipe away oils and makeup.

  • If your scalp sweats easily, lightly mist Skin Protect to tighten pores and prevent slippage.

  • Brush back baby hairs and secure a wig cap snugly.

Clean prep equals longer wear — even without glue.


💨 Step 2: Choose Your Hold Level

PK’s Beauty Lounge gives you two powerhouse options:

  1. Stick It Gel – Perfect for everyday styling, baby hairs, and short-term wear (up to 24 h).

  2. Stick It Spray – Ideal for temporary but stronger hold; great for events or photoshoots.

Both are sensitive-skin-friendly, residue-free, and easy to rinse off with water or a damp cloth.

💡 Pro Tip: Mix them — apply gel first for control, seal with spray for longevity.


👩🏾🦱 Step 3: Install & Style

  1. Apply Stick It Gel along the hairline and blow-dry on a cool setting until tacky.

  2. Place the lace on top and press gently with your comb or edge brush.

  3. For stronger hold, mist Stick It Spray evenly across the hairline.

  4. Wrap with a silk scarf for 10–15 minutes to melt seamlessly.

Your wig should now sit flat and natural, with no glue residue or stiffness.


🧼 Step 4: Remove Gently

The best part? No painful removal.
Simply lift your lace and wipe away any gel or spray with warm water or Goo Be Gone Shampoo.
Follow with Reviver Sheen Mist to re-hydrate your scalp.


🛡️ Step 5: Maintain Your Edges & Wig

Even glueless installs need love.

  • Sleep with a silk scarf or bonnet.

  • Avoid heavy oils on the hairline.

  • Refresh with Stick It Spray if your lace loosens during the week.

Glueless doesn’t mean less secure — it means smart, safe, and stylish.

💬 Common Mistakes to Avoid
