Lace front wigs are one of the most popular and versatile wig styles available today. Whether you're going for sleek, curly, wavy, or bold and voluminous, a lace front wig gives you the freedom to customize your look with ease.

At USTAR BEAUTY, we know that proper styling doesn’t just make your wig look amazing—it also helps maintain the hair, protect the lace, and extend the life of your wig.

Here’s your complete 2025 guide on how to style a lace front wig like a pro, even if you're a beginner.

What Makes Lace Front Wigs So Easy to Style?

Lace front wigs have a thin lace base at the front, allowing for:

• A natural, realistic hairline

• Easy parting (middle, side, or deep part)

• Styling away from the face

• Breathable, comfortable wear

• Heat styling (for human hair wigs)

This makes them incredibly customizable—perfect for beauty lovers who love switching up looks.

Step-by-Step: The Best Way to Style a Lace Front Wig

Whether your wig is brand new or freshly washed, follow these steps for flawless styling.

1. Prep the Wig First

Start with clean, detangled hair.

✔ Use a wide-tooth comb
✔ Hold the hair near the lace when brushing
✔ Apply a lightweight leave-in or detangler

USTAR BEAUTY Tip: Never brush a lace front wig when it's soaking wet. Let it dry 70–80% first to avoid shedding.

2. Secure Your Wig Properly

A stable base makes styling easier.

Choose from:

• Wig glue or gel (for a melted hairline)

• Wig grip band (great for glueless wear)

• Adjustable straps and combs

• Elastic band method

A secure install prevents the wig from moving while styling.

3. Define the Part

One of the best features of lace front wigs is their freestyle parting.

Popular looks:

• Middle part (clean and modern)

• Side part (soft and feminine)

• Deep part (bold and dramatic)

Use a hot comb on LOW heat (or none at all for synthetic) to flatten the part.

4. Use Heat Styling—Safely

For human hair wig styling, you can use:

• Flat irons

• Curling irons

• Hot combs

• Blow-dryers

Use heat under 350°F (177°C) to protect the lace front and prevent dryness.

For synthetic wigs:
Use only heat-safe tools or opt for heatless styling like

• Flexi rods

• Steamrollers

• Braid-outs or twist-outs

5. Create Your Desired Style

Here are easy, beginner-friendly lace front styles:

✔ Silky Straight Look

• Flat iron small sections

• Apply anti-frizz serum

• Wrap with a silk scarf to lay the top

✔ Big Curls or Loose Waves

• Curl away from the face

• Let curls cool before touching

• Use lightweight setting spray

✔ Natural Everyday Style

• Add face-framing layers

• Use a hot comb to flatten the roots

• Add a little dry shampoo for texture

✔ Half-Up, Half-Down

• Perfect for showing the hairline

• Gentle on lace if tied loosely

✔ High Ponytail or Bun

• Only recommended for full lace or 360 lace

• Use lightweight gel to blend lace edges
  
  
  

6. Blend the Hairline for a Natural Finish

To make your lace front look like your real scalp:

• Lightly pluck the hairline (not too much!)

• Tint the lace with foundation or lace tint

• Use a melt band for 5–10 minutes

• Add baby hairs (optional—natural and subtle is best)
