Style is how we express ourselves. It is an essential part of who we are and can give our confidence the boost it needs. Today’s style is gone tomorrow—our mood, occasion, and what is fashionable at the moment all change quickly. You can change the style with an HD Lace Closure wig as often as you desire. In this article, I will share some of the styling tips that pro salon stylists use. 

HD Lace Closure wigs have versatile style options that are built-in.

Most hairstyles begin with how the hair is parted. This is true with the 6×6 HD Lace Closure as well. These wigs have three parts designed into them. Each one is created with the illusion that the wig hair is growing from your own scalp. This creates that sought-after realistic look. 

You have the following parts to choose from: 

  1. Free Part: this part can be created anywhere on the lace. You can create a part there with the side, front, another side, or middle. 
  2. The middle part only has the part right down the middle of the head. 
  3. One of the most unique parting options for any wig is the three-way. You can part down the middle and both sides in one style. 

If you have chosen real human hair for your HD Lace Closure wig, you have the luxury of using heated styling tools. While most artificial hair wigs are not compatible with heated styling tools, real human hair lace closure wigs are. 

Some popular styles are easy to create with an HD Lace Closure wig if it is a 6×6 size.

Bob Hair Styles: Bob hairstyles became popular in the 1920s. Women wanted more freedom and choices, and with the industrialization and expansion of the West, they were able to find them. Today, these hairstyles have become more diverse, coming in short, medium, and long hair lengths. 

Whirl or Curl: You can use heated styling methods like crimpers or curlers of multiple sizes and hot rollers, and adding some curls is an easy way to change up a hairstyle. Be sure you choose a real human hair HD Lace Closure wig, as heated tools will damage most artificial hair wigs.

Despite the number of styles that work with Human Hair HD Lace Closure wigs, some styles are simply not feasible. 

Hairstyles that require a high pullback are not a good choice. Had Lace Closure wigs are designed to cover a 6×6 area or smaller. That means if you pull too much back and up, you will leave some of the lace and roots exposed. 

Updos with too many details can leave the weft or roots visible. Some minor updos are possible, but only if you are careful not to lift too much hair. 

Notes on styling your HD Lace Human Hair Closure Wig: 

When you sit down to plan the hairstyle you want to sport while wearing your HD Lace Closure wig, it should be fun and exciting. It should not be stressful or intimidating. The way to ensure a stress-free styling session with your HD Lace Closure wig is to plan it. 

Part of that is making sure you have the right materials on hand to style your wig. Real human hair makes it simpler, but you still need some items to make the styling smooth and efficient. 

This a list of the recommended items to have ready to style your HD Lac Closure human hair wig:

  1. Your HD Lace Closure wig. 
  2. Either a wig stand or a mannequin head. I strongly suggest you go for the mannequin head, as it will allow you to use bobby pins to hold the hair in place while styling, which is not possible with a wig stand. 
  3. Hair clips, barrettes, or bobby pins. These will work best with a mannequin head. 4. Human Hair Closure wigs only have any heated styling tools you want to use. Always preheat them to medium, and never use them in a higher setting. 
  4. After style products. Mouse, hairspray, and any other style-holding products you want to use. Try and select products that are gentle to your HD Lace Closure wigs hair. 6. Either a wig brush or a styling comb. Both are designed not to pull on the hair as you work out any tangles. 
  5. Detangling spray if desired. 
  6. Heat protectant spray designed for wigs with human hair. Despite the human hair being safe for medium heated styling tools, wig spray to protect it from heat can help the HD Lace Closure wig last longer. 

Now that you have all of that stuff ready, it’s time to start the styling!

Step 1: Get your HD Lace closure wig ready! 

Place your wig on the mannequin head or wig stand. This way, you can relax and see how it looks as you style from every angle. You do not want tangles interfering with your styling efforts, so comb out any knots or tangles before you begin. Always work backward from bottom to top. Slow and steady, it is not a race. This should be a process that can damage the wig if you get too rough. 

Step 2: Before we begin, pick the way you want the HD Lace Closure wig parted. When it arrives, your HD Lace Closure will be prestyled with a part already created. You can change that part if you want to. Simply comb the hair into the new part, being slow and gentle. The hair will want to revert to the original part for a little bit. This is natural and can be remedied with a little patience. 

Step 3: Which style suits your mood today? 

How to create a sleek and straight style on your HD Lace Closure human hair wig. 

You can use a hair straightener with heat to make this easier. Remember never to set it higher than medium. Using a heat protectant spray for safety is also advisable, As you would on your own hair. Top to bottom and go slow. Do not leave the straightener on the hair longer than a few seconds at a time. 

Feeling in the mood for some whirl and curl? 

The curling irons without the combs are the best choice. Keep the heat on low or medium. For a loose curl, three to five seconds is good. Want a tighter curl? Five to seven seconds is all it takes. You can use a wide-toothed styling comb to tease out the curl if it is tighter than you want. 

Step 4: Use the holding product of your choice. 

While your style will have some staying power on its own, wind, rain, or the air conditioner can ruin the best-styled hair. Use a wig-friendly sulfate-free hair spray or mouse to hold the style in place. It only takes a little to keep the style safe and in place. Too much can create a residue and buildup on real human hair that is hard to clean off. 

Step 5: Wrapping up: 

You can give your hairstyle a wet look by adding a touch of hair oil. Just gently apply it to each hair and wipe off the excess. This can add a new dimension to any hairstyle. Remember that patience is the most essential tool you have when styling your 6×6 HD Lace Closure wig. Go slow and work with your wig until you have the style the way you want. 

Want to view some already styled and ready HD Lace Closure human hair wigs? 

While styling at home is great, sometimes it can be fun to visit a showroom in person and view the many pre-styled wigs on display. This can inspire new ideas for possible styles. I like to visit the Private Label Atlanta hair stores. Their local locations are convenient, and the staff are professionals.
