Wig help....lace front?....
Trying to get a pulled back high ponytail look
Seems that a lace front wig is in order
How do you stick down the lace part that's left?
I watched a few YouTube videos where they used got2b hair glue
Not sure I fancy putting glue on Mia's forehead
Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated
This is the hairstyle I'm after
Is it possible on a doll?

Re: Wig help....lace front?....
So that is not much help But one of issues is the wig not sicking really. Tho glue is also no option for me. Thinking either attaching them straps to something else (like chain/necklace/something) so it does not get pulled up...Or maybe make the wig in that kinda tail before putting it on...will try again myself soon too I think, shit looks hot for sure. Good luck!

Another option is, there are wigs on Amazon with clip on ponytails. I've also been using them for a while. They're only like $20-25, so I'll get one and give it a haircut so it's short enough that it doesn't get tangled easily when she's lying in bed. Then, when I want her to have long hair, I clip in a ponytail. Simple.

I looked at them first but you can't get the pulled back look,they need to have a fringeBWheeler1 wrote:Don't know about the front, that's a tough one. But I can tell you what I do for the back at the neck. I've been doing this for a couple of years now. I use a zip tie to hold it down. I put it through the loops where the wig straps hook to and go around the neck pipe. Then I pull it until it's hidden between the head and neck. You never see it. I did it originally to keep the wig from falling off, but it serves well for pulling up high ponytails also. When you swap wigs, all you lose is a zip tie.

Do you have any pics?

I have used elastic thread to make the wig sit narrower in the back. Unfortunately, it does not work so well in the front because the thread shine throw.

Re: Wig help....lace front?....
It can. I use it for Anna's pubic hair. I'm not sure how well it would work for a wig though for two reasons. The hair is so thin in the front that the BC might be more apparent than it is in pubic hair patches. And also the lace, I have heard, is fairly fragile so removing the BC from the lace may be difficult or impossible.Tailor wrote:Wondering if Bodycolor2 can be used as glue? If it also pulls away from the wigs lace it would be nice.
I just ordered our first lace front wig. And I do have BC on hand, so I may re-evaluate all of that once the wig arrives.
