Integrative lace fronts

A lace frontal is a great way to make any hair extension look more natural. As a unit that is designed to create a natural part and hairline, it is a more affordable option than most lace front wigs or full lace wigs. Although many women venture into the salon for lace front installation, it can be done at home.

Find the correct unit

Finding the right front fit is the first thing to do. Most lace frontals cover up to the first 6 inches of the head ending at the crown. However, some cover less with the smallest lace coverage area of ​​around 3 inches. This is important to know as your braiding pattern will depend on this in addition to the amount of hair for a fabric.

Choosing a lace frontal is, in many ways, like choosing a lace wig. The same lengths and textures are offered with one exception. Since lace frontals are not that popular, color options are quite limited. Buying the frontal lace first is the best so you can combine it with any other hair that you are going to integrate. These partial units are often in the $ 100- $ 200 range.

Choose your method

There are several methods you can use to integrate your lace front. Each one has its benefits depending on the needs of your hair. Each is listed as follows.

Method one: integration with natural hair

This is a good option if you have good 613 Blonde Hair and don't care about the daily style. If you have a damaged or thinned hairline but the rest of your hair beyond the crown is full, this is a good option. To integrate with your own hair, make sure the lace front blends well with the color and texture of your hair.

Since the back half of the unit also has a socket, you will need to purchase and sew clips or a safety bobby pin on the back. It is suggested to secure the back with the sewn clips, as it will provide a better hold. Pluggable clips can be purchased at your local beauty supply store or online. Sew them with a weave string in a line of three at the back base. 

All you have to do now is clean your forehead, cut the front bead, and apply with glue or tape. Once your forehead is secured, close your hair clips in a small horizontal braid or over loose hair.

Method two: integration with extensions

Before installing the lace frontal, you must have knowledge of hair weaving techniques. Many women choose this option because they simply want natural hair and line, but require nothing more in regards to high ponytails.

If you want something that doesn't match your own hair color or texture and don't want to deal with everyday styling, this is a good option. This will also act as a protective style for hair growth since your natural hair is hidden.

Your first task will be to select a braiding pattern and stitch the hair weave together. The braiding pattern may vary depending on your style. Some women who install curly hair use a serpentine pattern as the curls are supposed to flow freely and are a bit wild. If you want a sleek, straight look, the traditional circular pattern will work great. Braid your hair and then prepare your front lace. Mark where the lace front will end and hair extension will begin.

Some women prefer to install the lace front first and then the extensions so that the last top row of hair can be sewn on top or front. Others prefer to install the extensions first and then the lace unit using the method one sewing clips. Whatever your preference, make sure these two are installed closely so that the hair flows smoothly as a single unit.
