A wig installation is the professional application and styling of a wig: whether lace front, full lace, or closure, onto the client's head. A skilled stylist prepares the natural hair underneath, applies the wig securely, cuts and shapes the lace, and styles the wig to look natural and seamless.

The installation of your wig is dictated by your hair’s length, texture and thickness, the wig you choose, and the installation technique you go for. Full-lace, lace front, and 360 wigs tend to require your hair to be absolutely flat before the wig is applied; this is achieved by braiding your hair into cornrows, or by wearing a wig cap. Next, a special adhesive (tape or glue) is applied to the outer perimeter of your hair (ensuring no glue touches your own hair), the wig fitted to your head and fixed in place with clips to allow the glue to bond. Excess lace is trimmed off, and makeup may or may not be used to help blend the lace edge with your skin to create a natural-looking finish. If you’ve opted to have your wig sewn-in, you’ll swap the adhesive stage for stitching the wig in place.

A professional wig installation typically lasts 2-4 weeks depending on the adhesive used, maintenance, and lifestyle. Tape and glue installations require re-installation when the bond loosens. Sew-in installations can last longer with proper care.
