Preventing a lace frontal from lifting at the edges requires a mix of proper installation, the right products, and consistent maintenance. Frontals offer a seamless hairline and allow for versatile styling, but keeping them secure—especially at the edges—can be challenging if not installed or maintained correctly.
Start with clean skin: Before applying adhesive or gel, cleanse your forehead area with an alcohol-based solution to remove oil, sweat, or makeup residue. This ensures maximum grip. Always use a strong-hold adhesive or lace glue specifically designed for frontals and apply it in thin, even layers. Let each layer dry slightly (to a tacky finish) before adding the next for a long-lasting hold.
Use a blow dryer on cool to help set the glue before placing the lace down. After securing the lace, press down firmly with a comb or edge tool. Once in place, wrap your hair with a silk or elastic band for 10–15 minutes to help the lace blend seamlessly into your skin.
Avoid heavy sweating and excess moisture around your edges. If you're working out or in humid weather, opt for a waterproof adhesive and carry a small edge control or touch-up gel for quick fixes. You can also try a combination of glue and gel for better security.
Regularly cleaning and reapplying your adhesive keeps the bond strong and the lace looking fresh. Also, avoid pulling or tugging at the edges when styling.
