    A ponytail 

     

    This lace front wig hairstyle is perfect for women in love with a neat look! When in a ponytail, hair is pulled away from your face and secured at the back of your head with a hair tie or a clip. Most women either tie the hair at the base of the neck or a few inches above. 

     

    Some women think that the ponytail look is impossible to achieve with a lace front wig but it is actually perfectly possible. Here is what you need to do: 

     

    1. Attach your lace front wig to your scalp
    2. Leave a few loose strands of your natural hair poking out of your wig from the back and sides 
    3. Collect all the wig hair and secure it with a cloth hairband
    4. Position the loose strands of your natural hair around the lace front wig to complete the look

     

    Creating a slicked-back, cheerleader-style ponytail might cause strands of the base to break. That’s why we advise you to create a mid- or low-ponytail. 

     

    Check out the video below to see how women across the globe create different ponytail hairstyles:

    A messy bun

     

    The next lace front wig hairstyle in our beginner's list is perfect for women who are in love with the laid-back look. Definitely one of the easiest updos for women, a messy bun is very much like a casual gathering of hair at the crown section, twisted into a bun and secured with a hair tie. 

     

    A messy bun hairstyle will be super easy for ladies who have already mastered the ponytail with a lace front hairpiece. So, if you are not much into ponytails, here’s how to get the messy bun right:

     

      1. Tug your hair into a ponytail at your desired height. Don’t bother with a comb since you need texture to make a messy bun. 
      2. Twist and spin your wig hair around the base of your ponytail. Wrap it below the bun and leave the tail out at the end. 
      3. Lastly, secure your bun with hair elastic or pins. You can also secure the position of the bun using a lace front wig hair spray!

     

    There are many other chic ways to master a messy bun hairstyle. Check out this video for more ideas!

     

     

    Pro tip: A messy bun looks stunning on a lace front wig with long hair. Also, a hair system with medium-heavy density is perfect for this hairdo.

     

    Long-layered cut

     

    We have covered three hairstyles that can be done without picking up any scissors. Now, we are going to share a hairdo that will require a little bit of trimming but one that looks amazing all the same.

    Perfecting this hairstyle requires a lot of patience and focus since you have to cut the hair on your lace front wig in layers. Here’s how to do this unique lace front wig hairstyle:

      2. Take all the hair and hold them with a clip
      3. Release an inch of your wig hair from the lower bottom and cut it using a sharp pair of scissors
      4. Release the upper inch layer and cut it slightly above the lowermost layer 
      5. Repeat step 4 with all the layers. Cut them in such a way that each layer is sharp and stands out.
      6. Let loose the hair on the crown and part it from the center. Take one half and cut it straight to have an even look. 
      7. Similarly, take the other half of your lace front wig hair and cut it in equal length to the first half
      8. Complete the look by combing your wig hair and pressing it straight
