Need Some Wig Wisdom? Here's How Best to Install & Style Your Frontal

Tools and materials:

• Leave-in conditioner
• Hair oil in a spray bottle
• Hair glue
• Hair glue spray
• Hair mousse
• Styling gel
• Tangle teaser brush
• Silky scarf

1. Clean the frontal

Detangle the frontal with your hands to minimize hair shedding or pulling. Then, wash the frontal with shampoo.

2. Squish to dry

Squish it dry from the bottom with a towel. This will enhance the curls.

3. Condition the hair

Run leave-in conditioner from the roots to the ends. Squish and scrunch the curls. Spray the hair oil over the entire frontal. Finger comb it through to the ends.

Note: You may get some shedding from the frontal. This is normal.

4. Frontal install

I have eight cane rows in my hair, braided backwards. Pull the frontal on and arrange it around your forehead and temples to find where it sits best. Then, pull the frontal back a bit to apply the hair glue. 

Use a small pea-size amount and rub it along the temple, from the ear notch up and around the forehead. Try not to apply the glue to your hair, but just to your edges.

Spray the hair glue spray on the glue you just applied. Let the glue dry a little so it's not still wet when you stick the frontal on top.

Gently slide the frontal down to set on your face. Pull it down tightly onto the glue. The longer you hold it there, the better it sets.

Tie a silky scarf around your forehead to help the frontal set in place. Keep the scarf on for a while.

5. Apply gel

Put some styling gel in your palms and work it through the hair all the way down to the ends. This stops the frontal from getting frizzy and keeps the curls defined.

6. Finishing up the look

I used the tangle teezer brush a little in the front to help define the front curls. Then, put a little mousse to flatten the top for a more natural look.

7. Wear a silk scarf to set the style

Tie the silky scarf around the crown and top of the head to set for a few minutes. Scrunch one last time and admire the results!
