Your Lace Wig Can Live Again! This is how to repair your lace wig....

I bought my Lace Wig from a local store for $250.00 on sale and it was beautiful, that's until it began to lose a few hairs and a little tare appeared on the lace! Let's start by Shampooing and let your Lace Wig Air-dry.

      Repair:
      Turn Your lace wig inside out, place on a manikin head.
      Take a small needle and some nylon thread to repair the tare. If you've lost a lot of netting you will have to make a patch to fill in the area.
      For this you can use, a similar net fabric that you can purchase from the fabric store. You can also cut a small piece of your neutral or flesh color pantyhose and sew it in just to fill in what you have lost now using tiny stitches sew it in place to replace what was lost and lock stitch it in with a few small knots and cut.
