When it comes to achieving a glamorous and full - bodied look, a voluminous front lace wig is a game - changer. As a front lace wig supplier, I've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of a well - crafted, voluminous wig. In this blog, I'll share some tried - and - true methods to make your front lace wig more voluminous.
Choose the Right Wig
The foundation of a voluminous look starts with selecting the right front lace wig. Our 13x6 Frontal Transparent Lace Wig is an excellent choice. The 13x6 frontal area provides a wide coverage, allowing for more hair to be styled and creating a fuller appearance. The transparent lace is almost invisible on the scalp, giving a natural look while still accommodating a large amount of hair.
Another option is our 13x4 Frontal Hd Lace Wig. The high - definition (HD) lace is extremely thin and breathable, and it blends seamlessly with the skin. The 13x4 frontal also offers a great base for adding volume.
Our Hd Lace Front Wigs in general are made with high - quality hair that has a natural luster and can hold styles well. When choosing a wig, consider the hair density. Higher density wigs, such as those with 180% or 200% density, will naturally look more voluminous. However, keep in mind that very high - density wigs may be heavier and less breathable.
Pre - styling Preparation
Before you start styling your front lace wig for volume, it's important to prepare the wig properly. First, detangle the hair gently using a wide - tooth comb or a wig brush. Start from the ends and work your way up to the roots to prevent breakage.
Washing the wig is also crucial. Use a mild shampoo and conditioner formulated for synthetic or human hair, depending on the type of your wig. After washing, avoid wringing or twisting the hair. Instead, gently squeeze out the excess water and pat it dry with a towel. Let the wig air - dry on a wig stand to maintain its shape.
Applying a heat protectant is essential if you plan to use heat styling tools. Heat protectants create a barrier between the hair and the heat, reducing damage and helping the hair to hold its style better. Spray the heat protectant evenly throughout the hair, focusing on the areas you'll be styling.
Styling Techniques for Volume
Backcombing
Backcombing is a classic technique for adding volume to the hair. Start by sectioning the hair at the crown of the wig. Take a small section of hair and hold it horizontally. Using a fine - tooth comb, comb the hair towards the scalp in short, quick strokes. This will create a tangle at the base of the hair, adding volume. Repeat this process with several small sections at the crown.
After backcombing, smooth the top layer of hair over the backcombed sections to hide the tangles. You can use a little hairspray to hold the style in place. However, be careful not to over - backcomb, as it can damage the hair and make it look frizzy.
Teasing the Roots
Similar to backcombing, teasing the roots is another way to add volume. Use a teasing comb to lift the hair at the roots and gently tug at it. This will create a fluffy effect at the scalp. Teasing can be done all over the wig or just in specific areas where you want more volume, such as the front or the crown.
Using Curling Irons or Hot Rollers
Curling the hair can add both volume and body. For a natural - looking volume, use a large - barrel curling iron or hot rollers. Wrap sections of hair around the curling iron or rollers and hold for a few seconds. Once the curls have cooled, gently run your fingers through them to loosen them up.
The curls will add dimension to the hair, making it look more voluminous. You can also try different curling techniques, such as alternating the direction of the curls or creating loose waves for a more beachy, voluminous look.
Lifting the Frontal Area
The frontal area of the wig is crucial for creating a voluminous look. Use a rat tail comb to lift the hair at the front of the wig and secure it with bobby pins. You can also add a small amount of hairspray to hold the lifted hair in place. This will give the illusion of a higher hairline and more volume at the front.
Products for Volume
Hairspray
Hairspray is a must - have product for maintaining the volume of your front lace wig. Choose a hairspray that provides a strong hold without making the hair look sticky or crunchy. Lightly spray the hairspray over the styled areas, focusing on the areas where you've added volume, such as the crown and the front.
Mousse
Mousse is great for adding volume and body to the hair. Apply a small amount of mousse to the roots of the hair before styling. Use your fingers to distribute the mousse evenly and then style the hair as desired. Mousse will give the hair a light, airy texture and help it to hold its shape.
Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner
Using volumizing shampoo and conditioner can also make a difference in the long - term volume of your wig. These products are formulated to add body and fullness to the hair. Wash and condition your wig regularly with volumizing products to keep the hair looking thick and voluminous.
Maintenance for Long - lasting Volume
To keep your front lace wig looking voluminous over time, proper maintenance is key. Store the wig on a wig stand when not in use to prevent it from getting flattened. Avoid sleeping in the wig, as this can cause the hair to become matted and lose its volume.
Regularly brush and detangle the hair to prevent knots and tangles. If the hair starts to lose its volume, you can repeat the styling techniques mentioned above. However, be gentle with the hair to avoid over - styling and damage.
If you notice that the hair is becoming dry or brittle, you can use a hair mask or a deep - conditioning treatment. Apply the treatment according to the instructions and let it sit for the recommended time. Rinse it out thoroughly and style the hair as usual.

Making a front lace wig more voluminous is a combination of choosing the right wig, proper preparation, styling techniques, and maintenance. By following these tips, you can achieve a full - bodied, glamorous look that will turn heads.
