Fixing up your lace front wigs makes it easy for you to express your unique style no matter the season,
If we’re being honest, the issue is that a lot of women don’t know how to properly wear a wig, believe it or not.
This article is going to thoroughly cover how to wear a lace front wig. The ease of putting on one and taking it off makes it an appealing fashion accessory for all times of the year.
For Beginners: How To Wear A Lace Front Wig The Right Way
If you’ve never worn a lace front wig or if this is your first time, consider this a helpful resource to introduce you by walking you through all the steps.
No doubt, you’ve seen those celebrities that hurry up and don a lace front wig just to look cute on Instagram or whatever. Some of the biggest celebrities have some lace front fails as a result.
Doja Cat: Lace Front Fail Exhibit A
Photo credit: Youtube Feby Torres of Basketball Wives LA: Lace Front Fail Exhibit B
Photo Credit: Youtube The issue is that they haven’t taken the time to fit the lace front properly on their head. Let’s go over a step-by-step process on making sure you wear your lace front the right way. But first….
1. What Is A Lace Front Wig?
If you’re a beginner, take heart: You’re going to learn all there is about how to wear a lace front wig by reading this.
First off, you may be wondering what is a lace wig. A lace front wig is a hair piece that has a “lace” or see-through mesh attached to the wig. The “lace front” lines the front (and sometimes back) of the wig, creating a hairline.
Lace front wigs are extremely popular because they create hairlines that look realistic and are easy to style.
A lace front wig is made up of three parts:
- The wig cap: Protective covering worn underneath
- The lace: The sheer mesh trim around the wig
- The wig itself: The Hair
Make sure you’re OK with the wig’s hair density
You want to determine if you want thick hair or thin hair as well as the style you want.
Each lace front wig has a cap on the inside, which protects your head. Many full lace wigs have hooks to tighten them.
Many of them also have combs on three sides of your head.
2. Cut The Lace Off The Front Of The Wig
Grab some clippers for this part.
What you’ll want to do is trim some of the lace front back to adjust to where your natural hairline should be.
As you trim the hairline, make sure you don’t cut too close to the actual wig. You don’t want to cut any hair strands because this could cause shedding.
Lace front wigs never come with perfectly symmetric hairlines because that’s not how natural hairlines are.
3. Pin Your Hair Up and Put The Stocking Cap On Your Head
Now it’s time to pin your real hair up so that it’s as compact as possible. The reason is so that the stocking cap can fit without any high points or bumps.
Stocking caps will come usually in shades of brown or a black one. It’s always good to use a stocking cap that is as close to your complexion as you can get it.
4. Put The Lace Front On Your Head
Once your wig cap is secured, it’s time to put the lace front on your head. It’s more to it than just plopping in onto your head.
Here’s what you should do:
- Tighten the straps in the back
- Use the combs to maneuver the wig in position
- Use both hands to gently push the wig in a comfortable position on your head
5. Experiment With Different Styles
Because every person’s head and face is shaped a bit differently, you’ll want to play around with your lace front to see which styles match you best. Here are some ways to wear your lace front:
- Wrap your hair up in the back to accent your cheeks.
- Pull your hair behind your ears to accentuate your jawline.
- Straighten your hair and wear it long.
Which ever style you choose, be confident in your look and don’t be afraid to switch it up as many times as you like throughout the week or month.
Final Thought
Wearing a lace front wig shouldn’t be a chore or feel like a burden. Have fun with your hair. Rejoice in your looks you can pull off.
A lace front wig is one of the most convenient ways to explore your personal fashion.

Atlanta is leaning hard into public transportation for the foreseeable future with the recent announcement of four new MARTA stations coming to Atlanta.
The news was shared by Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, who stressed that any new transit project address the city’s equity needs.
“Our city’s transportation landscape is dynamic, mirroring the diverse growth and evolution of Atlanta’s neighborhoods. Both legacy and emerging communities have immediate transportation needs that deserve effective solutions,” said Dickens.
Among the plans are to build new MARTA stations around the city, including a heavy rail system at Murphy Crossing.
Where Are the New MARTA Stations Being Built?
Here are the locations for the four MARTA stations:
Murphy Crossing
1050 Murphy Ave., Atlanta, Ga. 30310
Located at the intersection of Murphy Avenue and Sylvan Road, Murphy Crossing is a redevelopment site that was once slated for office/commercial but funding fell through. Owned by the Beltline, now its use as a transit hub becomes clear.
Krog Street/Hulsey Yard
Boulevard Dr., Atlanta, Ga. SE 30307
The city’s transit plans also include transforming the Krog Street and the Halsey depot, a CSX freight storage property, into a MARTA station.
Also, construction of a corridor for a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line to connect the redeveloped Bowen Homes community with Ponce City Market.
Joseph E. Boone
Among the infill MARTA station investments is a rail hub on Joseph E. Boone Boulevard.
The project will highlight civic collaboration between the City of Atlanta in partnership with the Atlanta BeltLine, and MARTA to deliver equitable transportation projects across Atlanta.
Armour Yards
Armour Circle, NE Atlanta, Ga. 30324
Officially the city’s MARTA rail yard, the Armour Circle project will MARTA’s expansion meet the city’s transportation goals as a major metropolitan city.
“It is imperative that our transportation investments are strategically and equitably deployed to increase ridership on MARTA’s heavy rail network and bus system fostering a more connected and unified Atlanta,” he said.
In addition to developing design and financing plans, the directive from Dickens calls for community engagement efforts to ensure the design of the infill stations are accessible and appropriate for their respective neighborhoods.

For the first time in half a decade, Delta Air Lines is changing its boarding process. The Atlanta-based carrier says that on May 1, boarding passes will be categorized by zones.
The way Delta lets flyers board its planes — based on cabin, ticket type and Medallion status — is going away.
The reason why Delta is making the change is because it better aligns with its international partners and simplifies the boarding process.
How Will Delta’s Boarding Status Change?
Delta says flyers will board in the same order, but the categories will be called zones. beginning with zone 1 and ending with zone 8.
For example, a Delta Comfort+ ticket will board in Zone 3, and a Sky Priority customer will be in Zone 4, according to a chart on the airline’s website. The last zone, 8, will be for basic economy passengers.
Delta said the change will “provide customers more clarity into the boarding sequence and make the boarding process more intuitive—especially for infrequent travelers and/or customers who might face a language barrier at the gate.”
Final Lap
Most people in Atlanta know that Delta is the best airline at its airport. There are many reasons why.
Not only is it the world’s busiest airport, but it’s state-of-the-art in every way. If you’re interesting in traveling around Atlanta via car or even on scooter, here’s what to know.

Former President Donald Trump stopped inside of an Atlanta Chick-fil-A on Wednesday, April 10, 2024, to put in an enormous order for his supporters on hand. The Vine City Chick-fil-A has been in operation for a few years now as being a part of a Arthur Blank-led revitalization plan.
Trump was on town to participate in a fundraiser to help pay for some adverse judgments that went against him in a New York court.
At the Chick-fil-A, Trump told the associates that “Is business good? Making a lot of money? So everyone can get rich, right?” He want on to ask them if they liked each other.
What Did Trump Order at the Atlanta Chick-fil-A
Trump ordered “30 milkshakes” and also “some chicken, that way we can take care of the customers.” Assuming he didn’t get a discount, the milkshakes alone would cost $150. With chicken, we’re talking double that at least.
Here’s Trump in action in the ATL:
Trump is obviously familiar with the food, but does he know about Chick-fil-A’s secret menu? Maybe we can put him up on game.
Final Bite
Chick-fil-A has consistently been voted one of the top fast-food eateries in America. Along with solid customer service and a secret menu, the restaurant may not be the trendiest but it gets the job done.

The U.S. Postal Service says it will honor the Atlanta Braves baseball legend for his many contributions and off the field.

The stamp art features a digital painting of Aaron as a member of the Atlanta Braves, showing his famous right-handed batting stance from the waist up. The selvage showcases a digital painting of Aaron watching the ball he had just hit for his record-breaking 715th home run on April 8, 1974.
Greg Breeding, an art director for USPS, designed the stamp and pane with original art by Chuck Styles.
The Hank Aaron stamp will be issued in panes of 20. As a Forever stamp, it will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail 1‑ounce price.
The official first day of issue and stamp dedication ceremony location will be announced at a later date.
Aaron, considered by many as the greatest hitter in Major League Baseball, passed away in January 2021 after an illness.
How To Order the Hank Aaron Stamp
Customers can purchase the Hank Aaron stamps and other products through the Postal Store at usps.com/shopstamps, by calling 844-737-7826, by mail through USA Philatelic or at Post Office locations nationwide.
