Master Wig Styling: Lace Cutting, Layering & Curling with Haith Johnson
If you're looking to take your wig styling skills to the next level, then you've come to the right place! Whether you're a beginner or an experienced wig maker, we’ve got the inside scoop to help you master the art of wig customization.
At Le'Host Hair & Wigs, our mission is to empower you to style wigs like a pro, and in this tutorial, our very own Haith Johnson walks you through the step-by-step process of styling a wig to perfection. From one-on-one lace cutting to creating soft layers and adding beautiful curls, Haith shares expert techniques that you can easily replicate at home or in your salon.
Step 1: Lace Cutting for Seamless Results
The first step to styling any wig is getting the lace just right. Haith recommends cutting lace in sections for better control, ensuring a smooth and natural fit. Here's the trick: don’t rush! Take your time and use sharp scissors—Haith prefers fabric scissors from craft stores like Joann Fabrics—to make sure you get the best results.
And don’t worry about a few loose knots here and there—it happens! Just keep going, and trust that the final look will be flawless.
Step 2: Soft Layering for Volume
Once the lace is cut, it’s time to move on to layering. The goal here is to create soft, natural layers that add volume without thinning the wig too much. Haith demonstrates how to glide the scissors for smooth, gradual cuts. Pro Tip: always cut less hair than you think you need to—remember, you can always take more off, but you can't put it back!
Layering is essential for creating a customized look that flatters the wearer’s face shape and enhances the wig’s natural flow.
Step 3: Curling for Body & Texture
The final step is all about adding those beautiful, bouncy curls! Haith uses high-quality curling irons, heating them up to around 400-450°F to ensure the best results for synthetic wigs. Cheap curling irons won’t cut it here—you need high heat to lock in those perfect curls!
Haith opts for soft beach waves to give the wig body and texture without heavy curls. This is the key to achieving a look that’s full of life and movement.
