Overview

• Focus: Fixing cap ripples in lace wigs, specifically 3D frontal wigs.
• Goal: Ensure smooth installation without ripples on the hairline.

Problem: Cap Ripples

• Cause: Cap construction, especially in 3D frontal wigs, can lead to ripples.
• Detection: When the cap is worn, if the center protrudes or sticks out, it indicates potential rippling upon installation.

Solution: Adjusting the Cap

1. Preparation:
   • Remove adjustable straps inside the cap.
   • Set the cap loosely on a mannequin head or canvas head.
2. Sewing Technique:
   • Identify the area at the back that needs adjustment.
   • Use a needle and thread to fold and sew the lace onto the rim of the cap.
   • Ensure folds are minimal to prevent lace puncturing and customize based on head size.
   • Focus on sewing near the comb areas for additional adjustments.

Installation

• Steps:
  • Bleach knots and wash the wig.
  • Style using a silk press.
  • Use melting spray for a seamless hairline.
  • Trim excess lace using a razor.
• Result:
  • No visible ripples; the lace lays flat and smooth.
