How to block a lace wig

Equipment:

• Lace wig
• pins
• head
• Gloon 
• Water spray
• cotton wool and stocking for clean
• alcohol cleaner
• tissue

We were firstly shown a demonstration by Helen of how to Block a lace wig and the process, once it was shown we gathered all the equipment and had a try ourselves.

1. Firstly we started with placing the lace wig on the head and placing tissue under the lace. We placed some cotton wool in a stocking and dipped it in the alcohol cleaner and cleaned the lace at the edge. This process is gentle and gets off any dirt or make-up. Rub it over the lace carefully until all make-up is off.
2. Next take the tissue away and flatten the lace down, then we grabbed a piece of gloom which basically looks like a bit of ribbon and spray it over with water.
3. Then flatten the lace at the front and place the gloom on top of the edge of the lace and start pinning it down. Instead of pinning one after the other its better to pin one up and one down in a zig zag pattern to make sure the gloom stays secure. 
4. Start working your way all the way round the edge of the lace pinning it in a zig zag pattern, once you get to the ear section go round it and then pin it to the top of the ear and we finished there.
5. Do this round both sides of the lace following the edge and then finally with the last piece of gloom pin it to the head out of the way
