If you are new to hair toppers, you probably have a lot of questions about how to keep them secure. One of the most common questions we hear is, "If I purchase a lace front, do I have to glue it down?”

The short answer is no. You do not strictly need to glue your lace front topper. However, while it is not a requirement, many women choose to use a little adhesive to create a seamless, natural hairline and prevent the lace from lifting during the day.

When Should You Use Glue on Your Hair Topper?

Even though it is optional, there are a few situations where using a little glue or specialized tape is a great idea:

• You are very active: If you go to the gym, run, or sweat often, glue provides extra security.
• You want an undetectable look: Glue helps the lace lie perfectly flat against your forehead, making the hairline look like your own.
• The lace is lifting: Since everyone has a slightly different head shape, using only clips or a halo wire might not be enough to keep the lace front flat. So, if you run into this situation, a tiny bit of glue fixes this instantly.

One of our customers recently asked: ”I feel like too much lace is showing... maybe if I trim it back and just use glue it will camouflage better? Or will that totally ruin it?” Our advice: Trimming the lace carefully can help, but using a professional adhesive is the best way to ”camouflage” the edge without ruining the piece.

Great Alternatives to Glue: If you hate the idea of sticky products, don’t worry. Many hair toppers for women come with an adjustable halo wire. This wire sits hidden under your hair and pulls the topper forward and down, keeping the lace flat against your skin without any chemicals.

Do You Need to Glue a Closed Lace Hair Topper?

Many customers get confused between different base types. One person asked: ”What’s the difference between closed lace and lace front? I don’t want to have to glue down anything.”

The UniWigs closed lace topper features a folded edge treatment on the front, which helps secure the soft lace edges and gives this area a slightly fixed shape. This prevents it from lifting as easily as a lace front topper. Therefore, you generally do not need to glue it and can easily keep it flat.

This also answers another common concern: ”Will a closed lace stay flat if put in front of your hairline without using glues?” Because of the folded edge, these hair toppers for thinning hair stay in place much better than traditional lace fronts if you prefer not to use adhesive.
