Lace-front toppers are fantastic for achieving a natural look, but one common issue many users face is lifting lace. Sometimes, lace fronts tend to stretch out a bit, buckle, or lift, even when you take extra good care of your lace topper. It’s unfortunate, but it does happen. Don’t worry—fixing it is simpler than you might think! In this step-by-step guide, we’ll show you how to quickly fix lifting lace on your lace topper and restore it to its flawless state.

What You’ll Need
To quickly and effectively fix your lifting lace, gather the following supplies:

• Lace adhesive or tape (Got2B)
• Cotton swabs
• Rubbing alcohol or makeup remover
• Rat-tail comb
• Blow dryer
• Small brush or sponge

Step 1: Clean the Lace Area

First, gently remove the topper if it’s still on. Take a cotton swab and dip it in rubbing alcohol or makeup remover to clean both your hairline and the underside of the lace. This helps remove oils, dirt, or product buildup that may have caused the lifting.
Pro Tip: Always use gentle motions to avoid damaging the lace.

Step 2: Apply Lace Adhesive or Tape

Now, choose between lace adhesive or double-sided lace tape based on your preference.

1. If using adhesive: Use a small brush or sponge to apply a thin layer of lace glue to the underside of the lace and along your hairline. Let it air-dry until tacky. The Got2B Blasting Freeze Spray is recommended. Some added bonuses are:

• Your lace topper won’t slip back;
• Your lace topper will feel more secure;
• Your lace topper will melt into your skin even more!

You can get this product at your local drug store in the hair product aisle! It is just a super strong hold hairspray.

2. If using tape: Cut small strips of lace tape and apply them to the underside of the lace. Press them firmly for a secure hold. We enclose a piece of walker tape for each order. You can also order the doulbe sides tape on the website.
Pro Tip: Make sure not to use too much glue, as excess can seep through the lace and cause a messy look.

Step 3: Reposition the Lace

Once your adhesive is tacky or the tape is applied, use a rat-tail comb to gently press the lace back down along your hairline. Make sure it’s smooth and lies flat for a seamless finish.

Step 4: Set the Adhesive

Using a blow dryer on a low setting, lightly heat the area to set the adhesive or tape. This helps ensure a strong bond and makes your lace lay flatter.
Pro Tip: Keep the blow dryer moving to avoid overheating one spot.

Step 5: Style Your Topper

Once the lace is securely attached, style your topper as usual. Comb the hairline gently with the rat-tail comb to ensure the lace blends seamlessly into your natural hairline.

Maintenance Tips to Prevent Future Lifting

To extend the life of your adhesive and avoid frequent touch-ups, follow these simple tips:

• Regular Cleaning: Clean the lace and your hairline regularly to remove oils and product buildup.
• Gentle Handling: When removing and reapplying your topper, be gentle to avoid putting unnecessary strain on the lace.

Fixing lifting lace on your topper doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. With the right tools and techniques, you can quickly restore your topper to its flawless, natural look. Keep these steps in mind the next time you encounter lifting lace, and you’ll be able to enjoy a perfect fit in no time!
