Sis, the lace better not be lifting, not on our watch!
We’re outside this summer, and the only thing that should be glistening is your skin, not your lace. Whether you’re sweating it out at brunch, dancing at a day party, or vibing on the beach, a flawless melt is a must. We're spilling the tea on how to melt your wig like a pro, even when the temperature is giving 95 and humid.

💦 First—Why Your Wig Lifts in Summer

Let’s keep it real:

• Heat = sweat

• Sweat = moisture under your lace

• Moisture = glue breakdown

• Glue breakdown = lace sliding by lunchtime

But here’s the gag: It doesn’t have to be that way. With the right prep, products, and technique, you can keep that lace snatched from sunrise to sundown.

🔥 Step 1: Prep Like a Pro

Clean skin is key. Use an alcohol wipe or witch hazel to remove oil and residue from your hairline. If your skin is super oily, follow up with a mattifying primer (yes, like your makeup primer—thank us later).

🎯 Step 2: Use the Right Lace

Not all lace is built for the heat. We've got options that melt into your skin and hold up better in warmer weather.

🧴 Step 3: Apply the Right Products

Here’s what your melt toolkit should include:

• Lace glue (waterproof + humidity resistant)

• Holding spray (like Ebin or Got2B)

• Blow dryer (cool setting only)

• Elastic band or melting band

• Edge brush + mini comb

Apply your glue in thin layers—2 or 3 max—and let each layer dry until tacky. Lay the lace, press it in, and wrap it with your elastic band for at least 15 minutes.

💁🏾♀️ Step 4: Lay Your Edges (or Don’t)

Edges are optional, but if you’re doing them—do them after the melt. Use a non-greasy edge control and a fine edge brush. Don’t overdo it. A couple of swoops go a long way.

Mercy’s fave? The “No Baby Hair, Just Melt” look. Clean, grown, and giving natural scalp.

🕶️ Step 5: Summer-Proof Your Melt

• Use wig holding spray (like Ebin Wonder Lace Spray Extreme) to touch up around the hairline mid-day.

• Carry a mini fan if you’re going somewhere really hot (yes, we’re serious).

• At night, wrap your edges with a satin scarf + melting band combo to lock everything in.
