If you’re buying a wig from Stylish Styles by Tee a lot of the hard work is done for you. However, if you want that perfect blend, there’s a few tricks you might want to consider.
- Adding a Band
This adds extra security to your wig for a flatter more secure fit. - Tinting Your Lace
Lace tint helps dye your lace to so it blends with your natural skin tone. - Use a Wig Grip
Similar to a band, this helps secure your wig. This is perfect for those of you who don't want to secure your wig with adhesive.
These tools can help you achieve a flatter, more secure install, while our lace tint products can make your wig appear more like skin by matching your skin tone without cakey makeup.
