Step 3: Place the eraser into hot water for two and a half to three minutes to gain a soft but not runny consistency. Or you can also blow dry it to warm it up. But do not over warm the product because it will become too soft, thus making it difficult to apply.
Step 4: Apply the soften eraser to the area of your chosen area, like the parting and hairline, then gently press and apply until you reach your desired coverage. Remember if the eraser becomes dry during your application, just reheat it with a blow dryer.
Step 5: Carefully remove pins and your lace wig from foam/mannequin, and then put on your human hair wig as usual. Then continue to rub the soft eraser to the parting area until it achieves the ideal effect.
Step 6: Rub some oil into a towel and use the towel to eliminate any eraser that may be on the hair for a flawless finish to your wig styling. Notice: You have to be careful not to overheat it and keep it topside up otherwise it will leak every and leave a mess.

Step 1: The first thing you need to do is expose the lace. Firstly, turn the wig inside out and place the HD lace wig on your foam or mannequin head, and lay it flat and smooth all the hair back and out of the way.
Step 2: Use some pins to pin them down securely in the center of the head and on each side at the ear.
Step 3: Take out your foundation stick or powder foundation to your dense makeup brush, and then rub it on the lace starting at the perimeter going backward. Pay attention to rub it in an up and down ‘stamping’ motion and make sure you really press down as you apply it on the lace so that the foundation goes through the lace to the other side and covers those knots. It would be better to use your own foundation stick or personal powder foundation, which can make you cover up those nasty knots and grids flawless.
Step 4: Next spray the hair spray directly onto the lace and let it sit for about 10 minutes, then go back and apply more foundation until you get the level of coverage that you like. Or you also can set it with a little deep setting powder after applying the foundation stick and then on the scalp where you blended it in.
