How to Get a Seamless Lace Melt Every Time
The difference between a wig that looks installed and one that looks like it's growing from your scalp comes down to one thing: the melt. Here's how to get it right every time.
What Is a Lace Melt?
A lace melt is the process of making the lace material invisible against your skin. When done properly, the lace becomes completely undetectable — giving you a natural-looking hairline.
The Right Tool for the Job
Stay Laid Melting Spray is specifically formulated to dissolve lace material into your adhesive, creating a seamless bond between lace, glue, and skin. Regular hairspray or water won't give you the same result.
Technique: How to Spray
Hold the bottle about 6 inches from your hairline. Spray in even, sweeping passes — don't concentrate too much product in one area. Cover the entire lace area with a generous, even coat.
You'll see the lace start to become transparent almost immediately. That's the formula working.
💡 PRO TIP
After spraying, wrap a silk or satin scarf around your hairline for 10–15 minutes. The gentle pressure helps the lace melt even more seamlessly into the adhesive.
Common Melting Mistakes
Not using enough product — be generous. The more evenly you coat the lace, the better the melt.
Spraying too close — this causes pooling and uneven results.
Not letting it dry — give the spray time to work. Don't touch or style until it's completely dry.
Skipping this step entirely — without melting, your lace sits on top of your skin instead of blending into it. It's the difference between a visible install and an invisible one.
