News: What are the steps to style my lace wig in a high ponytail?

Human Hair Lace wigs are generally categorized into three types:

- Lace Front Wigs
- Full Lace Wigs
- 360 Lace Wigs

If you're wondering whether you can wear a lace wig in a high ponytail, the answer is yes. However, it's important to understand the differences between these three types of lace wigs first. 

Lace Front Wigs feature a sheer lace only at the front edges of the wig. Many celebrities opt for this style to create the appearance of a natural hairline. However, since it doesn't cover the entire head, it's not ideal for high ponytails unless you select a lace front cap that includes a small piece of lace designed to secure around the neck, as shown in the image below:

This type of lace cap features a small sheer lace section at the neck that can be used for gluing. Full lace wigs, in contrast to lace front wigs that have a stretch of lace from ear to ear, cover the entire head. This allows for greater versatility in hairstyles. However, it's best to avoid wig caps with ear tabs, as they limit your ability to glue down the area around the ears.

This type of full lace cap is not ideal for a high ponytail. 360 Lace Wigs are similar to full lace wigs, but the lace only covers the perimeter, allowing for high ponytail styles. Now, let's go through the steps for applying a high ponytail.

**Stocking Cap Preparation**
1. A flat foundation is crucial for great results, so one method is to braid your hair straight back.
2. Clean your forehead with alcohol to ensure nothing interferes with the lace adhering properly with the glue.
3. Place the stocking cap on and apply glue along your forehead line.
4. Blow-dry the glue until it is completely dry.
5. If you want a bald scalp appearance, apply a bit of foundation on the stocking cap that matches your skin tone.

Now, let's apply the lace wig to the front.
1. Apply glue directly to your forehead and smooth it out.
2. After blow-drying on a cool setting, press the lace down.
3. Trim any excess lace around the ears and forehead for a seamless look.
4. To avoid a baby hair appearance, cut the lace in a slight zigzag rather than straight, and pluck the front hairs of the wig for a more natural effect.
5. To blend it with your skin, add a bit of hairspray.

**Back Side – Key Steps to Secure Your Wig for a High Ponytail**
Now that the front is done, let's move to the back.
1. Have someone pluck the wig from the back to mimic natural hair.
2. Trim any extra lace.
3. Apply glue at the nape of your neck, press the lace down, and smooth it out.
4. Blow-dry on a cool setting.

Ensure the lace is securely attached, and you can confidently style a high ponytail or an updo. 
**Pro Tip:** Applying mousse hair spray before creating a high ponytail can provide a soothing effect.
