How to install a Readymade Wig unit (at home!)
Love our XO wigs but don't know how to install one? Here's an in depth tutorial from our TikTok (@myxohair) where you can find more hair tutorials and style inpso xo.
Step 1: Bleach the knots
This is so that upon install, your knots aren't black but blonde for a more natural look. Follow with purple shampoo and conditioner to avoid brassy looking knots. Then wash hair with conditioner.
 
 
Step 2: Tweeze the hairline
This helps in addition to bleaching knots to give a really natural look to hair. As you tweeze, try to imitate the outline of your natural hairline so that your wig is best suited to you.
Step 3: Tint lace colour to match skin tone
Use your favourite lace tint to imitate the colour of your skin, you can use your favouriten face powder/bronzer for this also.
Step 4: Wear wig and cut out ears
Wear your brand new XO wig and adjust elastic bands if need be. Make sure there's an equal amount of lace on both sides so that hair isn't uneven. Cut the lace around your ears.
Step 5: Make sure you're happy and apply lace glue
At this point, your wig should be ready to glue down. Add dots of glue and spread across forehead. Wait until almost dry and lay lace down with a comb, not your hands.
Step 6: Melt lace with elastic edge band and begin to hot comb
Whilst your glue is drying under your edge band, grab some hair wax to help part your wig with a hot comb. Grab some foam and brush foam in. Take a durag to flatten for 10 mins and blow dry. Once flattened, grab a hot comb again to continue styling


Step 7: Cut the lace off
Once the glue has gone clear, begin to cut off excess lace that isn't glued down. Once cut off, spray with spritz or 'Olive Oil Fix It Superhold' spray. Melt lace with elastic band again and hairdryer.
Step 8: Tweeze hair and decide where you want your baby hairs!
Once you decided where you want baby hairs, tweeze around hairline again and baby hairs.
Step 9: Curl baby hairs with mini straightener
Curling hairs help them to swoop and get into shape with minimal product added.
Step 10: Lay, lay and lay again (haha!)
Grab your edge band and cover lace. Leave for 10 mins
Once you come back and remove the elastic band, your hair should be laid AF. NOW - it's time to style! Get your fave straighteners, curlers or waver and do your thang x
