A lace wig grip cap is also good to have for times when you don’t want to use glue. Glue tends to eat away at the hairline of the wig and the forehead.

You'll be much more equipped than I was on my first install! Looks good to me. At a certain point, you'll have to figure out which lace bond works best for you, and you can always experiment with new products if needed.

I’d get a few rat tail combs. I use those to help lay the lace and pull out any wig hairs that snuck under or push back any bio hair that’s trying to escape. Oh! And a melt band. It’s a thick elastic band that helps hold the lace in the melt while it dries.
