The Most Easy Ways to Fix Torn Lace Front Wig

Last Update Jul 18, 2025

The wig lace, especially a thin HD lace wig can be torn in the process of installing and plucking the lace. When it comes to this case, many people choose to send it to be repaired or give it up to buy a new one. Now you don't have to do it. In fact, repairing a lace frontal wig is actually pretty simple and not as complicated as you think. Then we will show you two easy and quick ways to fix the holes in lace wigs.

how to fix a ripped lace wig

Hack 1: Replace the Lace Closure

What You Will Need to Prepare in Advance if You Own a UNice Magic Lace Wig:

Step 1: Take down the old ripped lace closure, and you can peel off the piece

Step 2: Take out the new top and attach the new piece to the wig base. It is as simple as 1-2-3

Hack 2: Use Tape To Fix The Ripped Wig

What You Will Need To Prepare In Advance:

  • Bonding Tape;
  • 3M Transpore tape;
  • Your damaged lace frontal wig;
  • A Styrofoam wig head;
  • Some pins;
  • Acetone;
  • Knot sealer;
  • Some water;
  • A wide-toothed comb;

Step 1: Spritz the hair with a little water and use a wide-toothed comb to brush it through from the bottom up to remove any knots or tangles.

Step 2: Turn your lace front wig inside out until the lace is completely facing you, and then use some pins to secure the wig on the styrofoam wig head so that you can clearly see the area you need to repair.

Step 3: Use acetone to clean the area that's been ripped, spray a light layer of knot sealer on the rear area to straighten the lace, and then allow the knot sealer to dry for five minutes.

Step 4: Use some pins to pin the edges of the tear together so that the ripped edges are touching.

Step 5: Cut a piece of bonding tape slightly larger than the torn hole, remove the back paper, and place it over the torn area. Press the tape firmly onto the lace with your fingers to ensure the tape has attached to the lace, then remove the remaining paper.

Step 6: Cover the tape using a sheet of 3M transparent tape to prevent it from sticking to your scalp. Pay attention to the transport tape that needs to be the same size as the bonding tape patch. Cut the transport tape, place it on top of the bonding tape, and press it firmly.

Hack 3: Use a Needle To Repair It

What You Will Need To Prepare In Advance:

  • Needle;
  • Thread;
  • Your damaged lace wig;
  • A Styrofoam wig head;
  • Some pins;
  • Acetone;
  • Some Water;
  • A wide-toothed comb;

sew the hole on the lace wig before and after

Step 1: Spritz the hair with a little water and use a wide-toothed comb to brush it through from the bottom up to remove any knots or tangles.

Step 2: Turn your lace wig inside out until the lace is completely facing you, and then use some pins to secure the wig on the styrofoam wig head so that you can clearly see the area you need to repair.

Step 3: Use acetone to clean the area that's been ripped.

Step 4: Use some pins to pin the edges of the tear together so that the ripped edges are touching.

Step 5: Choose a sturdy thread that matches the color of your lace to loop it on the needle and then tie it off in the end. You can also thread it through the needle and tie the ends together to make the thread more reinforced.

Step 6: Begin stitching with a straightforward overcast stitch and keep your stitches small and near the tear at the same time. Only do this, and your comb or brush will not get caught in the thread later. When you have stitched the complete tear area, don't forget to tie the thread in a double knot and cut off the excess.

Note:

1. You must make sure the needle is pretty small. After all, a big needle means a bigger hole. Compared to a big needle, a small needle goes through your frontal, which will not cause any more damage than you already have.

2. If possible, please choose an invisible thread as your saving grace. Because it is made of polyester, it is literally not like linen or some type of fabric thread. The thread does not break and is stretchy at all, so this won't snap your lace wig or cause any more damage.

3. When you start to sew the lace frontal, please start from a little bit further back from the ripped area to ensure the holes won't grow or get bigger. And the first knot can go through more times just to make sure the thread is secured and locked into place.

Are these steps easier than you think? However, the easiest way to fix your lace wig is not to have to fix it at all. For wig wear, the thing you need to do most is to care for lace wigs in the proper way. For example, using proper shampoo and conditioner to regularly wash and deep-condition your wig, avoiding sleeping with your wig at night, and so on.
