The main issue I had with it was that it just didn’t want to dry, no matter how little I used. I find the Got 2b gel (NOT the hairspray) is easier to use.

I don’t love that it has alcohol in it, but a girl needs to lay that lace!

It could be I just wasn’t blow drying it long enough. Hopefully it will work better for you.

Hi Angie!

I appreciate the suggestion and the retraction LOL. I did purchase it on Amazon but It doesn’t arrive til tomorrow, but definitely appreciate the heads up that it has been difficult to use. Thank you!

XOXO

So I’d like to retract the above statement. I’ve been using this product for about 2 weeks and it’s just….impossible.

So I am wearing my first ever lace front as well and it’s definitely been a learning curve!

I tried a few different things to “lay the lace”, watched lots of YT videos. After 4 months in this thing I feel I finally got the hang of it.

I found a product by a company called Hair Diagram called Bold Hold Lace Gelly. It’s made for women who take their wigs off at nite. There’s no alcohol in it, and it dissolves with water.

The directions sound a little crazy but it works if you follow them. First, you apply a thin layer where you want the lace to go. This takes some trial and error to get just the right amount. You let it get tacky before putting it on, I use a blow dryer to speed it up. Put on your wig and continue blow drying into place, then tie a scarf on for about ten minutes and that thing isn’t going anywhere!

The whole process is about 15 minutes but the result is FLAWLESS. If any gel gets on your forehead it comes right off with a qtip and some witch hazel.

Before this I was using Got 2B hairspray and it worked but made a messy, crunchy mess. Also, I wear an iwig, which is on the same quality level as a Follea – I do NOT want to ruin the lace on this girl!

One last thing, to help the lace curve more down and not straight out. I use a barrette, one of those Goody ones that snap into place? Right on the front at the part. This has helped a lot.

I wouldn’t steer you wrong, Y, I have learned so much from you over the years and am just trying to return the favor. Oh, and I still use my Wi-grip with this product but I think that’s optional.

It’s a process!
