How to Lay a Closure With Got2b Glued
Achieving a flawless and natural-looking closure is essential for a polished and professional hairstyle. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, using the right products and techniques can make all the difference. One of the most reliable products for securing a closure is the Got2b Glued styling gel. This guide will walk you through the process of laying a closure with Got2b Glued in a way that ensures durability, comfort, and a seamless finish.
1. Gather Your Tools and Materials
Before you begin, it’s important to have everything you need at hand to avoid interruptions. Here’s a list of essential tools and materials:
| Tool/Material | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Closure | Provides the natural hairline appearance |
| Got2b Glued Styling Gel | Adheres the closure securely |
| Got2b Freezing Spray | Adds extra hold for long-lasting results |
| Wig cap | Creates a flat base for the closure |
| Scissors | Used to cut the lace and trim excess cap |
| Tweezers | For plucking the hairline if needed |
| Rat-tail comb | Helps with precision and parting |
| Blow dryer | Speeds up the drying process |
| Makeup (optional) | For tinting the lace to match your skin |
2. Prepare Your Natural Hair
Proper preparation of your natural hair is the foundation for successfully laying a closure. Start by braiding your hair into cornrows or flat twists to create a smooth base. If you have short hair, simply slick it back using gel or pomade. Once your hair is flat, put on a wig cap that matches your skin tone to protect your hair and create a scalp-like appearance. If you don’t have a matching cap, you can tint it with foundation or concealer.
3. Customize Your Closure
To achieve a natural look, it’s important to customize your closure. Begin by plucking the hairline to mimic a natural hairline if it appears dense. Use tweezers and carefully remove small amounts of hair to avoid over-plucking. If the lace color doesn’t match your skin tone, apply some foundation or lace tint to blend it with your complexion.
4. Position the Closure
Place the closure on your head and ensure it’s aligned with your natural hairline or slightly behind it, depending on your preference. Use a rat-tail comb to adjust the placement, ensuring the closure lies flat against your scalp. Secure the closure temporarily with hair clips or pins to prevent it from moving during the application process.
5. Apply the Got2b Glued Styling Gel
Squeeze a small amount of Got2b Glued styling gel onto your fingertips or the back of your hand. Carefully apply the gel along the edge of your hairline where the closure will sit. Avoid using too much product, as this can create a messy application. Spread the gel evenly in a thin layer.
For added security, you can follow up with Got2b Freezing Spray. Mist it lightly over the gel. The combination of these two products will create a strong adhesive bond.
6. Lay the Closure
Once the gel has been applied, gently lay the lace closure onto the gel-coated area. Press it down lightly using your fingers or the teeth of a rat-tail comb. Ensure there are no bubbles or folds in the lace. This step is crucial for achieving a seamless and natural-looking finish.
7. Secure and Dry
Use a blow dryer on a cool or medium heat setting to dry the gel and freezing spray. This will help the adhesive set and hold the closure securely in place. Hold the blow dryer a few inches away from your scalp and move it back and forth to avoid overheating one area. Test the lace closure gently to ensure it’s firmly attached before proceeding.
8. Trim Excess Lace
Using small, sharp scissors, carefully trim the excess lace along the hairline. Follow the natural curve of your hairline or the hairline you’ve created by plucking. Take your time to avoid cutting too much or leaving jagged edges. If needed, go back in with some Got2b Glued and press down any areas where the lace may have lifted during trimming.
9. Blend the Closure with Makeup
For a flawless finish, apply makeup to the lace to further blend it with your skin. Use a small brush or sponge to dab foundation or concealer along the hairline and parting. This step helps to create the illusion of a scalp and ensures the lace is undetectable.
10. Style as Desired
Once your closure is securely in place, you can style it to your liking. Use a flat iron, curling wand, or other tools to achieve your desired look. Be gentle around the lace area to avoid loosening the adhesive.
Conclusion
Laying a closure with Got2b Glued is a straightforward process that delivers impressive results when done correctly. By following these steps, you’ll achieve a natural and secure installation that enhances your overall look. Remember, practice makes perfect, so don’t be discouraged if your first attempt isn’t flawless. With time and patience, you’ll master the technique and enjoy the versatility and confidence that a well-laid closure can provide.
