5 Signs Your Frontal Was Installed Incorrectly
August 13, 2025
Worried your lace frontal isn’t sitting right? Here are five clear signs of a poor install—and how to fix it
A high-quality frontal deserves a flawless install. But even with the best hair, one wrong move can ruin the look. If your lace isn’t giving scalp, here are 5 signs something went wrong:
❌ 1. The Lace Isn’t Laying Flat
If it’s lifting near the ears or forehead, the adhesive wasn’t applied properly.
❌ 2. The Knots Are Too Visible
Bleaching knots takes skill. If they’re orange or patchy, it can kill the illusion.
❌ 3. Harsh or Uneven Baby Hairs
Baby hairs should enhance—not distract. Over-plucked edges or thick swoops signal an amateur job.
❌ 4. Bumpy Install or Loose Tracks
A secure braid base matters. If your frontal is sitting high or shifting, it wasn’t anchored correctly.
❌ 5. No Parting or “Scalp” Look
A frontal should allow parting space and look like skin. If you see a thick grid—run.
💡 Fix It: Choose a professional who specializes in HD lace installs. And always prep your skin properly before application.
