How to Prep Your Skin and Hair Before Applying a Frontal
August 13, 2025
A smooth install starts with proper prep. Here’s how to get your hair and skin ready for a lace frontal install.
Before you melt a lace frontal, you need a clean canvas. Prepping your skin and hair the right way ensures your install lays flat, lasts longer, and protects your natural hair underneath.
Step 1: Wash + Blow-Dry Your Natural Hair
Clean, dry hair is the base of every great install. Don’t skip it!
Step 2: Braid Down or Mold Hair Smoothly
The flatter the base, the more natural the result. Your braids should be neat and tight.
Step 3: Cleanse Your Hairline
Use 70% alcohol to wipe your forehead and remove oil, sweat, or residue. This helps glue adhere better.
Step 4: Use a Skin Protector or Barrier Spray
This protects your skin from irritation and creates a longer-lasting hold.
Step 5: Tint Your Lace if Needed
Use lace tint spray or foundation close to your skin tone to help the lace blend seamlessly.
