You may have successfully put on your lace front wig, but you don't know how to take off the unit. It's critical to remove your wig in a safe and gentle way to minimize damage to your natural hair. Here in this post, we are pleased to share with you 5 easy and quick ways to remove a lace front wig, including how to remove lace wig glue without remover.
How to take off a lace front wig with glue remover?
If your scalp isn't sensitive to glue remover, using a wig-specific solvent or adhesive remover to loosen the glue or tape is the most convenient choice to remove a lace front wig.
- Begin by preparing the area where you will be removing the wig. Make sure you have a clean, flat surface to work on, and gather any necessary tools such as a wig stand, wig cap, and wig glue remover.
- Next, gently remove any tangles or knots in the wig hair to make it easier to remove.
- Depending on the type of glue remover you are using, you may need to apply it directly to the glued areas of the wig. You may also need to soak a cotton ball or pad in the remover and then apply it to the wig.
- Once the glue remover has been applied, gently massage it into the glued areas of the wig to help loosen the adhesive.
- After a few minutes, you should be able to gently lift the wig off your head. If the wig is still sticking in some places, you may need to apply more glue remover and repeat the process.
- Once the wig is completely removed, carefully wipe away any excess glue remover with a clean cloth.
- Finally, place the wig on a wig stand or hang it up to air dry and remove any remaining glue. Be sure to follow the instructions on the glue remover to ensure it is properly removed and the wig is not damaged.
Be mindful that it's imperative to be gentle when removing the wig to avoid damaging the lace or the hair.
How to remove a lace front wig with conditioner?
If you don't have a specific glue remover for a lace front wig, you can opt for a conditioner as an alternative.
- Begin by wetting the lace front wig with lukewarm water. Be sure to fully saturate the lace front area and the rest of the wig.
- Apply a generous amount of conditioner to the wet wig, focusing on the lace front area. Gently massage the conditioner into the wig, working it through the hair and onto the scalp.
- Leave the conditioner on the wig for 5-10 minutes to allow it to penetrate the hair and loosen any adhesive.
- Rinse the wig thoroughly with lukewarm water, making sure to remove all of the conditioners.
- Gently pull on the lace front area to loosen any adhesive that may still be present. Be careful not to tug or pull too hard, as this could damage the wig or the lace.
- If there is still adhesive present, you can apply a small amount of wig adhesive remover to a cotton swab and gently dab it onto the adhesive. Allow it to sit for a few minutes before gently rubbing it off with your fingertips.
- Once all of the adhesives have been removed, rinse the wig thoroughly with cold water to remove any residue and close the cuticles of the hair.
- Gently pat the wig dry with a clean towel and allow it to air dry before styling as desired.
How to remove a lace front wig with natural oil?
- First, brush out any tangles or knots in the wig to make it easier to remove.

- Use your fingers to gently loosen and lift the wig off your scalp, starting at the hairline and working your way back.
- If the wig is still attached in certain areas, apply more oil as needed to help loosen it.

- Use mild soap and water to wash Vaseline off your skin and the wig.
- Dry the wig and store it properly for future use.
