Wigs, especially lace wigs, are often expensive and require careful handling. If the cap of your lace wig tears, it’s possible to repair it yourself, saving you the cost of professional repairs.
Learning to fix tears ensures you can extend the lifespan of your wig significantly without needing to send it away for repairs.
Tools Needed
Repairing a torn wig cap requires minimal tools: a needle, clear thread, and your wig. Clear lace thread, available at craft stores, is ideal for stitching and repairing the cap.
Assessing the Tear
First, turn the wig inside out and place it on a Styrofoam head. Inspect the tear to assess its size and determine the best repair method. Smaller tears are easier to mend on your own, while larger tears may require professional repair services.
Stitching the Tear
Thread the needle with clear thread and carefully stitch over the tear to bring the torn parts together. Ensure you sew through only a small portion of the wig cap to avoid bunching up the lace.
This DIY approach allows you to maintain and extend the life of your lace wig effectively.
