Scar tape, sica tape, or silicone tape is often sold in rolls or strips and can be purchased from drug stores or Amazon. Start with a 2-3” long section and use sharp scissors to round off the corners.
Without scar tape, lace tops wigs may look unnatural becasue you can see your bio hair or wig cap underneath the lace.
Peel the scar tape from its protective backing to expose the sticky side. This will stick to the inside of the wig cap later.

#WhatWig??
If your scar tape still doesn’t look quite right try moving the scar tape forward or back and move your wig forward or back. The scar tape should sit just behind the hairline so that it is obscured by the hairline. The scar tape should also like up with your skin and bio hairline so that it starts just before your bio hairline. This means the wig hairline will sit just a cm in front of your own hairline. The scar tape is moveable and reuseable, so play around with it until it looks right!
