First, cover up any areas that you don;t want to get the spray on, such as the lace that will be against your skin or along your part. (You can use a tissue for the lace front and the handle of a thin makeup brush along the part.) Then, spray the temporary root cover-up in short bursts along the part or near the wig hair that sits on your temples/sides.
For nearly all human wig modifications I recommend sending your wig to an expert
