Instructions

Repair:
Turn Your lace wig inside out, place on a manikin head.
Take a small needle and some nylon thread to repair the tare. If you've lost a lot of netting you will have to make a patch to fill in the area.
For this you can use, a similar net fabric that you can purchase from the fabric store. You can also cut a small piece of your neutral or flesh color pantyhose and sew it in just to fill in what you have lost now using tiny stitches sew it in place to replace what was lost and lock stitch it in with a few small knots and cut.

Now start filling in the thin areas in the front on the lace wig:

The First thing that you must do is:
(If your right handed) Hold the needle in your right hand insert the needle through the hole and come back up through another hole.

Next, Grab the hair in your other hand and hold in a loop. Put the hair near the needle and with the hook pull the loop through just about 1/2 inch or less.

Then once the loop is through the hole then with the needle still in place slide the needle down and again with the hook go back and grab the ends of the hair by winding the needle around the hair a couple of times and pull it through the hole to secure!
