What You Want
- Linen knives that are very sharp

Get rid of any lint or dust in your job area. To keep the lace from getting caught, put down a soft cloth. Cutlery won’t slip if your hands are dry. Do not rush and give yourself time to work. It is easier to see your cuts and avoid making mistakes when everything is neat and put away.
Cut carefully
- Cut out little bits
- Close the laces
- Choose the right way to angle scissors
- Continue to pay attention
Cut just a little at a time as you follow your guide dot by dot. So, it doesn’t catch and tear, pull the lace tight. Cut the threads away from the scissor’s blades. Keep your eyes on the edge and move slowly. Stop often to check it. Protecting the fine hairs and keeping the line smooth is what this method does.
Get some good light and take one last look at the lace that has been cut. As for getting a clean edge, use tweezers to remove any extra bits. If you want a smooth fit, gently blend the lace into your skin. Your wigs will look like real hair when they are done standing close to your head. To keep tiny fibers safe and get a clean edge, follow clear steps and use the right tools. For a perfect, realistic finish, work slowly and check often.
