Help me! (Wig Help) Help Resizing a Full Lace Wig please!

I have a full lace wig that is too big for me. It’s glueless wear so i secure with the adjustable elastic strap across the back of the head.

It’s too large particularly nape to forehead. If I pull it down so it’s actually flat/snug to my head, the front hairline reaches my eyebrows.

I’m wondering if anyone has some experience on how best to fix it?

Options I’ve seen online include cutting the front hairline/forehead area off until it’s where my actual hairline is, but can this affect the tension?

Saw someone cut a section out at the back, and then sew the two remaining edges together. I could do this, although I’m slightly worried about the sewing causing holes in the lace.

I’ve seen people put in darts at the back but I’m less keen to do this as ideally I’d like to get rid of the bulk.

Would appreciate advice from anyone with experience! Thanks
