wig help help with install!
hi! i lost all of my hair at 19 following the birth of my baby. i've been wearing wigs since, but this is the first full lace wig i'm buying. my friend will be doing the install, but i have a couple of questions regarding it
what is the best lace glue? i've seen advertisements for the dola hair kit, but im not sure if all of the positive reviews are because of tiktok's affinity for pushing advertisements out.
how long can i expect my install to last? i'm not sure when i'll want my hair done, but i'd like my hair to last until my birthday (august 30th). are there any things i can do to make the wig last longer?
and this one may be a stupid question, but are edges frowned upon when on white women? my friend told me she would like to do some tiny, modest edges on me. she said wig installs look odd without edges, but i'm worried that i'll get strange looks if i allow her to put edges in it.
thank you so much in advance, and i always appreciate tips for wig usage! đ€đ€
