A lot of people try on a wig for the first time and focus only on the color or the style. But here’s the real thing: if the knots look too dark or the part looks too sharp, the wig won’t look natural at all. Even the best wigs can look a little “wiggy” when the knots are dark or the part is not blended well.
The good thing is: you don’t need special skills to fix these things. You don’t need to be a stylist. A few basic tools and a bit of patience are enough. Once you get how the knots and the part work, your human hair wig gets way easier to wear every day. You can switch styles, try new looks, and still keep a natural finish. These tricks can also help you take care of your wig longer, because a well-handled top area keeps the lace and hair strong.

Bleach the Knots for a Softer Look
When we try to figure this out, the first question that comes to mind is: “Can hair pieces be bleached or dyed?”
You can have a stylist dye human hair pieces darker — that’s totally fine.
But we don’t recommend bleaching or lightening them, because it can cause serious damage to the hair.
If you want to go darker, shades like white, platinum blonde, or light gray are the best starting point.
And if you really want to take the risk and try bleaching to lighten the color, we recommend doing a small test on a hidden section first to make sure the hair can handle it.
For a beginner, of course, the above steps may make you want to back out. If you’re worried about mishandling the process, you can also choose our pre-bleached and pre-knotted products. Human hair wigs aren’t cheap, so messing something up while you’re working on them can get expensive fast.

Use the Fake Scalp Method
If you don’t want to bleach knots, the fake scalp trick is a super easy option.This works well for beginners. There’re two methods for you.
The one is just wearing a thin wig cap that is close to your skin color. Put it under your lace front wig. It’s fast, safe, and perfect for daily wear.
The other is to purchase the MUST-HAVE Knots Eraser. After cutting it to the appropriate size, attach it to the hairline area on the inner side of the wig cap. Then put on the wig cap as usual to resolve the issue.

Add A Litter Concealer for Quick Blending
Sometimes the part looks too dark even after bleaching. A simple fix is using a little concealer. Use a small brush and dab a little powder along the part. Pick a shade that’s close to your skin tone. It helps the lace blend in and covers those dark knots. You don’t need much at all, a tiny bit already makes a big change. Just take it slow and add a little at a time so you don’t overdo it.
How To Make the Hair Part Look More Realistic
Use a Hot Comb to Make the Top Lay Flat
A flat top makes every wig look more natural, especially lace front wigs.
Just turn your hot comb to a low heat setting and run it gently over the roots.
This helps the hair sit close to the lace.
Do not stay in one spot for too long.
A few slow passes are enough to smooth the area.
Move the Part Line to Freshen Your Style
Many human hair wigs come with a middle part, but that does not mean you have to keep it that way. You can change the part in a few minutes.
1. Spray a little water on the top area.
2. Use a comb to draw a new part line.
3. Use warm air from a blow dryer or a hot comb to set the part.
A small change like moving the part to the side can make your lace front wig look brand new. It also helps the wig match your face shape better.
What to Watch Out for When Fixing Knots and Creating a Clean Part
Avoid Over-Bleaching
Leaving bleach on too long can make the knots weak. Weak knots shed fast, and shedding can ruin your wig. Always check the knots every few minutes when bleaching.
Be Careful With Heat
Heat tools are helpful, but too much heat can burn the lace or damage the roots. Always start low. If the hair needs more heat, increase slowly.
Do Not Pull the Lace
Lace is thin and delicate. When parting the hair or styling the front, hold the lace gently. Avoid sharp combs that can poke or tear the lace.
Choose the Right Color Products
The concealer plays a big role in blending the lace.
Don’t Overuse Styling Products
Too much gel, spray, or mousse can make the hair stiff or heavy. A stiff top can make the wig look fake. Use just enough product to keep the hair neat.
