Quick answer

For a seamless wig install with the Kiss Colors & Care Melt & Match Bundle, start by tinting the lace with the Medium Dark Brown Lace Tinting Spray, then apply the Extreme Hold Lace Bond Adhesive Spray in thin layers. Press and melt the lace with a elastic band or scarf for at least 10 minutes. This bundle gives you both tint and hold in one purchase, so you can focus on technique rather than sourcing separate products.

Prep your hair and wig before tinting

Before you spray anything, braid or flatten your natural hair into a low-profile base. If your hair is bulky, the wig will sit higher and the lace won't melt as flat. Put on a wig cap and trim any excess lace from the front of your wig, leaving about 1/8 inch beyond the hairline. Wipe the lace with a dry cloth to remove any dust or oils.

Tint the lace for a natural match

The Medium Dark Brown Lace Tinting Spray in the Melt & Match Bundle is designed to blend lace with deeper skin tones or to add dimension under bright lighting. Hold the can 6–8 inches from the lace and spray in short bursts, building coverage gradually. One light pass is often enough for a subtle tint; two passes can work for a more opaque finish. Let it dry completely before handling—usually 2–3 minutes. If you have a very light complexion, test on a small section of lace first, as this shade may be too dark for some skin tones.

Apply the extreme hold adhesive in thin layers

Shake the Extreme Hold Lace Bond Adhesive Spray well. Starting at the center of your hairline, spray a thin, even layer along the lace edge. Wait 30–60 seconds for the adhesive to become tacky, then press the lace into your skin with a clean finger or the back of a comb. Repeat with a second thin layer if you need extra hold for oily skin or high humidity. Avoid spraying directly onto your natural hair—use a shield or your hand to block overspray.

Step-by-step wig install with Melt & Match

  1. 1. Braid and cap your hair: Braid your natural hair flat against your scalp and secure a wig cap. Trim the excess lace from your wig, leaving a small border. Checkpoint: Your base should be as flat as possible—if you feel bumps, re-braid before continuing.
  2. 2. Tint the lace with the Medium Dark Brown spray: Spray the tinting spray in short bursts from 6–8 inches away, building coverage in thin layers. Let it dry fully. Common mistake: Spraying too close or too much at once can cause drips and an uneven tint.
  3. 3. Apply the Extreme Hold adhesive spray: Spray a thin layer along your hairline, wait for it to get tacky, then press the lace down. Add a second layer only if needed. Checkpoint: The adhesive should feel sticky, not wet—if it's still wet, wait another 30 seconds.
  4. 4. Melt the lace with a scarf or band: Wrap a elastic band or silk scarf around your hairline and leave it on for at least 10 minutes to melt the lace into your skin. Common mistake: Skipping the melt time—rushing this step leads to lifting edges.
  5. 5. Style and check the blend: Remove the scarf and style your wig as desired. Look at the hairline in natural light to confirm the lace is undetectable. Next step: If you see lifting, press the area with a warm (not hot) blow dryer for a few seconds.
