Natural hairline

So I've purchased a very affordable wig ($99 off ebay) as my first to test out. The hair is very pretty and natural looking. I'm quite pleased with it and it doesn't feel as uncomfortable as I thought. The only thing that doesn't look natural is the hairline. I've seen tutorials online where one can use a tweezer to pull out more hair - has anyone tried this?

Regardless of how much I pull out though, I still see the obvious lace net. How do other people not see the lace? Do more expensive wigs not show the lace? I have a black wig cap so maybe a nude one will look more like skin?

Appreciating any tips, thanks in advance!

You may be seeing the net because the net is too dark or too light for your skin tone. What you can do is dust some of your makeup powder on the lace to match your skin tone. You can also use a knee-high stocking as a cap that matches your skin tone instead of using an actual wig cap. HTH!

You're welcome! If you're using tape, you may want to get the no-shine/low-shine tape from Supertape. HTH!
