A woman was left close to tears after going to get a lace wig installed, only for it to turn out as an absolute disaster.

TikTokker @neoentlekim shared a video of herself getting the installation at a local salon. In the clip, the hairdresser is seen sewing the wig cap and the wig onto the woman's - which was the first red flag, as @neoentlekim asked why she was doing so. The hairdresser insists that she knows what she is doing and that @neoentlekim must trust her.

The video goes on to show the unimpressed woman patiently sitting through the disastrous hair experience and with an awful final result, as the installation was a far cry from the stylish hairdo @neoentlekim wanted.

See the video below:

Owner of Lungstar Salon in Durban, Lungi, who specialises in frontal wig making, selling and installing, told Briefly News that there is no need to sew a front wig onto a client's head.

"The method used by the hairstylist in the video is unfamiliar to me. When installing a wig, all you need is to make sure the lace of the wig is cut properly, fit it to the client's head and then apply a good quality glue to the hairline and hold it done using a secure band so that the wig glue sets well. Then you would go on to style the hair as desired," Lungi shared.
