It will definitely eliminate that boxy feature of the lace, because not everyone has the same hairline. Customizing it to your preference as well as what looks good on you. The first thing that we will do is to part out that very front section of the frontal and do some slight plucking to it. Depending on the frontal, If it already comes thin so you don’t need to do much plucking, because you don’t want the hairline to start receding, you want to make it look natural but you don’t want to take off too much hair from the frontal. Keep on parting going further and further towards the back, please attention you guys, never over plucking, because there is a line between over plucking and making frontal look natural. If you pluck too much in one spot you will get bald spots, ensure you are plucking and moving in different places. Be gentle, do your best to avoid this bad situation happens. Taking a really good tweezer, this is important, the tweezer must to be really good nice and sharp. If it is dull, you are going to be plucking away for like hour.
