Spray water on your hair to flatten it down, before you put the wrap on your head. And yep, having wider tape makes it easier.

When I made my first template, I made the front to resemble a CC contour at the front, which looks like this,

It makes the days, when I want to use tape instead of glue at the hairline, easier. Because you can get tape at precut sizes.

It's better to have the template a little big than too small, as with swiss/french lace, you can cut it to size.

Don't give up, it takes practice.
