What is a lace wig?
Lace wigs are made with a mesh-like lace material in the front, around the edges or all over in which individual hair strands are hand-tied. The lace is designed to blend in with your own scalp creating a natural, realistic looking hairline. When properly worn, with special adhesives, the hairline can be so realistic looking and virtually undetectable, giving the appearance of natural growing hair. These are the same wigs that many celebrities wear. Lace Front wigs have lace only in the front, creating a realistic and natural looking hairline. Full Lace wigs contain lace throughout or around the entire base making it possible to wear your unit in a ponytail and creating a realistic and natural looking hairline around the entire unit. For added comfort, we do recommend stretch lace in the back. If you order a full lace unit, the base cannot stretch to accommodate your growing hair.
A lace wig, also called a lace “unit”, “hair system” or “cranial hair prosthetic”, are hair extensions that create the illusion that hair is growing out of one’s scalp, and therefore is one of the most natural looking extensions on the market. A fine lace material is used as the base where individual hairs are meticulously hand tied onto the lace. The term ‘full lace’ denotes that the base cap is made fully of lace, while ‘lace front’ wigs have lace in front and different materials at the back of the cap. One is also able to purchase a ‘lace frontal’ hair piece that can be used with weaving wefts. With this arrangement, the wefts are glued or sewn into one’s hair and the lace frontal applied only at the hairline.
