What is the difference between a lace front and a full lace wig?
A lace front wig has adjustable straps or stretch material in the back, and therefore cannot be worn in a high ponytail with the back showing. While the full lace wig is lace all around, and can be worn up in a high ponytail. Both wigs can be parted anywhere, anyhow, and both offer a natural look.
Well a full lace wig means the cap is made entirely of lace, either French or Swiss lace, and allows you to style the wig as if it was your own. I.e…updo’s, high ponytails, parted down the middle and even corn rolls. With the lace front the cap is 50% lace in the front and usually some other materiel in the back. The lace front has limited styling ability only allowing you to style the front and putting a low lying ponytail at the nape of your neck.
A lace front wig has lace on the front perimeter , and does not extend around to the back of the wig. Thus a lace front cannot be worn in a high ponytail that exposes the back, or parted at the back where the scalp would be visible. A full lace wig has lace throughout, can be worn in a high ponytail, and parted throughout the unit for a natural scalp appearance. However, both wigs can be parted at the scalp, which may offer a natural look.
