How to Choose, Apply, and Wear Lace Wigs
Lace wigs offer an incredible amount of versatility and can drastically change your look, address hair loss or even just provide more confidence. However, the lace material can be delicate and requires proper care and maintenance to ensure longevity. We’ve rounded up the best tips and tricks for choosing, applying, and wearing your new lace front wig, so you can be confident with its natural appearance and styling flexibility.
1. Know Your Options
Lace front wigs are made with a small section of lace at the front, while the rest of the wig cap is usually crafted from more sturdy materials for durability and comfort. The hair strands are then hand-tied into the lace section to create a realistic, seamless, and flexible hairline, with the illusion of strands that seem to emerge from your scalp. These wigs are ideal for looks that pull the hair back off the face, including updos and half-up hairstyles.
2. Consider Your Budget
The biggest benefit of a full lace wig is its realism and styling flexibility. Since the lace base is undetectable, it allows you to part your hair anywhere you like and even wear a sleek high ponytail without anyone guessing it’s not your own hair. It’s important to note, however, that a human hair full lace wig is significantly more expensive than a synthetic one.
A synthetic full lace wig is also more affordable and can be styled with heat-based tools, so it’s a great option if you want the look of a full lace wig but don’t have the budget for a human hair one. However, the quality of a synthetic full lace wig will be much less than that of a human hair one, and it may not last as long.…
