Lace Front Wigs

For a truly natural hairline with style!

For those looking for a natural-looking hairstyle, lace front wigs are an attractive option. They offer a realistic look and feel that is hard to achieve with other types of wigs. The lace material makes it appear like the hairs are growing right out of your scalp, making it much more convincing than other types of wigs. Furthermore, their versatility means that you can style it in any way you like, whether you're looking for a classic bob for example or something more dramatic. 

Unlike other types of wigs, they are created with a sheer lace base that fits on the scalp, and each strand hand-tied to the base creating a natural effect. 

Another benefit of a lace front is that they are very safe to wear over your own hair and do not cause breakage or loss even when wearing frequently. 

They also improve breathability, making them more comfortable for extended periods. 

Additionally, they allow for easier styling and flexibility than basic wig caps, as the parting can be moved or changed. 

Finally, they can either be sewn-in or bonded, allowing for even more versatility.

How do they differ from standard wigs?

  • Lace front wigs provide women with an improved more natural-looking hairline that covers the entire head from ear to ear. 

  • Lace fronts are transparent at the front of the wig enabling them to blend into the hairline and scalp.

  • Non-lace front wigs do not feature any wigs lace at all, including the parting, and usually feature either sewn-in or scalp partings.


Full Lace Front v Lace Front

The main differences between lace front wigs and full lace front wigs are their materials and constructions. 

Lace front wigs have a small part of lace, while the bases for full lace fronts are entirely made of lace. 

The lace material covers the entire wig, and the hair is hand sewn in.

A full lace wig also tends to be thinner than a lace front & so they have less volume. 

A Lace front wig will usually be less expensive than a full lace wig but will also  be less versatile as they only cover part of the wig.

Are lace front wigs available in both synthetic and human hair?

Yes, lace front wigs come in both human and synthetic hair. 

Human hair offers a realistic look, texture and feel, as it is real and can be coloured, curled, or straightened. However, they are more expensive than synthetic hair and require more upkeep, and can be harder to style. 

Synthetic wigs are cheaper and easier to maintain than human hair wigs as they come pre-styled and hold their shape after washing. They are also heat resistant, so you can curl or straighten them without damaging the hair. However, synthetic wigs can't be colored and may not look as natural as a human hair wig. 

Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference and what works best for you.
