What is a…

…Lace Front Wig.

I think a hint of what it is is in the name…The front section of the wig is made of lace then the rest of the wig is machine made as usual.

Why is the front part made of lace? Well the hair in the lace is normally pulled through by hand and also knotted to the laced by hand. When the wig is attached to the head it looks as if the hair is growing out of your scalp. It looks really authentic. Honest. I’ve worn them myself (see  below)

Lace Front Wig

Yes I look a little stiff and the smile is forced. That’s what happens when someone has made me have my photo taken. ….I’m not one for having my photo taken, as you can see.

Lace wigs come in all different styles. An example is the that the Lace Front Wig that I’m wearing in the photo is human hair and the lace is a medium brown colour. This wig costs about £150. There are also Lace Front Wigs that are made from synthetic fibres which can start from around £70.

Below is a photo of the cap construction so that you have a good idea of how this works.

Lace Front Wig

I bet you’re wondering what the heck do you do with that bit of extra lace flapping around at the front. First I would put the wig on to see where it looked the most natural and where that is in location to me hairline. Then I would cut it back to where that place. Yep, that’s right. Get a pair of scissors and cut the lace back a small section at a time so that you can correct any mistakes.

Please don’t do what I did and cut big swathes of lace off then release to late that you have cut to much…

I’ve seen articles that say “This celebrity is wearing a Lace Front” and I’m sure some do. Just like Beyonce in this picture. Why do I think that she’s wearing a Lace Front Wig? Well the main reason is that the fall and the fact that she’s only pulled back the hair at the front makes me believe it’s a lace front…..

Lace Front Wigs are one of my favourite wigs. These wigs are also suitable for anyone who suffers from hair loss, such as Alopecia and Chemo, as it looks as if your hair is growing naturally!
