A lace wig or a lace front wig is a special type of hairpiece or wig in which human hair is tied by hand to a sheer lace base which goes over the scalp.

Lace front wigs are very comfortable and simple to wear. They are lightweight and will allow your scalp to breathe, which makes them much nicer to wear than other wig constructions – especially during warmer months.

What is the advantage of a lace front wig?

1. There is no stress on your natural hair underneath the wig

One of the drawbacks of my sewin obsession was the fact that sometimes the stylist would sew in the hair too tight, and it would cause stress on my natural hair underneath, and sometimes breakage. With lace front wigs, there is no stress, and if it is too tight, you can simply adjust the straps, or take it off!

2. More Realistic

Lacefront wigs have a sheer lace that is scalp colored and easily blends with your scalp. Depending on the wig, people may even mistake it for your real hair, because it is just that believable.

3. Up High or Down Low

One of the reasons I prefer lace front wigs*, as opposed to other wigs is because of the fact that I can wear the wig* in a high pony or even a low pony if I want, and it will still look natural.

4. Quick, Fast, and Easy

Lace front wigs are easy to apply, and it takes all of 5 minutes or less to cut the lace to your desired length.
