What is a lace front or lace front wig?

When most people think of “lace”, they think of a delicate material of fabric, made with a spider-like appearance to create an intricate pattern that It is typically used to make clothing and fabric decoration, such as curtains.

In the world of wigs, the experts at Concept Hair Systems indicate, the term "lace" refers to a fine, sheer mesh to which the hair is tied individually. A wig labeled "front lace" means that a piece of pure lace mesh is located on the front of the wig cap.

The hairs are individually tied by hand to the lace front piece to create a more natural look. Lace front wigs can be combed away from the face because the hairline is almost invisible and the scalp can be seen through the mesh. You can also pull the wig hair back or tuck it behind the ears without showing the wig cap. This gives it versatility and a very realistic look.

A lace front wig can also contain other types of construction elements like a monofilament top, a hand-tied cap, a no hood style, or be a classic machine-made cap. Because lace front or lace front wigs offer such a natural-looking hair line, many wig wearers want a cap that combines a lace front with monofilament, or a hand-tied cap for the most realistic look with the greatest versatility, as these types of caps also allow the hair to separate in multiple directions.

Lace front wigs should be worn on the natural hairline.

Place the front of the wig cap on your forehead and slide the wig back over your head. Once you have your wig, you can adjust the placement of your wig to give it a better look.

Pulling or stretching the cord can cause it to tear, so be careful when adjusting your wig and always use the ear muffs or the side areas of the cap to grab the wig when you put it on.

Lace front wigs can be washed with wig shampoo like any other wig. Just make sure you don't grab the wig by the lace or rub the lace roughly when washing it.

Do not put conditioner on the front of the lace as this can cause the hairs to come loose. Wig styling products can be used, but when styling a lace front wig, we highly recommend using a wide tooth wig comb. This type of comb will be the softest for hair and the least prone to pulling individual hair out of the front of the lace or damaging the lace.
