EVERY THING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LACE WIGS


 

What is a lace wig?
A lace wig is also called “unit”, "cranial hair prosthesis", or a "hair replacement system".  Lace wigs are constructed on a very thin mesh/lace cap. It is constructed to have a very realistic hairline. You can part the wig and it looks very natural. The wig appears as if hair is growing right out of your scalp and hairline. You apply the lace to your skin with lace wig adhesive and the lace vanishes once adhered to your skin. Lace wigs are very versatile, you can wear a high ponytail or up do. 
 
What is the difference between a Full Lace Wig, Lace Front Wig, and Lace Frontal?


-Full Lace Wig:Full Lace Wigs are constructed with the entire cap being lace as well as the perimeter of the wig. Full lace wigs allow you to wear your hair in high up do's and ponytails. When you apply the wig, you will have an undetectable hairline. 
-Lace Front Wig: Lace Front Wig or Front Lace Wig is constructed with lace only in the front of the wig that is 13'4" or 13'6" and 200/300 grams of raw strands. 
 
-Lace Frontal:
A Lace Frontal is a partial piece of lace that is constructed to only adhere to the front hairline and front perimeter of your head. A Frontal is great for women who wish to add fullness to the front hairline. The lace frontal is applied to the front hairline area. 
 
What is density?
Density is how thick or thin you want your hair to be. The standard density is 130% which is considered medium density.


What are bleached knots?
Bleached knots help make the hair appear as if it is growing from the scalp. When hair is tied to the lace, there is a dark knot where the hair is secured. Bleaching or "lightening" the knots reduces the visibility of this knot. On off black (1B) and dark brown hair, the knots are lightened to a light brown shade. Very light brown and blonde and shades usually do not need bleached knots

What is the difference between synthetic hair and human hair?
Human hair is made with hair donated from a person. Synthetic hair is made from man-made fibers. Human hair wigs are more durable and more versatile than synthetic wigs. 

Can I still wear a lace wig even if I have a full head of hair?
Yes, regardless of the amount of hair you have, you will still be able to enjoy a lace wig. You must secure your natural hair as flat as possible. We recommend that you either cornrow your hair going straight back or mold your hair to make it flat as possible.


Can I exercise or swim with my lace wig?
YES, lace wigs are just like your real hair, you can do normal activities with such as exercising, swimming, showering, sweating, etc. We recommend that you do not get your wig wet in the first 24 hours after you apply adhesive. We also recommend that you use Clutch water proof adhesive.
