About Lace Wigs

Why choose Lace Wigs?

Lace wigs represent the latest technology for non-surgical hair replacement in the world today. A lace front wig when designed and constructed properly will be the closest thing to your own real hair, or can replace the hair you never had. It is the most natural, most beautiful, hair replacement system imaginable today. It is made out of real human hair and hand tied into a very sheer lace base one single hair at a time. It should look so natural that it can be virtually undetectable to anyone, even at a distance of only a few inches away. You can wear it for weeks at a time without removing it. You can comb your hair straight back, part it in the middle or even go swimming with it. There are no limitations to your look or lifestyle. You can shower, sleep, perm, wash or do anything you would normally do. You can finally have the hair you always dreamed about!

What is a lace wig? 

The  lace wig is very unique. I's built on a very sheer lace cap, and the key feature is that at the hairline, and when parted, a lace wig looks incredibly natural, as if the hair is growing right out of the scalp. This is not your traditional wig. It's much better and unbelievable natural!

What are full lace wigs and lace front wigs?

The term 'full lace' denotes that the base cap is made lace throughout or around the entire base making it possible to wear your unit in a ponytail and creating a realistic and natural looking hairline around the entire unit. , while 'lace front' wigs have lace in front and different materials at the back of the cap. You still get the completely natural look with the front lace but you can't wear a high ponytail at back. One is also able to purchase a 'lace frontal' hair piece that can be used with weaving wefts. With this arrangement, the wefts are glued or sewn into one's hair and the lace frontal applied only at the hairline.

Lace Front Wigs vs. Full Lace Wigs. What is the difference?

Lace Front wigs have lace only in the front, creating a realistic and natural looking hairline. Full Lace wigs contain lace throughout or around the entire base making it possible to wear your unit in a ponytail and creating a realistic and natural looking hairline around the entire unit. A full lace wig is capable of being parted anywhere on the scalp. And you still get the completely natural look but with the front lace. But you can't wear a high ponytail for the lace front wig.

What are the differences between Swiss lace and French lace?

Swiss lace is thinner lace material than the French lace and it is more invisible than French lace. You cannot see it when attaching it to your skin. It is most invisible, very light and natural. It is also durable in strength.

French lace is extremely durable. But it is not as invisible as the Swiss lace.

How long will my lace wig last?

The life span of your unit is based on your maintenance. A lace wig unit can last for many months or even years depending on your usage and upkeep. With proper care, your lace wig can last a long time. French Lace is the most durable and lasts longer than the Swiss Lace.

What is remy hair?

Remy hair is a superior human hair grade that is collected from a hair donor. The cuticle layer of the hair remains in tack, therefore the hair is silky soft with a subtle wave pattern. The hair is then hand-tied to a wig in the same direction as it is on a human head. The look of the wig is very natural, easy to manage and does not tangle.

What color lace is best suited to my skin tone?

The color of lace depends on a lot of factors. First and foremost, the best applications are usually camouflaged by makeup at the hairline and where the hair is parted. This is truly how you get a natural appearance because even though lace blends with the skin, certain lighting conditions can show the lace.

Most women prefer to get a lace close to their skin tone, this is the best option if you don't want to experiment with using makeup (concealer) to camouflage the lace, then it's best to select a shade that blends with your skin tone. If you plan to use makeup, then you should select a shade close to, or lighter than, your own.

What are bleached knots?

Bleached knots is currently to best method of making the hair appear as if it is growing from your scalp. If you do not have bleached knots you will see a dark dot on the skin, however, bleached knots does not mean the knot is totally bleached out. Usually the knots are just a shade lighter than the rest of the hair. If the knots are single knots at the hairline you do not need to bleach the knots, dabbing foundation based powder on the knots with a brush; bleached or not helps hide them as well.

We recommend using knot sealer to seal your knots on the underside of your wig. Just flip your wig inside out and be sure to protect the remaining hair with a plastic bag. Spray a light spray of knot sealer on the knots of lace wig cap.

How much lace do I cut off before I apply my wig?

All new lace wigs have a strip of bare lace at the front or around the perimeter that needs to be trimmed away. Use sharp hair scissors to trim the lace away, HOWEVER, make sure to leave a 1/8" – 1/4" (see below for a guide) strip of bare lace ahead of the actual hairline.  Having the bare lace in front means that if the lace begins to fray a little, you will not lose hair at the hairline. When it is attached, that small strip of lace disappears against your skin.The following diagram is approximatly 1 inch, not exact, but this will give you an idea of how much lace to leave around the perimeter: 

                    However, some people cut off all the lace to the hairline.

How do I wash my lace wig?

First, place unit on waterproof wig stand. Apply pre-shampoo on dry hair, work in gently, rinse with warm water, then apply mild shampoo. When applying shampoo keep wig stand in upright position, while gently working shampoo in. Do not bunch hair up while lathering and avoid circular motions, which can cause tangling of the hair. Comb hair gently with fingertips. Rinse hair thoroughly and follow with a deep or daily conditioner, applying the same way. Let stand, for 2-3 minutes to moisturize and condition. You can gently comb hair with a wide tooth comb to remove any tangles. Rinse conditioner out completely , pat hair dry and apply maintenance spray for an all day protection. After washing, try to remove as much water as possible by squeezing the hair with your fingers. Allow wig to completely air dry on a dry towel or wire stand. Once wig is dry, style as usual. Note: for synthetic wigs, DO NOT apply heat or place near a heated source, including in the sun!!

Can I wear my lace wig in a ponytail?

Yes, simply request Fine French lace, Swiss lace or thin skin all around the perimeter of the unit

What is the best cap design for me?

Each person has their own specific design needs based on their life-style and how undetectable they want their unit to be. The finer the lace, the less detectable however the less durable, especially with daily adhesives. Thin Skin is less detectable to the eye but a bit more detectable to touch than lace.
