Lace front wigs are the most popular wig type globally, and they have been around since the early 1900s. They were initially made from human hair, which was then attached with a lace cap over the top of the head. This is still one of the best ways to wear lace front wigs today because it allows you to get the exact look of your natural hair without worrying about tangling or pulling the hair out. However, many different lace front wigs are available now, so how do you know what kind will work best for you?

Choosing your lace front wig

The first thing you need to decide is whether you want a full lace front wig or a part lace front wig. Full lace front wigs can be worn all over your head, while a part lace front wig only covers the area where your hair is thinning or missing. If you are looking for something more subtle, a part lace front wig may be better.

The second thing you need to consider is the length of the lace front wig. Lace front wigs come in several lengths, ranging from short to long. Short lace front wigs cover just the forehead and neckline, while more extended lace front wigs go down past the chin. You also can wear a lace front wig with bangs, but this is not recommended if you have any hair loss issues.

The third factor to consider when choosing a lace front wig is the color. Many different colors are available, including blonde, brown, red, black, gray, white, etc. Choosing a color that matches your skin tone is essential because the lace front wig will blend with your hair.

Once you have decided on the type of lace front wig you would like to buy; the next step is to find the right size.

Lace front wig sizes range from small to extra-large.
Smaller sizes tend to be easier to fit and less expensive than larger ones, but you should always try them before buying.

Once you have found the right size, you need to determine what lace front wig style you want. The styles include:

A-Line – This style has a straight line going across the forehead.
Braid – This style has braids running up and down the sides of the head.
Bob – This style has a rounded shape at the back of the head.
Curls – These wigs have curls along the side of the head.

When selecting a lace front wig, check the scalp area carefully. Make sure that the lace does not touch the scalp, or it could irritate. Also, make sure that the lace is tight enough to hold its shape.

How to style lace front wigs for the perfect look

Wash your hair thoroughly. Use a shampoo that contains no sulfates and conditioners that contain lanolin. Avoid using too many heat-styling tools such as flat irons, curling rods, blow dryers, and hot rollers.
Apply a leave-in conditioning treatment to damp hair. Leave-in treatments help keep your hair soft and manageable.
Blow-dry your hair until it is scorched. Do not use a brush to comb through your hair.
After drying your hair, apply a strong-hold hairspray. Spray the entire section of your hair that needs to be covered by the lace front wig. Wait for 10 minutes, and then remove the spray.
Press the lace front wig onto your freshly sprayed hair using an iron. Press firmly so that the lace adheres to your hair. Be careful not to burn yourself.
Once the lace front wig is pressed against your hair, gently pull it away from your head. If you do not have the strength to pull the lace off, ask someone else to help you.
Gently run your fingers over the lace to smooth out any wrinkles.
Let the lace front wig sit overnight. In the morning, rinse the lace front wig thoroughly under cool water. Pat dry with a towel.
Brush your hair to give it body and volume.
Style your hair however you usually wear it.
Finally, add some finishing touches if needed. For example, curl your bangs or create a messy bun.

Lace front wig care tips

Wash your hair with a gentle cleanser once per week. When washing your hair with a lace front wig, avoid using shampoos containing chemicals that can damage the glue used to attach the lace front wig to your hair. Instead, wash your hair with a mild soap. You may also want to use a clarifying shampoo after each wash. Clarifying shampoos are formulated specifically for people who color their hair. They will help to restore the natural shine of your hair.

How to wear a lace front wig

We recommend wearing it several times a week to get the most out of your lace front wig. Try experimenting with different hairstyles and lengths to see which ones work best on you.

If you plan on wearing your lace front wig every day, we suggest applying a leave-in conditioner before you put on your lace front wig. The leave-in conditioner helps moisturize your hair and keeps it looking fresh throughout the day.

If you decide to go without a leave-in conditioner, we recommend using a good quality anti-frizz serum. This product will protect your hair from frizzing while you sleep.

When you first put on your lace front, you might notice that your hair feels stiff. This is normal when you first put on a lace front wig. As time goes on, your hair should become softer and more comfortable.

When you take your lace front wig off at night, try to ensure that your hair does not stick to the adhesive. Use a wide-tooth comb to separate your hair from the adhesive.
