What is a lace front wig?
A lace wig/ a lace frontal wig is a hairpiece designed by meshing/tying synthetic, human, or semi-human hair onto a sheer lace all over the scalp. Because it has a base, it is lightweight, well-fitting, and more natural-looking than other wigs.
This is because it gives the illusion of the hair from the wig growing from the scalp. This makes these wigs a little more high-valued and a bit more expensive due to their attention to detail. However, you can get a cost-friendly lace front if you opt for a synthetic piece rather than the premium short human hair wigs one.
The good news is that anyone can wear a lace front depending on the quality, type, color, volume, and length. It is, however, advisable to go for the human hair pieces so they can last longer and the installation is more flawless.
Since it is more or less like a cap on your head, a great lace front needs a wig glue or adhesive to hold it in place should you need to wear it for longer. Having the right lace glue ensures that you have a few weeks of wearing it before the bond weakens from sweat, dirt, build-up, and even pulling.
What are the benefits of wearing a lace front wig?
Since the hair is compacted onto a lace that allows for easy parting, you can play around with your wig, owning every style with grace. The best part is that when you get the hang of styling your wigs, even ponytails can be so easy to achieve.
Having the option of taking out your wig or keeping it on is an added advantage. We advise that you take off your wig as you sleep at night to allow your hair to breathe.
The fact that your hair is hidden away from constant manipulation, and the elements, is very advantageous. Ensure that you have braids installed to help keep your hair as flat as possible, use a wig cap to help secure your wig and help with breathability, then install your wig.
What should you do to prepare and care for your hair under a lace front wig?
Ensure that your hair is thoroughly cleansed, deep conditioned, moisturized, and sealed. Keep in mind that there is no hair protection if it's dry and needy. This is also the part you braid it down, making sure that they are not too tight to avoid traction alopecia.
Since your hair is going to be covered, for the most part, ensure that it is not wet during the installation. This is because, the musty conditions under your wig may lead to the growth of bacteria, mold, mildew, and even fungal infections.
In conclusion.
Although most people can wear a lace front without using any bond, chances are it might fly right off at the slightest provocation. If you are uncomfortable using glue or adhesive and would like the option of taking out your wig every other night, then good headband wigs should give you all the options you're looking for.
