What are lace front wigs?

Lace Front Wigs are a wig that looks like your natural hair but with a lace front. The lace front has open spaces in between each strand of hair follicles. You separate your hair strands from the top (with the help of water and conditioner) and then tape them away from your head with clear medical tape.

What is a lace front wig made of?

Lace Front Wigs are made of a blend of synthetic and human hair. The blend is then bound to the lace front using an adhesive to be secured tightly to the lace. The lace is lightweight and stiff (about 400 yards per strand) with fibers that resemble human hair.

Types of Lace Front Wigs

The Best Way to Wash a Lace Front Wig

The best way to wash a lace front wig is to use mild shampoo and conditioner that does not contain any harmful chemicals or alcohol. You can also use baby shampoo and conditioner, a very gentle formula that will not damage your wig.

• Use a small amount of non-scented baby shampoo on a bath towel to first wipe off any dirt or oil from your hair.
• Use a wide-toothed comb or hair pick to comb through your wig hairs from root to tip gently.
• Then apply a good amount of baby shampoo to your hair, but do not rinse off the shampoo yet.
• Next, use your fingers to massage the conditioner into the wig’s scalp. Do not rinse yet.
• Apply a hair conditioner made for synthetic wigs and spray it onto your wig strands to make them soft and silky smooth.
• Finally, rinse out the shampoo and conditioner and let your wig dry naturally.

 How to Style a Lace Front Wig

• Begin by combing the hair down and parting it in the back a few inches away from your face.
• Apply baby shampoo to the strands at the scalp and work through them, making sure they are all coated in shampoo.
• To make your wig look even more natural, apply highlights and lowlights at the top of your head and near the roots.
• Gather all of your hair into a ponytail and secure it with a rubber band.
• Wet the rest of the hairs so that they can be easily separated from one another. Separate each hair strand individually by pulling them apart, starting at the bottom of the wig.
• Once all of your hairs are separated, apply conditioner to the scalp and spread it through the entire wig.
• Use a small amount of hair spray to hold each strand in place.
• Allow the wig to air dry naturally, and then remove your rubber band and shake out your hair.

How long can my lace front wigs last?

The lace front wig is a very sturdy, long-lasting piece of hair. If you treat it well, it can last for years, so think about how you’ll care for it.

• When washing the lace front wig, make sure you thoroughly clean it and avoid using any harsh chemicals or alcohol-based products.
• You can use a blow dryer on the lowest setting to speed up the drying process but do not ever use any curling irons or hair straighteners on your lace front wig.
• The comb is your enemy, so don’t brush it aggressively or even too gently. Over brushing can flatten the hairs and cause them to break off; under brushing will create static electricity and make them stick together.

Conclusion

Lace front wigs are a great way to experiment with different hair lengths, colors, and textures. Whatever you have in mind, there is probably a lace front wig that will meet your needs.
