Front Lace Wigs

For anybody who is enduring hair loss due to an illness, the results of chemotherapy radiation treatments, or even for no apparent reason, a front lace wig can add realistic-looking hair to their head. This type of wig, stunningly, can look and feel like real hair if it is of high quality and if it is put on correctly. The only real issue with this type of wig is that it cannot hold up to daily wear and tear as well as a wig made of synthetic fibers.

Made of Human Hair

These wigs are extremely delicate and not something that can take much abuse. In most cases, it is made of natural human hair, and the wig is put together by hand. Hand-making the wig helps to ensure that each strand of hair is put in correctly and perfectly, which is part of what makes these types of wigs look so realistic.

The person who makes this type of wig, commonly called a “wigmaker,” can spend hours on any one wig. The placement of hairs on these wigs are sometimes so perfect that the wigmaker will even add delicate baby hair to the edges of the wig so that it looks incredibly realistic.

The hair used to make a front lace wig is selected so that it matches the wig user’s hair as completely as possible. This type of wig can be styled, but it must be handled in a very careful manner so that the hair is not pulled out or the lace does not become damaged. Assuming the hair in the wig is human hair and not a synthetic fiber, it can also be styled with a curling iron, a blow dryer, and a ceramic flat iron.

Securing a Wig on the Head

There are a few different ways that a front lace wig can be secured to a person’s head. Depending on whether or not the person has a significant amount of hair in the location where the wig will be placed, different tools can be used. A few methods of attaching a wig are to use adhesive tape designed for this specific purpose, a wig-specific liquid adhesive, or clips that are designed to hold the hair on the wig to the person’s naturally growing hair. The best method will depend on whether or not the person is completely bald or if there is existing hair that can be used as an anchor.

Front Lace Wigs Are Expensive

One of the reasons that celebrities use front lace wigs is to give the appearance of long and thick hair, and this is a type of wig that is very natural looking and hardly detectable. These two characteristics, however, make it a very expensive type of wig to purchase. In fact, most of them cost over a thousand dollars. However, because it is undoubtedly the most realistic and natural looking wig available, it may be worth the cost.
