Lace Cap Wigs...
The Lace Front Wig Guide

You’ll have seen from our main page that lace cap wigs have many different constructions, here we’ll look at the construction of the lace front wig in more detail.

Lace front – this means that the lace in the wig is located only at the front of the wig. The top (crown) and back of the wig will have a different cap construction such as wefts, or a stretch material

The few inches of lace at the front and sides, allows for the wearer to part the hair in any direction and maintain an undetectable natural hairline.

This means that the lace front wig can be worn off the face in a ponytail without anyone realising it’s a wig.

This means if you compare all human hair lace wigs, the least expensive is usually the lace front wigs. If you were to look at all the types of synthetic lace wigs, then lace front wigs would be the least expensive.

Put simply; a lace front wig will cost less than a full lace wig made with the same type of hair. This is because it requires the shortest manufacturing process as the traditional wig ventilation process only takes place at a front and sides.

Just how long will your lace front wig last?

That depends on how often the wig is worn along with how it’s treated. If the wig is used less often it will last longer.

If you follow the basic guidelines of not using heat styling tools and always detangling from tip to root as seen in our wig care guide then you can expect your wig to last a few months.

If you're buying a lace front wig with synthetic hairalways read the details carefully to find out whether the synthetic hair on the lace front wig is heat resistant as heat damage to synthetic hair is irreparable.

Lace cap wigs that only have lace at the front will generally be the most affordable in a hair type range and if you’re new to the world of lace cap wigs, a lace front wig is probably the best place to start.

The disadvantage of lace front wigs is that they cannot be worn in a high pony tail due to the lack of lace at the back of the wig. If what you’re after is a wig that you can teat like real (human) hair and wear in high ponytails or an “updo” then the best thing to do is buy a full lace wig.
