Lace Front Wig and
Lace Wig Cap Design

So you’ve perused the pages about who can wear a lace front wig or full lace wig but you’ve still got some questions about the caps and how it all works on the design front… well look no further, we’ve got this area covered!

How Are Lace Wig Caps Constructed

Other than the main ways listed on the French and Swiss Lace page, the other constructions of caps for lace wigs are as follows:

Cap construction options for Lace Wigs include:

Full Lace with no stretch – you have to measure really carefully as there is absolutely no give on these wigs.
Full Lace with minimum stretch at the ears
Full Lace with ear to ear stretch
Full Lace with top to nape stretch
Full Lace with stretch at the back
Full Lace with stretch at the top
Full Lace with skin top (instead of lace throughout the cap it’s the thin skin instead)
Lace with thin skin around the perimeter
Lace only at the front only

What colour The Lace?

To keep things as light and breathable as possible we’d recommend matching a lace colour to your skin tone and you can find out more about that here.

How Are The Knots Attached?

From our lace types page you’ll have seen how the knots work. The basic elements are that a single knot is used around the front of the lace and is usually bleached so that it doesn’t look like a knot. Double knots tend to be used along the sides and the back of the lace wig.

If you are worried about shedding you can turn your front wig or full lace wig inside out and then seal the knots with a sealant but this isn’t an absolute necessity and it's important not to do it too often as you risk shrinking the cap and damaging the wig. If you are going to use a knot sealer, then be sure not to get any of the sealant onto the hair.

What About Baby Hairs?

Most people will have small thin hairs that occur around the hairline which no matter how hard you try, doesn’t grow to the lengths of the rest of your hair! These are known as baby hairs and ad to the authenticity of the lace frong wig or full lace wig being your own hair and growing out of your scalp.

Whilst you don’t have to have these we would always recommend that you did, simply because it gives a more natural and authentic look, so if you’re after a replacement system that doesn’t attract attention then this is the option for either a lace front wig or full lace wig.
