The Lure of
Lace Wigs!
First things first, lace wigs are great! Lace front wigs provide a solution to the question wig wearers often ask: How can I wear my wig in an up-do or ponytail without revealing the hair line…? OK I’m probably getting ahead of myself, so let’s start at the beginning.
What Are Lace Front Wigs These are wigs that they
don't use the traditional style of cap
that resemble stockings (that tend to itch and get hot), they have caps constructed from lace...
French lace or Swiss lace to be more precise.
Individual strands of hair are sewn into the lace and the lace goes beyond the hair line of the main wig, as well as this, many wigs have fine “baby” hairs around the hairline of the wig which
cover the lace that’s adhered to your head;
so it looks just like a natural hairline. Now, since a picture can paint a thousand words, have a look at the images below to get a sense of what all of this means.
As the lace is so fine and individual hair strands are knotted to the lace, when the wig is worn, it appears that the hair is growing right out of the wearer’s head; It’s this illusion of authenticity that I really love about lace wigs. You get to choose things
like how thick the hair is and where it's parted
so that you can match it to your growth hair for an undetectable look. The versatility of these wigs doesn't end there, with you being able to choose the textures that you feel best suit you. These wigs are an incredibly discreet solution for those who have lost part or all their hair. These Perukes also provide a great solution for those who are having difficulty in growing their hair or as I term it, have an “uneasy relationship” with their own hair.
Lace? What Lace? The nylon lace used in these wigs can either be French or Swiss, the latter being the more fragile lace due to its weave pattern but both are undetectable to the naked once placed on the skin.To ensure the lace isn't detected, not only is it sheer but the lace also comes in different shades to suit the most palest and darkest of skin tones and everything in between... "Hmmm, but how does the wig stay on your head?" We hear you ask. Ah well that would be by the use of
specifically formulated wig adhesives
that don't damage your hair or skin.
Are Lace Wigs A New Fad? The short answer is no. These types of wigs have been used by theatres and the television industry for decades, it was only in the last five to ten years that they moved from that arena into the world of singers, models and presenters alike... The great news is that
lace wigs can be worn by anyone.
Due to their discreet nature, lace front wigs are becoming more and more popular with general Peruke wearers, however because of the labour intensive nature of the wigs – each wig is hand sewn not machine sewn and each knot from each strand of hair is bleached to ensure it cannot be seen – these wigs are priced higher than non-lace wigs. The good news is that lace front wigs can last for up to a year if cared for properly, so they can be quite a good investment.
Human Hair Wigs or Synthetic Wigs?
The $64 million dollar question, up until now, lace Perukes have come mainly in four versions of Remy hair, Indian, Chinese, Brazilian and European.However a few of us in the know have cottoned on to the
new trend of synthetic lace front wigs.
This means all the benefits of the lace cap with all the benefits of synthetic materials – you’ll find these at our forth coming store and you can

Or perhaps you might be keen on finding out more
about synthetic lace front wigs
these are wigs with lace at the front and sides, with wefts or other material at the crown and the back.
The last thing to mention here is that you can wear lace wigs in the same way non-wig wearers wear their ordinary hair. The versatility of full lace wigs enables you to wear your lace Peruke in a high ponytail or even cornrows with the lace undetected and if that wasn’t enough, this also means that when you wear it down, you can part the hair in anyway you choose… Now can you see why people are hooked on these wigs!
