Well get a cup of Chai and relax, we’ve got all the information you need to make sure you choose the right wig for you. So, just what is a synthetic lace front wig? Well, let’s break the term up and explore... Synthetic – relates to the type of hair used not the lace – so the synthetic hair is made of man-made fibres. 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 made with synthetic hair can be worn off the face in a ponytail without anyone realising it’s a wig.
Synthetic Lace Front Wigs… Cost and DurabilityLace front wigs made with synthetic hair are usually the least expensive of all lace wigs. This is because it requires the shortest manufacturing process as the traditional wig ventilation process only takes place at a front and sides. Due to the fibres being synthetic and the ventilation taking part at the front and sides, the price of a lace front wig with synthetic hair depending on where you shop, can be as low as half the price of their human hair lace wig counterparts. A good quality lace front wig made from synthetic hair is likely to start at the £60-£70 mark. Just how long will your synthetic lace front wig last? That depends on how often the wig is worn along with how it’s treated. If you follow the basic guidelines of not using heat styling tools and always detangling from tip to root as seen in our synthetic wig care guide then you can expect your wig to last a few months. Obviously if the wig is used less often it will last longer.
Synthetic Lace Front Wigs… Heat Resistance and ColourSome lace front wigs made with synthetic hair will be heat resistant to around 180 degrees Celsius (that’s 356 in Fahrenheit).

Always read the details carefully to find out whether the synthetic hair on the lace front wig you’re buying is heat resistant as heat damage to synthetic hair is irreparable.
