Glueless Lace Front Wigs -
Lace Wigs That Don't Need Adhesives

Glueless lace front wigs are lace wig caps that can be worn without the use of adhesives and are often referred to as "glueless" which isn't a word... Here at TCPG, we  understand that "glueless" cannot be found the Oxford dictionary; and wigs that come with caps impregnated with glue also don't exist; and that although tape exists, the phrase "tapeless lace wigs"  hasn't suddenly appeared... but it's the term du jour, so we'll use it here - until the revolution for sensible lace wig cap terms is underway...yay!

Glueless lace front wigs are made with lace at the front and the rest of the cap contains variations of the following:

  • open wefts, closed wefts or stretch lace (hand tied hair, no  wefts)
  • adjustable straps at the back or whole perimeter
  • clips or combs (or both) that can be located at the back, crown, sides (sometimes on tabs located near the ears)
    *alternatively there may not be any clips or combs

The adjustable straps can reduce the overall circumference by up to four centimetres (approximately 1.5 inches) so if your measurements are slightly smaller than the standard 22.5 inch lace wig cap, then you'll be able to adjust it to make it smaller.

The glueless lace front wig is one of the easiest lace wig cap constructions to use and is a great option for those who are new to wearing lace front wigs as well as being popular with those who have been wearing them for some time.

If you're totally new to lace wigs and don't want to go for the standard lace front wig that uses adhesive; or if you're allergic to adhesives or solvents (or just want to take a break from using them) then a glueless lace front wig cap is a great cap choice.

As there is no lace at the top of  the ears, it means that the hair cannot be worn in a high up-do as the edge of the cap would show – however our top tip is to simply go for the chic tousled (or loose) ponytail so that some of the hair is covering the areas without lace.

Adhesive is not used for the non-lace perimeter – this does not make the wig less secure as the back secured by the adjustable straps at the back that start from just behind the ears (where the lace stops) reach round to the nape of the neck.

As lace is typically at the front (unless you opt for 360 glueless lace wigs) it means that the hair cannot be worn in a high up-do as perimeter would lift up . However the TCPG top tip is to go for the fashionably tousled (or loose) ponytail so that some of the hair covers the hairline front of the lace wig is not pulled upward or backwards.

It's easy to be confused by all the options for your choice of lace wig cap construction, especially if you don't know if you need (or even want) the full box-set of accessories.
