What Is A Full Lace Wig?
Full Lace wigs are hair replacement systems that when worn correctly give the illusion that the hair from the wig is actually growing from the wearer’s own scalp thus making it look very natural. Full lace wigs are completely hand made by skilled lace wig ventilators via a process in which the wig hair is individually hand tied to a French or Swiss lace mesh base over the entire area of the wig. Because each strand is hand tied it allows the hair to be completely free flowing and the wig can be parted in any direction from front to back. In addition, the hair on the wig can even be pulled up for up-do hairstyles. Full lace wigs can be custom made to your individual head measurements. You secure the wig to your head by using special wig adhesive which can be in either liquid or tape form. When secured properly the wigs can be worn for weeks without removing them.
Who Can Wear A Full Lace Wig?
Full lace wigs can be worn by virtually anyone regardless of whether you have a full head of hair or are completely bald. Most models and many celebrities wear full lace wigs including: Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, Tyra Banks, Gwen Stephani, Halle Berry and many more. These wigs are a great alternative to surgical hair replacement which can be very tedious and very expensive which is why they are extremely popular among individuals who suffer from hair loss whether it be from medically related reasons such as alopecia or chemotherapy or simply hereditary.
Not All Full Lace Wigs Are Created Equal
The process of making a lace wig is very tedious and takes many hours. Top quality human hair is a must if you want to pull off a natural look. Do not confuse authentic full lace wigs purchased from wig shops that specialize in this specific type of wig with those that are popping up in the local beauty supply stores. The beauty supply store lace wigs tend to be very non-natural in appearance because, in most cases, they are not full lace wigs but instead have a small section in the front that is hand tied and the rest of the wig is machine made with hair wefts that have been sewn on. These wigs are not free flowing, do not offer much parting versatility and cannot be worn in up-do styles. In addition, 95% of these wigs are not 100% human hair even though they may be advertised as so, and they are made using a cheap lace that does not melt into the skin like real French/Swiss lace does making it impossible to achieve the invisible hairline look. This is why these wigs are so cheaply priced in comparison to an authentic full lace wig. Bottom line…if you want an undetectable, natural looking wig that offers maximum styling versatility then you want to spend the extra money to purchase an authentic full lace wig from a reputable lace wig shop…most likely you will save money in the long run because you will not have to replace your wig as often.
