Wigs, in general, are used by some people to hide bald spots, mostly due to some medical conditions. Other people also wear wigs as a fashion statement or as a means of expressing one’s self.

In lace wigs, the basic rule is that the more lace attached to the front of the wig, the more natural the wig will look. It is from this principle that a lace front wig, in essence, is made of lace running from one side to another along the hairline although there can also be pieces of lace at the nape of the neck. As such, a lace front wig can be worn in a high ponytail without giving away the fact that you are, indeed, wearing a wig.

Lace front wigs are made with a sheer lace base, which can have a size of only a few inches although, at times, the base can also cover half of the front side of the wig. The reason why lace front wigs look natural especially at the front is because the lace used is almost invisible.

To wear a lace front wig, you will only have to use a small amount of adhesive above the head, along your hairline. You can also opt to use bobby pins or clip combs instead of adhesives. The choice will depend on how long you want to wear your wig. Therefore, if you are planning to remove your wig after every use, you can use bobby pins or clip combs. If, however, you want to maximize the hold of the wig on your head, you can use adhesives. If and when you decide to use adhesives, you should, first, make sure that your forehead is free from oil and dirt. That way, the adhesive will adhere much better. You must also be careful about having some of the hair strands glued to the adhesive. Thus, it will be best to tie the hair or hold it up before placing them on your head. But upon using a lace front wig for the first time, you will need to create your hairline. This can be done by cutting small amounts of lace. The most recommended hairline is one where your fingers can fit between it and your eyebrows. An additional adhesive can be place onto the cut hairline to ensure that it stays on your head. Just be sure that no glue, no matter how small an amount, will be visible on your head.

A lace front wig is a cheaper alternative to a full lace wig. But like the full lace wig, a lace front wig is made entirely from human hair, giving it a soft, natural look. There are also lace front wigs that are made from synthetic hair. Such wig types, unfortunately, are more inclined to shred compared to a traditional lace front wig.

The real problem with lace front wigs is that it is quite expensive. In fact, these wigs can cost anywhere from $200 up to a thousand or even more.
