Lace Front Wigs

What is the difference between a lace front wig and a regular wig?

The main difference between a lace front wig and a regular wig is the structure of the hairline. A lace front wig features a clear lace panel at the front, with each hair strand tied to it by hand, creating a realistic hairline that mimics natural hair growth. Regular wigs, on the other hand, usually have a solid cap structure without a lace front, which results in a less natural look, especially around the hairline. This makes lace front wigs more flexible in styling, especially for hairstyles that reveal the hairline.

If you choose to swim with a lace front wig, it is recommended to wear a swim cap to protect it and to thoroughly rinse and condition the wig after swimming to remove any harmful chemicals or salts.
