Lace wigs fall into 3 general groups: Full Lace wigs, Front Lace wigs and Whole Lace wigs.
Lace from ear to ear on the front of the hairline.
Front Lace wigs have
lace at the forehead extending from ear to ear. Therefore Front Lace
wigs cannot be pulled in a high pony tail unlike Full Lace Wigs. Front
lace wigs will give you a natural hairline in the front. This means the
hair can be parted anywhere throughout the front of the unit. This cap
style only has to be glued down or taped in the front and is ideal for
women that never want to wear their hair in up-dos or high ponytails or
have hair thinning or other medical conditions. The construction of the
crown is made of tracks just like a regular wig. It is usually
accompanied with two combs on the front and one on the back. Two
adjustable straps with hooks on the back ensure a secure fit.
Lace on front and rear.
Full Lace wigs by
some manufacturers come with lace on the front (ear to ear) and on the
back which allows them to be put in a high ponytail. There is no lace on
the crown. Some full lace wigs (custom made) have lace all over which
does not allow them to be one size fits all and thus require to be
custom made.The construction of the middle section is made of
tracks just like a regular wig. It is usually accompanied with two
combs on the front and one on the back. Two adjustable straps with hooks
on the back ensure a secure fit.
Lace all over.
Whole lace wigs offer parting anywhere. The lace is all over. Usually the lace on the front
and back is Swiss or French and the lace on the crown is mesh lace. The
construction of these wigs is very lightweight, stretchable. They are
usually handmade which means the strands of hair are manually tied to
the lace. The mesh lace allows for the hair to be parted any where, is
breathable and light weight. These wigs still have combs and adjustable
straps with hooks for secure fit.
