Although lace front wigs are not really new, they have been used for many years by performers and actors, they have only recently found their way into popular culture. They have been touted as the answer to thinning hair, an easy and unnoticeable solution. They claim to give you the appearance of a thick, full head of hair without the hassle and discomfort of a traditional wig. Lets explore these claims.
Lace front wigs are made out of lace that hair has carefully been pulled through in small groups. Each of these groups of hair is then knotted underneath. Each wig takes a great deal of time and patience to create but it is worth it in the end. What you end up is a hair piece that looks and acts like real hair.
What can you do with it? Almost anything you would do with your own hair. It can be styled, parted, pulled up in a ponytail and, if applied with the correct adhesive, can be worn to swim. Even wet these wigs look like real hair.
There is some debate as to whether these hair pieces are as easy to use as the manufacturers claim they are. They are relatively easy to apply but making them look good may be a bit more difficult. To put on a lace front wig all you need to do is coat the inside of the lace with the adhesive and place the whole thing over your head, covering the hair. Adjust it some to get the desired look and there you go. Now for the harder part. To ensure that the piece is truly invisible it must be carefully integrated with you hair. This is difficult to do by yourself. The front of the wig is easier to cover by simply putting on make up.
Comfort is supposed to be another strong selling point. Of course, nothing is as comfortable as your own hair, but lace front wigs really may be the next best thing in this case. Traditional wigs are made of latex and this makes them heavy and hot. The lace in these wigs is very light and allows your scalp to breathe.
One of the drawbacks of these wigs is how expensive they are. Because of the painstaking way in which they are made, they can cost a great deal. But lately, some manufacturers are now selling lower cost cost synthetic fiber lace front wigs. Like any wig, they have a limited lifespan and require proper care and maintenance.
It seems that lace front wigs are a good option for those who wish to cover thinning hair. However, nothing is perfect and you should carefully consider all of your options before making the investment.
