Lace Front Wigs

Lace wigs and lace front wigs were originally only found in the theatre, the silver screen or on those who had the connections to have one made for them. Lace wigs and lace front wigs are very popular now. Lace wigs and lace front wigs have recently been seen on the streets since the popularity of some well seen celebrities who openly wear the full lace wigs and lace front wigs.

The lace wigs is made of French lace or Swiss lace in several sections and the wig producer will take darts in the lace to make the material contour the head and because of this it is possible to get a glove tight fit for the wig wearer. During the process of tailoring the wig base the wig producer will take into effect the finished hair style to be sure that the lace is place so the hair can be ventilated / tied into the base going in the correct direction for the finished style.

This is especially important in the wig cap of top and frontal area. This is where the hair must flow naturally and the way the lace is configured hair direction will be affected if the lace is not placed correctly. Once the cap is finished the wig producer can now begin ventilating the hair into the base. This is done with a hooked ventilating needle that can be gauged to pick up as many hairs as needed for a section of the wig. This allows for volume without having to fill in quite so many holes in the lace. Usually, the wig producer will start at the nape area and work up on the back of the wig followed by the sides and then working on the top. Once the wig producer gets to the top and front area, usually, they will switch their ventilating needle to only pick up one hair for each knot. This allows the wig producer to make very small tight knots that are virtually impossible to be seen. The real art for the wig producer is of course the frontal area. The single hair knots, placement and hair direction has to look and move like natural hair and should not be noticeable to the eye. Once a lace wigs is completed, dressed or styled and placed on the head a small amount of lace adhesive is placed on the skin where the edge of the lace will sit, allowed to get tacky and then the lace is pressed into the adhesive where it disappears into the skin. Once the adhesive is completely dry normal daily make up can be applied and the wearer is ready to go.
