What is a Lace Front Wig?

A lace front wig is one of the most popular types of wigs because it gives a realistic, natural-looking hairline — making it almost impossible to tell you’re wearing a wig. 

Here’s a breakdown of what it is and why people love it:

👑 What Is a Lace Front Wig?

A lace front wig has a lace mesh panel at the front of the wig, usually from ear to ear. Individual hair strands are hand-tied onto this lace, creating the appearance that hair is growing directly from your scalp.

The rest of the wig cap is usually made of a sturdier material with wefts sewn in for volume and durability.

💡 How It Works

When applied correctly, the lace blends seamlessly with your skin. You can part the hair anywhere along the lace area and style it freely, giving you versatile looks — from middle parts to side parts, ponytails, or half-up styles.

🌸 Key Features

  • Natural Hairline: The lace mimics real skin and scalp.

  • Styling Versatility: You can part the wig in multiple directions.

  • Breathable: The lace front allows air circulation for comfort.

  • Lightweight Fit: Feels more natural and less bulky than full-cap wigs.

✨ Types of Lace Front Wigs

  1. 13x4 Lace Front Wig: 13 inches across (ear to ear) and 4 inches back — offers a deep parting space.

  2. 13x6 Lace Front Wig: Similar but extends 6 inches back — for an even more natural look.

  3. 360 Lace Wig: Lace goes all around the perimeter for updos and ponytails.

💧 Installation Options

  • Glue/Adhesive Method: For long-lasting wear (up to 1–2 weeks).

🌟 Why Choose a Lace Front Wig?

  • Great for protective styling — it shields your natural hair.
