Lace Front Wig FAQsFrequently Asked Questions About Lace Front Wigs What is a Lace Front Wig? A lace wig, also called a lace "unit", "hair system" or "cranial hair prosthetic", are hair extensions that create the illusion that hair is growing out of one's scalp, and therefore is one of the most natural looking extensions on the market. This is achieved by the method of the lace wig construction. A fine lace material is used as the base where individual hairs are meticulously hand tied onto the lace. The term 'full lace' denotes that the base cap is made fully of lace, while 'lace front' wigs have lace in front and different materials at the back of the cap. The hair on all of our Beverly Johnson and Estetica Designs lace wigs is hand-tied.
Who wears these wigs? How do lace wigs differ from "regular" wigs? The main advantage of the full lace wig over other wigs is that you can wear your hair in up dos, ponytails, and other styles that expose one's nape area. Traditional wigs usually preclude these styling options. Lace wigs are also more lightweight and comfortable than traditional wigs due to the minimization of tension on the scalp. They do not bunch up at the crown because they are made to the natural contours of one’s head. Can I apply and maintain the wig myself? Do I need to have any special styling skills to apply? Though there is somewhat of a learning curve for perfecting your application, you do not need to have the skills of a licensed cosmetologist to benefit from these extensions. Our wigs come with instructions for application. Of course, if you so desire, you seek out the services of a stylist who specializes in lace wig applications also. Can I wear lace wigs if I have a full head of hair? Absolutely! You can braid/cornrow, twist, wrap, or flatten hair to prepare for application. The main objective is to get your hair as flat as possible for the most natural look. Is it really undetectable? Once applied correctly our Beverly Johnson and Estetica Designs wigs are, indeed, very undetectable. Your admirers may not even believe you if you told them that you were wearing a wig! Can I wear different textures and colors than my own? Absolutely! Once you apply beyond your natural hairline, you can go from long to short or from curly to straight. The choice is up to you. Do I have to use adhesives to wear my wig? No- the bobby pin method will work just fine also (using bobby pins to attach wig to your own hair). The wigs we sell also have clip combs attached to them together with an adjustable strap or a full stretch cap. It really will depend on your circumstances and lifestyle. Some clients like to remove their wigs on a daily basis and find that pinning it down is convenient even though it allows for less styling options. Others may want to maximize the length of hold and their styling options by applying the wig on their heads' full perimeter with adhesives. The best adhesive for you will depend on your body's chemistry. Please note that Splurgeville does not stock full lace wigs. We only stock front lace wigs. Can I wear the wig behind my hairline? Yes, many of our clients do- especially ones with smaller foreheads who cannot afford the room to apply the wig in front of their natural hairline. You can clip it behind your hairline, but we do not recommend using glue behind your natural hairline. How long will my wig last? The life of your wig will depend on your use and care of it. If handled properly, it should last you about 6 months before needing hair added or a repair. If used as your main form of hair replacement and you are using daily, it is realistic to expect it to last 3-6 months before needing a repair or hair added. How long can I wear my wig at a time? Your extended wear will depend on what adhesives you use, your body chemistry and how your skin responds to the adhesives, and how frequently you wish to re-apply. We stress that it is important for you to be mindful of your hair and scalp condition underneath during extended wear. Most clients achieve a 1-4 week hold with the right adhesive, washing and nurturing their own hair in between applications. If you are bald or have significant hair loss, you are likely to achieve a much longer hold. Can I swim in it or play sports? Yes, you can exercise in your wig if you apply with an adhesive that works with your body chemistry and can withstand this type of activity. We recommend trying out an adhesive before that vacation to make sure that it is working out right for you! Can the hair be flat ironed or curled? We stock both synthetic and human hair lace front wigs. You can wash, set, and style the wig as you would your own hair. But like your natural hair, the hair can get damaged with the misuse and overuse of products. Can I dye the hair? The technical answer is yes if you buy a human hair wig, but we do not recommend any further processing of the hair if it has already been dyed and processed. Further, only experienced colourists should attempt to colour the hair. Remember that though the hair is 100% human hair, it is just as prone to damage from excessive processing as your own hair. We cannot and will not be responsible for the results. Can I wear my lace wig in a high ponytail? Yes, you can wear your wig in a high ponytail once you apply around your full perimeter with adhesives. You will need a cap construction that is made with lace around the perimeter. This only applies to full lace wigs and not the front lace wigs that we stock at Splurgeville. |
