Guide To Buying And Wearing Full Lace Wigs

By April Briggs


People who have lost their hair due to illness or simply desire a new look, including many celebrities, choose to adorn themselves with natural-looking wigs. Lace wigs feature a thin mesh "lace" cap is worn close to the scalp along the natural hairline to appear as though the hair is actually growing from the head and are a popular choice for the wide range of styles and versatility they offer.

Most of these wigs are made from 100 percent human hair, so they can be styled the same as one's own hair and do not look fake. A full lace wig is one which fully covers the scalp and can be worn up or down and parted wherever the user wants. Other designs such as the lace frontal and lace front wig are made with lace in the front only and are worn mainly to create a look of improved fullness at the front.

If the wig is well maintained, this will improve its durability and how long it lasts which can be for several years with proper care. When adhesives are used, the wig may be worn for as long as two or three weeks before it will need to be reapplied. Those without natural hair, have better adhesion and can typically wear the wig longer.

Wig caps come in several colors, which should be chosen according to the wearer's natural skintone along the hairline, not the whole body. Transparent is best suited for those with a light complexion, beige is ideal for medium to tan skintone, and light or dark brown is appropriate for those with a darker color skin.

The type of hair the wig is made from can vary in terms of texture, weight, thickness, and sheen. Some are more easily dyed another color if desired or styled than others. The Chinese remy style is the thickest and best for dying and styling, while the Indian remy offers fine, silky, sleekness, and Malaysian and Mongolian remy styles provide thickness and shine and matte waviness respectively.

Any wig will look better if it is applied correctly. The best way to ensure a proper fit is to wear a wig cap or style one's natural hair very close to the scalp such as cornrow braids. The excess lace will need to be trimmed to achieve a good fit along the hairline, and it must be well secured with combs and glue. If a more natural hairline is desired, simply pulling a few strands or baby hairs through from the natural hair underneath can produce this effect.

In terms of caring for the wig, it's important to purchase a stand for it to sit on when it is not being worn so it will hold its shape and continue to look its best. Washing must be done using two spray bottles, fill both with water and add shampoo to one and conditioner to the other. Spray with the shampoo mixture, comb through, rinse, and do the same with the conditioner, pat dry and allow to air out on a wig stand.

Human hair wigs can be safely styled using curlers, straighteners, curling irons, and blow dryers just like any other natural hair. If sleeping in the wig, wrap head in a protective scarf and use a satin pillowcase.
