Some Frequently Asked Questions on Lace Wigs

Some of the Frequently Asked Questions on these Wigs

- What do you mean by a lace wig?

A lace wig is a handmade wig made using a special technique called ventilation. Not everybody can make this kind of wigs. Only skilled people with experience in making wigs can create this type of wigs. A special fabric material called the lace material is used for this purpose. This lace material acts as the base and is treated as the scalp while creating the wig. Individual hair strands are then stitched onto this base material one by one.

- What are the different types available?

A lace wig comes in four main different types namely the German lace, French lace, Swiss lace and the Korean one. The Swiss lace and French lace types are the most sought-after types because it is not very easy to detect their presence on the head. There are machine-made wigs available too which use lace as the base material. But, they would not be as good as the man-made ones. There are synthetic lace front wigs available too. The lace fronts differ from the full lace ones in the way that they cover the top part of the forehead while the full lace ones go back without falling on the forehead.

- How is a lace wig better than a regular wig?

It is nearly impossible to find out if a person is wearing wig in case of the lace wig. However, it is very easy to detect the presence of a regular wig on a person's head even from some distance. This defeats the whole purpose of wearing a wig. One can even have special hairstyles such as the ponytail style with a lace wig. Such hairstyles are not possible with the regular ones. The adhesives used to bond a wig to the head are high quality and are resistant to water. The adhesives used for regular wigs are usually low-quality and would come off easily. A wig is available in more varieties than a regular wig.
