1. What is the difference between a Full Lace Wig and a Lace Front Wig?              

A Lace Front Wig has lace around the front of the wig. This part of the wig is trimmed to fit the hairline. The remainder of the cap is made of standard wig cap materials. The quality of Lace Front wigs is the same as Full Lace Wig. Full Lace Wigs have a complete lace cap and may be ordered with lace and other materials. Full Lace Wigs may be ordered with ear-to-ear stretch no PU (most popular), no stretch, and thin skin poly material.

 

2. Can I put the product on myself or should I consult with my stylist?    

Lace Wigs are professional products and are intended for use by individuals trained in the application of such products. You might have a problem locating a stylist with experience in applying Lace Wigs. It is not that difficult to do yourself but getting it right will require time and patience. With practice, you should be able to apply the wig yourself.

 

3. Who can wear these wigs?    

Lace wigs can be worn by anyone-both young and old. Individuals with hereditary hair loss or medical conditions resulting in hair loss might find a Lace Wig a good choice. Like high profile personalities, many people elect to wear Lace Wigs to change their style. Lace Wigs are available in many styles and colors and can be worn without making changes to the natural hair.

 

4. Can you tell that it's a wig?     

A well applied Lace Wig is creates a flawless hairline making it undetectable. The wig is glued to the entire outside perimeter of your head and blend into the natural hairline for an undetectable finish.

 

5. Can I style this wig myself?    

Lace wigs can be styled just like regular hair. You can perm it, dye it, set it, blow dry it, hot curl it, etc. Full Lace Wigs are designed to blend along the hairline - front and back. You can wear your wig in a ponytail or any other updo style. Lace front wigs can be pulled back for off-the-face styles. The back of the wig is made in the traditional cap construction.

 

6. How is the wig designed?       

All of our wigs are hand-crafted using invisible lace. The individual pieces of 100% Indian Remy Hair are then skillfully hand-tied into the lace and double knotted to prevent shedding.

 

7. How is the cap constructed? 

Lace Wigs can be made in several different cap types. Caps with stretch provide flexibility with fitting. Included in the Lace Wig line are wigs made with transparent thin skin material.

 

Cap options for Lace Wigs include:

 

Lace Front Only (Lace in Front Only)

Full Lace with NO STRETCH (Measure carefully - the Lace will not stretch)

Full Lace with Minimum Stretch (a little stretch at the ears)

Full Lace with Ear to Ear Stretch (allows cap to stretch ear to ear)

Full Lace with Top to Nape Stretch (allows cap to stretch from top to nape)

Full Lace w/Thin Skin Top

Lace w/Thin Skin around perimeter

Full Thin Skin Cap

 

 

 

8. What type of lace is used?     

Lace wigs can be ordered in French Lace or Swiss Lace. French lace is more durable and will hold up better over time. The Swiss lace is slightly thinner and more fragile. Most people order the French Lace due to its durability. If applied properly, both caps will give you the undetectable hairline finish you're looking for.

 

9. What color is the lace?             

Most lace wigs are constructed with a freestyle part (can be parted anywhere). The lace allows the color of the natural scalp to come through. For this reason, you should select a Lace color closest to the color of your natural scalp.

 

 

 

10. What is a Knot?         

A Lace Wig knot is the tie that holds the hair to the cap. A simple knot is used mainly around the perimeter or the front of the wig. This allows the wig to blend more easily into the hairline. Double knots are a bit thicker and can be used along the perimeter, top and back of the wig.

 

We recommend you seal the knots to extend the life of the wig and prevent excessive shedding, Use an acrylic sealer. Turn the unit inside out and place the unit on a wig mannequin. Spray the inside of the cap lightly standing 6 to 8 inches away. DO NOT SPRAY SEALER ON THE HAIR. You should not be able to see the spray on your unit. If so, you have used too much. Let the unit dry for 15 to 30 minutes. Make sure the cap is completely dry before removing the unit. Removing the unit too soon may cause the cap to shrink.

 

 

11. What are Bleached Knots?   

In high-quality wigs, each strand of hair is hand-tied into the lace at the base of the cap. When these knots are bleached, they are made lighter and give a more natural scalp color appearance (as though the hairs are growing out of the scalp). The "Bleached Knots" option is highly recommend for darker hair colors.

 

12. What are Baby Hairs?             

Baby hair is the fine hair that grows naturally along the hairline. You may order your custom Lace Wig with or without this option. The fine baby hair along the hairline gives an even more natural look.

 

13. Can this wig be ordered in highlighted colors?            

You may order your wig with or without highlighted colors. The amount of highlight can be selected as an option. The highlight color mix option allows you to select the amount of highlight color in the hair. You will be asked to select a color. The base color is the prominent color. Highlight colors are usually lighter colors. You can order you wig with up to (2) highlight colors.

 

Regular streaked highlights are a blend of 70% base color with 30% streaked highlights. The darker base color is prominent with highlights of color throughout the piece. This color blend works well if you want to keep the darker tones in the hair.

 

Two equally blended colors with one of the colors being a much lighter color will result in an overall change in the color of the hairpiece. Off black and light auburn in equal amounts fully blended will result in a medium auburn color. The off black, though still present, will be difficult to see.

 

 

14. How is the wig applied?        

The lace wig cap is applied with a special adhesive that is safe for human skin, or tape. The adhesive product secures the Lace Wig product along the hairline. The adhesive disappears into the lace front and creates the illusion of hair growing directly out of the scalp. The adhesive is not used directly on the hair. You may also purchase heavy duty adhesives or tape tabs to secure your wigs. These accessories are offered as options.

 

The wigs are fairly easy to attach. If this is your first time using a Lace Wig, we recommend you purchase both the adhesive and remover at the time the wig is purchased.

 

 

15. What type of adhesive is used and where can the adhesive be purchased?  

Specially formulated adhesives are used to bond the hairpiece around the hairline. The adhesive comes in various types. If you want a 1-6 week hold – you will want to purchase the Ultra Hold glue. For a 1-10 day hold and for touch up, Mity Tite is recommended. We offer several types of lace wig adhesives. Select the one that best fits your needs. The adhesive should not be used directly on the hair. Follow applications instructions carefully.

 

 

 

16. How long will the adhesive hold?      

The average hold time is 1-6 weeks. This may vary depending on your skin type - the adhesive will not last as long on oily skin. There are several types of adhesives to choose from. If you exercise regularly or will be swimming in your wig, you would want a more durable adhesive. Maximum hold Ultra Hold provides a 3 to 6 week hold. Myti-Tite is a daily wear adhesive which provide a 2 to 10 day hold. These adhesive would be recommended for touch-ups. C-22 is a general wig adhesive remover that works with nearly all hair adhesives. Lace Release is another good adhesive choice for lace wig adhesive removal.

 

17. Can the wig be worn while swimming and exercising?

When you place it against your own skin, thin skin is invisible and virtually undetectable to touch. When attached, it feels extremely secure and seems to vacuum-seal itself to your scalp. Thin Skin can be requested at the perimeter of the unit. It can be extremely hot, so it is not recommended as the material for a full cap.
