Lace front is a technology that has revolutionized wigs, toppers, and hair replacement systems for both women and men. But what exactly is a “lace front,” and why do so many stylists and wearers love them? In this article, we will explore the lace front technology and how it’s applied in wigs, toppers, and hair replacement systems.
What Is a Lace Front?
What is a lace front? Simple, as its name suggests, it is a piece of lace at the front: a thin lace material attached to the front of a wig or a hair system. It is usually a piece of French or Swiss lace that’s so thin and delicate, and blends seamlessly with the wearer’s scalp when attached.
Individual synthetic fibers or human hairs are then hand-tied to the lace, and their knots are usually bleached from the underside. So that when the wig or hair system is attached, it will create an exceptionally natural-looking hairline, as if the hair is growing directly from the scalp.
Wigs
Lace front wigs are mostly used by female wearers for full-head coverage. If you or your client is experiencing total hair loss or wants a complete hairstyle transformation, lace front wigs are an ideal option.
