Benefits of Lace Front Wigs

People may choose to wear wigs for many reasons, from hair loss to the sheer excitement of trying out different hair colours and styles. At Simply Wigs, we are big believers that finding the perfect wig brings confidence to our customers, but we understand that the vast range of choices available can be overwhelming. To make your search a little easier, this blog post tells you all you need to know about the marvellous benefits of lace front wigs!


What Is a Lace Front Wig?

The clue is in the name! Lace front hair wigs use a sheer lace addition to imitate a soft, natural hairline for the wig wearer instead of a sudden, abrupt hairline. Lace front wigs are perfect for people who might be anxious about wearing a wig for the first time, for fear of it looking too bold or unnatural. Instead, lace front wigs offer a solution that melts into the natural hairline. As such, they have been revolutionary in the wig landscape over recent years and are now so popular that celebrities such as Beyoncé and Tyra Banks regularly sport them for events and productions.

How Are Lace Front Wigs Made?

Lace front wigs are made by securing a small, flesh-coloured lace mesh panel to the front of the wig cap and then hand-knotting fine hairs through the holes of the lace so they can move freely like natural hair. This lace panel blends in with the skin so all you can see is the wispy baby hairs at the front. The rest of the wig cap is made from a stronger, more durable material as lace can be susceptible to tearing and wouldn’t make for a strong full cap. Any excess lace from the panel is trimmed down to follow the shape of the natural hairline with the small sewn hairs emulating ‘baby hairs’ on the hairline.

Benefits of Lace Front Wigs

Natural-looking cap construction

When wearing a lace front wig, one of the biggest advantages is the illusion of hair growing from a natural hairline. Due to how natural the wig looks, it’s nearly impossible to tell that wearers are wearing a wig at all! In a lace front wig, the natural impression it portrays is a great confidence booster for those experiencing hair loss. Lace front wigs are great at disguising an unnatural boundary between your wig and skin, making it perfect for those also looking for new hairstyles to explore.

Breathable for daily use

Lace front wigs tend to be more lightweight and comfortable than many other wig cap constructions, particularly during hot weather, or when wearing a wig for a prolonged period of time when it can get uncomfortable if your scalp becomes warm and begins to sweat. As the lace is so sheer, your scalp can breathe more easily in a lace front wig.

Ease of application

Here at Simply Wigs, we offer a range of pre-cut wigs so that they are ready to wear. Alternatively, we also offer uncut and partly cut wigs, allowing you the option of being in charge of your own beautiful hairstyle. If it’s your first time wearing this style of wig and you need to know how to put a lace front wig on, please read our guide for all our expert tips.

Varied styling options

One of the other benefits of lace front wigs is their versatility when it comes to styling. There’s no lace at the nape of the neck; there is only the wig edge, which provides your wig with volume. A volumized wig can be a priority for some women, giving the impression of healthy, blow-dried hair.

Many of our ladies find a lace front wig is more natural-looking when the wig doesn’t have a fringe. This is because the wig and skin are merged, creating a natural-looking hairline, providing you with more confidence to explore styling options. Equally, you can sweep away the fringe of any of our front lace wigs without running the risk of revealing the wig edge.

Finding the perfect wig can be a difficult task, especially if this is your first wig and you’re not quite sure what you’re looking for. At Simply Wigs, you can browse our extensive range of ladies’ wigs to find the perfect wig for you!

  2. The only disadvantage of a lace front is the slight scratchiness . I do agree that they are wonderful for looking natural but sometimes , specially on hot weather , they can feel
    itchy .
