By following this guide, you will learn how to get a lace hair wig, and how by choosing a hairpiece which has a lace front, you will be able to have more styling options than with a traditional wig.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    When shopping for a lace hair wig, it's important to understand how this type of hairpiece is constructed, and how to choose a wig with a laced front that is a good match for your hair type, styling requirements, and lifestyle. Basically, these types of wigs have a light lace mesh cap, either in the front or as a full lace cap. If you want to wear your hair pulled up in a high ponytail, you will need a full lace wig. If you simply want to be able to pull your hair back from your forehead and wear your hair down in the back, you can go with a front lace wig.

  2. Step 2

    A lace hair wig differs from traditional types of wigs in that they are made on a base of fine lace mesh material. This type of wig hairpiece either has a laced front, or an all-over laced cap. The finest lace hair wigs have the hair hand-tied onto this base cap, which gives a very realistic appearance, and offers more styling options than a traditional wig. They provide a very realistic looking hairline, which makes them more difficult to detect as a wig.

  3. Step 3

    There are a number of ways you can purchase a lace hair wig. There are many sites online that sell this type of wig hairpiece. This can provide a wide selection from which to choose. You can also purchase a wig with a laced front or full lace wig from a local retailer. If this is the case, you will have some assistance with proper measuring, and will be able to try the wigs out first before purchasing.

  4. Step 4

    When choosing a lace hair wig, you'll need to choose one that has a hair density and type of hair that looks good on you. Wigs with a lower density of hair often look more natural than those with a high density. Whether choosing a full lace or laced front hairpiece, choosing a texture of hair that would be similar to your natural hair will provide the most realistic look.

Tips & Warnings
  • A hand-tied lace hair wig looks very realistic, but it is also more expensive than a semi-hand-tied or machine-tied wig.
