Step 1
When shopping for a human front lace wig, it's important to remember that the term "human" hair wig often means the wig is made from real hair, but that they are not always 100% human hair. Many wigs actually use at least a percentage of animal hair, such as from horses, yak, sheep or angora, and blend it with human hair. However, there are front-lace wigs that are made from 100% human hair. These are generally a high quality wig, and are more expensive.

Step 2
Another thing to keep in mind when shopping for a human front lace wig is that there are varying types of human hair as well. The ethnic origin of the hair varies, as well as how the hair was handled. There are also differences regarding the quality of the hair, whether it was processed in any way, and consistency of length of the hair used to create the front-lace wig.

Step 3
When shopping for a human front lace wig, one of the terms you will hear used is "Remy hair". This term is used to refer to the highest grade of human hair that front-lace wigs can be made with. This hair is handled with extreme care when it is cut from the donor, and the hair is kept in alignment, so that it can be placed in the wig with the natural hair cuticles all going in the correct direction. This gives the wig a more natural appearance.

Step 4
Wearing a human front lace wig will appear more natural if you choose a type of hair that is similar to your own hair. For instance, Chinese Remy Yaki hair is a great option when trying to match the texture of African American hair, since it resembles the texture of natural African American hair that has been relaxed. On the other hand, Indian Remy hair would produce a front-lace wig which is silkier in texture.

Step 5
Once you understand the terminology of human front lace wigs, you can shop for this type of wig online, or in local shops. You will find a wide variety to choose from online, but some people prefer to shop for front-lace wigs in person, so that they get professional assistance with the measuring and fitting.
