How to Look Natural With a Lace Front Human Hair Wig

A lace front human hair wig has a natural-looking hairline.

A lace front human hair wig can have a very natural look when worn properly. Because of the front lace mesh cap, the wig can be worn a way that lets you style the hair away from your face, revealing a natural-looking front hairline. A high-quality front lace wig is made from human hair, which allows you to style it the same way that you do your natural hair.

Instructions

1. Choose a high-quality, 100 percent human hair wig to ensure that it looks natural. You have a range of quality to choose from when selecting a lace front wig. Even though a wig may be described as "human hair," it doesn't always mean that it's made from 100 percent human hair. Sometimes human hair is combined with animal hair, such as yak, angora or horse hair. A 100 percent human hair front lace wig is generally a high-quality wig, and as such is more expensive.

2. Before you buy a wig, consider the way the hair was handled prior to the making of the wig, as well as how it was attached to the wig cap. The best quality front lace wigs are made from what is called Remy hair, which means the hair was kept in the proper alignment after being cut, and is attached to the wig in the same direction that it originally grew, which looks natural. Hand-tied wigs are also more natural looking than those that have machine-tied hair.

3. Choose a front lace human hair wig that is made of hair that has a similar texture to your own. Chinese Remy hair is thicker and coarser, and can look great on African-American women. Indian Remy hair is silker, and makes a front lace wig that looks great on almost anybody.

4. Apply a front lace human hair wig properly so that it looks natural. You might need to practice this a few times before you get it right. Apply the front edge of the lace mesh to your hairline with adhesive, taking care to create a natural-looking hairline. You can also use makeup to further blend this area and create a more-natural look.

Tips & Warnings

• Although front lace wigs are great, you don't want to damage your own hair when wearing one. Keep the adhesive away from your natural hair to avoid damaging it or pulling it out when removing the wig.
