Step 1
There are different types of lace wigs available. A front lace wig has the lace mesh only in the front of the wig, which allows for a very natural looking front hairline. A full lace wig has this mesh over the entire wig, allowing the rest of the hairline to also look natural for certain styles such as a high ponytail or updo. Your choice will depend on the hairstyles you desire.

Step 2
When choosing a full lace or front lace wig, you'll need to choose the type of hair you want. 100% Remy human hair makes the highest quality of wig, but it's also the most expensive. Remy hair means that the hair was cut with great care, and that it is attached to the wig in the same direction that the hair originally grew. There are different textures of hair available, with Chinese Remy hair being thicker and coarser, and Indian Remy hair being silkier. There are also full-lace and front-lace wigs available that contain animal hair, such as yak, angora or horse hair, or a combination of animal and human hair.

Step 3
Another thing to consider when choosing a full lace or front lace wig is whether the hair has been hand-tied or machine-tied to the wig base. The highest quality wigs are made by hand-tying the hair, but this also produces a more expensive wig. An economical option might be a wig that combines these methods, with hand-tied hair in the front and machine-tied hair in the back. A hand-tied front-lace or full-lace wig will style easier and will part in a more natural fashion.

Step 4
Full lace and front lace wigs were traditionally used in show business and the theater. This is because it takes a little more effort to apply a front or full lace hair wig than a traditional wig. It's best to practice this a few times, so that you can achieve a natural-looking hairline. The wig is attached along the hairline with a special adhesive or tape, taking care to keep the adhesive away from your natural hair.
