A lace wig, also called a lace unit, hair system or cranial hair prosthetic, are hair extensions that create the illusion that hair is growing out of one's scalp, and therefore is one of the most natural looking extensions on the market. A fine lace material is used as the base where individual hairs are meticulously hand tied onto the lace. All of our wigs are meticulously made by experienced wigmakers securing one or more hair strands at a time to the base. This knotting technique creates a multi-directional hairstyling, with a natural hair flow. This careful construction can take anywhere from 40 to 80 hours depending on the hair and base materials used. Our customer service mirrors this meticulous attention to detail.
There are typically two types of lace materials used to make the base cap- Swiss and French lace. Swiss lace is very fine and delicate and is the most undetectable choice. Though French lace is not as undetectable (but also a suitable choice), its advantage is that it is more durable over time.
The term ' full lace wigs' are completely hand-tied on a base cap is made fully of lace, while ' lace front wigs' wigs are hand-tied in front to lace in the front, and machine made with wefts on the back of the cap. Our silk top wigs feature a skin-tek(™) insert that mimics your scalp and creates a very natural appearance.
Some people wear lace wigs and frontals out of a necessity due to medical conditions that bring about hair loss (such as alopecia).

Q: HOW DO LACE FRONT WIGS DIFFER FROM "REGULAR" WIGS?
The main advantage of the full lace wig over other styles is that one can wear their hair in up dos, ponytails, and other styles that expose one's nape area. Traditional wigs usually preclude these styling options. Lace wigs are also more lightweight and comfortable than traditional wigs due to the minimization of tension on the scalp.
