Wigging Out: Top Lace Wig Hair Brands

Lace front wigs and full lace wigs are a hot commodity now-a-days because of they are convinient, stylish and can be more cost-effective than regular wigs and weaves.

The Lace Wig Trend: How it All Started ...

Lace wigs were popularized by entertainers and celebrities on film and TV sets in the early 90s due to its ease in wear and technological sophistication, that it brings. Soon, lace wigs became less of a "prop" and more of a trend when celebrities and entertainers began using them as a comfortable and quick way to switch up their style with minimal preparation and application.

Once coveted by the highest of the high high stars, lace wigs are now available for the everyday consumer to wear with style and ease.

Celebrities from Selena Gomez, to Meagan Goode, Beyonce, Tyra Banks, Jessica Alba, Megan Fox, Trina, Naomi Campbell, Paris Hilton and Raquel Welch, are just a few that have now popularized the lace wig trend.

So What Are Lace Wigs?

Lace wigs have mesh material composed of either Swiss or French lace that is attached to the frontal perimeter of the wig. The mesh lace is created to give the wearer an artificial hair line, one that blends in with the wearer's natural skin complexion. The lace wig can be bonded to the perimeter of the forehead by way of an adhesive - be it lace wig glue or be it an adhesive tape - so that it may securely stay in place for extended periods of wear.

The advantages in choosing lace wigs over regular wigs and weaves is that lace gives the wearer a natural hairline; now the wearer can have the option to wear her hair in updos or high ponytails, or so that she may free part the wig in the front for more styling options, without concern for "tracks" or the wig's cap being exposed.

Lace wigs are convenient because they're wigs that you can throw on for any occassion. They are fairly easy-to-apply and can be more cost effective in the long run, than having to spend time and money on weaves and high salon costs for installing hair extentions.

All lace wigs, be it full or front lace, already come pre-styled in hair textures that may suit any occasion. The most common types of lace wig hair types are synthetic, human hair, and Remi aka Remy.

Full Lace vs Lace Front

Full lace wigs differ from lace front wigs in that full lace wigs have the mesh lace attatched around the whole perimeter of the wig -- not just in the front -- so that the wearer can pull the hair up in high updos and ponytails without risk of the wig's back hairline being exposed. Most lace wigs, unlike front lace wigs, can be parted anywhere on the head, rather than just the front part, giving the wearer more styling options. Full lace wigs are generally more expensive than lace front wigs for these reasons.
