What Every Buyer Should Know About The Purchase And Care Of Full Lace Wigs

By April Briggs


People who have lost their hair due to illness or simply desire a new look, including many celebrities, choose to adorn themselves with natural-looking wigs. Lace wigs feature a thin mesh "lace" cap is worn close to the scalp along the natural hairline to appear as though the hair is actually growing from the head and are a popular choice for the wide range of styles and versatility they offer.

The majority of these wigs are made from human hair which provides more styling options and a more realistic appearance. Full lace units cover the entire head. They can be parted anywhere and styled in a ponytail or updo. Lace front wigs and lace frontals differ in that they feature lace only at the front of the piece, and are used to provide added fullness in the front.

If the wig is well maintained, this will improve its durability and how long it lasts which can be for several years with proper care. When adhesives are used, the wig may be worn for as long as two or three weeks before it will need to be reapplied. Those without natural hair, have better adhesion and can typically wear the wig longer.

It's important to choose a wig cap color which matches one's own skintone as closely as possible. The color choice should be based on the hairline not the whole body. In general those with light skin should choose transparent, medium or tan complexions are best with beige, and darker skinned people can use light or dark brown.

The type of hair the wig is made from can vary in terms of texture, weight, thickness, and sheen. Some are more easily dyed another color if desired or styled than others. The Chinese remy style is the thickest and best for dying and styling, while the Indian remy offers fine, silky, sleekness, and Malaysian and Mongolian remy styles provide thickness and shine and matte waviness respectively.

Any wig will look better if it is applied correctly. The best way to ensure a proper fit is to wear a wig cap or style one's natural hair very close to the scalp such as cornrow braids. The excess lace will need to be trimmed to achieve a good fit along the hairline, and it must be well secured with combs and glue. If a more natural hairline is desired, simply pulling a few strands or baby hairs through from the natural hair underneath can produce this effect.

In terms of caring for the wig, it's important to purchase a stand for it to sit on when it is not being worn so it will hold its shape and continue to look its best. Washing must be done using two spray bottles, fill both with water and add shampoo to one and conditioner to the other. Spray with the shampoo mixture, comb through, rinse, and do the same with the conditioner, pat dry and allow to air out on a wig stand.

Wigs fashioned from human hair can be styled more or less the same as one's natural hair. It is safe to use blow dryers, curlers, curling irons, and straighteners on remy hair wigs, but it's not advisable to try to straighten a very curly design, as it will likely go frizzy. If wearing the wig to bed, wrap one's head in a protective scarf and use a satin pillowcase.
