Wigs have become a part of everyday life, whether for celebrity hairstyles, cosplay, clinical concealing, or other occasions. However, an ill-fitting wig can be embarrassing if it slips off in public. That’s why, more than color or style, the fit and size of a wig are what really matter.

By “size,” we mean the siza of a wig cap—the base where hair strands are attached. Lace wig caps are mainly classified by how the lace is distributed on the cap, with the two main types being lace front wigs and full lace wigs. In this article, we will explain the differences between these two styles.

The Lace Front Wigs

The Lace front wigs feature synthetic lace material secured to the forehead lining of the wig cap. The smooth, delicate lace edge ensures the cap adheres securely to the forehead, creating a natural, realistic hairline for the wearer. Industrially produced synthetic silk wavy front-net wigs feature a 3-inch-wide mesh cap with a fixed webbing structure. The mesh can be secured by stretching it with clips behind the ears or adhering it to the forehead and combed into a center part to create a flawless frontal hairline.

Pros of Lace Front Wigs

• These are less expensive.
• Grants you a sumptuous, healthy, natural-looking hairline.

Cons of Lace Front Wigs

• The wigs are stable at the front but loose at the back, thus any kind of back-end hairstyle is off the menu.
• If the lace area is too small, a side-parted hairstyle cannot be achieved.

The Full Lace Wigs

The fully laced hair caps are the best kind of wigs. The wig is composed of a whole-headed medicated cap, dense follicle number, and a circumference all-around lacing. The lace is made up of breathable and unique material that holds the wig on the head with assurance and comfort.

Pros of Full Lace Wigs

• The wigs are strongly placed over the head.
• The hairs on the wigs could be parted according to your styling wish.
• Due to the all-around grip of the lace, the wig is open to all back-end hairstyling like the top knot, the bun, or the high ponytail.
• Twisting out is feasible with full lace wigs.

Cons of Full Lace Wigs

The only drawback of full lace wigs is they are quite costly because these are mainly handcrafted and are done with the best materials.

What are Mainly Two Types of Full Lace Wigs？

• Glued - The wigs are held on the head by using glue under the lacing.
• Glueless full lace wigs – These are the very best kind of wigs. To fit the head, the wig comes with an adjustable back end, somewhat elastic, straps, frontal combs, side combs, and stretchable lace behind the ears. Some people may have rashes from using glue, but with these arrangements, no side effects have been found.

Choosing the right wig comes down to understanding your needs and the fit that works best for you. Lace front wigs offer a natural-looking hairline at an affordable price, while full lace wigs provide unmatched styling flexibility and a secure fit for more elaborate hairstyles. By knowing the differences and features of each type, you can confidently pick the wig that suits your lifestyle and look.
