Lace front wigs are commonly known to be a secret weapon to getting your hair flawless and undetectable. They have initially been used by performers and actresses to transform them in Hollywood movies. Celebrities also wore the lace front wigs off the set because of the great transformation that the wigs gave them.

Pros of lace front wigs

Unlike other wigs, lace front wigs have an invisible hairline. While different manufacturers use different materials to make the lace, each of them prefers a nearly invisible lace material. The primary aim is to make people believe that the hair is actually growing right out of your scalp. Therefore, most people would go for a lace front wig to make their wigs look more realistic.

Lace front wigs are a good solution for persons suffering from premature balding, hair loss after chemotherapy, and hair thinning. Sometimes people chose them to get a flawless look while wearing them. Such people find it trendy to wear a wig to change their looks.

Cons of lace front wigs

The process is labor-intensive and the cost might be a little higher, though the illusion of a great hairline is priceless. Nobody will know whether you are wearing a wig unless you tell them. Ready-to-wear lace wigs are measured to fit exactly into your head, thus not needing you to cut or trim any part of the lace.

The lace front is delicate. Therefore, be careful not to pull or stretch it out because it would lose its shape. If you are too hard on the lace front wigs, you might lose them sooner than you thought.

How long does a lace front wig last on your hair?

A lace front wig can stay on your hair for over six weeks when you use a long-term adhesive. If you use a short-term adhesive, the lace front wig is likely to peel out before the six weeks elapse. Similarly, if you fail to take good care of your wig, you are likely to ruin your hair.

However, if you care for your wig and maintain it properly, there will be minimal chances that the lace front wig will damage your hair. It would not matter whether you used glue or not, your natural hair will remain in its natural condition.

Do lace front wigs have to be glued?

Lace front wigs do not have to be glued and you can wear them without having to glue them on your hair. Sometimes the glue may clog the pores around the hairline. Clogging the pores might interfere with some physiological processes that occur on the skin.

You can use tape instead of glue, which would still do a great job to hold your lace front wig in place. Tapes are usually considered a great option because it allows for non-damaging natural movement of the hair. Suppose you are bald and have a sensitive scalp. In that case, a tape would work out quite well.
