Regular wigs have been around for hundreds of years, but in today’s modern society, people usually do not like to be noticed as wearing a wig. There are a variety of hair growing products and operations, but for some people, that option is not practical. An alternative to the traditional style of wig is the full lace wig, which appears much more realistic than its older counterpart.

Never heard of a full lace wig? The concept is relatively simple, and you have probably seen a wig of this nature at some point. Full lace wigs are made with a cap, and a lace is sewn on to the cap. On that lace, individual hairs are sewn, to make the wig look as natural as possible. A new hairline is made around your head, and the wig fits easily on. There is no limit to what you can do with the wig, including putting it in any arrangement that you desire.
The greatest part of a full lace wig is that it looks so real. Hair actually appears to be growing straight out of the scalp. Regular wigs can be quickly identified, especially if one just takes a moment to analyze it. Full lace wigs are nearly unidentifiable, so most people will not be able to tell you are wearing a wig at all. Also, the hair used is human hair, not any synthetic substitutes which are of much lower quality.

One can attach a wig to their head using two methods. They can either utilize double sided tape, or a liquid adhesive. Each option is equally applicable and neither one is better than the other. Whatever option is chosen, it should be made sure of that the product is high quality and durable. Durability is especially important for one who engages in a variety of intensive activities. If your bonding is not strong enough, it is possible that the wig will fall right off. In addition, tape and/or adhesive makes the hair look even more natural, by further accentuating the look of hair growing out of the head.

Density is the thickness of hair, and when deciding on a full lace wig, one of the criteria is how dense you want the hair to be. Most natural hair is medium dense, but one can usually pull off having light or heavy dense hair, as some people look better with less dense/more dense hair. It really is a matter of personal preference. There is an average density for human hair, and that average is what defines light, medium, and heavy density. For example, light is considered sixty percent of normal density, medium is one hundred percent, and heavy is one hundred and fifty percent. Due to the fact that full lace wigs are inherently realistic looking, the dense factor is not that critical in expressing realism.

Since individual hairs are hand sewed on to full lace wigs, and the hair is real, it is understandable that the price of the wigs would be high. People who really care about their hair should make the investment in to full lace wigs, but those who are not too mindful of it should not have a problem with a regular wig. Full lace wigs run between three hundred and five hundred dollars, although if a wig is extremely high quality and made with in-demand hair, the price can reach into the thousands.

Attaching a front lace wig is not as difficult as it may seem. With just a little practice you will become an expert at dawning your wig and will be able to do it by yourself every time, with no trouble at all. One of the major benefits of a front lace wig is that you can apply it yourself, unlike other types of wigs that require an extra set of hands.

Double sided tape and Liquid Adhesives

The two most common materials used for attaching front lace wigs is double sided tape and liquid adhesive. Both of these products are best applied to bare skin on the scalp or on an area of extreme hair loss or balding. Don’t just use any double sided tape or adhesive though. Rather, you should always use attachment products that are designed and manufactured specifically for this use.

Step One

To apply your front lace wig using tape, first prepare your tape by cutting it into strips of approximately 3 inches in length, by 4 inches in width. Now take one of your pieces of tape and place it on the polyurethane tape patch area, right where the lace front connects to it. The next step is to place the strip on the front hairline where it meets the edge of the lace.

Trim and Contour

Now firmly apply pressure, so it is held down in place. Now repeat the procedure until you have attached the entire front edge of the lace to the wig itself. Also, remember to apply adequate pressure to the wig each time that you apply your tape strips. As you move around your head with the tape strips, you will find yourself having to do some tape trimming, so the end finished work contours to the shape of your head.
