What is a lace wig?
A lace wig, also called a lace "unit" or "hair system". It is a kind of hair extension that creates the illusion that hair is growing out of one's scalp, and therefore is one of the most natural looking extension on the market. A fine lace material is used as the base where individual hairs are meticulously hand tied onto the lace. The term 'full lace' means that the base cap is made fully of lace, while 'lace front' wigs have lace in front and different materials at the back of the cap. You can also purchase a 'lace frontal' hair piece that can be used with weaving wefts. With this arrangement, the wefts are glued or sewn into one's hair and the lace frontal applied only at the hairline. To learn more about the different ways your wig can be made, click here!
Who wears these wigs?
Some people wear lace wigs and frontals out of a necessity due to medical conditions that bring about hair loss (such as alopecia). Others may wear them as a protective style to help nurture the growth of their natural hair and yet others may choose lace wigs as their preferred hair fashion.

How do lace wigs differ from "regular" wigs?
The main advantage of the full lace wig over other wigs is that you can wear your hair in up dos, ponytails, and other styles that expose one's nape area. Traditional wigs usually pevent these styling options. Lace wigs are also more lightweight and comfortable than traditional wigs due to the minimization of tension on the scalp. They also fit a lot more comfortably as they are made to mimic your hair line.
Can I apply and maintain the wigs myself or do I need to go to a specialist?
Though there is somewhat of a learning curve for perfecting your application, you do not need to have the skills of a licensed cosmetologist to benefit from these extensions. We will provide you with the tools needed to perfect your applications. Of course, if you so desire, you seek out the services of a stylist who specializes in lace wig applications also.

Can I wear lace wigs if I have a full head of hair?
Absolutely! You can braid/cornrow, twist, wrap, or flatten hair to prepare for application. The main objective is to get your hair as flat as possible for the most natural look.
Is it really undetectable?
Once applied correctly our wigs are, indeed, very undetectable. Your admirers may not even believe you if you told them that you were wearing a wig! Please click here if you would like to make a consultation or application appointment.
Can I wear different textures and colors than my own?
Absolutely! Once you apply beyond your natural hairline, you can go from long to short or from curly to straight. The choice is up to you.
How is the length measured?
The length of our wigs is measured from the crown to the hair's tip (from crown to back, where the hair would fall on your back). Use measuring tape to measure from the crown of your head to where you want the hair to fall on your back. If the hair of the wig is longer than what you desire, you can have it expertly cut by your stylist.
How long can I wear my wig at a time?
Your extended wear will depend on what adhesives you use, your body chemistry and how your skin responds to the adhesives, and how frequently you wish to re-apply. We stress that it is important for you to be mindful of your hair and scalp condition underneath during extended wear. Most clients achieve a 1-4 week hold with the right adhesive, washing and nurturing their own hair in between applications. If you are bald or have significant hair loss, you are likely to achieve a much longer hold.
What density should I order and why does it matter?
The density refers to how thick the hair is and what density you order is really based on personal choice. Most women achieve a natural appearance with light to medium or medium density; however, your choice will depend on your styling preferences and individual profile. Please click here to see the different kinds of densities were offer.
Can I swim in it or play sports?
Yes, you can exercise in your wig if you apply with an adhesive that works with your body chemistry and can withstand this type of activity. We recommend trying out an adhesive before that vacation to make sure that it is working out right for you!
Can the hair be flat ironed or curled?
The hair is 100% human hair that can withstand household styling tools such as curling irons and flat irons. You can wash, set, and style the wig as you would your own hair. But like your natural hair, the hair can get damaged with the misuse and overuse of products.
Can I have a style or color made that is not currently shown in your gallery?
Yes, our catalog is being continually updated so not every available style is represented on the site. We offer customization at reasonable prices. Please send us your photos and detailed information on how you would like your wig made and we will provide you with a quote.
Can I dye the hair?
The technical answer is yes, but we do not recommend any further processing of the hair if it has already been dyed and processed. Only experienced colorists should attempt to color the hair. Remember that though the hair is 100% human hair, it is just as prone to damage from excessive processing as your own hair. We cannot and will not be responsible for the results.
Can I wear my lace wig in a high ponytail?
Yes, you can wear your wig in a high ponytail once you apply around your full perimeter with adhesives. You will need a cap construction that is made with lace around the perimeter. All our full lace wig units include baby hair around the entire circumference of the unit.
Can I part my lace wig and where can lace wigs be parted?
Our lace wigs can be parted anywhere on the cap. If you are covering your hair, the trick is to have your parts look natural by either wearing a stocking or wig cap that is close to your skin's color. Some clients can even get a natural looking part without wearing a wig cap. Even better than using a wig cap, you can order a silk base wig where the knots are completely hidden with the silk mimicking a natural scalp.
