There
are typically two choices of lace materials used to
make a base cap – Swiss and French lace. Swiss
lace is very fine and delicate and is the more undetectable
choice. Though French lace is not as undetectable,
it is still a great choice for most clients because
it is made of a more durable material.
Who
wears these wigs? Some
people wear lace wigs and frontals out of necessity.
They wear them because of due to medical conditions
(such as alopecia and chemo-therapy) that bring about
hair loss. Others choose to wear lace wigs as a protective
style to help nurture the growth of their natural
hair. Yet others may choose lace wigs as their preferred
hair fashion. Whatever the reason, lace wigs are becoming
more popular as people are realizing their versatility,
ease, and natural looking appearance. Lace wigs are
an excellent choice for women of all ethnicities and
with the affordable prices at ShopLaceWigs.com anyone
can wear these wigs!
How do lace front wigs differ from "regular"
wigs? The main advantage
of the full lace wig over other styles is that the
hair can be worn in up-dos, ponytails, and other styles
that expose the nape area. Traditional wigs usually
preclude these styling options. Lace wigs are also
more lightweight and comfortable than traditional
wigs.
What are the wig cap types and how are they
different? There are
a variety of wig cap options available. Three that
are popular include: Full lace with ear-to-ear stretch,
full lace with stretch over ear and full lace with
no stretch.
Full lace with ear-to-ear stretch (across the top):
Stretch lace at the crown across the head (ear to
ear over the top). This is the typical cap construction
for ShopLW.com stock lace wigs. This fit provides
the most comfortable fit if your measurements are
slightly off or change due to variations in the preparation
of your hair underneath (ex: wrapping your own hair
vs. cornrowing). Parting the hair down the middle
will reveal a darker area where the stretch lace is
positioned on the cap.
Full
lace with stretch only over the ears: Full lace throughout
with a small amount of stretch lace behind the ear.
This type of cap design works well if your measurements
are accurate and you have difficulty attaching your
wig behind your ears. The elastic in this area provides
a snug fit behind the ear even without adhesive. Hair
may be parted down the middle; however wearing the
hair in a high ponytail may reveal the stretch area
behind the ear depending on the lace wig density.
Full lace with no stretch: Full
lace throughout with no stretch lace – may have
Swiss lace in the front and French lace crown to nape.
This cap design works well only if your measurements
are accurate. There are no stretch areas to forgive
inaccurate measurements. This cap design provides
the most styling options, as hair may be parted and
worn in any manner.
What
kind of hair is used? Lace
wigs at ShopLaceWigs.com are made of 100% Indian Remy
human hair. Hair is used from one donor and its cuticles
are aligned in the same direction. This is important
because if the cuticles are misaligned, you end up
with unruly hair that is prone to excessive matting
and tangling. Unlike most of the hair available in
your local beauty supply stores - that are unusable
after the first wash – our lace wigs are high-quality
human hair. They are soft and natural and will save
you money in the long run.
Can
I apply the wig myself? There
is normally a short learning curve for perfecting
your application. However, you do not need to have
the skills of a licensed cosmetologist to be able
to apply your lace wig. We will provide you with the
tools needed to perfect your application. We will
eventually include basic lace wig application Instructions
with each lace wig purchase. Of course, the best course
of action is to seek out the services of a stylist
who specializes in lace wig applications.
Can
I wear lace wigs if I have a full head of hair? 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.
Are
they undetectable? A
good lace wig application will minimize the visibility
of the lace wig foundation. Your admirers may not
even believe you, if you told them that you were wearing
a wig!
Can
I wear different textures and colors than my own?
You can go from a long &
straight to short & curly. The choice is up to
you.
How
is the length measured and how do I know what length
to buy? The length
of our wigs is measured being the full length of the
hair (root to tip). The length of layered hairstyles
will be described based on the length of the hair
before styling. Use measuring tape to measure from
the crown of your head to where you want the hair
to fall. If the hair of the wig is longer than what
you desire, you can have it expertly cut by your stylist.
Do
I have to use adhesives to wear my wig? No.
The bobby pin method will work just fine. It really
will depend on your circumstances and lifestyle. Some
clients like to remove their wigs on a daily basis
and find that pinning it down is convenient even though
it allows for less styling options. Others may want
to maximize the length of hold and their styling options
by applying the wig on their full perimeter with adhesive.
The best adhesive for you will depend on your body's
chemistry.
Can I wear the wig behind my hairline?
Yes, many of our clients do
- especially ones with smaller foreheads who cannot
afford the room to apply the wig in front of their
natural hairline.
How
long will my wig last? The
life of your wig will depend on your use and care.
If handled properly, it should last one year and for
some clients lace wigs last even longer.
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 one-to-two 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
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.
Can
I work out when wearing a lace wig? 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.
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 (info@shopLW.com) 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. Further, only experienced colorists
should attempt to color the hair. Remember that although
the hair is 100% human hair, it is just as prone to
damage from excessive processing just as your own
hair. We cannot and will not be responsible for the
results.
Can
I wear my lace front 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.
Can
I part my lace wig and where can lace wigs be parted?
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.
