Lace-front-wigs made for black women
Lace-wigs, hair weaving, and hair extensions are simply becoming more and more common today for all women of all nationalities! Many famous female often use best quality wigs, weaves, and hair extensions to create their glamorous look and star appeal.
Traditionally, women of color, have had very limited choices when it came to finding natural looking and best quality wigs, and hair extensions, unless they were custom made for them. This option can easily cost in the thousand dollar price ranges which typically only celebrities could afford. This is just not practical for the every day girl.
However, in the past few years all of this has changed due to online wig stores that cater specifically to black women and the enormous increase in the popularity of a particular type of wig known as lace wigs.
Many wig manufactures realized the huge demand and began creating lace front wigs specifically for black women.
What are Lace Wigs?
These types of wigs are hair wigs, as we are all familiar with, however these wigs are made with a thin sheer mesh fabric material attached.
It is this mesh material that is referred to as the lace.
The lace fabric comes in assorted colors, or a neutral sheer. It can then matched, and blend in, with any skin tone.
The wig is fitted on you. And then the excess lace fabric is carefully trimmed along the hairline around your forehead and scalp. This creates a very realistic looking hairline and the appearance that the hair is naturally growing out of head.
The end result is that no one can tell that you are wearing a wig. Even when they are close up on you. And the higher quality of the wig and the hair that it is made out of... then the more natural it will look!
This is the reason why lace wigs for black women have become so popular.
These kind of wigs generally fall into 3 general categories:
Front Lace Wigs only have lace at the forehead front edge of the wig and extend from the ear on one side of the wig to the ear on the other side. This takes care of the all important visual for your facial appearance. Because it is constructed with the minimal amount of lace it is the least expensive type of lace wig and by far the most popular of the lace wigs. You can only create a natural looking part along the front and it can not be pulled in any type of an up do hairstyle. The hair will hang to your shoulders, or down your back, etc.
Full Lace Wigs do not only have the lace on the front part from ear to ear. With full lace wigs the lace goes completely around the perimeter opening of the wig. When it applied and fitted correctly the whole circumference of your head is sealed. This wig can be pulled up on the sides and the back without exposing any of your real hair. You can wear this wig in a pony tail or any up do hairstyle. Full lace wigs are usually the choice of women who intend to wear the wig for extended period of time.
Whole Lace Wigs are constructed with the lace within the entire cap of the wig when you put it on. Whole lace wigs are the choice for women who may have suffered complete hair lost due to an illness. They need a wig that is secured on to their entire scalp. Whole lace wigs are the solution for this. These wigs can be parted, pull up in the back, parted on the sides and treated exactly as if it were your actually own hair.
Lace wigs are secured with either a double sided tape, or a liquid skin bond adhesive which is by far the most popular. It does not damage your skin and does not come into contact with your real hair.
Whenever you are ready to remove the wig a simple solution is applied which dissolves the bond adhesive within a couple of minutes. Then you just simply take the wig off.
The bottom line is that lace wigs creates a more genuine natural look. There is significantly less time involved than a weave, or putting in hair extensions. It causes no damage to your real hair. And it is fitted and secured in place, so you can be confident while you are wearing it. What more could a girl want?
