What is a "Lace Front" Wig?
Lace Front wigs are units that have strands of hair individually knotted to a nylon or polyester mesh material that is constructed along the frontal area of the wig (some full cap and/or outer perimeter). The natural looking foundation is undetectable and disappears as it touches the skin. It is structured to simulate hair growing out of the skin.
Lace Front Wigs are one of the hottest and latest trends hitting the beauty scene. Celebrities such as Beyonce, Tyra Banks and RuPaul and Mary J Blige have been rockin' "lace front" for many, many moons. And there are plenty of caucasion celebrities who loveth the lace front too- such as Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton and Pamela Anderson. LFW's are by far the most realistic type of wig availible on the market today. From my understanding the cost to obtain and maintain a custom fitted lace-front wig, is a "grip" [$$] - Which may be one reason why the trend has been kept within celebrity circles for so long.
However, as with any high end beauty trend - the "cat has been let out of the bag" and more affordable wigs are being made availible to the masses. I reckon that soon and very soon you will see the common neighborhood diva out at the club, swingin' her lace front mane to and fro [It might be me].
Lace Fronts are heaven sent for anybody who is enduring hair loss due to an illness, the results of chemotherapy radiation treatments, or even for no apparent reason. A lace wig can add realistic-looking hair to their head and boost confidence. This type of wig, stunningly, can look and feel like real hair if it is of high quality and applied correctly. The only real issue with a "lace front" is that it cannot hold up to daily wear and tear as well as a wig made of synthetic fibers.
CONGRATULATIONS! You are now "in the know" of what Lace Front Wig Technology is all about. You may even be a step ahead of the beauty "know-it-alls" in your area.

- I ordered a blond loose curl lace wig from luxurylacewigs and the color texture is beautiful. I did not speak to anyone so I dont know about the customer service. Always use biosilk on your lace wig. It's great.
