Lace wigs and lace fronts

A lace wig is truly the
ultimate for any wig wearer. A lace front wig is made completely of a soft
French or Swiss lace in several sections and the wig maker will take darts in
the lace to make the material contour the head and because of this it is
possible to get a glove tight fit for the wearer. They are different from wigs
as we generally know them because they are usually made or at least “tailored”
to fit the individual.
This is particularly
important in the top and frontal area as this is where the hair must flow
naturally and the way the lace is configured hair direction will be affected if
the lace is not placed correctly. Once the wig maker has the cap completed they
can do a final fitting to be sure the fit is correct and the front is smooth
and tight. If adjustments need to be done this is the time to do it and a final
fitting can be done just to check. Once the cap is finished the wig maker can
now begin to ventilate the hair into the base. This is done with a hooked
ventilating needle that can be gauged to pick up as many hairs as needed for a
section of the wig
The ability for the wig
maker is of course the frontal area. Once the wig maker gets to the top and
front area they will usually switch their ventilating needle to only pick up
one hair for each knot. This allows the wig maker to make very small tight
knots that are virtually impossible to be seen. The single hair knots, placement
and hair direction has to look and move like natural hair and should not be
noticeable to the eye. Once a lace front wig is finished, dressed or styled and
placed on the head a small amount of lace adhesive is placed on the skin where
the edge of the lace will sit, allowed to get tacky and then the lace is
pressed into the adhesive where it disappears into the skin. Once the adhesive
is completely dry normal daily make up can be applied and the wearer is ready
to go.
