Lace front

Lace Front Wig

This wig has a lace front, usually extending from ear to ear, onto which hair strands are hand-tied. This part creates an extremely realistic hairline that blends with the skin, giving the appearance that the hair grows directly from the scalp.

The lace front construction is ideal if you like to pull hair away from the face or style hairstyles that require a natural transition around the forehead. At the same time, the wig is comfortable, versatile, and more affordable than full lace or silk top models.

The rest of the cap is usually machine-made (wefted).

This construction allows for a natural-looking hairline at the front and a realistic parting, while remaining more budget-friendly compared to other wig types.

The lace front wig represents the first generation of lace wigs, where lace is used only at the front edge for a natural hairline, while the rest of the cap is machine-made.

Thanks to the front lace section with hand-tied hair, the part looks natural, and the hair on top has freedom of movement, creating a realistic appearance.

This type of wig strikes a balance between cost and naturalness—it provides a realistic top while keeping the rest of the cap simple and durable.

✅ Advantages:

  • very natural-looking hairline

  • ability to style hair back

  • lightweight and breathable construction

  • seamless transition along the forehead

  • cheaper compared to a lace top wig

⚠️ Disadvantages:

  • lace is delicate – requires careful handling

  • shorter lifespan of the front section due to the delicate material

  • may require adhesive or tape for perfect fit

Conclusion:
Lace front wigs are ideal for anyone seeking the most realistic hairline, the ability to pull hair back, and a natural-looking forehead. They are especially suitable for people who frequently change hairstyles and want a wig that allows flexible styling and an elegant, natural look.
