Choosing the Best Lace Front Wig or Full Lace Wig for you

Now that we have learned the fundamentals of the lace wig from the previous posts on this blog, it’s time to choose one for you that you will love and cherish and bring out your personality.

Step 1 – Decide your budget before you go out to shop for one

Although you can get lace wigs for various prices, I never recommend any quality related compromises. Cheaper doesn’t mean better when it comes to lace wigs. I suppose that depending on the reason why you are buying a lace wig, your expenditure will be reasonable enough. Affordable lace wigs range somewhere between $300 to $1000, depending on the type of hair and length.

It is best to research on lace front wigs before you shop and consider future uses. Are you looking for a more dramatic look? Do you want a lace wig to hide hair loss? Do you want more volume? On the other hand, are you looking for consistency with the texture and length you have now? Only you can decide the persona you want to create! Lace wigs can change one’s looks completely, or just enhance the natural hair look. It’s up to you to decide what you want from your hair!

If you are not sure about what kind of lace wig fits your personal needs, you can always consult a lace wig specialist. A good lace wig specialist will offer you advice according to your specific needs and physical appearance. Some indicators that you are working with a true professional are:

Great customer service skills;

Recommendations;

Professional services.

Factors to consider when choosing a lace wig.

There are various factors, which need to be considered before you buy your lace front wig.

Cap Size

You can get three types of lace wigs based on size – small, average or medium. The medium capsize fits most people and is the most popular size sold.

HOT TIPS!

Choose the full lace wig cap with a little stretch from ear to ear to allow for better fitting at the back of your ears.

Customized wigs are another choice if you want a perfect match to your capsize. Ask your wig maker to make a lace wig according to your exact head measurements.

The Wear and Tear Factor

It’s important to know how often you plan to wear a particular lace wig. The durability of a good lace depends on the quality of the wig you buy, how often you use it and the care taken by you to preserve it.  A good lace wig can last anywhere between a period of 3-12 months depending on how well is maintained.

HOT TIP! It is best to have two or more lace wigs, as this will reduce the wear and tear that happens from wearing one lace wig all the time. One of them can act a back up unit in case the other one needs to be sent back to the manufacturer for repair.

Having more lace wigs will also allow you more creativity when it comes to hairstyling. The lace wigs portraying the refined look can be used for business events, while the ones that create a wild, sexy look are ideal for parties or dates. Proper planning will provide you variety, a longer life for your lace wigs as well as a valuable backup plan for any situation or event.

Shape of Face

The shape of your face plays an important role while choosing a lace wig. Choosing the right wig will complement your face effectively. There is always a lace wig to meet any face shape requirement – whether the shape of the face is square, heart shaped, oval, oblong or round.

HOT TIPS!

Ask your lace wig consultant the best lace wig to compliment the shape of your face.

Remember to look at different hair magazines to see the trendiest and up to date hairstyles.

Colors

Picking the right hair color for your lace wig is as important as choosing the texture and styling of your lace wig.

HOT TIPS!

For your first lace wig, it is best to choose a color that is close to your own natural hair color.

Want to dye your lace wig by yourself? Remember to ask your wig manufacturer for a natural hair color that is free from any artificial hair dyes.

For a subtle effect, you can opt for highlights instead of a light color

The normal percentage for a highlight effect is 70-30 percent highlights. You can get a 50-50 percent blend effect, which gives an equal blend effect. Just as the case of natural hair colors, it is important to adapt the lace wig color to the seasons. The difference is that you can change the color of your hair without damaging it.

HOT TIP!

For spring and summer, it is best to opt for a light color;

Darker hair colors work wonderfully during fall or winter.

Either way, please make sure you are comfortable with the color you choose and that the color matches your skin tonality.

Your unique style & personality

A lace wig should be able to carry your sense of styling forward. Keep in mind the look you are trying to portray. If you value your career and spend 70-80% of your time at the job, opt for a more conservative look. Artists, housewives or people who are not bound in any way by a professional, more classic look, can let their creativity free and choose lace wigs that are funky.

Careers and lifestyle

Keep in mind how your lace wig might affect your daily life.

– Are you an athlete? Then it is best to get a lace wig that you can put up in a ponytail.

– Do you work in the corporate world? It would be best to choose a conservative style.

– The majority of artists in the music and movie industry use lace front wigs to enhance their sensuality and personality.
