A Lace front wig has lace at the forehead extending from ear to ear or other sizes according to different requirements, which will leave you with an undetectable and unbelievably natural looking hairline. Front lace wigs will give you a natural hairline in the front. This means the hair can be parted anywhere throughout the front of the unit. The construction of the crown and back are made of weft tracks just like a regular wig. It is usually accompanied with two combs on the front and one on the back. Two adjustable straps with hooks on the back ensure a secure fit.

The lace front wig is usually applied with tapes or liquid adhesives in the front, each of which has its own pros and cons. Water-based, liquid adhesives tend to be more gentle on the skin and on the wig, but may lose their holding power if subject to water and excessive sweat. Acrylic glues will offer a more secure hold, but may cause outbreaks on sensitive skin. Some wig wearers forgo glues altogether, opting for double-sided tape to adhere a full lace wig. Some lace front wigs are made so well to fit the head, with the stretch cap and adjustable straps, it is optional to wear with or without adhesives.
