A front lace wig (for ladies) is a type of wig where the front portion of the wig is made with a sheer lace material, designed to mimic a natural hairline and make the wig look like hair is growing directly from the scalp.
The rest of the wig cap is usually made from stronger materials like machine-wefted fabric or lace/monofilament for structure and durability.
How it works
The lace front (usually ear-to-ear) is placed along the forehead.
Individual hairs are hand-tied into the lace to create a natural-looking hairline.
The lace blends with the skin tone when applied correctly.
The back and middle part of the wig provide volume and coverage.
