People who have lost their hair due to illness or simply desire a new look, including many celebrities, choose to adorn themselves with natural-looking wigs. Lace wigs feature a thin mesh "lace" cap is worn close to the scalp along the natural hairline to appear as though the hair is actually growing from the head and are a popular choice for the wide range of styles and versatility they offer.
Because most of these wigs are manufactured from human hair, they not only provide a natural look, but also allow the wearer to style them any way they wish. Full lace styles cover the whole head, whereas lace frontals and lace front wigs only provide added fullness in the front and cover that area.
Durability of the wig primarily depends on how well it is maintained. With proper care, it may remain looking good for several years. If they are applied with an adhesive product, they may last as long as two or three weeks before reapplication is needed, in particular in those who have lost their natural hair as there is better adhesion.
The cap of the wig is the part which fits against the scalp, so it is necessary to select a color which best matches the skintone of the wearer's hairline. Fair skinned people should choose a transparent cap, tan or medium complexions are best served by beige, and those with a dark complexion can pick either light or dark brown.
The type of hair the wig is made from can vary in terms of texture, weight, thickness, and sheen. Some are more easily dyed another color if desired or styled than others. The Chinese remy style is the thickest and best for dying and styling, while the Indian remy offers fine, silky, sleekness, and Malaysian and Mongolian remy styles provide thickness and shine and matte waviness respectively.
Wearers must learn the proper method of applying and securing the wig if they want it to look its best. If there is natural hair it should be covered with a wig cap or cornrowed close to the scalp, the lace on the wig will need to be trimmed carefully to fit the hairline correctly, and it must be secured properly with combs and glue. Pulling a few baby hairs or strands of one's own hair through can help make the hairline look more natural too.
In terms of caring for the wig, it's important to purchase a stand for it to sit on when it is not being worn so it will hold its shape and continue to look its best. Washing must be done using two spray bottles, fill both with water and add shampoo to one and conditioner to the other. Spray with the shampoo mixture, comb through, rinse, and do the same with the conditioner, pat dry and allow to air out on a wig stand.
What makes wearers so fond of these wigs is the fact that they can basically wear and style them as they can their actual hair. Most can be curled with an iron or curlers, straightened with a flat iron, or blow dried. At bedtime, the head should be covered with a scarf, and a satin pillowcase should be used.
