How to decide which lace wig will best meet your needs.
Buying a lace wig for the first time can be a daunting process as there is so much choice. This choice is not restricted to finding a style that suits your face as lace wigs also vary in construction. The variety in lace wigs enables people to ideally meet the needs of their lifestyle and image.
In order to remove some of the confusion often experienced by first time users this article briefly details the differences between Lace Front and Full Lace Wigs.
Things you should consider before deciding whether to buy a Lace Front or Full Lace Wig
o Are you very active, do you require an unusually secure wig?
o Do you intend to wear your wig occasionally or daily?
o Are you heavy-handed or gentle when styling your hair?
o How do you wish to style your hair?
o How much time do you have to put your wig on?
o Do you wish to change the colour, curl or straighten the hair of the wig?
Considering your image and lifestyle needs will enable you to decide which of the various wig types might be suitable for you i.e.: Full Lace or Lace Front?
What are the pros and cons of a Full Lace Wig?
They are constructed entirely on a lace base with a lace seam that is fixed around the entire circumference of the head (as oppose to just at the front from ear to ear as with a Lace Front Wig). The hair used in the wigs is lightweight and versatile and can be parted at any point and in any direction. The hair can be worn up, in a pony-tail or in braids.
Because of the wider variety of styles available as well as the option for extended wear, they are very popular. They can take longer to put on than a Lace Front Wig due to the wig needing to be secured with adhesive all the way around the head. This can be an issue for those who only want to wear their lace wig occasionally and for shorter periods as they perhaps have less time to spare in preparation. It’s not an issue though if you are intending to wear your wig for days or even a couple of weeks at a time.
Pros:
o They are more natural looking (undetectable) than other wigs
o Hair and scalp below can breathe
o They are comfortable and light weight
o They offer more versatile styling options.
o They can be worn for extended periods.
o You can sleep, work-out and even swim in a Full Lace Wig. Though chlorine and salt water can damage lace wig hair just as it can your own.
Cons:
o Has to be glued around entire perimeter of the head.
o Can be time consuming to put on.
What are the pros and cons of a Lace Front Wig?
A Lace Front Wig is constructed from lace at the front only with a stronger, more durable material at the back similar to that of a regular wig. It is secured with adhesive or tape around the front from ear to ear and either a machine made cap with elastic or elastic straps built into it at the back.
The lack of need to adhere the wig with adhesive at the back as well as the front saves some time in application and as such may be more suitable for short term or occasional wear due to less time required in preparation. However the fact that the seam is not adhered around the entire perimeter of the head means that while the hair can still be worn in a low ponytail it cannot be parted in any direction as it can with a Full Lace Wig.
Pros:
o Lace Front Wigs are quicker and easier to apply than a Full Lace Wig.
o You can wear a Lace Front Wig off the face and at the back in a low ponytail.
o You can use a lace front Wig over heavier hair.
o Breathable
o Natural looking hairline
o Suitable for extended wear
Cons:
o Lace Front Wigs are not as versatile re styling as Full Lace Wigs.
Once you have considered your own needs and the pros and cons of the lace wigs on offer, a decision re which to buy should be easier.

Clip in Hair Extensions vs One piece Hair wefts and Hair pieces
What are the differences between clip on hair extensions and one piece clip in hair pieces? Which are better? We explain all for you!
Clip in Hair Extensions – what are they and how do they work?
Hair extensions are an easy way of making hair longer and thicker by attaching human hair (obtained by companies often from women in India or Russia) or synthetic fibre to natural hair using one of a number of methods.
Very few celebrities we see who have long, thick hair are lucky enough to be blessed with natural hair in that state. Many have bonded real- hair extensions, glued or bonded in using heat guns by professionals. Experts can apply extensions so that joins can rarely be seen, and colours blended so very rarely can the client’s real hair be distinguished from the added hair. The cost of a full-head of real hair extensions can be upwards of £600 (and often take over 4 hours to apply) and these need replacing (to maintain their condition) at least every 3-4 months.
It is the prohibitive costs of these professionally applied extensions that has opened the market for clip-in hair extensions. These can be made of real hair or synthetic hair and come in all shades of colours so that you can mix and match with your own hair.
The width and length of the extensions can also vary so that you can choose the placing of the pieces on your own head. Each extension piece (ranging from 5cm wide to 15 cm wide has a clip attached which you can use to clip into your own hair.
Packs of “full head clip in hair extensions” will contain a selection of pieces of different widths that you can use individually or all together- depending on what effect/thickness you wish to achieve.
One piece Hair wefts- how do they work?
Hair wefts have been popular in the afro-caribbean market for a long time and are often sewn into one’s own hair for a semi-permanent effect, similar to glued hair extensions.
Clip in hair pieces and hair wefts are a temporary version of these traditional wefts and allow users to clip in easily to their own hair when length or extra thickness is needed. As opposed to hair extensions which come in small separate pieces, a hair weft is almost like a half-wig which clips from one side of the head all the way to the other. Attached to the head, underneath the top layer of hair, using a number of clips it creates a fuller effect than clip in hair extensions.
Hair wefts can come in different lengths, curly, wavy or straight styles and in different colours to match your own tone.
Clip in Hair Extensions or Hair wefts?
Both are great, easy ways of adding length to your own hair.
Clip in extensions give you the option of adding contrasting colour and highlights to your hair as well. You could experiment with different colour sets and create modern hair trends without having to dye your own hair.
Clip on extensions, although great for colour and length do not tend to have a great effect in terms of thickening hair, just because it would take quite a few packs, and a lot more time in attaching the pieces. Hair wefts, however, are fantastic for adding instant volume in a few simple clicks.
How are extensions and wefts attached?
Many wig retailers give free advice and instructions with all their products. There are also videos on YouTube which can show you step-by-step how to achieve your desired effect. Our own instructional video can be viewed here
