General Lace Wig Questions

Why Choose Lace Wigs?

Lace front wigs represent the latest technology for non-surgical hair replacement in the world today. A lace wig when designed and constructed properly will be the closest thing to your own real hair, or can replace the hair you never had. It is the most natural, most beautiful, hair replacement system imaginable today.  It is made out of real human hair and hand tied into a very sheer lace base one single hair at a time. It should look so natural that it can be virtually undetectable to anyone, even at a distance of only a few inches away. You can wear it for weeks at a time without removing it. You can comb your hair straight back, part it in the middle, exercise, or even go swimming with it.

There are no limitations to your look or lifestyle. You can shower, sleep, perm, wash or do anything you would normally do. You can finally have the hair you always dreamed about!

What Is a Lace Front Wig, Full Lace Wig, and Lace Frontal Hairpiece?

The term "lace front wig" and "full lace wig" are virtually the same; A lace front wig, or other known as a full lace wig has a very natural front hair line and is constructed with fine lace in the front and a variety of materials in the back of the head. A full lace system is the ultimate system since it will look natural from every angle regardless of how the hair is brushed or styled. The object of a lace front wig, a full lace wig, and lace frontals is to look beautiful and natural! You do not want anyone to ever think you are wearing a wig. A full lace system is usually preferred and is the ultimate in style, design, beauty and naturalness. A lace frontal hairpiece is constructed with fine lace in the front from ear to ear and measure as far as 8" back from hairline and is used along with weft hair.

                         Texture and Color Questions
 
What is Remy/Remi Indian hair?

Remy hair, also called virgin, cuticle or cut hair; is the highest quality human hair you can find on the market. WE ONLY MANUFACTURE OUR LACE WIGS WITH THE BEST REMY HAIR AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET. The hair is in the most natural state, free from chemical processing of any kind.

Remy hair is special because each bundle comes directly from a single donors head. This allows each bundle to keep the consistency of texture, color, and length. It is then cleaned and sorted to be packaged. The cuticles of the hair are all intact and facing in the same direction. This eliminates the worrisome pain of tangles and matting. This is what makes Remy hair a step above the rest!

Can you Duplicate a Celebrity Picture or Photo of me?

We can duplicate any picture that you send to us! - You can do this by simply placing a custom lace front wig order and within the "order form" there is an option where you will be able to insert your own picture! You can specify weather you want the similar color of the photo, similar texture, or even style!

Can I style this hair with curling irons, roller sets, beauty products etc?

Remy hair can be dyed, permed, styled, set and blown dry to suit the individual.  It is the softest and most natural hair available to buy. It looks and feels like actual hair, because it is!  This hair is not something you see in at the beauty supply store because of the price. Because of its quality, most people pay around $900 - $3500 and up for these same wigs.

Will the hair on my lace wig curl up when wet?

Yes! This hair is 100% human hair and reacts to styling with natural water just like your own natural hair. The remy hair straight/curly/wavy textures curl up when wet, but they can easily be flat ironed for a straight look.

                                Lace Cap Questions

What Lace Cap Choice Is Best For Me - French Lace or Swiss Lace?

There are many types of lace that can be used for the base, we prefer the French lace. French lace is more durable than Swiss lace and it is the best choice for new lace wig wearers. French lace tends to last longer and is virtually tear resistant during the application process when using tougher glues and bonds. The French Lace is thin, delicate and natural looking.

The Swiss Lace is more undetectable but the main concern is that the lace breaks down faster and can rip much easier; if the lace rips this will make your lace wig system unusable. Again! - The Swiss lace is the most undetectable of the laces, but the most fragile. Swiss lace cap choice is best for experienced lace wig users.

Overall, both french and swiss lace look extremely natural and as the lace seems to disappear into your scalp when applied with our special surgical bonds and lace tape. Your unit will come with extra lace extending from the hairline, which you will trim off to custom fit your hairline and then bond with your choice of adhesive.

                   Application and Attachment Questions

How Long will My Wig Last?

A lace wig unit can last for many months or even years depending on your usage and upkeep. The types of glues that are used during the application method also apply to the life span of your unit. For example, the lace wig can be compared to the tires on car; of course the more you drive your car, the more worn down the tires become and the need for replacement tires becomes greater. The idea remains that if you plan to wear your wig more often, the natural need for a new unit will become greater as the hair naturally degrades due to extended periods of use.

Can I wear this wig even if I have my own hair?

Yes. You will have to make your own hair as flat as possible, by wrapping or braiding it. Then apply a flesh toned stocking cap over your natural hair to simulate your scalp color.

What If I have Experienced severe hair loss due to an illness or chemical damage? Is this type of wig right for me?

Absolutely! I highly recommend this system for anyone with any kind of hair loss or undergoing Chemotherapy. If you suffer from a medical condition where you have experienced sever hair loss, it's recommended to proceed with full french or full swiss lace. This will ensure the most comfortable "perfect" fit.

Can I swim or go to the gym and sweat with this wig on?

Yes. You can do your usual activities with this wig on daily. Only avoid swimming or sweating for 24 hours after applying adhesives and tapes. If you use the Safe Grip Copolymer bond, you only have to wait until it is dry. Other than that, no one will ever know the hair is not growing from your own scalp! Also make sure you use a waterproof adhesive. Not all adhesives and glues are waterproof. The combination of the Scalp Protector and Safe Grip Copolymer bond will ensure the strongest and best water resistant application available.

What are some recommended Lace Wig Adhesives?

There are three main ways to attach the lace wig system. That is by special glues, tape, or a combination of the two methods. 

We carry all the medical grade adhesive glues that will not irritate the skin and provide a long lasting hold. We break our glues into three separate base types; that being silicon, acrylic and copolymer. Each has different lasting properties but all are well tested and have been in used for years for lace.

Using Beginner Glues

The Mity Tite is medical grade acrylic glue that can be used for application duration of 1-10 days. The application duration depends mainly on how much glue is applied and if the combination of lace tape is involved. The Mity Tite is the most popular glue that is used by beginners during the application process.

Using Expert Glues

The Safe Grip is a copolymer medical adhesive and is the latest development in applying lace to the scalp. This glue can provide application duration of 1-6 weeks. The Safe Grip adhesive does not break down by your body oils, sweat, or perspiration. It is very flexible and dries completely transparent, making sure that no one sees the bond or the lace on your scalp. The Safe Grip is the most popular used by experienced users.

Using Tape Adhesives

The type of Lace Wig Tape used for wig application is a special, clear, two-sided lace tape adhesive. The lace tape comes available in a pack of 30 pieces and is applied directly on your scalp or wig cap by simply attaching the lace onto the tape. The double sided tape is clear and holds the lace very well. The duration of lace tape is can last 1-3 days.

Please note: To ensure the best hold possible for your lace wig system; You may use the tape with and beginner glue or expert glue. Although the combination of Mity Tite and Tape is most preferred by new lace wig users.
