Q.        Why Choose Lace Front Wigs?

A.        Lace front wigs represent the latest technology for non-surgical hair replacement in the world today. A lace front 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 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!

Q:        What is a lace wig?

A:        A wig which is made out of Remy (cuticle hair) with a mesh like lace insert (base) in the front or all around (for ponytails) or full system into which individual hairs are hand-tied. This creates a realistic looking hairline. The lace is trimmed to match the skin after purchase so that only a part that looks comfortable and more realistic to the client is left.  When using special adhesive, the hairline is so realistic looking that it is virtually undetectable that it is not the wearer’s own growing hair.  This is the wig worn by most famous women in Hollywood, the music industry and most models such as, Tyra Banks, Beyonce, Janet Jackson, Oprah and many others.

Q:        What are Bleached Knots? And why do I need it? 

A:        When a dark hair is tied to the base of a lace wig with a knot, you can see a dark dot on the skin, especially when the base is lace. Lace cannot hide the knot in the same way a monofilament base does. Bleached knots usually are only done at the front of the lace wig and it helps create the illusion that your hair is growing out of your head.

Q:        If I buy a wig can I return it if I don’t like it?

A:        No. All sales are final for sanitary reasons. Due to hygiene reasons, lace wigs cannot be resold once they have been worn and the lace has been cut.

Q:        How long can the lace wig last?

A:        Most lace wigs can last 1 to 2 years with proper care.  The most durable lace is French lace which lasts longer than the Swiss lace which is thinner and finer.

Q:        Can I straighten or curl this hair?

A:        Yes, this hair is 100% human hair which reacts same way as your own hair

Q:        What is Remy hair?

A:        Remy hair is a superior human hair grade that is collected from one hair donor. The cuticle layer of the hair remains in tack, therefore the hair is silky soft with a subtle wave pattern. The hair is then hand-tied to a wig in the same direction as it is on a human head. The look of the lace wig is very natural, and easy to manage with proper care.

Q:        Is it okay to get the lace wig wet while swimming?

A:        It is ok for the lace wig to get wet; you can even go swimming with it. Before swimming, please verify that your adhesive is waterproof. Also, do not go swimming until after your application has dried for at least 8 hours. Before swimming, place the hair on the wig in a low ponytail. This will help ensure the hair does not tangle from the chlorine while swimming. After swimming, you may need to wash and condition the wig. WARNING: swim at your own risk as chlorine may have an adverse effect on your wig.

Q:        What color lace is best suited to my skin tone?

A:       The color of lace depends on a lot of factors. First and foremost, the best applications are usually camouflaged by makeup at the hairline and where the hair is parted. This is truly how you get a natural appearance because even though lace blends with the skin, certain lighting conditions can show the lace.

            Most women prefer to get a lace close to their skin tone, this is the best option if you don't want to experiment with using makeup (concealer) to camouflage the lace, then it's best to select a shade that blends with your skin tone. If you plan to use makeup, then you should select a shade close to, or lighter than, your own.

Our standard lace colors are:

·        Transparent: suitable for most complexions

·        Brown: suitable for those with medium brown complexions

·        Light brown: suitable for women with light brown skin

            We also offer dark brown and beige lace, however, if you believe you may need a lace shade we do not normally stock, it is best to submit your photograph, with your custom order, so that our technicians can match the lace to your skin tone.

Q:        Which is better, French or Swiss lace?

A:        It really is a matter of preference. Swiss lace is finer, and more fragile, than French lace.  Swiss lace blends better with the skin for a less visible appearance. French lace is slightly thicker and more durable. Both lace types can be tinted different shades of brown to blend with a variety of complexions.

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

A.       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.
