Decide what type of wig you need?
Are you looking for a weekend wig? Work wig? Or just not sure. If you’re not sure about a style or color we suggest starting with synthetic Lace Front Wig which can be more affordable. Once you’ve become confident with a look, fit and how to wear lace fronts you can search for more expensive pieces. You can browse hundreds of affordable Lace Front Wigs here on Amazon.
Human or Synthetic wig
Human wigs usually come in more natural shades and can last longer, whereas synthetic units can come in a wider range of colors and generally cost less. Both human and synthetic wigs can last months with the proper care.
Pick a Parting Style
L-Part and C-Part units, like Freetress Danity Lace Front Wig have a small curved parting area shaped like, you guessed it, either an L or a C. Most L part wigs come with a pre plucked, semi realistic part, ready for wear. But, if you are the kind of person who likes to switch up your part from the side, to the middle and back; then you might prefer a unit with 4 by 4 inches of parting space such as Model Model’s FLS11. The choice of parting space is up to you, and lace front wigs come in all varieties.
Choosing between Hard or Soft Lace
There are good things about both hard and soft lace so we recommend that you give them both a try. Hard lace is great for ensuring versatility with your unit because it doesn’t rise up when you want to style it, for example in a top knot. However, soft lace is very comfortable on your edges and if you are going to be wearing wigs daily for an extended period of time could be the right choice for you.
Wait, Will my wig fall off?
Most wigs come with combs in the front and back of the unit, and also adjustable straps so that you can snugly (but not tightly) fit the wig to your head. Unless someone pulls it off, it’s not likely that your wig will slip off completely.
