How to Find Quality Lace Front Wigs?

Lace front wigs have long been popular among the likes of Janet Jackson, Tyra Banks and Beyonce. Lace front closure are becoming increasingly popular for regular folks because they look natural and are very easy to wear. There are generally three options for buying lace front wigs--your stylist, online retailers and your local beauty supply store. Read on to learn how to find quality lace front wigs.

1

Before you buy your glueless lace wig, you will need to measure your head to get the wig with the best fit. All you will need is a tape measure and a steady hand. Pull your hair back or secure it under a stocking cap. Place one end of the tape measure at the front tip of one ear. Carefully extend the tape measure over the top of your head until you reach the tip of your other ear. Keep the tape measure flat; do not allow any slack. A good fit is key when choosing a quality front lace wig. Next, measure the circumference of your head. Start the tape measure at the mid point of your front hairline. Extend the tape measure around your entire head and record the number. Take measurements at least twice for best accuracy. It is also a good idea to take note of the shape of your face. The length and style of your front lace wig should be determined by the shape of your face. For example, square faces are often best complemented by mid-length wigs.

With measurements in hand you are ready to search for a beautiful front lace wig. The Internet is a good place to start. Visit several sites so that you can knowledgeably compare products and prices. Read the fine print. You will want to know if you are purchasing a human hair wig or a synthetic wig. Synthetic hair wigs offer a price advantage over human hair wigs. Still, human hair wigs are appealing because they can be styled with the same hot tools and products you would use on your own hair bundles. Reading the fine print will also help you avoid surprise fees and understand shipping policies. Choose a retailer that offers a hassle-free, money back guarantee; provides responsive, reliable methods of contact for questions or problems; and includes front and back photos of the lace front wig you want to buy.

Keep in mind that your stylist may also be a good resource for front lace wigs. The advantage of working with your stylist to buy a lace front wig is expertise. Your stylist can help you choose the best wig style (long, short, curly, colored) as well as the best wig for your lifestyle. For example, if you want an everyday wig with a natural look that you can wear to work, a quality lace front wig is your best bet. The best lace front wigs are made with Remy hair. Because Remy hair wigs leave the cuticle intact your lace front wig will be less likely to tangle. Look for a stylist that has a solid reputation, listens to you and has a written grievance policy.

Know that your local beauty supply store is a good place to buy quality lace front wigs. The advantage of shopping for a lace front wig in the store is immediacy. In many cases, you can try and buy your wig the same day. Avoid wigs that seem patchy. Pull up wefts of hair all along the wig to be sure that the hair is full and well secured. For the most flexible styling options choose a monofilament wig. Monofilament wigs allow the wearer to part the weave shop anywhere and still sport a natural look. Choose a retailer that offers a wide selection and a no-hassle return policy, and one that understands and can answer questions about lace front wigs and wig care products.

The way to keep synthetic hair tangle free

Synthetic hair contributes to wigs, hairpieces, and extensions at a low cost. However, caring for your new hairpiece or extension is a little different than caring for human hair, especially when it comes to detangling and styling. Without proper care, that lovely style will be a tangled mess. There are a few techniques to keep that hair wearable for a long time.

Instructions:

1 Add the appropriate amount of lace front closure shampoo or mild detergent (specified on the bottle; usually one to two caps) to the basin of cool water. Gently submerge the hairpiece, swishing it slowly and dunking it up and down. Don't rub or scrub, or you'll end up with a tangle beyond saving. You can let the piece soak in the cool water for a few minutes, then rinse gently.

2 Dry your hairpiece, first by holding it over the basin and letting the water drain, then by setting it on a wig form or Styrofoam head and letting the hair sit at room temperature until it is completely dry. Put a few towels under the form to catch the drips. When drying your wig, you can gently blot the hair bundles with a towel, but don't rub or squeeze.

3 Spray a good coat of wig sheen spray over the fibers once the wig is weave shop. This product is silicon based, and will make the hairs a bit more slippery and easy to comb.

4 Use the wide-toothed comb if your wig is a straight or wavy style and, starting at the bottom, gently begin to comb. Work your way up the hairpiece, teasing out any tangles and smoothing the hairs down. Use the wide-toothed comb to groom a curly, short piece as well, reshaping the curls around your fingers as you go. Work on small sections at a time. For a final finish, you can use your fingers to arrange the curls.

5 Wash the synthetic hair gently with mild shampoo, and use a natural-hair-safe silicon spray, if your synthetic hair is attached to your head in loose extensions. Gently comb or finger brush synthetic hair extensions into place.

Tips & Warnings

Synthetic glueless lace wigs can be reset or restyled by spraying them with setting lotion, rolling them, and letting them sit under a dryer on very low heat, or simply at room temperature until they dry completely. Never attempt to comb through spiral curls or dreadlocks of any length. This will destroy the curls or dreads. A qualified wig resetter is the best option for restyling these pieces. If you find a tangle that is completely set in, you can cut into the mat, holding the scissors vertically. It may only take one snip to make the mat removable with the comb.

High heat is a death sentence to synthetic hair. Keep those tresses away from blow dryers, curling irons, and straighteners. Friction is a wig's enemy. Proper storage of your hairpieces is a must. Keeping them on a wig stand is the best; alternatively, you can put them in a cardboard box that is large enough for the wig, but small enough so that the piece doesn't slide around and mat the hairs together.
