In the broadest sense, there are two types of wigs you can choose from. You can either get full lace wigs or lace front wigs. The names sound similar, but they have very different benefits. Neither is specifically better than the other, so it all depends on what you’re looking for. This guide will help you understand the difference and to choose the right one.

What is a Lace Front Wig?

This type of wig uses a sheer lace attachment near the front of the wig. Either natural or synthetic hair is tied to this front lace layer. You can easily style and part this lace section while the rest of the wig’s hair is attached to stiffer and more durable material.

What is a Full Lace Wig?

This wig only uses lace in the cap. This means that the entire wig can be parted and styled instead of just the front. You can wear the hair however you like, but the lace material is more susceptible to damage than the stiffer material used with lace front wigs.

When to Wear a Lace Front Vs Full Lace

This is largely a question of style versus durability. A lace front wig is significantly more durable. Most of the wig cap is made from durable material that can withstand wind, tugging and overall damage. A full lace wig may not be as durable, but you can style every part of the wig.

How Long Can You Wear Each?

This depends on so many variables. As a guideline, it’s best to wear a wig for six weeks at the longest before changing the adhesive. This depends on the adhesive you use as some might only last a week or two while others can last longer. In terms of overall longevity, it depends on what the hair is made from.

With proper care, synthetic wigs will last about one year or so while natural wigs can last up to three years in general. Lace front wigs use a more durable cap and will likely last somewhat longer, but it mostly comes down to whether the hair is natural or synthetic, what adhesive you use and if the wig is properly cared for.

Styling: Full Vs Lace Front Wigs

You can creatively style both wigs. When it comes to full lace wigs, you can make any style you want. You can part the hair from any side or angle. You can even wear the wig in a ponytail and it will look completely natural. You can treat this like your own hair.

A lace front wig has some restrictions, but you can still make great styles. You have the most freedom near the front. The lace section allows you to style the hair however you’d like. The other sections aren’t quite as dynamic, but you can still make natural and creative styles that flow beautifully with your face.

Both lace front and full lace wigs are amazing because they allow you to wear lovely hair with creative styles. You’ll find that lace front wigs are more durable while full lace wigs allow for more style options.
