Over the years wigs have evolved tremendously. Currently with the newest trend, lace wigs, there are a plethora of options. These options in crafting your lace wig can be cumbersome when you do not take in consideration your life style and habit. There are three hard decisions that need to be made when selecting the best lace wig, bases, hair style and length. This guide makes these options easy.

When looking at the various types of lace wigs available, we become a child in a candy store. During this, habits are forgotten.

The two most common wig bases are lace and polyurethane (thin skin). Lace bases allow the scalp to breath but are delicate. There are three types of lace bases, French, Swiss and Real Invisi® (made exclusively by LaceLocs.com). French lace is made with larger squares and a thicker lace material.

Designed for photography sessions and studio lights, next to Polyurethane (thin skin) wigs, Real Invisi® wigs give a superior appearance of growing directly from the scalp. This lace type is intended for special occasions and not suited for everyday wear.
