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.
First,
let us examine your lifestyle. Questions you will need to answer about
your lifestyle and habit are, Are you moderately active or sedentary?
and How much time are you willing to devote to maintenance and hair
styling? When looking at the various types of lace wigs available, we
become a child in a candy store. During this, habits are forgotten. We
fall in love with a fairy tale of possibilities such as falling in love
with extremely long hair when we will only have time to maintain medium
length hair. Answering these questions help push our desires closer to
practicality.
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 InvisiŽ (made exclusively by
LaceLocs.com). French lace is made with larger squares and a thicker
lace material. Swiss lace is made from a sheer lace material that is
slightly thinner in fabric thickness than French and has smaller
squares. French and Swiss lace are both good for moderate to highly
active lifestyles. Both are great for short term wear. However, French
is recommended for new lace wig wearers and those with rugged hands.
Real InvisiŽ is an ultra sheer lace fabric that is extremely fragile.
Designed for photography sessions and studio lights, next to
Polyurethane (thin skin) wigs, Real InvisiŽ 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.
