Some of the Technical Aspects of Wearing Lace Wigs

Wigs have held their place with various societies for several reasons, and not just for the lack of hair. Wigs have been worn by ancient civilizations dating back to the 16th century.Wigs have been part of our culture and lifestyle for centuries.

Egyptians wore wigs not only for adornment but for reasons of personal hygiene. They would shave their heads to ward off pests such as lice resulting in a wig being a valued necessity. Wigs were also used to create the illusion of having hair in addition to protecting scalps from the intense sun. The British, on the other hand, have trotted in and held high court wearing powdered wigs for centuries. Queen Elizabeth went from a canter to a prance with her elaborately English styled curled wigs. Wigs have evolved quite a bit over the last few centuries, but they are still worn today for some of the same reasons.

Lace wigs are popular amongst the entertainment industry, and are becoming more sought after by people everywhere. These lace wigs are made with a sheer lace that is attached to the front or whole head of the wig, most of the time only in the front. This type of wig creates the illusion of the hair coming straight from your hairline, giving a much more natural appearance. You can drastically change the shape of your face by changing the hairline, the very reason why they're used in motion pictures as well as the theatre. Distinct characters can be created simply by using this technique with lace wigs too.

Glues and tapes are used to secure the placement of the lace front wig and full lace wig. I'd steer away from this technique if you are wearing lace wigs on a regular basis. The glues and tape can have adverse effects on the skin as well as the solvents used to remove the glue if not used properly. Some people can be allergic to glues and tape, causing unnecessary problems when a plain wig not requiring any adhesives could work.

Lace wigs have served women well during their career. they have used lace wigs to create new looks for clients who are desiring a bold or immediate change for a role, or someone just wanting a fresh new look for the season. Over these many years, the progression of lace wigs have taken on very believable appearances, not just lace front wigs. The quality of hair, color, density and fit all play an important role in wearing a lace wig properly. One of these elements missing could result in bad experience.

The fit of the lace wig is crucial. I can't count the amount of times that I have seen lace wigs worn that aren't properly fitted. You could get away with sacrificing the quality of hair, and having a good fit rather than the reverse. Wearing a lace wig to sport a short hairstyle screams for a good fit, otherwise all you're doing is mimicking a bad toupee. Let us be honest, we have all witnessed this scenario.

In order to get the ultimate fit, your head is measured and a mold is created from the measurements taken. Your hairline is drawn onto the mold to give the lace wig designers exact detail of your hairline pattern. This is an essential phase when designing a believable, natural looking lace wig and the reason why custom lace wigs are so pricey. It is the attention to detail. Some lace wigs from a price point of under a hundred dollars to $12,00.

There is a lot less elasticity or sometimes none at all in the foundation of a custom lace wig. The reason being is that it has been made just for you and you only. Whether your wig is custom or bought over the counter, make sure that the fit works for your head shape and size. We want to avoid a "now you see it, now you don't" incident at any cost. Trust me.

The quality of hair used in a lace wig will make a substantial difference in the style that you want to achieve. There are numerous hair textures to select from including Malaysian, Indian, Chinese, Italian, European, Brazilian hair...

Human hair that hasn't had chemicals applied and the cuticle is still intact is called "Virgin hair" or "remy hair". This choice of hair will be a bit pricey, but will also have more versatility if a color change is needed. With synthetic wigs, you usually are stuck with what you bought in regards to color. There are ways to dye synthetic wigs, but it can be tricky and I wouldn't suggest attempting to do so. It would be well advised to make sure you choose the color that you want when purchasing anything less than human hair. Some human hair wigs can give you a problem with a color change too. You don't always know for sure what has been done to the color of the wig before you buy it. In some cases, trying to change to a color other than going darker could be a problem, and ruin the quality of the hair. More often than not, retailers will suggest that you don't change the color of the wig, because they can't guarantee the hair quality after dying the lace wig, and do not want to be responsible for the results of your efforts.

Creating a proper foundation to attach the lace wig to is of the upmost important. Sometimes it takes more than a wig cap to accomplish a smooth, flat effect that allows the lace wig to have the shape of perfection. Wrapping your hair and braiding are a couple methods of achieving the right foundation, unless your hair is extremely short. If that is the case, sometimes only a wig cap is necessary. Always protect your hair as much as possible while wearing lace wigs. It is easy for your hair to suffer damage if hair isn't properly prepped, especially if you wear lace wigs frequently.

I have taken you through some of the technical aspects of wearing a lace wig. My advice is to make the best choice that you can when selecting a lace wig that will suit your needs using my suggestions. We're all illusionists to some extent, whether it's through fashion, color trends, hair, makeup, or undergarments. It's the ones that do it well, that set themselves apart from others. Lace wigs are among the masters of illusion. Lace wigs can give you the leverage to reinvent, play, imagine, disguise or even flirt. And why not? That's what lace wigs were made for
