At Afrodite we often have enquiries from customers who are looking for a full remy hair wig or a human hair lace front who are not really sure of the difference between them and would like an explanation so that they could understand more clearly.
Lace wigs come in many differing types, but the principal difference is between full wigs& lace front wigs (sometimes called a front lace wig).
Full Lace Wigs
A full lace is constructed from a cap that covers the whole head and the 100% human hair is knotted into this by hand. On standard remy wigs there is a strip of stretch over the top of the crown to allow for movement such as hair growth underneath and for variations in head size. However, if you have a full made to measure for you, this is not so vital and so the entire cap can be made from lace. This will mean that you are able to create a parting anywhere that you want, or you may wear the hair up at the back in an updo without detection that you are wearing a wig.
Lace Front Wigs
A lace front (this could be a human hair front wig, synthetic front wigs, silky straight lace front human hair wig, yaki straight front human hair wig, bodywave front human hair wig etc), has that is usually 2 - 3 inches wide at the front, and the back of the wig is constructed like a traditional wig with machine sewed wefts of hairs sewn into strips of fabric, typically netting. Lace front wigs are usually glued at the front and have straps that can be tightened at the back and combs at the sides to fix them securely to the head.
Styling
Both types of wigs can come with 100% natural remy human hair or synthetic fibre, although the costs involved in the manufacture normally preclude the use of synthetic hair in full. The style can be silky straight, yaki straight wig, kinky straight or allthe curls that you would expect such as bodywave lace wigs, deep wave, or water wave lace wigs.
Footnote - Remy hair
In addition, a full lace remy hair or a front remy wig has hair that is always laid in the same direction, from root to tip, and this helps to avoid tangling as the cuticles in the hair are always aligned correctly just as it was before being cut from the donor.
