Lace-base material best wig choice

You can go to any beauty professional or a beauty supply store and purchased what are call stock wigs.

Before choosing a wig or weave, you should always take into consideration, what is the purpose of the wig or weave? Is it to cover bald spots, or a full head.

You should note, that the type of base is more important than the type of hair style. When choosing the cap for a wig, the weight, size, and the stretch of the material is very important. The material could be made up of lace, net or stocking and each serve a different purpose.

If you use a net, it can sometime be hard, and this would not be appropriate for someone losing their hair, therefore soft nets are better.

Stocking caps are also soft and can cover the entire scalp and are excellent for short hair styles, once the right style is chosen.

Soft nets are not the best choice for long hair styles, all because of the weight of the hair, it can get holes making it less durable, and it would be a short-term. The way forward, is for the net to last longer, but if not done well, it can cause more hair loss and breakage as well as traction alopecia.

Lace-base material is the best choice, mostly for thinning hair, because it is light and breathable.

Lace base is easy for ventilating.

In addition, the method used for stitching or gluing the hair on to the wig cap is very durable. It is most effective for persons who are experiencing thinning hair.

When the front of a wig is partially ventilated, it is called a lace-front wig, while others that are fully ventilated are called full-lace wigs.

These wigs look most natural and are very light in weight, so they do not cause traction of the hair from the scalp.Full-lace wigs can be customised to suit your needs.

There are many different types of base, the most popular is the monofilament but there is also the French lace and Swiss lace. The specialist will make the decision on which type of base material is best suited to give you the best outcome. Heavy lace material is more durable than fine lace, but it can be more detectable.

Lace wigs can be attached to skin or hair carefully, removed easily for washing and installed again.

These wigs can last for nine to 18 months, if cared for properly. They can be repaired and can be made from many different types of hair for styling.

The cost of a wig may vary considerably, as it all depends on the quality of human hair, the base material and the methods of application.

Some wigs are hand-made with a few strands of hair at a time, that’s the highest quality. Some are sewn on a weft before application.

These are the lower cost ones, as companies are experimenting with synthetic fibres. Note that there are synthetic wigs that look like natural hair, but they are not.

A consultation is always the best way to go before making a big change in hairstyle.

You should always consider your hair and scalp when making a decision to have wig or weave application, to be certain that your hair and scalp will not be damaged when the accessory is being removed.
