Understanding the terminology used in the world of wigs can be tricky for newcomers. Full lace wigs and lace front wigs, though existing for ages, can still confuse users with the definition and differences.

After tons of message from our new partners regarding these two items, we decided to make it clear once and for all.

What’s more, we are happy to introduce our collection of wigs for lovely ladies to wear this time of the year.

The difference between full lace wigs and lace front wigs

There are many differences between full lace wigs and lace front wigs.

The base

The base is the most fundamental thing to differentiate full lace wigs from lace front wigs. In this case, the name tells it all. Lace front wigs don’t come with full lace. These items feature only a part of lace covering the front area of the head.

The lace covering area is around 3*12 inch, from ear to ear.

On the other hand, full lace wigs offer a whole flimsy layer of lace. The lace comes from the front part down to the rear end of your entire head. The coverage is much more extensive compared to lace front wigs.

The construction

The construction of the wig is also what distinguishes these two products.

Full lace wigs come with a total lace base. However, there is more than a bare lace to cover your head. A full lace wig cap also features an elastic cap in the middle. Two wig combs are attached at the sides near ears so that you can secure the wig into your hair.

At the rear part, there comes an adjustable strap for those who don’t feel comfortable with the default size.

Lace front wigs adopt the same construction. The only difference is that lace front wigs feature a rear weft. The weft stretches from the end of the lace until the bottom of the wig.

Take a look at the picture below. You will understand more.

The middle and the third wigs from the right are lace front.

The price

Because of the construction, the price between lace front wigs and full lace wigs is different. To attach hair into the weft, it requires the help of machines. That is why lace front wigs are typically cheaper than full lace wigs.

These products are suitable for ladies who don’t want to overspend for hair accessories. What’s more, lace front wigs are not compatible with some certain hairstyles, so fans of these items don’t require stylish styles.

The pros and cons of full lace wigs and lace front wigs

Flexibility

Both full lace wigs and lace front wigs can be very flexible to wear. The natural hairline allows users to part almost anywhere they want. While lace front wigs offer limited hairstyles, with full lace wigs, you can nail practically all styles.

Price

Lace front and full lace wigs offer thorough coverage compared to other types of hair accessories. When you weigh the price and making cost, you will see that wigs are much more affordable than saying hair toppers.

Of course, the initial price of hair toppers is always cheaper. However, we are talking about the coverage here!

As we mention above, you pay a little less for lace front than full lace. The construction of these items is the main reason.

Light and natural

The amazing thing is, even though a wig features so many things, it is super lightweight. When you wear a wig, regardless of full lace or lace front, you don’t feel like putting a rock above your head. You certainly can carry a wig through the day with ease.

Moreover, the natural hairline and quality of human hair will make the wig looks like your existing hair. No one will ever notice that you are actually putting a fake hair over your head.  It’s you yourself who has to say “wow” after placing the wig on, isn’t it?

Application

The great news is wig application is simple and easy to follow. You may need help from wig glue to secure the lace around your head, but you can also wear wigs gluelessly.
