Wigs are generally differentiated based on the lace used on them. Some wigs have a perforated lace only on the front while others are made entirely using the material.

What is a frontal wig?

 

A frontal wig is also known as lace front wig because of the presence of lace only around the hairline region. The lace is attached along the edges of the wig. The lace front is known to cover only up to 4 inches or 6inches of the depth of the lace on the front part. The lace front is then connected to a thicker base cap that covers the rest of the head. Most of the hair is sewn onto the frontal lace front overcrowding it. This is important because a partition is made easier on wigs only through the lace.

 

 

 

What is a full lace wig?

 

Full lace wigs as you guessed it is made entirely using the lace material. The entire wig base cap comprises of the perforated lace. The hair is distributed evenly on the cap. All of the human hair used in making full lace wigs is hand-knotted into the lace. The wig is made entirely by hand. With the lace being spread evenly at all fronts, you can make a partition anywhere on the wig.

 

 

Differences between frontal and full lace wigs

 

Now that we know what frontal wigs and full lace wigs are, it would be easier to understand the differences between them.

 

  • Breathability

 

Lace consists of numerous small perforations that ensure that your natural hair and scalp get some breathability. With the Frontal wig, this breathability is only experienced around the frontal region. This can also lead to uneven natural hair growth, whereas the full lace wig offers wearers with 100% breathability.

 

  • Realistic appearance

 

The lace on the wigs helps to mimic the look of a natural human scalp. With the gluless frontal lace wigs, you get this authentic look along the front, which is the most prominent part of anyone’s hair. It can be used to deceive viewers easily, but it won’t beat the full lace. With full lace wig, you get a completely natural look. The full lace helps to deceive viewers into thinking that the hair is growing right out of your scalp.

 

  • Wearability

 

The full lace wigs can get a bit difficult to wear for new users. The procedure to wear a frontal wig is however straightforward. 

 

  • Costs

 

Full lace wigs are whole hand made and hence can be expensive for many. Frontal wigs, on the other hand, would be lighter on your pockets.
