A wig is a head covering made from human hair, synthetic fiber, or animal hair. It’s worn for fashion or other reasons, including cultural tradition and religious observance. The word “wig” is short for periwig and first appeared in the English language in 1675.
Some people wear wigs to disguise baldness; a wig may be used as a less intrusive and less expensive alternative to medical therapies for restoring hair. Wigs may also be used as an article of apparel, or to fulfill a religious obligation. Actors often wear costume wigs in order to portray characters. Human hair wig is the most expensive because it is comfortable to wear and looks natural. There are lace front wigs, full lace wigs, silk top wigs and traditional wigs.
Now we will talk about one of the most popular wigs, lace wigs:
A lace wig or a lace front wig is a special type of hairpiece or wig designed with a sheer lace base. Lace front wigs are made with real human hair or synthetic hair is which tied by hand, to a sheer lace base. Lace front wigs have replaced the traditional beauty supply regular wigs. They look very natural & are designed from a special lace material that allows the wig to blend in with your skin when properly applied. The hair is hand tied to the lace material which makes the wig appear that it is growing from your scalp. The wig have the versatility to be worn in hairstyles including updo ponytails.Full lace wigs may have a base made entirely of lace while the more common tactic is a lace front wig which has the sheer lace only at the front where the hairline is visible. The remainder of the wig is made out of a less fragile material which is less susceptible to ripping or tearing than the lace. Full lace wigs can be pulled into a high ponytail and up-do’s, as opposed to lace front wigs. The lace is only in the front half of the wig, to allow the customer to part the hair any way he or she wants. If a lace front wig is pulled into a ponytail it will be obvious that it is a wig.
The lace wig is usually attached with the assistance of glues and tapes, which are applied to the front hairline area. Once the glue has dried, the front lace portion of the wig is affixed to the area where the glue has been applied on the hairline, creating a tight bond which keeps the lace wig in place on the head. Some lace wigs also have what is referred to as “baby hair” around the temple areas which are used to cover up any visible signs of lace on the forehead, and the baby hair also helps to create a realistic hairline. Once applied the lace front wig will usually stay bonded for up to a week.

Wigs have really advanced over the years. I can remember a time when wigs did not look as natural, but now they blend into hair very naturally. I like the versatility a wig provides. For example, I have long hair, but I have been wanting to try a shorter haircut with highlights. I found the perfect wig at a beauty supply store that is exactly the look I am going for, and the best part is that I can keep changing the look by getting a new wig. Thanks for sharing!
