Lacefront Hair Wigs Style Alternatives
Lacefronts wigs are now being used by everyone who want another alternative to creating temporary unique hair styles that they would not otherwise want to take a risk with on their own hair. Lacefronts were originally created for cancer patients and women who were going bald. It has always been used in the entertainment industry and among drag queens.
Lace fronts are really a more sophisticated type of wig that have a small piece of mesh attached to the front which you would attach to your head with either double sided tape or glue. Doing this gives the illusion of a seamless hairline. If you chose to have one custom made, typically individual human hair is pulled through the lace to give a more realistic look.
“Unlike a weave, you can get more versatility out of a lace front wig,” says Ellin LaVar, the star of her own show on WE, ‘Hair Trauma.’
Most custom lacefronts are made with the most expensive hair (Remi Hair) and can cost anywhere up to $16,000. A typically custom good lacefront ranges from $2,000-$3,000.
If your interested in having a lacefront applied to your hair, make sure you go to a experienced stylist to have it correctly applied. Lacefronts cannot be applied by a non professional as they need to blend in with the skin.
A great alternative to lacefronts are cheaper wigs and remi weaves and extensions. You may not get all the benefits of a lacefront wig, but they are also great for creating various hair styles.
