What is a lace front wig?
One of the most common questions I get from people who get acquainted with wigs is: “What is a lace front wig, Tommy? And how is it different from a regular wig?”
After more than 10 years of working with salons, distributors, and hair stylists all over the world, I usually explain it like this:
A lace front wig is a wig that has a thin, transparent lace section that extends from ear to ear. This lace allows the hair to blend into the scalp in a very natural way, giving the impression that the hair is growing out of the scalp.
Who can use lace frontal wigs?
Lace front wigs can be used by anyone because of their versatility and the natural look. Whether you are a celebrity, a person looking for a different style, or facing hair loss, lace front wigs are the perfect solution for you.
At Govihair, we offer high-quality lace front wigs that are smooth, easy to style, and look natural like real hair. With a variety of colors, sizes, and styles, you can easily find the proper style for your personality and needs. I often advise beginners:
- If you are just starting out: choose a 5×5 or 13×4 lace closure wig – easy to wear, easy to maintain.
- If you are a stylist or want to be creative with your hairstyle: choose a 13×6 lace front – more parting area.
- Hair density: 150%–180% is ideal for both thick and beautiful, natural.

Lace front wig and Regular wig: Which One is better?
How A Lace Front Wigs Is Made
Front lace wigs have a thin lace section at the front hairline, extending from ear to ear. It creates the effect of a natural – looking hairline and allows flexible parting at the front of the head. The remaining hair is often sewn onto an elastic mesh or breathable fabric which hugs the head and feels lightweight.
On the contrary, conventional wigs have a simple structure with all the hair sewn onto a fabric cap or mesh. Therefore, the hairline is often less natural and does not allow for parting.
Types of Wig Caps Explained
Lace front wigs use a cap with a design that combines lace and elastic mesh to help the hair look natural. The hair hugs the head firmly, the mesh is breathable and comfortable to wear all day.
In contrast, regular wigs often use a cap made entirely of fabric or mesh, making the cap more closed, causing heat or stuffiness to the scalp if you use it for a long time.

What Materials Your Wigs Made Of?
There are 2 types of materials: Human Hair Wigs and Synthetic Wigs
Lace front human Hair Wigs which are made from 100% natural human hair. This type of material gives a soft and realistic-looking real hair. You can curl, straighten, color or style them as you like without worrying about damage.
Besides that is Synthetic Wigs which are made from high-quality synthetic fibers. Synthetic hairs have good hold and always keep their in shape with a variety of fashionable styles and colors. Although not as flexible as real hair, it is cheaper and more convenient.
When choosing the right lace, it’s important to consider your skin tone and region:
European Customers (EU):
Go for HD lace or HD Swiss lace – these are ultra-thin, light in color, and blend seamlessly into lighter skin tones. They offer the most natural “scalp-like” appearance.
African Customers:
Transparent lace is a great choice – it’s durable, affordable, and works well with darker skin tones. It’s widely preferred in African regions due to its practicality and price point.

How Long Do Lace Front Wigs Last?
The lifespan of a lace front wig is determined by the hair materials and how it is cared for.
Human Hair Lace Front Wigs can last from 6 months to 1 year +, even up to 2 years with proper care. Because of real hair, they allow for heat styling, coloring, and everyday wear. But they also require regular washing, conditioning, and gentle treatment to maintain their natural look.
Synthetic Lace Front Wigs typically last 2 to 6 months with moderate use. Synthetic fibers hold hair well and require less maintenance, but are less durable and less heat-resistant.
Wig pricing
The prices of frontal wigs range from $150 – $500, depending on many factors such as hair material, thickness, length, etc.
At Govihair, you can own a lace front wig for only $21 with Vietnamese human hair material which is famous for its smoothness and softness.

Disadvantages of lace front wigs
Some common problems when using lace front wigs that users often encounter include:
- Sensitive scalp
- Wig that does not fit the head size
- Improper use or removal
People who are undergoing medical treatment or taking heavy medication often have more sensitive scalps, which are easily irritated by hard or rough materials. Experts recommend choosing specialized medical wigs suitable for sensitive scalps for these people.
How to put on a lace front wig
Choosing the wrong size wig can negatively affect the feeling when using it. A wig that is too small will put pressure on your real hair, leading to scalp pain and damage to the hair roots. On the contrary, if it is too large, the front edge of the wig will easily protrude, making it unnatural and causing uncomfortable friction. Therefore, measuring and choosing the right size is an extremely important step.
Many users choose glue or tape to fix the wig more firmly. However, using it incorrectly can cause serious consequences such as hair loss, scalp irritation or even damage to hair follicles. Remember the following points:
- Avoid applying glue or tape directly to real hair, as this can cause hair to be pulled out or damaged when removed.
- Do not remove the wig until the glue has completely softened, to avoid pain and damage to the scalp.
How to take care of and maintain a lace front wig
To keep your lace front wig soft and long-lasting, proper care is important. Here are some important tips to help you maintain the quality and beauty of your wig:
- Brush regularly: Brush your wig several times a day to avoid tangles.
- Clean regularly: Wash your wig weekly or bi-weekly with a wig shampoo, especially if you wear it daily.
- Use specialized products: Use shampoos and conditioners specifically designed for wigs, especially ones that are paraben-free or sulfate-free.
- Moisturize your hair: Maintain moisture by applying a wig conditioner to reduce dryness and prolong the life of your wig.
- Never shower or wash your hair while wearing a lace front wig. Steam and strong water currents can cause the lace to stretch, damaging the bond structure and causing the fragile hair fibers to break easily. To clean properly, remove the wig and wash gently in the sink or bathtub, using warm water and specialized cleaning products specifically designed for wigs. This will not only protect the hair structure but also keep the wig clean and beautiful over time.
