If you’re looking for a wig for a costume, a cosplay, or even just to wear for everyday use, you’ve likely heard the term ‘lace front wig’ before. With a wide variety of wigs on the market and available from many different sources, it can be overwhelming to learn about all of them, but lace front wigs are one you should pay attention to! Because they’re so versatile and so comfortable, many people will argue that lace front wigs are superior to others and at The Life of the Party, we agree!

What is a Lace Front Wig?
A lace front wig is a type of wig that has a thin, mesh ‘lace’ at the hairline that rests on the wearer’s forehead, or the front of the wig. This lace not only impacts how comfortable the wig is to wear, it also impacts the overall final look of the wig once it’s installed. The reason why lace front wigs are so popular is because the lightweight look and feel of the lace makes the wig feel better and look more natural once installed.

Styling & Versatility
Depending on the type of lace front wig you find, you can customize the lace to fit your face and head shape better, or you can even wear it as-is! Some lace front wigs come with a wide lace that requires a little more work to customize, but many people choose this option so they can truly fit their wig to their needs. Once your wig is installed, you’ll find that the comfort lends itself to styling so you don’t have to worry about styling before the wig is in place. Additionally, because lace front wigs are durable, you can restyle them for different cosplay looks, making them a versatile investment.

Finding Your Lace Front Wig
Of course, one of the most important parts of getting your lace front wig is finding the right style and color for your needs and your budget! Whether you’re looking for a seasonal costume wig or a cosplay competition-ready wig, The Life of the Party has a wide selection of wigs in different styles, colors, and lengths, all with lace fronts!

Caring For Your Wig
Of course, once you’ve found your lace front wig, you’ll want to be sure to care for it properly so it lasts through wear and tear and stores well. When you’re installing your wig, be sure to use wig-specific products and avoid heat styling if the hair on the wig is synthetic. Once you’re finished wearing the wig for your cosplay, be sure to wash it before storing it for the next cosplay event! Use a gentle shampoo that’s formulated specifically for wig washing so that you don’t damage the hair fibers, the lace, or the cap inside the wig, either. If you’d like to learn more about how to care for your wig, The Life of the Party blog features an article on How To Choose & Care For a Wig, or you can ask us in person when you purchase your lace front wig in-store.
