What Lace Front Wigs Are the Best to Wear?

Lace front wigs are popular for their ability to create a natural-looking hairline thanks to the sheer lace at the front of the wig, mimicking hair growing from the scalp. Unlike full lace wigs, which have lace throughout the entire cap, lace front wigs only feature lace at the front, allowing for more affordability while still providing a realistic look.

Different types of Lace Front Wigs 

To determine what lace front wigs are the best to wear, it’s important to identify the different types of lace fronts. Lace fronts may vary depending on the wig. Find the lace front wig that works best for you from mini lace fronts that add a touch of realism where your hair parts to ear-to-ear lace fronts that offer a natural off-the-face look.

Mini Lace Front. Wigs with a mini lace front feature a small, triangle- or half-moon-shaped lace section positioned at the hairline where the hair parts. This design allows you to style the hair away from your face, giving it a natural-looking appearance.

Traditional Lace Front. This is the most common type of lace front across wig brands. Laying across the middle of the forehead, the traditional lace front allows you to style the hair off the face while still looking realistic. 

Temple-to-Temple Lace Front. This type of lace front is another common feature amongst wig brands. The lace stretches across the entire forehead to create a natural hairline along the front of the wig. 

Extended Lace Front. Wigs with extended lace fronts are great for those who like to wear their hair in updos or half-dos. The lace runs across the forehead and extends down to the front of the ear tabs. 

Ear-to-Ear Lace Front. An ear-to-ear lace front is similar to the extended lace front. The long lace piece runs along the front of the wig - stretching across the forehead and connecting to the ear tabs. The hair is hand tied into lace, giving the wearer the added benefit of a seamless hairline that blends into the forehead and temples. 

Comfort Lace Front. The Comfort Lace Front is a unique feature found on select wigs in Ellen Wille’s collection. The dual-layer construction provides durability and comfort. The first layer is made with standard lace while the second layer is a thin piece of Swiss lace that feels soft against the skin. Ideal for those with sensitive skin. 

Uncut Lace Front.  Unlike the previous lace fronts mentioned above, the uncut lace front is the only one that’s not ready to wear. They are designed for clients who like to customize the length of the lace front for their wig. Please Note: If you do want to customize a wig, we recommend taking it to a salon professional to prevent damage to the product.

Final Thoughts

When deciding what lace front wigs are the best to wear for your needs, it's important to consider the different options available to match your lifestyle. If you're looking for a convenient, low-maintenance style, a mini lace front or temple-to-temple lace front wig is a great choice, offering a natural look with minimal effort. For versatile styling, such as pulling the hair away from the face, extended lace fronts and ear-to-ear lace fronts provide more flexibility for updos and off-the-face styles.
