Most lace wigs are constructed using Swiss lace,HD lace and stretch lace.

1.Swiss lace

Swiss lace is the most widely used lace type for wigs.

Transparent lace is the actual color that particular lace comes in,

this color is very good for very fair -light skin toned persons.

If you are darker than fair,

then you will need a lace that is colored already to your skin tone ( Light brown, Med brown and dark brown).

2.HD Lace (Film lace)

HD lace has been around for very long time,and it’s been used in theater and films,

so a lot of people may call it Film lace.

put it up against your skin and you’ll see how amazing,it virtually disappears on any skin.

if you use an adhesive on this,it would completely disappear.

so more and more African american women like HD lace frontal wigs and 5×5 HD lace closure wigs.

but the only drawback is that HD lace is so fragile,so be sure to treat it gently.

if you take care it properly, it can last you over a year for sure.

3.Stretch Lace

it is typically used around the nape band area, in the crown and maybe up at the top.

two of our lace wig cap constructions contain stretch lace,

one is glueless full lace cap,it’s easy to use and remove.

so you can take it off every day and let your hair and scalp breathe.

the breathable stretch lace on back of glueless cap is also attractive for hot summer day.

the other is silk top glueless cap,

a 4×4 Silk top wig will always look more natural than lace wig

because it doesn’t have the grid lines…silk look like scalp.

4. Opera Lace (french lace)

this is an opera lace,a lot of people may call this french lace.

that is typically used on the back part of the wig.

but this is not to be used on a closure,frontal or anything in the front part of the wig,

because it is so thick.

if the concealer got stuck in the thick lace,giving it a chunky, uneven tone.
