Lace Front vs Full Lace Wigs: Find Your Match

Not sure which lace construction is right for you? This quick guide breaks down lace front and full lace wigs side by side, so you can shop with confidence.

Construction at a glance

  • Lace front: a sheer lace panel runs along the front hairline (common sizes are 13x4 and 13x6) and the rest of the cap is wefted. You get a natural-looking hairline exactly where it shows most.
  • Full lace: the entire cap is lace with each strand hand-tied, so the base moves and parts like a natural scalp all over. A 360 lace design wraps lace around the whole perimeter as a happy medium.

Parting and styling

  • Lace front: part freely anywhere across the front lace panel. Perfect for wearing your hair down, deep side parts, and face-framing styles.
  • Full lace: part anywhere on the cap and style high ponytails, buns, braids, and updos with a natural look from every angle.

Density, made simple

  • 150 to 180%: light, natural fullness for easy everyday wear.
  • 200 to 250%: fuller volume with thicker ends, a favorite for longer lengths.
  • 300% and up: maximum volume for statement looks. Curly and wavy textures naturally appear fuller, so you can often size down.

Which one is right for you?

  • Choose lace front if you want a realistic hairline, low-maintenance everyday wear, and a friendlier price point.
  • Choose full lace if you love switching up your part and wearing updos, high ponytails, or braided styles.
