Lace wig and lace front: what is the difference?
A lace front has a section of lace at the front of the cap. “Lace wig” is a broader term for a wig incorporating lace, with coverage varying by model. Look underneath the piece to identify its materials.
Human or synthetic hair: attachment depends first on the cap’s construction. Hair type then determines the care routine.
Does every lace front need glue?
No. A “glueless” wig is designed to stay in place without adhesive, using its fit and built-in attachment features. Follow the method intended for your model.
If bonding is intended, ask your specialist to identify the area. Check the hairline placement from the front and in profile before application.
Which adhesive should you choose for your wig?
Take these three details to your wig fitter or hair replacement specialist:
- The material to be bonded: lace, polyurethane or a combination base.
- Your wearing routine: frequent removal or a salon-maintained attachment.
- The removal and cleaning method intended for that base.
Applying LX adhesive: guidance from the label
Made in France, LX adhesive 40 ml is labelled “Lace & Poly”. It is applied to the scalp to attach hair prostheses, according to the construction of the piece.
- Carry out the preliminary skin test and prepare a healthy, thoroughly cleaned and dry scalp.
- Apply thin layers. The label allows up to 3 layers with a minimum drying time of 5 minutes; the adhesive turns clear as it dries.
- For the first 48 hours after attachment: do not swim or shampoo, and avoid excessive perspiration.
How do you remove adhesive without pulling the lace?
Ask your specialist to explain the removal method suited to your attachment. Do not pull on the lace to take the wig off.
After removal, LX remover is used to clean residue from the scalp. For the wig base, use a cleaner compatible with its materials: the scalp and lace need different care.
