Types of Laces for wigs

    There are different kind of lace we can use to create a wig. Everything depends on out taste and of course on what it is going to be used for. As for example, for a film, the lace of the vig is going to be uch moe thinner in order that even if it's filmed in HD you cannot see it. In this blog post I will analyze different types of lace there are for making a wig:


  1.     Opera Lace-  This lace is used for wigs that are worn for stage plays or operas. This lace is 2 times thicker that a film lace and it is perfect to make very strong wig foundation.







  2. Silky Gauze Base- Wig- making foundation used to create natural parts in a wig cap and silk base closures. The foundation of this lace is soft, silky and delicate.



   3.  Monofilament lace - Wig foundation material used to make custom hair pieces and wig pieces.
  4. Stretch wig foundation- This is used in custom wigs creations. It can be used to create a stretch wig cap in the back with lace in the front, or added arround the ears or in the crown area for flexibility when creating custom lace wig cap.

5.  Natrice- It is delicate, thin and flexible. It is usual natural/beige color. Considered as a wig-maker's favourite.
6.  French lace- It is a great choice when creating a wig foundation. It is very durable and allows your hair to breath. It appears invisible on the front hairline when adhesive is applied. If it's matched properly with the models skin-tone it can be virtually undetectable.
 7. German lace - It is basically the strongest lace.
8. Swiss lace- is a very fine lace usually of a beige colour and looks very natural.
9. Film lace- lace that is usually used to create wigs that are used in films and movies. This lace is literally very thin. Perfect to use in front of a camera. Also great to make temporary beards, moustaches or eyebrows.
And it is not only about the thickness but also you have to be aware of the colour of the model's skin, because you have to use the appropriate colour of lace:

    The Wig Department.com has all kinds of lace for wig making. the shipping will be a tad bit pricey since it is based in the UK but the shipping was really fast and the lace is amazing. Not like the stuff you see on amazon. You should really check them out.
