[L10]Lace Front Hair Pieces

by Hassan, Has

The use of ?Lace Front? pieces for the Ulitimate Hair Lineappearance has gone from Broadway to Hollywood and is now found all over thestreets, in offices, clubs and the super market. Available in a variety ofhair types, lengths and colors a weak or damaged front hair line can now bereplaced with a virtually undetectable hair line of natural human hair tied(ventilated) into a fine ?theatrical? lace that once attached using a specialadhesive will disappear on the skin and the hair will easily blend into theexisting hair.

This technique for creating a ?New? hair line has for themost part been available only to those in the film industry and a few who mayhave had a connection to a wig maker. It's an effective and easy way togive one a new hair line without surgery or wearing a wig. There has been a huge resurgence of the use of lace fronts due tothe popularity of their use by such celebrities as Beyonce and TyraBanks. The lace fronts usually are about 10? to 11? wide and anywherefrom 1? to 3? deep and are placed from temple to temple across the front hairline. The lace is attached to the skin with the use of a liquid adhesivethat is safe for use on the skin it goes on clear and dries clear. Oncethe adhesive is dry the lace disappears on the skin and can then be touched upwith a small amount of makeup to blend into the skin. The hair that istied into the lace can then be styled into the existing hair.

Another use for the lace front that was taken from thetheatre and film industry is to apply the front to an existing wig. Thelace fronts can be purchased over the internet and then sewn onto the front ofwig to give a full wig a very natural looking hair line and allowing the wearerto style their hair off the face, something that would not be possible with atypical wig. With this application the hair is contained in a wig cap,the wig is placed over the wig cap and the lace adhesive is applied to the skinat the hair line. It's best to let the adhesive dry slightly beforeplacing the lace onto the adhesive. A good tip for setting the lace intothe adhesive is to press the lace into the adhesive with a piece of nylonstocking this will assure the lace is properly set, smooth and with no bits oflint.

The new mainstream use of the lace front has brought a wholenew dimension to the beauty industry and a wonderful new option for those withproblematic hair lines allowing anyone to look and feel like a star.

There are several in the market and each has it's own properties that make it special but there are some created names out there so it is wise to know what you really want.

Fine Welded Mono Lace: Probably one of the most popular due to it's durability yet it still has a very nice finished look for the client who just wants a natural front in case the wind blows. Fine Welded Mono is an open weave nylon monofilament material that is literally welded using an ultrasonic welder at each point where two strands of the monofilament meet. This method makes the material very strong which helps with fraying along the edge. Fine Welded Mono Lace can be easily heat set and requires no tailoring or darting to maintain its shape and holds up very well. The down side to the material is that it is stiff and for some it can be uncomfortable or scratchy and it doesn't have as fine an appearance for those wanting to wear their hair back exposing the hair line. However for anyone with NON sensitive skin or if you just want the immediate look to be natural but don't have the front hair line completely exposed 100% of the time, this is a great way to go.

French Lace: Used for many years in the theatrical world, French Lace gives a very natural look for the front hair line as well as for the body of a . French Lace is soft to the touch and very flexible. The down side to French Lace is that it is a bit delicate and requires care when wearing a system with this material. It is usually advised that the front edge of a French Lace system be scalloped or Pinked with a pinking shear to help minimize and delay fraying. During the course of wear the front edge can be cut back as it frays up to the hair line with no problem. Bases made of this material are also more delicate so care should be given when brushing and combing the hair to avoid catching the material in the brush or comb causing the base to tear.

Swiss Lace or Swiss Net: This is really the ultimate lace material. It is very fine in appearance and when applied to the skin literally disappears. Swiss Net is more expensive than French Lace so it is often promoted but just as often substituted with French Lace. Unfortunately consumers who don't really know the difference cannot tell if they have Real Swiss Lace or its less expensive counter part, but seeing the two materials together you will see the differences quite clearly. The main difference is its more transparent look and it is a bit finer, therefore more delicate than French Lace but the finished look is truly the ultimate for Lace Materials.
