Types of Lace Wigs Explained: A Simple UK Guide
Wig terminology becomes clearer when you separate the cap construction from the lace description and the fitting method.
Compare the lace area
A closure covers a smaller area; a frontal extends across the front; a 360 design has lace around the perimeter; full lace uses lace across the base. Individual dimensions and details vary.
Check what you will actually use
More parting space may help with a particular hairstyle, but it also needs suitable care. Read the specific cap information and avoid assuming every construction supports an exposed nape or high updo. Product examples below are current options to inspect, not a complete list of every type explained here.
Construction, lace and fastening describe different things
HD or transparent describes a lace characteristic; full lace and lace front describe construction; glueless describes a fitting approach. These terms are not mutually exclusive product categories. A particular design can combine several of them. Read the cap specification and images together, and check the selected product rather than assuming every type discussed in this educational guide is currently sold here.
