What Is Lace Frontal?

A lace frontal is a wig that comes with lace at the front portion of your head. It is a good option for people with tiny hairlines or baldness. Many lace frontals come with baby hairs on the hairline to make it look very natural. On the lace, the hairs are sewn to make knots, and the lace will look like your scalp. The laces are available in different shades.

You can choose the lace according to your skin tone. Usually, a lace frontal wig measures 13 inches from ear to ear and about 5 inches back. It means that a lace frontal is a half wig. But you can also choose a 360 frontal which will cover the entire portion of the head.
