How To Choose The Right Wig Type?

In addition to being a fashion accessory for ordinary people, wigs can also be available for hair loss patients or people with thin hair as a cosmetic treatment. It is becoming more and more common in daily life, and the types of wigs have also become diverse. How to choose the wig type and what type of wig is more suitable for you is a problem for people who buy wigs for the first time.

For beginners to find the right hair as soon as possible, we will introduce the different wig types to help you uncover its mystery.

Although there are many types of human hair wigs, there are only two categories from the perspective of the general classification, one is the wig with lace, and the other is without lace.

Lace Wigs: Lace Front Wig, Lace Closure Wig, Lace Part Wig, Full Lace Wig

No Lace Wigs: Headband Wig, U/ V Part Wig

The lace front wig has an ear-to-ear lace, large area lace sections to help establish a natural hairline, side part, and middle part. According to the depth and width of the lace, it is divided into the following categories:

1) 13x4 Lace Frontal Wig

13x4 lace frontal wigs can be worn at the front of the head, the lace size of the wig size is 13 inches in the front and 4 inches in the back. This is the most popular and unique wig for women.

2) 13x6 Lace Frontal Wig

The 13x6 lace frontal wig is similar to the 13x4 lace frontal wig, the only difference is that the lace size of the 13X6 lace frontal wig is 13-inch across and 6-inch back. It is usually placed at the top front of the head. 13x6 lace frontal wig allows more freedom with side and middle deep parting.

2. Lace Part Wig

This kind of wig type has 13*5*1 inches lace part, can get natural hairline as lace front wig, but only have 5*1 inches lace in middle part like the pic shows below, girls who like side part are not recommended to try, you can move to Lace Front Wigs.

The size of the lace can be divided into the following three categories: 4x4 Lace Closure Wig, 5x5 Lace Closure Wig and 6x6 Lace Closure Wig. They are available in many different styles which include the three-part, free part, and middle part.

4. 360 Lace Frontal Wig

A 360 lace front wig is a kind of wig with a circle lace around the head. The human hair in this lace part is knotted into the lace hole by hand. Another part of 360 wigs is made of the high stretch machine-made wig cap, bonding with the lace edge. The human hair weave is sewn into the machine-made wig cap.

5. Full Lace Wig

Full lace wig is a wig where the entire base of the wig or whole head section is covered by that same lace material. Alipearl's full lace wig is entirely handmade. The adjustment belt behind the wig can also help adjust the mesh cap. Girls who want to make ponytails can try this one and 360 Lace Frontal Wigs.

6. Headband Wig

The perfect combination of the handmade special ice silk hairband and the wig constitutes a headband wig. This kind of hairband has certain elasticity and can conform to the specific contour of a person's head. The Velcro on the rear makes it easier to adjust the tension. Don't worry about the top of the headgear slipping, clips at the front and back can keep the hair firmly in place. Because there is no need to use any glue, this hair can be reused without causing damage to your hair, which is easier to use than a lace wig.

7. U/V Part Wig

The difference between U/V-shaped wigs is that the shape of the wig cap is different, one is U-shaped, the other is V-shaped, which can expose the top of your head, and a small amount of hair, which looks more real and natural. To fix the wig, pls use the small clips on the top and the adjustment belt behind the mesh cap. The V-shaped headgear has 5 clips at the top, while the U-shaped headgear has only 3, which is also the best way to distinguish between U and V-shaped wigs.

Before buying these two wigs, you'd better choose the same color as your hair, or dye it the same color, or it will not match your hair.

No lace wigs

After knowing the characteristics of each wig, girls can choose the type of wig according to their preferences and hair condition. Of course, you don't have to do this alone, Alipearl has a professional service team that can provide different solutions to your needs, allowing you to find the right hair wig for you!
