Achieving a seamless, natural-looking hairline is the main reason people love Front Lace Wigs, but maintaining that flawless illusion comes with a specific set of challenges. Knowing what to expect can save you plenty of bad hair days.

One of the biggest headaches is adhesive breakdown and lifting. The strength of your wig adhesive (be it glue or tapes) can easily be compromised by excessive perspiration, humidity and natural oil build-up on the scalp, which may cause the front edge to lift at the most inconvenient of times. In addition, improper application / removal of a wig from the scalp can cause the front of your hair to be damaged, resulting in scalp irritation, and in some cases, traction alopecia (if the edges are continually being stressed from improperly applied / removed adhesive).

The lace material used in front lace wigs is extremely delicate; if you pull on it too harshly while brushing/washing the wig, it can easily rip, making your wig unusable. In addition, front lace wigs require constant maintenance because they tend to shed and tangle in the back of your head, as well as need to be bleached or covered with some type of makeup to resemble real skin. If you want your front lace wig to have the best possible appearance, you must consistently provide it with tender loving care and patience.
