A lace wig or a lace front wig is a special type of hairpiece in which human hair or synthetic hair is tied by hand to a sheer lace base which goes over the scalp. Usually full lace wigs can be pulled into a high ponytail and up-do's, as opposed to lace front wigs, where a mid to low ponytail can be achieved. Lace front wigs are more common as the remainder of the wig is made out of a less fragile material which is less susceptible to ripping or tearing than the lace. Beccas modern day lace wigs can be worn while doing activities like swimming and exercising.
