A lace front wig is similar to a full lace wig, except it doesn’t have the same versatility of the full lace wig.  The lace front wig has a sheer lace in the front of the unit that are typically cut off just before the wig is installed.  The base of the lace front wig is not made of lace, as is the case with a full lace wig, but instead it is made of a thicker material. This wig type will not allow you to part it down the center of the unit or pull it all up into a bun, the way you could with a full lace wig. However, it is less expensive than a full lace wig.
