Most natural looking hairline!

Lace extends from temple to temple or ear to ear for a seamless blend.

Each hair is individually tied to the cap, but not to the entire cap. This allows for styling the hair away from the face while maintaining the illusion of a natural front hair line. 

Most lace front wigs are ready-to-wear and require no tape or adhesive.
