Last Update Jul 18, 2025

Lace wigs have become a game-changer in the world of hairstyling. These wigs offer a natural look that many people desire. The lace material blends seamlessly with your scalp, creating an illusion of hair growing directly from your head. Whether you want to change your hairstyle or cover hair loss, lace wigs offer a solution. Explore the different types of lace wigs to find the perfect match for your style.

1. According to the Size of the Lace Area

Usually, we can distinguish lace wigs into these types according to the size of the lace area inside the lace wig caps: lace closure wigs, lace front wigs, lace part wigs, 360 lace wigs, and full lace wigs.

Lace Closure Wigs

The area of the lace part of the closure wig is 4x4, 5x5, 7x5, etc. The lace part is in the middle of the head, and the left part is machine-made. Besides, it is sewn with four combs and comes with an adjustable band at the back to help you easily secure the wig and adjust the cap size according to your head circumference. 

Compared to a lace front wig, it is easier and more convenient for a wig beginner to install, as well as easier to take care of, it is a beginner-friendly wig type.

Lace Front Wigs

The lace front wig is a half-machine-made and half-hand-made lace wig. The area from ear to ear is made of lace, and machines make other materials. The lace front mimics a natural hairline and has a thin, nearly invisible lace material to which hairs are tied in one by one, thus giving the illusion that the wig hairs grow from your scalp.

There are many types of lace front human hair wigs to choose from, including 13x4 lace front wigs, and 13x6 human hair lace front wigs. Some of the lace front wigs require no glue to install, such as the UNice Pre-everything Wig Collection

Lace Part Wigs

A lace part wig is a wig whose area of the lace on this wig is a shape T, and it has appeared due to the shortage of lace. And the lace-part wig is also called the T-part lace wig or T-part wig. It has a 13 inches lace from ear to ear and a 5 inches depth lace in the middle of the parting space, which makes the lace look like a "T" shape.

360 Lace Wigs

360 lace wig is a wig that is completely designed with a sheer lace around the whole hairline from the beginning to the end attached to the circle of the wig. 

You can pull it up into a ponytail or adhere it down with glue. 360 lace wig gives you a lot of versatility like full lace wigs yet more affordable.

Full Lace Wigs

A full lace wig is made of full lace, and its area of lace is more than other types of lace wigs. It is more versatile as the lace is full around the scalp.

So you can go ponytails and up-dos which other lace wigs are hard to do. Therefore, a full lace wig is now one that is hard to produce in large numbers.

2. According to the Color of Lace

There are more different types of lace wigs on the market, lace wigs can be divided into ordinary lace wigs, transparent lace wigs, and thin HD lace wigs according to the transparency (color) of the lace.

Brown Lace Wigs

The color of an ordinary lace wig is brown, so it is also known as the common brown lace wig, which is darker than the transparent lace frontal wig, and especially fit for women with dark or black skin. And it is cheap and durable, too.

Transparent Lace Wigs

Transparent lace is normal lace with a transparent color. The lace color of a transparent lace wig is transparent. It is very thin, which will lay more undetectable on your skin to look like your real scalp. Besides, it can blend in seamlessly with light skin for an easy wig melt.

HD Lace Wigs

HD lace is a kind of extremely thin and more ventilated Swiss lace, which is light, soft, and more delicate than Swiss lace. And it looks more transparent than normal lace. It can melt into our skin perfectly to make the hairline more invisible. Here is our guide to the difference between HD lace and transparent lace.
