A lace wig is a hairpiece made by hand-tying hair onto lace mesh, with Swiss lace being the most common material. It features lace at the front hairline, which blends seamlessly with your natural scalp for an ultra-realistic look. Most lace wigs are crafted with premium human hair.
Lace wigs are entirely handmade by skilled artisans. The production process is known as ventilating. Workers use fine needles to tie individual hair strands onto the lace cap stitch by stitch. The ventilating work for one lace wig can take up to 40 hours, with around 150,000 knots at the hair roots. The intricate and time-consuming craftsmanship explains why lace wigs are priced higher than other wig types.
