I was thinking that myself! I refuse to spend that much on them though...SOOO expensive the longer the hair! I'm not for sure but I heard they can go from $200 to $4,000. I usually have the tastes that are more $4,000 appropriate lol!

lol!! - Here's what I dug up!

Cap Style Questions:

What is a Full Lace Wig or Front Lace Wig?  Also known as Full Front Lace Wig, Lace Front Wig or Lace Wig.  Full Lace Wigs are full wigs with the entire wig cap being designed from transparent lace and it also has transparent lace all around the perimeter of the wig.  With the full lace wig, you can wear your hair in high up dos and ponytails.  Once applied, the wig creates it's own flawless, natural and invisible hairline.  A Front Lace or Lace Front Wig only has the transparent lace in the front of the wig and the remainder of the wig is made from a regular netted wig cap.  You are not able to wear a front lace wig in high up dos or ponytails


How do I attach or wear the wig?  The wigs are fairly easy to attach.  95% of our customers attach the units themselves.  We provide you with FREE Written instructions as well as care instructions that teach you how to put the unit on and how to care for the unit.  We also have an Instructional DVD that is a live video that shows you step by step how to prepare the unit and attach the wig.  The lace front wig will need to be attached with adhesive glue or tape.  We sell these items under the wig accessories section of the website.  This is not put on your hair, so it will not damage your own hair.  We provide you with full instructions on how to properly attach the wig as well as how to care for it and styling tips.

What kind of Glue do I buy?  If you want a 1-6 week hold – you will want to purchase the Ultra Hold glue.  For a 1-10 day hold the Mity Tite or the Oil Resistant White Glue is best. 

How Long will the Glue hold?  It holds from 1-6 week hold.  The holding time will vary depending on your skin type.  If you have oily skin you may not get as long of a hold.

Can I go swimming with the wig in a Pool or Beach or get it wet?  YES, the wig is just like your regular hair so you can do all normal activities with it on such as swimming, showering, sweating, etc.  No one will ever know that it is not your own natural hair. The only time you do not get it wet is the first 24 hours after applying the adhesive.  There are also special water proof adhesives that you can use as well.  You will want to buy a water proof glue like the Ultra Hold for swimming.

Cool... so, like a normal wig, you just tie your hair down with a cap under the lace-front?

Hmmm, I may have to look into one of those for shoots when I just don't feel like straightening my hair.

I was thinking about, getting extensions... I have some shoots coming up and they mostly want straight hair, but I'm trying to keep my hair healthy (not doing too much styling) while I'm growing it out. Someone said that they could braid my hair and sew hair into the braids. Is that a good idea?

Yep a fullweave would be good BUT you still have to maintain the do! You can't get a comb and comb your scalp like you want, etc. It depends on the person! I'd say let someone Press out your hair right before the shoot and clip in hair.

Your hair is different from our hair. It would take more to put it in and keep it in. What reason did they do that for?

LMAOO!! Girl! There are certain things certain hair is cool to do lol! That's faulty they even decided to weave you up like that....not cool! Clip ins and glue ins are easy. Glue in is messy if you're not used to it or if you can't see!

Of course lace front wigs look real. You can leave them on for weeks and they are almost always made of real hair.

Here is Beyoncé without her lacefronts. I am going to go bathe in the blood of the lamb now...
