See How Lace Front and Monofilament Can Make the Hairline and Parting Feel More Natural

A lace front and a monofilament top are both designed to make a wig look more natural, but they improve different areas.

A lace front is mainly about the front hairline.

It helps soften where the wig meets your forehead, which can matter more if you wear your hair away from your face or do not want to rely on a fringe.

A monofilament top is mainly about the parting and the top of the wig.

It can help the hair look as though it is coming from the scalp and may give you more flexibility around where the hair falls or parts.

So if the hairline is the bit you are most conscious of, a lace front may make the bigger difference.

If you are more worried about how the parting or top looks, monofilament may matter more to you.

And if both areas are important, you do not necessarily have to choose between them. Some wigs include both a lace front and monofilament construction.



Once you try them on, it becomes much easier to see which feature makes the biggest difference to how the wig looks on you.

Complete Coverage Can Still Feel Familiar: It Does Not Have to Mean Too Much Hair

A full wig covers the whole scalp and gives you one complete hairstyle.

It can be made from fibre or human hair and may include features such as a lace front or monofilament top.

Complete coverage can still look and feel very familiar.

If you have always had fine hair, a very full style around your face may be the first thing you notice.

The same can happen with a different parting.

If you have worn yours in the same place for years, moving it somewhere new can make the whole style feel unfamiliar even when the wig itself is lovely.

Colour, fullness, parting, length, shape and the way the hair sits around your face all play a part.



When you look in the mirror, you want to recognise a hairstyle you would genuinely have chosen for yourself.

How Much Do You Want to Style Your Hair Each Morning?

Once you have thought about the cap and the coverage, there is another part of the decision.

What do you want the hair itself to be like?

Human hair gives you more styling freedom and behaves more like growing hair.

If you enjoy blow drying, smoothing, curling or changing the finish, that flexibility may matter to you.

Fibre wigs are designed to retain their style, which can make mornings much easier if you want to put your wig on without recreating the hairstyle.

Premium fibre can give you a softer, more refined finish while keeping much of that ready to wear ease.

Some specialist fibres also allow controlled heat styling, depending on the particular wig and its care guidance.

Your morning routine is often a good place to start.

How much styling do you genuinely want to do each day?

If you enjoy changing your hair, human hair may suit you.

If you would rather know the style is already there when you put it on, fibre may feel easier.

Which Features Will You Notice Once the Wig Is On?

It is easy to spend hours reading wig specifications and still feel unsure about which details will matter when you wear one.



Start with what you know you will look at first.

Still Unsure What Will Feel Right? Try Different Wigs in Person and Take Your Time Deciding

Reading about lace fronts, monofilament caps, fibre and human hair can help you understand what is available.

Eventually, though, a product description runs out of answers.

“Will this look and feel right on me?”

That is much easier to answer with the wig on your head.

During a private, one to one consultation at The Roche Hair Experience in Stafford, you can try different styles and constructions, look properly at the hairline and parting and see how different hair types move.

You can talk to Charles about how you normally wear your hair, what you are worried about and what you would like to feel different when you look in the mirror.

Take your time. Try a few. Ask questions.

Sometimes the feature you had been searching for online turns out not to matter very much once the wig is on. Another small detail might make the whole style feel much more like you.



And if you want to go away and think about it, you can.
