17 Lace Front Hairstyles that You Must Try 2022
Lace fronts are super trendy and their popularity is constantly on the rise. Perhaps it’s because of their versatility. The lace at the front of the unit gives you the freedom to try many different hairstyles without fake-looking results. From half up half down styles to intricate braided styles, you’ve got a ton of lace front hairstyles options, and we’ll fill you in on 17 of the best!
Lace Front Styling Options and Limitation
You’d be surprised at how many people don’t know about lace front styling options and limitations. Yet, it’s so important to know what you can and can’t do when styling your lace frontal:
Lace Front Wigs Styling Options
- Heat style: Use a wand curler, crimper, or hair straightener to alter the texture of the hair. Heat tools come in handy whenever you want to smooth your unit, add volume, or give it a new texture.
- Half up half down styles: Lace fronts have lace from ear to ear, enabling you to pull the front hair into a ponytail if you’d like.
- Braided styles: You can put your lace front in a ponytail and braid the loose hair to the ends or do an ear-to-ear cornrow braid for some sass.
- Bangs: Anyone can jazz up their lace front wig with edgy bangs. A few options include curtain bangs, blunt bangs, choppy bangs, or wispy bangs.
- Low ponytails: Low ponytails are perfect for lace front wigs since they don’t show the wefts at the nape of the neck.
Hairstyles that Won’t Work on Your Lace Front:
- High ponytails: Since lace fronts only have lace around the perimeter, if you pull your unit into a high pony, others may be able to see the wefts in the back. You’d need a 360 lace or full lace wig to do high ponytails.
- Pigtails or space buns: Space buns are off-limits because there’s no lace down the middle of a lace front - it’s only on the front portion. Parting the wig down the middle from front to back will reveal the wig’s wefts.
- Straight back cornrows: For the same reason that pigtails and space buns are off-limits with lace fronts, straight-back cornrows are also a no-no. If you want to do straight back cornrows, you’ll need a full lace wig, which has lace all throughout the wig cap.
