And if you want to know more and know everything about this type of wig, just read the post and discover the magic behind changing the look temporarily.
What is it? How is it made?
The term, in English, full lace is already a way of explaining exactly what the accessory is.
Translating, full refers to “full/complete”, while the word lace refers to “canvas/lace/fine fabric”. Putting these two words together, the best translation would be a full screen wig.
If you still don't understand the literal translation, the term refers to the wig model that is made with a fabric that extends throughout the head; that is, unlike the lace front wig, which we have already seen in another post and which only has a screen on the front, the full version has a screen that covers the entire scalp, in order to simulate the same.
This type of wig, which is often used as a hair prosthesis, can be custom-made, that is, customized according to the client's head, ensuring the perfect size of the fabric that fits over the scalp and consequently a more natural look.
However, there are also ready-made versions, and in this case, just look for a measurement that is closer to your head, and can be 2 cm larger or smaller than the size of your head.
The manufacture of the full lace wig is based on the fabric that simulates the scalp and thus the threads are sewn throughout the fabric. The positive point of this type of mesh that extends throughout the wig is the fact that the little mesh resembles the scalp, and thus it is possible to make divisions and different hairstyles using the wig.

Because it has canvas as a base, the full lace look is already natural, but if you want to convey the idea of a really natural wig, the best choice is the full lace version with a silk top, especially for those who are going to wear the wig for a long time. over your own hair.
The silk top is nothing more than a base, usually made of silicone, which resembles the scalp and which comes under the screen where the threads are sewn.
