Lace Wigs are not a new phenomenon however many have closely guarded this secret for decades. Many celebrities, such as Beyonce and Tyra Banks have been outed for wearing Lace Wigs. However, if a list was posted naming all celebrities that wear lace wigs you would be astonished. The unique design of the lace wigs are what make them so realistic. With quality ranging from as low as $50 to Beyonce's famous $1 million dollar unit there's definitely something in everyone's budget. Quality units usually start around $250 for a basic unit.

Not only celebrities wear lace wigs. Many people wear them because of hair loss due to alopecia, chemo treatments, and other conditions leading to hair loss. Just as many people wear them a better alternative to regular wigs and hair extensions. So, enthusiasts of lace wigs span a broad range of people regardless of age, sex, race, or demographics.

Perhaps the best quality about lace front wigs as opposed to regular wigs, is the ability to have them custom made. A wig maker, or ventilator will make a unit just for you in your own unique measurements. This service of course will be an additional cost and a wait ranging from 2 weeks to 10 depending on a number of factors (construction, base, time of year, ect). For those of us who do not have the patience to wait there are stock units. While these units may be off just a little it doesn't take much to get secure fit.

At the beginning the buying process may seem overwhelming. Here's a few things to consider:

• Your lifestyle: Are you a avid swimmer, frequent the gym, love to change your hairstyle frequently
• Base...there is so many custom variations available. What type will best fit your lifestyle? Where would you part? Will you wear ponytails ever? Do you want to mess with adhesives?
  
• Color. The options are endless. Consider your skin tones and your own personal style and have fun. anything that can be done to your hair can be done to your unit.
• Length. Make sure you ask the vendor how they measure so that you will have an accurate idea of what you will receive.
• Texture. The list of texture choices are forever growing. On top of that each vendor has their own variation of each. So ask the vendor to get a better idea. The rest is trial and error.
• Human or synthetic hair? Both have pros and cons. Human hair you treat just like hair growing from your scalp. Curly hair can be flat ironed and straight hair curled. However, malfunctions may happen until you get a hang of it. Curly hair may frizz and curls may drop in that straiht hair. Sythetic hair isn't as flexible. You get what you get. Although some sythetic hair can withstand low heat, this is for reviving the style not changing it.
  
• Cost. A high price isn't always high quality. But decide if this a short term purchase. If it is a test trial maybe you would like to start with a used unit.
  
• Type of hair. The options are endless and many factors will influence your decision. There will be another write soon just about hair type. The list is just too exhautive to add here.
• Last but certainly not least. When do you want it. Like I said before you can have a unit custom made. This is great because many vendors will make what you want to exact requests. For example, you can send pictures of the hair color texture style etc along with your measurements and a picture of your hairline and they will match it. The waiting time is too much for most. For those of us who want instant gratification, there's stock units. They can be shipped ot the same day and even overnighted. But these units are as is. The good news is that you can tweak them yourself, or send them to a qualified professional to tweak for you.

Good luck on your search for the perfect unit. Soon you will have a unit that fits just right.
