What are some pros and cons of lace front wigs?

I am looking into investing in a lacefront but i wanted to see if it is worth the money to get one or stick with a traditional wig for way less. Also if you know any good sites pass them along as well. If you are not sure about lacefront and know a good site to get human hair wigs pass that info along as well.

Thanks!

From afar — on stage — they tend to look more real and less "wiggy," which can happen with the thickness and heaviness of hair having to frame the frace in the form of bangs, etc. With a lcace front you have the option (obviously) of having a hair style that is pulled back, which works better for younger characters and can be more feminine.

However, up close and in photos, that lace shows up pretty prominently. In photos, it can be (and usually is) airbrushed/photoshopped out. In "real llife," it can be a distraction.

All in all, though, for the investment, it’s probably a good way to go — a better wig is a better wig.

The pros are that they look very natural as many wigs (Even human hair ones) can tend to look heavy or "wiggy".
Cons…………price point.

Ellie and I must have been typing our response at the same time and we both said, "Wiggy". That’s funny!

The best part about lace wigs is that you can part them anyway and still remain undetectable. No one will know it’s a wig. Please check out the FAQ page as I have detailed questions and answers regarding Lace Wigs.

There are more pros than cons. The invisible hairline makes it unseen to the naked eye. The cons are simiple and include the upkeep.
