FULL LACE SYSTEMS
Full Lace Systems are the most sought
after non-surgical hair replacement option on the market today! Whether you are
experiencing hair loss, any form of alopecia, thin hair, breaking hair, are a
chemotherapy patient or just want to keep up with the latest styles a full lace
system can enhance your entire appearance, by offering you the most natural and
discreet way of wearing hair extensions.
Finding their origin in theatrical wigs,
these systems were originally only worn by celebrities and media personalities.
But over time the systems were modified making them accessible to the wider
society and they have exploded in popularity due to their versatility and wear
ability.
This system is so versatile that the
wearer can create high ponytails, quiffs, cornrows and freestyle parting
options that are not available with traditional wigs and weaves. And the wearer
can achieve all this while maintaining a totally natural appearance, and that's
why celebrities such as Beyoncé, who I refer to as the “Queen of Lace Wigs”,
favour them!
Our Full Lace systems come in all
available hair types, colours and textures.
HOW FULL LACE SYSTEMS
WORK
Firstly the wig base is made from a thin
lace material, which is then tinted to match your skin tone and complexion.
Then individual strands of the highest quality hair (Indian Remy, Virgin
Indian, Virgin Chinese and Virgin Brazilian) are threaded through the lace and
then hand tied into the base. There is no sewing of wefts like average wigs
meaning the wigs are multi directional giving you the freedom to style as
desired without any restrictions.
The wigs have extra lace around the perimeter,
which is trimmed down to create a hairline. This new hairline is then adhered
just in front of your natural hairline using adhesives or special tape, once
secure your new hair can be worn in any style from up-dos, ponytails or cornrows!
BASES AVAILABLE WITH FULL LACE SYSTEMS
We offer the below 3 caps with the Full
Lace Systems. A silk top or hidden knots section can be added to any cap.
Full Lace Cap (no stretch lace) 
Full Lace Cap (with stretch Lace)
Full Lace with Thin Skin around the
perimeter (with stretch lace)
LACE FRONT SYSTEMS
The main
difference between a Full Lace System and a Lace Front system is that the Full
Lace System will attached around the whole perimeter and the Lace Front System will
attached across the front hairline with elastic straps or clips being used to
secure the back.
So with a Lace
Front only the front is glues or taped making it less suitable for up do styles
than the full lace. It’s a great alternative for clients who don’t feel
confident in gluing the whole perimeter and is quick and easy to put on and
remove.
Out Lace Front
Systems come in all hair types, colours and textures and can also come with a
silk top or hidden knot section.

GLUE-LESS LACE SYSTEMS
As the name
implies a glue-less lace system is one that can be worn with out glue or tape.
It is kept in place via the use of clips and elastic straps and is very secure.
The glue-less
system is best suited to hairstyles where the hair is worn down or low
ponytails and buns.
It is easy to
remove and can be taken off daily if required.
It comes in all
available hair types, colours and textures and can come with a silk top or
hidden knot section.

BLENDED LACE SYSTEMS
A blended lace system is
slightly different to the other systems we offer because it is integrated into
the natural hair.
This system is worn a
minimum of 1” behind the hairline and the natural hair is used to blend over
and cover where the system has been applied.
This system is particularly
well suited to women who have full hairlines who want to extend the appearance
of their hair without using glue, adhesive or any sewing.
It is advised when using a
blended system to use a hair that matches the natural hair as closely as
possible.
In Afro- Caribbean clients
it’s recommended to use a kinky or afro relaxed texture. In Caucasian clients
it’s recommended to use a silky straight or natural straight texture. It’s also
important to match the hair colour as closely as possible for a more natural
result.

is braided with front hairline left out)

LACE FRONTALS
A lace frontal is a lace section that spans the width
of the hairline then travels back into the crown. The average width of a
frontal is 12” (ear to ear) and 4” front to back.
Lace frontals are designed to be worn in front of
extensions either, sew in weft, micro weft or micro rings.
This system works especially well for women who have
thin hairlines and want to cover them but who don’t want to wear full systems
or for women who are used to wearing more traditional extensions but like the
idea of a lace hairline.
It’s important with a lace system to ensure that the
hair texture in the frontal and the extensions match well. Not a good idea to
have a straight textures frontal with curly wefts! The textures and colours
need to match well.

SILK TOPS
A silk top or hidden knot section is a section on the top of the wig where the
knots are completely hidden. The material used in the base in this section
looks very much like skin and it comes in various shades to match your
complexion. It is an optional extra and can be added to any cap!
It comes in the following sizes
4” x 4”
4” x 6”
4” x 8
