It is important to be familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of the various types of net base, it can better help you find the right wig. Now, we will give you an introduction to lace mesh base in detail, hopefully it will help you in selecting a hair system.
Two sides of the lace base
The lace base is made of lace fabric, and each hair is tied to the mesh of the lace.

Advantages
- A completely lace mesh base or a lace mesh base at the hairline can perfectly mimic the look of a natural hairline and will look very natural. This is a good choice if you are very particular about your hairline and need to make sure it matches your hairstyle.
- And the lace mesh base is the lightest and most breathable of the three different mesh bases because of the proper spacing of the top mesh and the large mesh holes, perfect for hot weather!

Disadvantages
Because the hair is tied directly to the lace mesh bottom and knotted on top, so if the hair has distribution lines it will be more obvious and not look very realistic and natural. However, if these knots are bleached or the hair trim is set to a lighter color, then the visibility of these knots will be reduced, increasing the realism of the wig.
Two styles
-
Full lace
The complete lace wig is made entirely of lace, it has maximum breathability and is styled in a variety of ways. You can try out many hairstyles without having to deal with stubborn hair that won't listen to you. The full lace men's hair block can be worn without glue on the hairnet, if you use glue then it will seep out of the lace mesh and thus reduce the adhesion.
-
Lace front
Human hair lace front wigs are wigs with a piece of lace that is placed at the hairline position of the head. The size of the lace can be different depending on the size, but most of the time it ranges from 13x4 to 13x6. The virgin hair is then placed and sewn into the hold of the lace by hand, making it more natural looking. Lace front wigs are one the most popular wig choices among wig wearers, praised for the flawless illusion they create of a natural hairline. The entire
lace front wig is made out of a thinner yet firm material that allows the hair to be sewn in, but gives enough flexibility so you don't have that stiff volume at the crown of your head. Lace front wigs require that you bond the lace to the area of your head, which then allows for easier wearing.
Two materials
-
French Lace
French lace is more durable and will hold up better over the long run. The individual holes in French lace are a tab bit smaller than Swiss Lace . Small holes mean more holes which mean a slightly denser material. Although French lace is slightly thicker and more durable, but it will still give you the invisible hairline.
-
Swiss Lace
Swiss lace wigs are the most popular and recommended choice due to its superior advantage in camouflaging. Swiss lace is very similar to French lace. The only real difference is it has larger holes and it's thinner material than French lace. Due to its large hole, Swiss lace is less durable than French Lace. Also Swiss lace is less visible than French lace. Swiss lace is great choice for active lace wig wearers and can be used for everyday wear as long as you treat the wig with TLC. If you want a very natural hairline, you can choose Swiss lace .
We don’t suggest you that the whole base material were made from Swiss lace because it’s too delicate. You can mix it. In this way, then the whole base would be durable and delicate at the same time. But don’t worry, although Swiss lace is more fragile than French lace, it’s still strong enough for daily use if handled carefully.
