What Is A Transparent Lace Front Wig?
A transparent lace front wig is a combination of a lace front wig and a transparent full lace wig. So, what you have is a transparent lace front wig that’s sewn with a lace frontal usually using three or four human hair bundles. The number of hair bundles could vary, of course, depending on the style. Click here to learn how many hair bundles you need to create your wig.
As the name suggests, the lace used to make such wigs are transparent and, hence, are invisible and undetectable.
Depending on your personal preferences, a transparent lace runs from temple to temple and, in some cases, from ear to ear.

How To Choose The Best Wig for You
To choose the best transparent lace front wigs for you, go through the following steps:
1. Go for a High Quality Human Hair
Your wig cannot be better than the quality of hair used to make it. So, if you must get your wig right, you must get the hair right.
The best hairs for transparent lace front wigs are raw hair, virgin hair, or remi hair. All must be sourced from the same donor’s head with undamaged cuticles all aligned to prevent tangling or shedding. Avoid human hair that has been altered by chemicals as they wouldn’t last long.
2. Choose a Color that Suits Your Complexion
Another important factor to consider when choosing a lace front wig is to go for a wig color that suits your complexion. The most common choice is the natural color. But that’s not to say that it’s your only choice. There are other color choices you can pick from ranging from pink to blue to blonde.
If you’re going to pick a colored wig, be sure that it matches your skin tone if you want it to look natural and attractive. A garish contrast between your hair and skin tone will not make you look good.
How to Install A Transparent Lace Front Wig
1. First wash and condition your natural hair to rid it of dirt and oil buildup. Next, braid your hair but not too tightly, and then use a lace cap to cover the braid. The lace cap should be close to your scalp in color.
2. Next, set the wig on your head and adjust it till it fits. You don’t want the wig too tight or too loose. If it’s too tight, it could cause chafing which could damage your hairline. And if it’s too loose, it could fall off your head.
3. Next, trim the excess lace at the forehead to fit your hairline. Make sure you make it really neat. After that, apply a lace adhesive glue to seal the wig to your forehead. You must make the glue extra thin. You don’t want too much of that messing up your face. Then wait for it to dry. To conceal the lace, you can apply some makeup on the lace so that it looks like skin.
4. Next, lay your baby hair. Laying baby hair gives your wig a more realistic look.
How To Take Off Your Transparent Lace Front Wig
To take off your transparent lace front wig, you can use hair products to melt the adhesive or glue used to attach the wig to your head. When the wig gets loose, gently take the wig off your head. You don’t want to scrub the lace off your forehead too hard or you might hurt your hairline and your forehead.
How to Care for Your Transparent Lace Front Wig
1. When combing your hair, use a wide-toothed comb and avoid using regular weave brushes. A wide-toothed comb is best because it means it passes through the hair easily without tangling the wig.
When combing, be sure to be gentle on your wig so that you don’t pull the hair out of the wig and cause it to shed.
2. Always take off your wig whenever you come home. Do not sleep in your wig. Instead, get a mannequin or a wig stand and store your wig on it to keep it tangle- and matte-free.
3. Only use shampoos and conditioners specifically made for wigs when washing your wigs. Be sure to avoid shampoos and conditioners containing sulfate. Also, avoid using seawater and hot water to wash your hair as these are pretty harsh and can damage your wig. Definitely do not shower or swim with your wig.
4. After washing your wig, don’t use a hairdryer, air-dry the wig instead. Don’t forget to expose the inner parts of your wig as well so that it can dry. Also, avoid manipulating your wig when it’s still wet. Wait till it’s dry before trying to style it.
Can You Bleach Transparent Lace?
Transparent lace is suitable for nearly all skin tones. However, because it’s transparent, it’s very easy to color the lace to suit your skin tone if you ever have to. So, yes, you definitely can bleach your transparent lace.
Should You Bleach The Knots On Your Transparent Lace Wig?
When you get your transparent lace front wig, the knots on the wig can be quite distinct. Bleaching the knots on the lace will change the pigmentation of the knots from black to a color that blends better with your skin tone.
This will give your lace front wig a more seamless look so that it looks like a real scalp.
The Difference Between Transparent Lace Front Wigs and Medium Brown Lace Front Wigs
A lace front wig is of two types. There’s the 13 by 4 transparent lace front wig which is called the medium brown lace front wig and there’s the 13 by 6 transparent lace front wig which is the transparent lace front we’re talking about.
The main difference between these two wigs is in their width. As you can tell, the transparent lace front wig has more real estate. So, if you want to create a long pre-plucked hairline, then go for the transparent lace front wig.
Besides the width, one other difference between the transparent lace front wig and the medium brown lace front wig is the color of the lace. That much is obvious. While the transparent lace is barely noticeable, the medium brown has a slightly darker color than the transparent lace front. This makes both wig types suitable for different kinds of women.
Black women would look great with either the medium brown lace front wig or the transparent lace front wig. But women with a lighter skin tone would do much better with a transparent lace front wig.
