Lace Front Wigs are rapidly becoming a staple part of a T girl’s wardrobe, offering trannies with even limited budgets the benefits of realistic hairlines and incredibly natural feminine looking hair.

When you are en femme, whether your goal is to blend in or stand out from the crowd, a badly fitting or unrealistic looking wig can let you down.  Badly made or synthetic hair pieces made with cheap fibre are easily spotted as being wigs so what is a transvestite girl to do when all you want is for someone to complement your fantastic, natural hairstyle?

The give-away is often not the hairstyle, but the hairline.   To look realistic, a wig has to fit snugly, with no clear “join” between your own skin and the wig- and the answer is….a lace front or lace cap wig.

What is  a Lace Front Wig?

A Lace front wig has a delicate, fine band of durable, neutral coloured lace sewn into the front of the wig, sitting across the forehead from ear to ear.

The lace is trimmed by the wearer to match the natural hairline. This provides a “blending” area between the wig fibre and the skin.  The transparency of the lace, coupled with baby knots of hair sewn into the lace, re-creates with incredibly realism, a naturally occurring hairline.

The join becomes virtually non-detectable with the resulting effect that others will struggle to spot you are wearing a wig and will assume that the hair is all your own!

Styling

Most synthetic wigs have one fixed style (created by sewing the fibre onto the wig cap in a set pattern).  Although this is often a huge plus point, saving valuable time having to style your hair, lace front wigs provide the added benefit of being able to wear the wig off the face and part the hair as real hair.

Secure Fitting

As the lace provides a transparent extension to the normal wig cap, this means a closer and more secure fit .  For those wishing to wear their lace front wig on a longer term basis, specialist wig glue can be used to secure the lace to the hairline enabling the hair to become essentially your own.

Lace front wigs offer TV and TS girls the confidence to wear your wig outdoors, even in blustery conditions.

Who wears Lace Front Wigs?

Originally designed for use in TV, film and on the stage, lace front wigs are now ‘de rigeur’ with pop stars and celebrities, giving them the ability to create new hairstyles without the need to cut, dye or grow their own hair.

The premier market for lace front wigs is the Afro-Caribbean community where some women are unable to grow their hair yet still wish to create long, luxurious hairstyles. Beyonce and Tyra Banks are two of many celebrities who wear lace front wigs.

Many wig manufacturers are now introducing the benefits of Lace Front Wigs to wider markets by adapting fibres, styles and lace colours to suit all skin tones. www.celebwigs.com have a new range of unisex lace front wigs of all lengths and styles to suit TG and TS girls from all backgrounds and ages.

Sharing the secret

Traditionally, lace front wigs were hand-made using human hair costing from hundreds of pounds up to thousands.

However, modern technology means that machine made, synthetic fibre lace front wigs can now be manufactured at a fraction of the cost, but with all of the benefits.

A great quality man-made fibre, like Futura or Kanekalon, has all the appearance of human hair and is also heat friendly, can be mixed in with human hair, meaning you can curl and straighten and style as human hair…but at a fraction of the cost of expensive human wigs!

We all have problems choosing a hairstyle to suit us, and the wide range of wigs available on the market often makes that choice even more daunting. Most wig suppliers do not accept returns on wigs that have been worn/used, making the choice of wig even more important.

How do you, as a TS or TV girl, decide what style will suit and feminize your face?

Wigs can dramatically change your appearance, face shape and look. You should take your time getting to know your face shape and choosing the right style for your face. By choosing the correct wig to hide certain parts of your face you are able to draw the eye to your more attractive features.

Choosing a Style

Face Framing or forward style wigs will go a long way to help you achieve a more feminine look while being easy to care for and style.

Many crossdressers, trans people and transvestites may have a prominent bones above the eye sockets or brow. To disguise this masculine feature, it is best to go for a style with a fringe that covers the area and draws the eye down toward the lower part of the face. Choose a wig with more volume on the crown, like the Goldie above,  (as opposed a flat style) which will balance out the size and width of your face.

Wider or square faces can also be altered in appearance by bringing styles closer to the actual face and, as long as the ends are soft the effect can be very dramatic and face framing hairstyle with soft fringe and razor cut ends. A wig with whispy layers which frame the face can mask many masculine features such as wide jaw line or prominent brow.

Long Hair is generally taken to be more feminine and it is much easier to appear and feel more feminine with a longer style. In general, the shorter the style, the more attention is drawn to the face so avoid shorter styles if possible.  If you like the effect of curly hair, choose a wig that has relaxed curls like the Fearne (left) which provides volume but does not create too “big” an effect.

Choosing a colour

Most TS/TV girls make the mistake of choosing a colour that they like rather than what would suit their skin tone. For as natural a look as possible to “pass”,  stick to as close to your natural colour as possible.  Going for an outrageous colour or an overly luxurious or glamorous wig will only draw unwanted attention to yourself- for some that might be the desired effect but not necessarily when doing your food shopping in Tesco!

Have a search on the internet for girls who have similar colouring and skin tone to you and see what colours suit them.

If you have naturally mid brown- dark brown/black eyes and eyebrows, stick to darker wig colours with highlights or deep red colours.

If you have blonde to light brown natural hair colour and eyebrows, stick to the lighter colours on the spectrum or possibly ginger colours.

Gone are the day of buying one wig for £100+ (USD$150+) which has to last you for a good few years.  These days, realistic  man-made fibres such as kanekelon mean that great quality, modern and stylish wigs can be yours for less than £30 ($50). This means that you can change your looks regularly to suit your mood!

Make-overs and wig advice

Many wig stores, such as ours, are incredibly TV/TS friendly.  Email us a photo of yourself and we will happily suggest some styles for you- making your wig buying experience stress-free.  Someone will hold your hand and advise you the whole way!

If you are able to treat yourself, there are increasingly more make-over services providing a one-stop shop for a head to toe feminization treatment. You will be given advice on hair, make-up, underwear , clothes and shoes to go away and experiment with, giving you greater confidence to explore your feminine self.

Farrah is a good example of a wig style that helps cover the forehead and has enough layered volume to counter any wide jawline with out totally hiding it.
