We get more questions everyday on whether you have to use lace wig glue in order to wear a lace front wig. The answer is simply, no, you don’t. Everyone’s hair loss or styling needs are different so lace wig adhesives are not always necessary. Some have total hair loss while some just have persistent problem areas. There are a variety of options for wearing your lace wig. That’s one of the main reasons they are so appealing.

If you have hair at your hairline, you can actually just leave a little of your own hair out and bobby pin the wig down behind your hairline. A lot of people ask whether bobby pinning their wig down is secure. We are still mindful of the ill fitting wigs of years past and have images of wigs flying off a person’s head on a windy day. This is not the case with a prosthetic wig that is designed to hug the contours of your head. If your lace wig is properly sized, bobby pinning it down is very secure. Just make sure to place the pins all around your head, especially at your temples, behind the ears, and at the nape. Any extra pins are for added security. If you’re looking for inspiration on how this could look, check out a couple of Oprah’s past season shows. This past season she wore her own hair out quite a bit but also wore pieces that matched her own hair in color and texture. You can do the same and place the wig behind your natural hairline. It’s a very natural look!

If you have hair loss at your hairline or complete hair loss, pinning the wig down may not work. You do have a few cap design options, though, to achieve a natural look. You can custom order your lace wig with a glue-less cap design. We have a few options to choose from and, yes, they are also secure. The wig will fit to hug your head for security. Accurate measurements will be important for the best fit, and a head template is even better. If you’d like to learn more about these options, please feel free to contact us for a consultation.

You might be surprised to know that there are little financial resources out there to help adults with the purchase of lace wig hair prosthesis, also known popularly as lace wigs. Though some insurance companies do cover lace wigs, there may be a lot of stipulations on coverage or under-coverage in general. There is a great resource, however, available through the National Alopecia Areata Foundation Ascot Fund. The Ascot Fund was established to help adults and children with alopecia areata by providing financial assistance up to $500. We’ve had the pleasure of working with the National Alopecia Areata Foundation (NAAF) by providing lace wigs to their award recipients. Unlike many insurance company procedures, this is not a reimbursement plan so you do not have to come up with the funds upfront. We think this is just wonderful because this puts much less financial strain on the award recipients.

At the time of this writing, the program requires you to obtain an invoice from the company you choose for your custom hair piece. If you need help in customizing your lace wig hairpiece, please send an email and we will set up an appointment to go over your custom lace wig and provide you with the documentation you need to apply for the award. You can also fill out any one of our custom order forms to receive a quote or invoice. We can get started on your quote for the Foundation with this information. Keep in mind that we do include ongoing store promotions or discounts in your invoice.
Here are the steps to receive an invoice from us:

1)    Fill out a custom order form for your choice wig
2)    Add the order to your shopping cart
