Hair Wig Guide
Buying Guide
Lace frontals represent the pinnacle of styling versatility, providing a continuous, seamless hairline that stretches from ear to ear across your entire forehead.
Why Invest in a Lace Frontal?
— Complete Ear-to-Ear Freedom (13" Width): Unlike closures that restrict parting to the center forehead, a 13-inch frontal spans the full natural hairline. You can part anywhere—deep side swoops, crisp center lines, zig-zags, or pulled back into half-up buns.
— Up-Do & High Ponytail Capability: With natural lace hugging your temples and sideburns, frontals allow sleek pushed-back styling, top knots, and messy updos without revealing cap seams.
— Authentic Scalp Realism: By mimicking the organic curvature of a human forehead, frontals deliver the illusion that every single strand is sprouting directly from your own scalp.
Choosing Your Ideal Frontal Construction:
— 13x4 Lace Frontal: The timeless classic. 13 inches wide from ear to ear with 4 inches of parting depth. Balances versatile parting with easy, lightweight maintenance.
— 13x6 Deep Lace Frontal: Extra 2 inches of crown depth (6" total), allowing parting to extend seamlessly to the apex of your head—ideal for dramatic side parts and half-up topknots.
— 360 Lace Frontal: Features complete perimeter lace around the front, sides, and nape with bundled tracks in the center. The premier choice for flawless high ponytails.
Length & Density Recommendations:
— 12"–16" (Chic Lobs & Bobs): 150% density provides a silky, lightweight drape that moves effortlessly with every step.
— 18"–24" (Red-Carpet Everyday): Paired with 180% density for luxurious, balanced volume from hairline to ends.
— 26"–30" (Dramatic Showstoppers): 180% to 210% density ensures dense, lush body and full ends throughout extra-long lengths.

Texture / Length / Density Guide
Selecting your preferred texture and mastering the frontal styling routine:
Available Textures:
— Silky Straight: Flawless for bone-straight silk presses and glass-hair finishes. Easily flat-ironed at 300°F–340°F.
— Body Wave: Classic S-shaped waves that provide effortless volume and bounce. Recovers its wave memory naturally after washing.
— Deep Wave / Water Wave: Exotic cascading ripples with high definition. Refresh instantly with a light water mist and curl mousse for a glossy "wet & wavy" finish.
— Yaki Straight: Micro-crimped relaxed texture matching blown-out natural afro hair. Offers zero artificial shine, superior grip, and full volume.
— Jerry & Kinky Curly: Voluminous 3C–4A spiral coils that blend beautifully with textured hair.
Frontal Maintenance & Ear-Tab Melting Hacks:
— Seamless Melting: Use a light holding spray or lace melting mousse along the ear tabs, wrap with an elastic melting band for 10 minutes, and blow-dry cool for an invisible bond.
— Protect the Knots: Avoid applying heavy oils or greasy serums directly onto the lace mesh, as oils can loosen the delicate hand-tied knots and cause premature shedding.
FAQ
Q: Can I wear an ARAY 13x4 or 13x6 lace frontal wig glueless?
A: Yes! While traditional frontals historically required heavy glues, ARAY frontals are built with our upgraded 3D stretch dome cap, pre-installed 3.5cm piano-key adjustable elastic band, and anti-slip silicone perimeter strips. For everyday wear, you can slip it on 100% glueless. If you plan to pull the hair into a high ponytail or go to an active event, a light spritz of melting spray on the ear tabs provides extra hold.
Q: How is a lace frontal different from a lace closure?
A: A lace closure covers only a small section (such as 4x4 or 5x5 inches) in the center of the forehead, limiting your part to the middle or slight side. A lace frontal stretches 13 inches from ear to ear, giving you complete styling freedom to part anywhere and pull the hair back.
Q: Do ARAY lace frontals come pre-plucked and pre-bleached?
A: Yes. All ARAY frontals arrive pre-customized: the hairline is pre-plucked with natural graduated baby hairs, and the perimeter knots are professionally bleached. You can wear it straight out of the box with minimal to no customization required.
Q: Can I style a lace frontal into a high ponytail or bun?
A: You can easily style a lace frontal wig into half-up half-down buns and low-to-mid ponytails. For high, slicked-back ponytails, we recommend either our 360 Lace Frontal wigs or using a light lace adhesive/spray around the sideburns and nape to ensure a seamless 360-degree look.
Q: How long does a lace frontal last?
A: With proper care, sulfate-free washing every 2 to 3 weeks, gentle detangling from ends to roots, and nightly removal, an ARAY virgin hair lace frontal typically lasts 12 to 18+ months.
