Whether you are experiencing hair loss, or just want a fabulous new look, a lace front unit is a great hair option. Once a secret among celebrities, lace units are now widely available and affordable.

A lace front unit is made with human hair tied to a lace base. The two types of lace used in lace fronts are French lace and Swiss lace. A "lace front" unit has lace at the hairline that is secured with liquid adhesive or tape. When the lace is adhered to your own hairline, it gives an invisible hairline, making it look as though the hair is growing out of your scalp.

All of our units are made with Remy hair. Remy (or Remi) hair is the complete hair strand and has not been weakened by stripping. Remy hair is created by careful processing which leaves the cuticle in place. The result is stronger, superior hair. Still, this hair has undergone some processing (such as cleaning, curly perming or dyeing), so it should also be treated gently. Remy hair is often referred to as "cuticle hair" because the cuticle is left intact. Hair that is stripped of the cuticle is often chemically treated to give the hair an artificial softness and shine, which wears down over time, causing tangling and a poor appearance. Remy hair does not have this problem and is the highest quality hair you can purchase.

Each unit is handmade, by experpienced wigmakers securing one or more hair strands at a time, to the lace base. Our knotting technique creates a multi-directional hairstyling, with a natural hair flow. Knots are lightened for a realistic looking "scalp". Each unit takes over thirty hours of labor to complete.
