1.The Changes Of Lace Wigs In Market Since Covid-19
The largest producer of Swiss lace - North Korea has slapped a ban on the export of lace products because of the Covid-19. Many hairs wigs factories have to begin to produce lace products in the domestic. So there are also some changes in the manufacturing technic of human hair lace wigs.

1)The Increased Prices.

2) Lace Area Become Smaller Than Before
Because production becomes more costly and slow, many factories stop producing large areas of lace products, like full lace wigs, 360 lace wigs, melt lace wig. These lace wigs will stop being produced after being out of stock. That is why some customers said that they found 13x6 lace frontal wigs are not the same as before. Because there are also some changes of 13x6 lace frontal wigs: the areas of 13x6 lace frontals become smaller, the sides of 13x6 lace frontals also become narrow.

There are no lace wigs in 8 inches anymore. In the buy 2 get 1 free wigs market, the shortest hair length of lace wigs is 14 inches or 16 inches now.

4) Knots Are Bigger Than Before
Due to different lace production, the hair knots made in China are bigger than the hair knots made in South Korea. The hair knots are big because they are all double knots.

There were different lace colours before, like medium brown lace, light brown lace, transparent lace, etc. But these lace colours can not be available to each size of lace wigs now. Lace colours are versatile, they may vary from lot to lot. If a customer wants a certain lace colour, he needs to communicate with the sellers in advance.

How Long Do Human Hair Wigs Last?

Human hair wigs offer the most natural look and feel. And while they can be the more expensive pick, with the proper care, they are also more durable. Human hair wigs can last between 1 and 3 years. They are remarkably soft with a shine and movement that is not easily duplicated in synthetic hair.

There are generally four basic types of human hair used in wigs: Chinese, Indonesian, Indian and European/Caucasian. The majority of wigs are made from Asian hair. Chinese hair has a thicker denier (unit of fineness) which results in the hair being extremely straight. It is a bit more resistant to curl and can therefore be harder to style. Indonesian hair is found in greater supply and is less costly -- it can often be found in ethnic style wigs. Indian hair has a thinner denier close to that of European hair but with a bit more texture. European hair is the most sought after for its fine denier but due to its increasingly limited supply in the marketplace, it is more expensive.

The origin of the hair is not the only factor, however. The processing technique is directly related to the strength and quality of the end-product. The chemicals needed, to sanitize and strip away the original color to produce different curl patterns and colors, are very strong and can affect the integrity of the hair depending on the method used. When a higher quality of chemicals and a more artful approach to processing is used, the results are higher quality products and thus higher prices.

Remy human hair is considered a premium option. Hair follicles are kept running in the same direction when collecting and crafting the wig or hairpiece. With cuticles all running in the same direction, tangling is greatly reduced and hair looks and feels silkier. Beware imposters with the suspiciously low-priced product – on Wigs.com you’ll only find high-grade Remy hair.

It is extremely important to use care products specifically formulated for highly processed human hair. Also, keep in mind that wearable hair does not benefit from naturally occurring oils from the scalp. It is important to hydrate and condition hair daily.

Human hair wigs vs synthetic hair wigs:

There are four kinds of human hair lace wigs in the market, human hair lace front wigs, full lace human hair wigs, u part wig human hair and human hair headband wigs. This classification method is depending on the lace area. Among all of them, human hair lace front wigs with baby hair and full lace human hair wigs with baby hair are the common choice for women.


Synthetic wigs have been manufactured in different shapes, curly, straight, big curls, colored, etc. The fibres or nylon of synthetic wigs can persistent maintenance the curls, waves, and hair volume even washed the wig many times. You only need to slightly comb your hair, then the hair will recover to the original shape, easy to handle.

The disadvantage of human hair wigs:

Styling: Human hair wigs are labour-intensive. They take skill and effort to style. Always consult a stylist before attempting to style a human hair wig on your own.
Upkeep: Like with natural hair, these wigs need to be washed, deep-conditioned and re-styled regularly to maintain their natural lustre.
Weight: Human hair wigs typically feel heavier than synthetic or heat-friendly synthetic wigs of the same style and length.
Cost: Because they’re made from real human hair, these wigs can be significantly more expensive.
Delicate: Human hair wigs incur damage from brushing, teasing, backcombing, washing and using heated styling tools. Ask yourself before you restyle your human hair wig, is it too soon to do this yet? (Because you know that it’s delicate...)
Colour-matching: It’s almost impossible to replicate an exact color match with human hair wigs, even when you’re trying to purchase a backup of the same wig.
Weather Dependency: Like your natural hair, human hair wigs become frizzy, limp, or dry depending on the weather.
