 Topic: Lace wig with side bang specs
Posted: Jan 23 2013 at 1:27pm |
I want to order a full lace wig and create a side bang in the front like the video below. The first wig I purchased was a bit bulky and wiggy looking at the front so I want to get it right this time. I had it thinned out at the front however it still had the 'closure-it's a wig!' look about it lol  It was a stock lace wig so hopefully I can remedy that problem slightly by ordering a custom lace wig from a CV. Can anyone help me by telling me what density in the video is at the front so I know what specs to give the CV? Any help would be much appreciated...  |

bella, that wig in the video was very thick, probably 100-110 % density.
If you want a natural density, I'd say 80% is the better density. But, since you are doing custom, why not just order it with a long bang at 80-90%? I would do that, and then if it is too thick, you don't have a lot of thinning to do. Any cv should be able to do that, and you can browse a site like Ruth's beauty or other vendor who has styled units, and send them the link.
eta: I do not like the wig in that video at all, sorry.

The wig does look a little thick. I like the style she did w/ the bangs though. I see nothing wrong w/ it. Anyway, I agree w/ the poster before me... you should order a light density at about 80%. I own a unit that is 60-70% density throughout & it looks so natural. Friends who know I wear wigs were talking about me to my best friend & asking if the hair was my real hair & saying how much my hair grew. Nobody had a clue that it was a wig lol. Well with that being said, about 70 - 80% or so is a natural range.

Just as an example, I am NOT endorsing the site, just showing a picture of a more realistic density for a side bang, IMO.

This one is thick too. I understand wanting a fuller look, so I go light density in the front and heavy in the back.

Yes, it is on the heavy side, I think that with yaki hair, even some vendors light yaki, it comes out looking thick. Forget who it was here that posted a long while back, her BEAUTIFUL yaki or ks app, with like 70% density, and it was so beautiful! I think it was Qualified . . . god her hair was FIERCE!

I'll have a browse through those sites. Never realized 70% density would be ok. It sounds so thin! I will have to give it a try...I'll ask for lighter in the front and heavier at the back.

You don't have to go that light. You could actually probably just tweeze your part on that unit to make it more realistic. The side bang was lovely though, and it was a nice tutorial.
