yea thats why i wanted to try a lace front or a wig..my hair is not short but gosh here in houston its so humid and having my real hair on my neck makes it all sticky and starts coming out and its horrible...

its not for a daily basis every single day..its just for most of the summer..thats just how it is here in the south

Lace fronts are not meant to be worn for an extended period of time like traditional weaves. And this is coming from hair stylists that I know that make them. You are using glue to attach the wig to your hairline/forehead/all around the head . . . and apparently with the mixing of your body's sweat and whatnot, the glue will loosen up and so will your lace front. And when you wash your face the glue will also loosen up from that. That is why you're supposed to take them off at night and reapply them the next morning or whenever is the next time you plan on wearing the wig.

I think lace fronts are still considered costume wear. A woman came into the salon where I used to work and she had a lace front -- a POORLY made lace front at that and it looked horrendous. Not only was she not wearing any foundation to mask the "hairline" of the lace front but the glue was grayish and it just looked bad. Really bad. It looked like she slapped the lace front on and put a line of glue around her hairline and walked out of the house. And apparently lace front application can take as long as thirty minutes because you have to glue all around your head -- not just the front but in the back and on the sides.

The ability to change your look every day.

Wigs being manufactured nowadays aren't like the ones in the past. Especially the top quality ones. They look like your real hair and some even have bangs attachment so it doesn't appear like you're wearing a wig.

LOL!

That's the lace and the glue you're seeing. You don't see in the magazine photos because they airbrush it out but in those pictures from events and whatnot, you can see where the lace front starts. NOT a good look.

ITA, lipshock. I've seen quite a few pictures of Beyoncé's lacefront lifting off like a space shuttle. I don't think they're as easy to maintain for the average person. Matter of fact, here's a pic of her hair mishap right here:

Maybe that is for the best.

The thing is Beyonce wears lace fronts, traditional wigs as well as weaves/extensions so she achieves the looks you see in various ways.

A few average janes have gotten the look down. I have seen it myself in person. But they are not hard to find and they had to practice. I think there are videos on youtube explaining the procedure.
