Wig talk, made simple.

Lace & hairline

HD lace

An ultra-thin, sheer lace that blends into most skin tones, so the hairline looks like it's growing from your scalp. Every Luxe wig is made on HD lace.

Lace front

A wig with lace only along the front hairline. The rest of the wig is a regular cap.

Frontal

A strip of lace that runs from ear to ear across the front of the wig, so you can part your hair anywhere along the front and wear it swept back.

Closure

A square of lace at the top of the wig where you part your hair. A 7x7 closure gives you a 7 by 7 inch area for parting.

Full lace

The entire cap is made of lace, so you can part anywhere and style more freely, including higher updos on many styles.

Bleached knots

The tiny knots where hair is tied to the lace are lightened so they disappear against your scalp for a more natural look.

The melt

When the lace blends so seamlessly into your skin that you can't tell where the wig begins.

Fit & wear

Cap size

The measurement around your head, from your hairline above your ears to the nape of your neck. Luxe caps come in Small (21 inch), Medium (22 inch) and Large (23 inch).

Adjustable band

An elastic band at the back of the wig that you can tighten or loosen for a snug, comfortable fit.

Combs

Small clips sewn inside the cap that grip your hair or wig cap to keep the wig secure.

Glueless

Wearing your wig without adhesive, using the band and combs instead. Most Luxe styles can be worn glueless; a few may need a stylist's customization.

Install

Putting on and securing your wig, including laying the lace so it blends with your skin. We recommend having your first install done by a professional.

Wig cap or wig grip

A thin cap or band worn under your wig to keep your own hair flat and the wig in place.

Braid & curl styles

Box braids

Classic braids divided into neat, square sections.

Knotless braids

Braids that start flat and flush at the base, without a bulky knot, for a lighter, more natural look.

Micro, extra small & medium

The thickness of the braids. Micro braids are the finest; medium braids are fuller and bolder.

Boho braids

Also called bohemian or goddess braids: braids with loose curly pieces throughout for a soft, romantic look.

Human hair curls

Curly pieces made from real human hair. They feel softer, move more naturally and can be refreshed with water and a little product.

Cornrows

Braids woven flat against the scalp in rows, often flowing into longer braids.

French curls

Braids finished with bouncy, wavy curled ends.

Passion twists

Fluffy, springy two-strand twists with a soft, bohemian texture.

Island twists

Long, defined twists with a polished finish, often paired with curly pieces.

Distressed locs

Faux locs with a textured, slightly undone finish for a natural, lived-in look.

Extension fiber

Premium braiding hair used for the braids themselves. It's lightweight and holds its style beautifully.
