Medical Wig FAQs
A medical wig, also known as a cranial prosthesis, is a wig that is used for medical reasons and not for cosmetic (fashion) reasons. While some women wear wigs for cosmetic reasons, the majority of us are wearing wigs because we have progressive or advanced hair loss due to medical conditions like alopecia, cancer, chemotherapy, lupus, thyroid, or androgenic alopecia or female pattern baldness.
Encelia® Medical Gripper wig features a soft internal, ultra-thin, medical-grade silicone headband, which comfortably grips your head, keeping you wig and lace front wig firmly in place all day—no glue, no spray, & no wig grips required!
A lace front wig recreates a hairline that has been lost and needs to be recreated. Hair is attached to lace in the front part of the wig with the hope that it looks like hair is growing from your scalp and recreates a hairline.
Keep in mind not all lace front wigs are created equal. A lot of detail goes into the making of a realistic hairline. At Encelia, we use a soft, comfy Swiss lace that is translucent and undetectable to the naked eye. Our knots are tiny and bleached and then we follow a feathered zigzag approach, which makes our hairline soft and virtually indistinguishable from your own. *Note: We have different shades of lace so if you have a darker complexion, we can make a lace front that matches your skin tone.
Most lace front wigs require glue or adhesive to prevent the lace from lifting throughout the day. At Encelia, we believe a wig should be functional and easy to wear. We believe lace front wigs should be glueless. Our lace front wig stays firmly in place all day because we have built-in two kinds internal headbands that grip to the wig and keep the wig firmly in place all day.
- INTERNAL MEDICAL GRADE SILICONE HEADBAND: 1.5" inch silicone headband wraps from ear to ear and then along the nap, which grips to the head, which keeping your wig and lace front firmly in place all day.
- INTERNAL REMOVABLE JERSEY KNIT WIG GRIP HEADAND: 1.5" inch ultra-soft, washable, brushed jersey (think Vuori) wraps from ear to ear and then along the nap. Silicone free grippers are added to help make this wig slip-proof while also being breathable because the jersey wicks moisture and drys quickly.

Many women get overwhelmed with cutting lace front wigs so at Encelia, our lace front wigs come pre-cut with baby hairs cut in so you don't have to worry about a wig. However, because the lace is delicate you will have to trim your lace every six months or so. Click here to see a detailed step by step tutorial.
The lace front is the most delicate part of the wig. In general, you don't really want to mess with it so try to keep it makeup free. Lace can easily rip, stretch and fay so great care should go into cleaning it. If you need to remove makeup, it's best to just let the wig sit in a basin filled with a moisturizing shampoo. Do not rub, pick or use makeup remover.
At Encelia, because we want your lace front wig to last a year and half to two years we have purposely designed our lace front wig to sit snug so that you don't need to use adhesives so all you have to do is put it on and go!

At Encelia, the lifespan of your lace front wig will vary depending on its maintenance, frequency of use, and the hair type you choose:
- Remy Human Hair: 16 to 24 months
- Luxury Synthetic: 12 to 15 months
- Heat Friendly Synthetic: 6 to 8 months
Proper care and products will help prolonging its lifespan but about half way through it's life you will need to trim the lace because the lace will fray and you will lose hair. Click here for a detailed tutorial on how to trim your lace front.
We do not recommend sleeping in a lace front wig because the lace is so delicate. A better option is our headband wig because it's lace free, flexible and super comfy.
We understand that letting go of a wig is hard because they are expensive to buy. Here are some helpful tips on when and how to let go and recycle your wig.
- Are you worried or thinking about the wig when your wearing it? Maybe it's too thin or has a hole or the lace front just isn't looking right. In general, if you are concerned about how your wig looks then it might be time to let it go.
- Is it itchy or uncomfortable? Has the hair "inverted"? When hair inverts or comes inside the cap it can be very itchy and it might be time to retire it.
- Does it fit well? Wigs that are too big feel you with fear and wigs that are too small can cause tension headache.
Notice how we don't mention the condition of the hair. Most hair can be restored. For human hair wigs, consider doing an overnight keratin, deep moisturizing mask. For synthetic, try restoring the fiber with water and a flat iron. If you do these things and the hair still doesn't look the way you want, try re-toning or coloring your wig. And, if that doesn't work well it's time retire it. Wig hair isn't might to last forever so please keep that in mind.
When you decide to let go and recycle it, please learn about our recycling program here.
