Lace Wig Density Chart
UNDERSTANDING WIG DENSITY: CHOOSING THE PERFECT LOOK
What is Wig Density?
Wig density refers to how thick or thin the hair on your lace wig appears. It determines the overall fullness of the wig, impacting its natural look and styling versatility. The standard and most popular choice is 120% - 130% (Natural/Light Density), which closely mimics the average human head of hair, typically ranging between 100% - 120% density.
How to Choose the Best Wig Density for You
Selecting the right density depends on your personal style, face shape, and hair goals. Do you prefer a lightweight, everyday look or a voluminous, glamorous style? Our guide below breaks down each density level to help you make an informed decision.
Wig Density Chart & Guide
90% (Sparse Density) – Ideal for clients with naturally thin hair seeking a very realistic, age-appropriate look. Keep in mind, this density is delicate and may require re-ventilation or wig replacement sooner.
100% - 110% (Extra Light Density) – Best for those with fine or thin natural hair who want to replicate their natural hair thickness without excessive volume.
120% - 130% (Natural/Light Density) – A balanced, realistic option that is neither too thick nor too thin. This is our standard stock wig density. Features a slightly lighter density at the hairline for a seamless transition to a fuller overall look.
150% (Natural/Medium Density) – Offers a slightly fuller appearance with added body and movement while maintaining a natural flow.
180% (Full Density) – Recommended for clients who love thick, voluminous styles. Best suited for wigs 20 inches or longer for a naturally full effect.
200% (Extra Full/Glam Density) – The ultimate choice for ultra-thick, luxurious hair. Perfect for those wanting a red-carpet-ready or celebrity-inspired look. Best for wigs 24 inches or longer.
Our Density Recommendations Based on Hair Length
Hair length significantly impacts how density appears. A 12-inch wig at 150% density will look much fuller than a 24-inch wig at the same density. Use this guide to choose the right density for your desired length:
-
12" - 14" → 120% - 130%
-
16" - 18" → 150%
-
20" - 24" → 180%
-
26" - 30" → 200%+
Custom Wig Density Options
For a completely personalized look, order a Custom Wig and select your preferred density:
-
Hairline Density (Recommended: 90% - 100% for a natural transition)
-
Overall Density (Choose based on desired fullness)
⭐ Pro Tip: It’s always better to start with more density—you can thin out a wig if needed, but adding hair later is more difficult. A fuller density ensures longevity, even with regular styling and shedding over time.
