So many customers want to know the answer to this question. We must say, without any hesitation, that if this is your first wig purchase, definitely go with French lace. Matter of fact, don’t think about buying a Swiss lace wig until you have worn a few wigs, are confident in your application and removal routine, and are experienced at proper care of a lace front wig. French lace is the standard type of lace used in lace front wigs. The lace is thicker, more durable, and firmer than Swiss lace. Swiss lace is finer, softer, but far more prone to wear and tear, including holes or tears in the lace. It’s not advisable to use extended bonding times on swiss lace wigs.
