You want to match the lace color with your scalp complexion not your skin tone. This is because when you part the unit, you want it to appear as your natural scalp color. So to check your scalp color - part your hair and look at the color of your scalp to determine your lace color.
Follow These Guidelines - Lace Choice Color:
Transparent: For White, Off White or Cream scalp tones. Ie. Liv Tyler, Jessica Simpson, Jenna Jameson, Charlize Theron etc.
Beige/Nude: For Light Beige or Beige scalp tones. Ie: Ciara, Eva Mendez, Eva Longoria
Light Brown: For Light Brown scalp tones. Ie. Tyra Banks, Beyonce, Alica Keys, Rihanna
Dark Brown: For Dark Brown scalp tones. Ie. Naomi Campbell, Serena Williams, Kelly Rowland
Black: This color is only recomended if you your scalp color is very dark and you are ordering a wig in color 1 or 1b. Most people with dark skin tone prefer the Dark brown
HINT: It is better to err on the side of too light rather than too dark.
The French Lace is delicate and not detectable. It is more durable and will hold up better over the long run.
The Swiss lace is slightly thinner, it is only slightly little less detectable, however it is less durable and it rips easier.
It’s hard to tell the difference between the two. Both are undetectable. Most people order the French Lace. The Swiss Lace is not recommended for first time users. It is best to learn how to apply the wig and become skilled at the application prior to advancing to the Swiss Lace.
