Swiss Lace

Swiss lace is a fine material and should be handled with care. The net is finer than French lace, so it is less noticeable than French lace. Swiss lace is softer and more delicate than French lace, but it is more likely to tear when used. Therefore, Swiss lace cannot withstand high-density hair; medium-density hair is the maximum. The lifespan of Swiss lace wigs is shorter than that of French lace wigs. Swiss lace is more likely to tear, so extra care must be taken when handling and wearing these wigs.

French Lace

French lace is the most commonly used lace in wig systems. It is the strongest of the cap laces and is recommended for first-time buyers due to its durability. Although both laces are barely noticeable on the scalp, French lace is the more noticeable of the two due to its strength and thickness. French lace can withstand medium-density hair; if it is thicker, the lace will tear easily. The lifespan of a French lace wig is usually 4-6 months. If it is properly maintained, the lifespan may be longer. Generally speaking, French lace is used more frequently than Swiss lace.

Finally, Swiss lace or French lace? It's all up to you. Swiss lace is a good choice if you want a softer, more invisible base and less hair density. French lace would be a good choice if you want your wig to last longer and need more hair density.
