As a girl who loves to try different wig styles, I have used wigs for several years, especially 13x4 and 13x6 lace frontal wigs. So today I want to talk to you about the difference between these two wigs and how to choose the right style according to your needs.
My experience with 13x4 wig
When I first tried a lace frontal wig, I chose
13x4 lace front wig because it was cheaper and had more styles to choose from. At that time, I felt that the depth of 4 inches was enough, and it would be natural to have a slight slit in the front. Especially if you like to tie a half ponytail or low ponytail like me, this depth is completely enough, saving worry and money.
But it also has limitations. For example, once I wanted to try a long straight middle part, I found that the depth of the parting was a bit shallow. I could see the edge of the lace by slightly adjusting the angle, which made me a little embarrassed. Moreover, if you like to tie a high ponytail or a full-cover hairstyle, the 13x4 lace area may not be flexible enough.
Why did I prefer 13x6 later?
Later, I bought a 13x6 lace frontal wig. To be honest, the feeling of wearing it for the first time was really amazing. The 6-inch depth gave me greater styling freedom, and the range of the parting was more natural, such as side parting, large side parting, or even grabbing a direction at will, without any restrictions. Moreover, for people like me who have a little "hair volume anxiety", the 13x6 lace area can make the hairstyle look more real and close to my own scalp effect.
In addition, the 13x6 wig is very suitable for some complex styles, such as bangs braided hair, fluffy middle-parted hair, etc., especially when going out for activities or parties, wearing it really makes me more confident.
However, there is a problem with the 13x6 wig, which is that it is more expensive than the 13x4 and is a little more complicated to install. If you are a novice, you may need to spend some time to get used to it. However, I think these shortcomings are acceptable, after all, the effect is really great!
How to choose the lace frontal that suits you?
- Look at the budget: If the budget is limited, the 13x4 is cost-effective and suitable for daily use; and if you are willing to spend a little more money to pursue a more natural effect, the 13x6 lace front wig is worth investing in.
- Look at the hairstyle needs: If you like simple hairstyles or low ponytails, 13x4 is enough; but if you like to try various partings and styles like me, 13x6 will be a better choice.
- Look at the occasion: 13x4 is enough for daily commuting or staying at home; 13x6 is more colorful when attending important events or wanting the wig to look more realistic.
My summary and suggestions
If you are just starting to try lace frontal wigs, you can start with 13x4, which is simple and easy to operate; and when you have a certain understanding of wigs and want to pursue a more flexible and natural styling effect, 13x6 is definitely a worthy upgrade!
