• Versatile, Adaptable Hairstyle: 

The lace front involves lace only at the beginning maximally till the head crown. And if you desire your hairstyle to seem real, you need to make a partition line to where the lace is. So, you can not make any partitions and hairdos you aspire to. You can establish a front-side part, middle part, and top-knot hairstyle. But you can not wear it in a ponytail, or high bun. Instead, it is most suitable for low, flat ponytails and low buns. Otherwise, wefts in the back head can be seen. 

In comparison, full lace wigs are completely manually tied and only contain lace in all wig construction and the wig’s perimeter too. There are no wefts and tracks. Traditionally, it has no particular part. You can freely do it all over your head when applying a full lace wig. It gives you the highest versatility in making hairstyles. If you want to tie hair high up or make two Dutch braids while creating a partition line from the front hairline to the nape of the neck or any kind of hairstyle you want, then full lace is the fittest.

Therefore, only the front side provides you with a realistic appearance, and the backside of the hair looks unnatural. However, it does not become visible to others unless unraveled the backside of the head.

• Breathability:

A lace front wig has less (netted material) lace in the wig production, while a human hair full lace wig only has lace in the structure.

So, a full lace wig allows tremendous breathability.

• Weight:

The reason is, in the lace front, you require to stick down and focus on blending the lace only at the front. Moreover, it is helpful if someone is a newbie and wants to get ready a bit early, then a lace front wig is most suited for you.
