Benefits of technology

The invention provides a way to keep a lace wig or frontal in place without using glue or tape. A strap or elastic band is attached to the hair piece, which holds it flat against the skin and makes it look more natural by tightening around the ear area. This makes it easier to keep the lace piece in place and can make it more comfortable to wear.

Problems solved by technology

However, when users put on a lace wig, lace front wig, or any hair piece that has lace in the front, the user usually has a problem with the lace wig not attaching correctly around the scalp and ear area.
Users also have problems with losing hair and irritated skin due to the use of glue or tape to attach these lace wig, lace wig frontal, or any hair piece that has lace in the front, at the front hair line.
The combs, although keeping the lace wig in place, do not allow the front of the lace wig to sit flat against the scalp due to the increase thickness of the comb attached to the lace wig.
