How to distinguish HD Lace & Transparent Lace

HD lace and transparent lace are both types of lace used in the construction of wigs and hairpieces.

HD stands for “high definition.” HD lace is a royal lace material that is also called Swiss lace, which is invisible when applied to the scalp. This ensures that the wig-wearer can have an exposed hairline, which looks very natural and renders the lace along the hairline highly undetectable. In regard to quality, HD lace is the thinner of the two. However, it is durable and comparatively soft. It also has the most delicate base, which is perfect for use within the front, since it is essentially invisible and doesn’t show. But please handle with extreme caution. Because HD Lace is so thin, the lace is super easy to rip. Do not pull, tug or continuously brush the hair on these HD Lace frontals/closures.

On the other hand, Transparent lace is the regular lace in a transparent color. There are four different regular lace colors, including dark brown, medium brown, light brown and transparent. It is important to choose the right color to better match one’s skin tone. Transparent Lace is a type of lace that is slightly thicker and more durable than HD Lace.
