Wigs are popular. There’s no doubt about it. People wear them to change their looks, stand out for a special occasion, or supplement hair loss due to medical conditions. Regardless of the reason, someone new to the wig arena might wonder which one’s right for them.
Let’s face it – there are more options than one when it comes to wig types. With such a vast selection, it can be hard to choose. And while most people are familiar with lace wigs, either lace front or full lace, the realization of 360 types can throw you for a loop.
So, are you here because you want to find out more about 360 wigs? Of course, you are. And I’m here to help. Who knows? By the end of this informative post, you might be on your way to a brand new 360 lace wig.

What is a 360 Lace Wig?
The best way to describe what a 360 lace wig is, is to look directly at the name itself—360 lace. A 360 lace wig is designed with lace that goes around the entire perimeter of the wig. The middle, however, remains a breathable cap.
What does this mean for the 360 wig wearer? Well, with lace around the entire perimeter, you’re able to do more hairstyles without the worry of anything showing. And yes – that means you can finally style your favorite Arianna Grande-inspired high ponytail.
However, it’s not all bells and whistles with the 360. While this wig is more versatile, it still can’t do everything. Since a cap remains, certain hairstyles like side ponytails and space buns are more challenging – if not impossible – to pull off.
Which is Better Full Lace or 360?
Okay, so it sounds pretty good. More versatility when it comes to hairstyling. But should you choose a 360 lace wig over a full lace wig? Which one is better?
It’s pretty simple: if you’re not counting the price tag, then a 360 wig is better. It is far easier to install than a 360, making it a great option for beginners and busy businesswomen. It is also noticeably more comfortable than a full lace wig, thanks to the breathable cap.
However, the major advantage of a full lace wig is that you can do any hairstyle. So, if you’re planning on keeping up with the latest trends and style your wig often, you might want to spend the extra money and time with a full lace option.
Can You Part a 360 Wig Anywhere?
Hair parting has certainly become a major issue in the styling world, with Gen Z putting side parts on the no-no list. But ladies, feel free to part your hair wherever you want. And the easiest way to do this is with a 360 lace wig.
The 360 lace wig design allows for all types of parting, whether you’re with the on-trend middle part or love the way your face is framed with a deep side part.
How Do You Wear a 360 Lace Wig?
A 360 lace wig is just like any other type of wig. It can be secured using glue, a wig grip cap, or it can be professionally installed. A salon stylist can sew the wig into your natural mane. This type of application lasts for several weeks and will need to be regularly maintained.
Certain adhesive glues can allow for your 360 lace wig to last up to six weeks at a time. Typically, most bonds will allow for up to four weeks, though. At that point, you will need to take off the wig, let your scalp breathe, and tend to your wig.
After the wig has been applied with glue, a wig grip, or professional sewing, you can style however you please. Pluck extra hairs to improve the hairline if necessary. Then, choose the perfect parting and style like your natural locks.

How Long Does a 360 Lace Wig Last?
Well, that’s difficult to say. It depends on how high-quality the wig is. A wig made with 100% Remy human hair and has a high percentage of density will last much longer than a synthetic wig with less density.
So, when you’re shopping for a 360 lace wig, don’t hesitate to spend a little more (if you can). From there, make sure you properly maintain the wig. Use wig products for shampooing and conditioning. Try not to use heating tools too often.
Final Thoughts
A 360 lace front wig is an excellent, budget-friendly option for switching up your style. However, certain hairdos are still off-limits, like space buns and side ponytails.
The 360 lace wig opens up the possibility for high ponytails, though, and they are incredibly comfortable and natural-looking.
