13*4 Lace Front Wig
What is a 13x4 lace front wig?
A 13x4 lace front wig features a lace panel that measures 13 inches wide (ear to ear) and 4 inches deep at the front. That ear-to-ear coverage creates a realistic hairline across the forehead, and the 4" depth offers room for center, side, and C-parting styles without needing a full lace cap. This makes 13x4 wigs a great balance of natural appearance and cost-effectiveness.
Why shoppers choose 13x4 (benefits)
Natural hairline: Ear-to-ear lace creates an undetectable transition from skin to wig.
Versatile parting: 4" depth lets you do center, side, or small deep parts with realistic movement.
Faster install: Smaller lace area means quicker application (great for busy people).
Cost-effective: Cheaper than deeper frontals (13x5/13x6) while still looking realistic.
Styling friendly: Human hair 13x4 wigs can be heat-styled, colored, and blended with your natural hair.
13x4 vs 13x5 vs 13x6 — which to pick?
The main difference is parting depth:
13x4: Best for most users who want natural parting without a very deep part.
13x5: Slightly deeper parting for more styling flexibility.
13x6: Best if you want a very deep part or lots of movement near the crown.
Choose 13x4 if you mainly use center or side parts and prefer quicker installs with a natural look.
Lifespan — how long will a 13x4 last?
Lifespan depends on hair quality and how you wear and care for it:
High-quality 100% human hair: with proper care, 6 months to 2 years (daily wear at the short end; occasional wear and careful maintenance at the long end).
Human-hair blends / lower grades: typically 3–9 months.
Store on a wig stand, avoid heavy adhesives every day, and follow gentle wash routines to maximize life.
Quick installation (safe starter steps)
Prepare: Clean and flat your natural hair (braids or cornrows) and protect the hairline with a skin-safe barrier if needed.
Cut the lace: Place the wig, align ear to ear, trim excess lace leaving 1–2 mm from the hairline. Cut slowly.
Secure: Use wig tape, glue, or an adjustable wig band depending on your preference. Start from the center and press outward.
Blend & style: Part and style the lace front, melt the hairline with a hot comb or concealer if desired. Trim baby hairs for realism.
(If you’re new to adhesive use, try an adhesive-free method first—wig clips or an elastic band.)
Maintenance & cleaning (practical tips)
Washing frequency: Every 1–2 weeks of regular wear, or monthly for occasional use. Adjust based on sweat, product buildup, and activity.
How to wash: Detangle gently, shampoo from roots to ends in downward strokes, condition, rinse thoroughly, and air-dry on a wig stand. Never rub or twist the lace.
Styling: Use a heat protectant when using irons/blow dryers. Avoid excessive high heat.
Storage: Keep on a wig stand or in a silk/satin bag to prevent tangling and preserve shape.
Styling, coloring & safety
Dyeing: 100% human hair wigs can be dyed, but always perform a strand test and consider a professional colorist.
Heat tools: Use medium settings and a heat protectant. Avoid daily high-heat styling to extend life.
Swimming: Chlorine and salt water can damage both hair and lace adhesives—minimize exposure and rinse promptly.
