Bleached Knots, Density & Lace: A Beginner’s Guide to Human Hair Wigs

When it comes to choosing your first human hair wig, the options can feel endless — lace front or full lace, light density or thick, bleached knots or unbleached? Understanding these terms isn’t just about industry jargon; it’s about helping you find the perfect unit that looks and feels most natural for you.

At Lace Fronts Australia, we believe every wig should enhance your confidence — not confuse you. So, let’s break down three of the most common terms you’ll come across when exploring human hair wigs: bleached knots, density, and lace.

What Are Bleached Knots — and Why Do They Matter?

Each strand of hair on a lace wig is carefully hand-tied into the lace base, forming small knots where the hair meets the lace. These knots can sometimes appear as tiny dark dots along the scalp, especially in lighter colours.

Bleached knots are exactly what they sound like — the knots are lightly bleached to make them less visible. This creates the illusion that hair is growing directly from your scalp, giving a more realistic and seamless hairline.

✨ Tip from our experts: If you wear your wig daily or prefer a part that reveals the scalp, opt for a bleached-knots human hair wig. It’s ideal for achieving that soft, natural transition between your skin and the lace.

However, it’s important to note that bleaching is a chemical process. Over-bleaching can weaken the lace or shorten the wig’s lifespan. That’s why at Lace Fronts Australia, our custom wigs are professionally pre-lightened to the perfect level — balancing realism with durability.

Understanding Wig Density: From Natural to Glamorous Volume

“Density” refers to how much hair is on the wig cap — in other words, its fullness. The right wig density depends on your personal style and comfort.

Here’s a quick guide to help you decide:

At Lace Fronts Australia, we offer a range of wig densities so you can choose the level of fullness that suits your lifestyle. Whether you want a soft, natural drape or a high-glam moment, the right density helps your wig move and behave beautifully — just like real hair.

Lace Types: The Foundation of a Flawless Look

The lace is the base of your wig — and it determines how realistic and comfortable your unit will feel.

The most common types include:

- Lace Front Wig – Features lace only along the hairline, giving the illusion of a natural front while keeping the rest of the cap structured. It’s breathable, secure, and easy to apply — perfect for everyday wear.

- Full Lace Wig – Made entirely of lace, allowing for free-parting and up-do versatility. Ideal for clients who love styling flexibility.

- HD Lace / Transparent Lace – Finer and softer lace that melts seamlessly into most skin tones for an invisible finish.

If you’re new to wigs, we recommend starting with a lace front human hair wig — it’s easier to manage and offers a natural look straight out of the box.
