Today, grabbing a glueless wig, slipping it on, and going out is a natural occurrence. We can remove it in seconds before bed, letting our natural hair and scalp breathe freely all night. It saves time, protects our hairline, and gives us the freedom to change our style anytime, anywhere. But have you ever stopped to wonder: Who invented the revolutionary glueless wigs?
What Are Glueless Wigs?
Glueless wigs don't rely on any glue or adhesive. Therefore, they protect girls' hairlines and avoid the allergic reactions caused by the glue, making everyday styling effortless and stress-free. These wigs are typically installed with an elastic band, removable combs, and sometimes an adjustable drawstring or Velcro. According to the lace absence situation, glueless wigs can be divided into two types: glueless lace wigs and no-lace glueless wigs.
Glueless lace wigs: 7x5 lace wig, 9x6 m cap wigs, 360 lace wig, T part wig, 13x4 lace frontal wig, and 13x6 lace wig.
No-lace glueless wigs: v part wig, u part wig, headband wig, wigs with bangs, and half wig.
Who Invented Glueless Lace Wigs?
The birth of glueless lace wigs can be traced back to the early 2000s. At that time, a growing number of Black women were seeking natural-looking wigs that didn't damage their hairlines.
At that time, some wig brands pioneered the innovative "adjustable strap + built-in combing clip" design, allowing wigs to be securely worn without glue.
Later, in the 2010s, BGMgirl, one of the first wig factories, used softer, more breathable, more melted HD lace or HD scalp lace to make a lace wig. Besides, it also pioneered the concept and design of pre-cut lace, pre-plucked hairline, and pre-bleached knots, creating the hit wear and go glueless wig in recent years.
Who Invented The Glueless Half Wig?
Glueless half wigs offer a more flexible and customizable option. The concept of a half wig originated in the hairdressing world of the 1990s, when women would secure their half wigs to the back of their heads with clips or combs, seamlessly blending their natural hair into the wig.
With the advancement of glue-free technology, some wig manufacturers, such as BGMgirl in the 2010s, have begun incorporating adjustable fixings like elastic bands, removable combs, invisible adjustable drawstrings, 3D dome caps, and invisible weft tracks along the wig cap's edge, making them truly "glueless half wigs." This not only makes them quicker to put on but also allows more room for natural hair to breathe, making them ideal for hot weather or active lifestyles.
