The Cady has thick backswept hair in the front thick enough for spiking. The back of this wig is shorter and not suitable for heavy spiking. Lacefronts are the best way to have a natural-looking hairline and are meant to be attached to your head with spirit gum or lacefront tape. We advise trimming extra lace before trying on the wig, as lace doesn't stretch and may rip if not trimmed. We recommend an opaque nylon wig cap be used if you have darker hair. We do our best to display wigs accurately, but display heads are smaller than life, and colors may appear different based on screens. Consider purchasing our color samples first. Specs: 23" cap before stretch | 11" lace hairline ear to ear | 0.75" to 1" ventilated hairline | Overall hair in front 4"-6" and 2" in back | Heat-resistant up to 420°F/300-325°F recommended.
