Hair & Lace Glossary
Every term you will meet on a Jegomo product page, explained without jargon.
Lace
- HD Swiss lace
- The finest lace we stock. Very thin, melts into the scalp, usually pre-plucked. Handle gently during install.
- Transparent lace
- Slightly thicker and stronger than HD, tinted to read as skin on light to medium tones. Easier to work with, still discreet.
- 13x4
- A 13-inch ear-to-ear frontal with 4 inches of depth. Free parting across the front.
- 13x6
- A 13-inch frontal with 6 inches of depth — deeper middle, side and half-up parting.
- 9x6 / 7x5
- Wide glueless closures. Pre-cut lace, generous parting, made to wear straight out of the box.
- 5x5 / 4x4
- Compact crown closures. Neat, durable and ideal for bobs and protective daily wear.
Density
- 180 density
- Natural, lightweight. Best for everyday wear and shorter lengths.
- 200 density
- Full without being heavy. Our most-chosen option from 22" upward.
- 250 density
- Noticeably thick, holds shape well, strong on camera.
- 300 density
- Maximum volume, mostly used for curly, kinky and afro textures.
Cap & construction
- Glueless
- Pre-cut lace worn with adjustable straps and combs where fitted — no adhesive required.
- Glue-in
- Uncut lace installed with adhesive for a longer-wear, flush hairline.
- Pre-plucked
- The hairline has been thinned by hand so it reads as a natural density instead of a blunt line.
- Adjustable band
- Elastic straps inside the cap that tighten the fit, commonly across a 21.5"–25" range.
Texture
- Bone straight
- Sleek, flat, no wave. Shows length clearly.
- Water wave
- Soft, loose S-wave that revives with water and leave-in.
- Deep wave
- Tighter, deeper wave pattern with more visible volume.
- Kinky curly
- Tight coil pattern that mirrors natural 4-type texture.
- Kinky straight
- Yaki-style straight with a blown-out natural texture, blends with relaxed hair.
Common questions
What is the difference between HD Swiss lace and transparent lace?+
HD Swiss lace is a finer, thinner lace that melts more closely into the scalp and is usually used for pre-plucked hairlines. Transparent lace is slightly thicker and more durable, and reads well on light to medium skin tones. HD lace looks more invisible; transparent lace is more forgiving to install.
What density should I choose?+
180% density gives a natural everyday look, 200% is fuller and the most popular for longer lengths, 250% is dramatic and photographs beautifully, and 300% is maximum volume — usually chosen for curly and afro-textured styles. Longer lengths generally need at least 200% so the ends do not look thin.
What is the difference between 13x4, 13x6, 7x5, 5x5 and 4x4?+
The numbers are the lace measurements in inches. 13x4 and 13x6 are ear-to-ear frontals; the 6 gives deeper parting space. 7x5, 5x5 and 4x4 are closures — smaller lace areas that sit at the crown, part in fewer directions, and are typically the glueless wear-and-go options.
Can I wear a glueless wig without glue?+
Yes. Our glueless pieces are pre-cut and secured with adjustable straps and combs where fitted, so they can be worn without adhesive. Glue is optional if you want a longer-term install or extra security on a windy day.
