Lace wig

A wig with sheer lace at the hairline into which hairs are hand-tied, so the edge looks natural.

Also: lace front

A lace wig, or lace-front wig, has hair knotted by hand into a fine lace at the front, or across the whole cap in a full lace wig. The lace is trimmed close to the wearer's hairline and fixed with tape, adhesive or bands, so the hair seems to grow from the scalp and can be parted or pulled back. Lace wigs began in theatre and film and became everyday fashion from the 2000s.
