Like most people here, I'm trying to grow out my hair, but I have a very active lifestyle. Which one is better for that? I'm not trying to use glue. Thanks lovelies!!

I want to try wigs for the first time this fall/winter and would like to know too.
What's it like working out in a wig? I'd imagine that full lace offers more breathability.

I've bought an inexpensive wig at the bss and thrown a baseball cap on it so that it stays in place. I often put it in a loose side braid and let a few wispys out so give it some style.
I work out with the best of them so I sweat a lot and this seems to work. It's very cost effective and it looks cute too
When I get home I just take it off and style my hair as usual. No point in sweating out expensive hair.

Take it from me, if you work out often.
WIG IT, don't weave it.
I just spent 6+ hours detangling a matted mess. I guess it didn't help that I washed my hair weekly and left the weave in for 2.5 months
I recently purchased a lace front. I don't know the difference though. I saw a lot of reviews on how realistic it looked on youtube which is why I decided to purchase.

So you all keep the wig on while working out?

I keep it on. The bss store wigs are usually very ventilated. So I can throw a ball cap over it and not pass out from heat stroke. Btw I am natural so a lot of times I'll have my hair in about ten twists under the wig so that it's flat (I'm not the best braider 
). When I get home from the gym I rinse my hair, add some hair butter, re twist and go to bed.

Do you typically wear wigs outside of working out too?

Either A Blessing Or A Lesson.
I've been wigging it for nearly a year.
I have around 25-30 lace front wigs and 2 full lace wigs.
I don't use glue or tape, just bobby pins. I use mesh wig caps instead of nylon ones. Mainly because I have a big head and the nylon ones squeeze my brain. The up side is that mesh wig caps allow you to put bobby pins any where you want using the tracks on the wigs to hold them down. Don't use the combs your edges will hate you.
When I work out I take off my wig and tie my hair down with a scarf.
Sleeping in a wig or infusing it with sweat on a daily basis will have your wig raggedy much quicker than not. If you are pressed to wear a wig while working out or getting your sexy time on, then just reserve one (a cheap one) that you only use for that purpose.
