Nutique's Illuze braided wigs focus on the hairline. The Boho Braid Romance 26 inch uses a hand-tied triangle lace that Nutique calls wider and deeper for a full frontal hairline, with pre-plucked HD lace, natural baby hair and a glueless install, for $34.99 when we checked. The Illuze 360 Boho Braid Water 36 inch adds round lace with a 13x4 part, which lets you pull braids into a high ponytail or bun without showing the cap, at $54.99. The 4x4 Boho Box Deep and Boho Locs Water units fill in lengths from 16 to 30 inches at about $53 to $60. Regular prices are low, so the sale gap is smaller than at most brands. The trade-off is style range: nearly everything is boho with curly ends, so it does not suit wearers who want plain box braids or cornrows.

Who it is for

Wearers who want a deep, wide frontal hairline on a boho braid wig without glue.

Price
