Closure wig in real hair

A closure wig is a wig with a hand-knotted lace section on top of the head, where the parting sits. The lace covers the hairline at the parting and makes the hair look as if it grows straight from the scalp, while the rest of the wig is machine-sewn. That makes the closure wig sturdy, durable and affordable compared with wigs that have more lace. At Fairwithhair all our closure wigs are made of real hair, in Luxury and Premium quality.

Why choose a closure wig?
A closure wig is a safe first choice for many people who want a wig in real hair. It is light and easy to put on, the parting looks natural and the hair can be styled just like your own – straight, wavy or curly. Because it has less lace than a frontal or full lace wig, it also holds its shape better and is more affordable, and it suits you if you usually wear your hair down or half up.

How a closure wig is made
The lace section measures 4x4 to 6x6 inches and sits where the parting is. Every strand is hand-knotted into the lace, so the parting looks natural up close. Our closure wigs are glueless – they stay in place on their own with adjustment at the nape, with no glue or tape, and you can handle the wig yourself. Before you start wearing it, the lace is cut to your hairline in the salon, together with a size adjustment. We can also bleach the knots and pluck the hairline for a soft transition.

Lace sizes
The numbers give the size of the lace section in inches: 4x4 is about 10 x 10 cm, 5x5 about 12 x 12 cm and 6x6 about 15 x 15 cm. The bigger the lace section, the larger the area of the head that looks like natural scalp and the more freely you can place the parting – in the middle or to the side.

Closure, frontal or full lace?
A closure wig only has lace where the parting sits. A frontal has lace along the whole hairline from ear to ear, so you can comb the hair back from your forehead. A full lace wig has lace over the entire head. A closure is the easiest to wear and the most affordable. If you want more lace along the hairline and more freedom to style your hair away from your face, there is Lace Front Plus. Compare every model on our wig models page.

Textures and models
Among our closure wigs you will find straight, wavy, curly and Deep Wave hair, Yaki and Kinky, and short bob styles. Our most exclusive stocked model is Chloe, which is also available in a colour we match to your own hair. Premium sits between Classic and Luxury – hair that is more even in length and direction than Classic, at a friendlier price than Luxury.

Lifespan and quality
How long a closure wig lasts depends on the quality and the care. Luxury lasts 1–2 years with the right care, and up to 5 years if the lace is repaired. Premium lasts 3–5 months. Because the hair is real, the wig can be heat-styled, curled and coloured by a stylist – always test on a small strand first.

With hair loss and with a requisition
A closure wig can work with hair loss, but we usually recommend Lace Front Plus, Mono Top, Mono Part or Klassisk Kupa. If you choose a closure because of illness, we recommend Luxury. Luxury can be bought with a requisition (rekvisition) – we are an approved supplier across Sweden, while Classic and Premium are not sold on requisition. Requisitions only apply in Sweden. Email your requisition to info@fairwithhair.se and we will adjust the amount on your order. Read more about how requisitions work.

Care
Wash the wig once a week to every other week in lukewarm water with shampoo for real hair, moisturise the lengths and let it air-dry on a wig stand. Brush gently from the ends upwards, and always use heat protection when styling. Store the wig on a wig stand or in a silk bag when you are not wearing it, so it keeps its shape for longer.
