When you wear a lot of hair extensions, the transition at your forehead needs to look real. That's where closures and frontals come in – two lace-based solutions that create a hairline that looks as if it's growing from the head.
Lace closure
A smaller piece of lace, often around 10 x 12 cm, placed where your parting will sit. The hair is hand-tied into the lace so that every strand appears to come from the scalp. You get a fixed parting, but you can't move it freely.
Lace frontal
Stretches from temple to temple along the entire hairline. You can place your parting wherever you like, sweep your hair back from your face and wear it up without any attachment showing.
Which one should you choose?
- Closure: you wear the same parting most days and want a simpler, more affordable solution.
- Frontal: you want to vary your style freely and wear your hair swept back or up.
How to make the lace last longer
Gently clean any glue residue from the edge, never pull the lace off when it's dry, and use a soft brush near the attachment. Treated properly, the lace stays transparent for much longer.
Closures and frontals are usually combined with a sew-in.
