What is a Lace Closure?

A Lace Closure is a hairpiece with a thin, transparent lace base. The lace mimics the look of the scalp and makes the hair appear to grow straight from the skin. It is lightweight, breathes well and works with middle and side parts.

Common sizes: 4x4 inches, 5x5 inches

HD Lace is ultra-thin and blends with all skin tones without you needing to adjust the colour. It is the most natural option for an invisible hairline.

Practical tip: Use an alcohol-free adhesive remover when you take it off, and be gentle with the lace when melting.

What is a Silk Base Closure?

A Silk Base Closure has a silk base that hides the knots completely. It gives a perfect illusion of a natural scalp without you needing to bleach the knots. Silk Base is slightly thicker and a little smaller than a regular lace closure, but gives an even more realistic impression close to the skin.

It suits you if you want maximum naturalness and don’t want to spend time bleaching or adjusting knots.

Practical tip: Keep the base free from oils and creams to avoid stains and extend its lifespan.

Lace Closure or Lace Frontal — what’s the difference?

This is the most common question, and the answer depends entirely on how you want to style your hair.

A Lace Closure covers a smaller area, usually 4x4 to 6x6 inches, and is placed at the nape or on top. It’s perfect if you want a fixed part and a natural look without too much maintenance. It lasts longer, needs less care and is often cheaper.

A Lace Frontal covers the entire hairline from ear to ear, usually 13x4 or 13x6 inches. It gives you maximum styling freedom — you can vary the part, pull your hair back into a ponytail or wear an updo. It needs more care and often has to be glued or taped to stay secure.

Choose a closure if you want a simple, natural look that lasts. Choose a frontal if you want styling freedom and wear your hair as a fashion statement.

Care tips

Wash gently with sulphate-free shampoo and lukewarm water. Massage along the hair, not across the lace. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a soft towel — don’t rub. Let it air-dry on a wig stand.

Always apply heat protection when styling with hot tools. Avoid putting too much product near the base. Store it in a silk bag or on a wig stand when not in use. Moisturise the hair regularly with a leave-in conditioner spray.
