A lace closure or lace frontal is a hair piece used to complete a look when you don't want to leave any of your own hair out giving the illusion that your natural hair is growing out of your scalp.

So what is the difference between the two? Read on to find out more about both and which one could be the best fit for you.

Lace closures

A lace closure is a hair piece primarily used to close off an install hence the name. It comes in various sizes including 4x4, 5x5, 6x6 and 7x7 covering about a horseshoe size of the head.

It is placed in the middle or side of the head depending on the desired parting.

Lace frontals

Similar to a lace closure a frontal also close's off an install however it covers the hairline from ear to ear. It also comes in various sizes most commonly 13x4,13x5 and 13x6.

As a frontal gives more coverage it can be parted in more ways than a closure and achieve more styles.

Which one is better?

Lace closure wigs are ideal for new wig wearers or individuals that require wigs that are less maintenance. A lace frontal is ideal for individuals that like more versatility but it is important to note it often costs more.

Ultimately the best type of wig will depend on your budget and needs.
