Hey there, girlfriend! If you’re diving into the world of raw hair extensions and trying to decide whether to go with a lace closure or a lace frontal, you’re in the right place. We’re about to give you all the tea, so grab your teacup and let’s get into it. Lace closures and frontals are your secret weapons for a flawless look, but which one is the best for you? Let’s break it down and help you make the best choice for your style.
Lace Closures 101: The Lowdown
So, what exactly is a lace closure? Think of it as a smaller piece that “closes” off your install, usually covering a small part of your scalp. Here at Prestigious Hair Co., we sell lace closures in a variety of sizes, including 4x4, 5x5, 6x6, and 7x7 inches. These versatile closures are perfect for giving you that natural-looking part without the hassle of blending your natural hair. Plus, unlike lace frontals, closures don’t require glue, making them ideal for glueless wig installs.
Why You Might Love Lace Closures:
• Easy to Install: No need for a professional stylist if you’re handy with your hair. Lace closures are simple to sew in or even install glueless, which makes them perfect for anyone who wants to avoid adhesives.
• Low Maintenance: If you’re not about that high-maintenance life, closures are a breeze. They don’t require daily touch-ups or styling and are perfect for everyday wear.
• Protective Styling: Ideal for giving your natural hair a break. The less manipulation, the better! Plus, they can be easily removed without any damage to your edges or hairline.
Let’s Talk Lace Frontals: More Versatility, More Drama
Now, onto lace frontals. Imagine the flexibility of wearing your hair pulled back, parted in any direction, or styled with baby hairs laid just right. Lace frontals typically span from ear to ear, offering a broader base than closures—think 13x4 inches or even wider. They’re ideal if you love switching up your look without limits.
Reasons to Go for a Lace Frontal:
• Styling Freedom: You can part your hair any way you like, wear it up in a ponytail, or even do braids at the front.
• Natural Hairline: Frontals are known for giving a super natural-looking hairline. No one will know where your hair ends and the frontal begins.
• Edge Control: If you’re all about laying those edges and creating a flawless blend, frontals are your best friend.
Raw Hair Extensions: The Perfect Pairing
Thinking about pairing these closures and frontals with raw hair extensions? Smart move! Raw hair extensions are unprocessed, meaning they haven’t been chemically altered. This keeps them looking more natural and also makes them last longer. Plus, they blend beautifully with both closures and frontals, giving you that seamless, natural look we all crave.
Choosing Between a Lace Closure and a Lace Frontal
So, how do you choose between a lace closure and a lace frontal? It all comes down to your lifestyle and how much maintenance you’re willing to handle.
• If You’re Low-Key: Go with a lace closure. It’s less work, and you can still rock a great look without spending hours in the mirror. Plus, with glueless installs, you can easily switch up your look without worrying about adhesives.
• If You Love Versatility: Lace frontals give you all the styling options you could want. They’re perfect if you like to change up your look often and don’t mind putting in a bit more effort for that perfect blend.
Caring for Your Lace Closures and Frontals
No matter which one you choose, taking good care of your lace pieces is key to making them last and looking fabulous. Here are a few tips:
• Gentle Washing: Treat your lace with care. Use a sulfate-free shampoo and avoid scrubbing the lace to prevent shedding.
• Dry Carefully: Pat dry with a towel and avoid wringing out the hair. Allow it to air dry for the best results.
• Keep It Moisturized: Just like your natural hair, keep your extensions hydrated. Use a light leave-in conditioner and natural oils to keep them soft and shiny.
Final Thoughts
At the end of the day, both lace closures and lace frontals can give you that flawless finish you’re looking for. Whether you prefer the ease of a glueless lace closure or the versatility of a lace frontal, it’s all about finding what works best for your style and routine. And remember, when paired with high-quality raw hair extensions, you can’t go wrong.
