frontal vs closure

Before 2018,A FRONTAL refers to a hairpiece that has a strip of material which runs from ear to ear.

It usually stretches 13 inches and goes 4 inches back, making a half-wig of sorts.

It’s typically sewn onto bundles (usually approximately 2-3 bundles of hair),

but you can also use it to make a full wig.

A lace CLOSURE is similar to a lace front in that hair is attached to lace to create the illusion of a scalp,

but it is much smaller and has more limitations when it comes to styling.

Instead of having a strip of scalp-like material that runs from ear to ear,

the closure is typically a 4×4-inch patch placed on the middle, front portion of the hairpiece.

Closures and frontals both include a piece of lace and hair is sewn into the base of the wig.

Closures and frontals are go-to styles because they let you part your hair in several ways and have a natural-looking hairline.

The addition of baby hair around the edges make it look even more natural.
