What Is The Difference Between A Lace Frontal and Lace Closure?

1. Size: The biggest difference between the lace frontals and lace closures are their sizes. Lace closures are usually 4x4 inches, they are smaller because they are be used to close off an installation. While the frontal is 13x4 inches, they are larger mainly because they cover the entire hairline from the ear to ear.

2. Material: Both frontals and closures are usually made of lace, silk, or a fusions of the two materials. In fact, some frontals are made of silk in the middle but lace at the ends.

Lace based closures and frontals lay much flatter against and blends better with your scalp. Silk based closures tend to like the scalp more.

3. Installation: Both the closures and frontals can be made into or sewn in a wig. A frontal wig can bring more options of hairstyle for wearers, but for those who just want to have a simple daily appearance such as middle part, closures are more available.

4. Versatility: Closures are used to recreate the natural parting of the hairline and measure about 4inches by 4 inches and are normally sewn into place, while Frontals are used to recreate the hairline from ear to ear .

The lace closures covers only a small part of the front of the installation, so it is not possible to pull the side backwards without exposing the track. The lace frontals covers the entire hairline, which giving you a seamless style that can be pulled back from the face.

5. Cost: The price of lace frontals is much higher than the lace closures. Because the lace frontals are almost half a wig, they need less bundles to sew in a compete wig.

For a full install, it is usually recommended to use 2-3 hair bundles with a lace frontal, but 2-4 human hair bundles with a lace closure. Of course, It also depends on the hair length.
