Lace frontals and lace closures

Wearing a lace frontal or closure provides fast, easy ways to boost the look of your natural hair and change things up with fresh options. Both are a kind of hair extension, but they serve slightly different purposes.

An HD lace frontal covers more of the scalp, fully extending from ear to ear. The piece is designed to look like your own natural hair, but it adds more length and volume.

A lace frontal creates so many fun opportunities to switch up your style. Go from a sophisticated work look to one that's super-glam for hitting the club.

An HD lace closure wig is smaller, designed to cover just a certain portion of the head. It recreates the look of a part (either a middle or a side part).

Your choice between these two different hair extensions will depend on your budget and how dramatic a look you want.

Introduction

Kendra’s Boutique is known for its gorgeous selection of high-quality hair extensions featuring lace edges. The lace on the piece helps it seamlessly blend into your natural hairline, making it virtually undetectable. The natural hair bundles we use in our closures and frontals give you so many styling options.

What is a Lace Frontal?

A lace frontal wig provides coverage over the entire hairline, going from ear to ear. When you have more length and volume to play with, you can really have some fun!  Pull your hair back or part it in multiple ways.

Choosing a lace frontal over a wig also allows your scalp to breathe, which keeps it cooler and healthier. The added volume provided by the frontal can also enhance your face shape.

What is a Lace Closure Piece?

A lace closure wig is a hair topper that covers the scalp to create a fuller look. Many women wear a lace closure to disguise thin spots or areas of hair loss.  It allows you to create a part in the hair, either in the middle, on the side, or “free style.”

Because it’s smaller, the closure is less expensive than a frontal.

Key Differences Between Lace Frontals and Lace Closures

A closure piece is a more affordable lace wig. If you opt to have it sewn in, it will grow out with your natural hair, requiring maintenance from your stylist.

Factors to Consider

Begin with your hair’s natural look and texture. Even if you want to switch things up in a dramatic way, you’ll want to choose hair extensions that can still blend in. Frontals and closures made from quality human hair will make that task much easier.

Think of the kinds of styles you’re hoping to achieve. A lace frontal extension gives you more coverage, length, and volume.

With all that to work with, it adds up to so many styling possibilities!

On the other hand, a smaller closure wig adds a pop of instant volume to the hair, great for anyone with thinning hair or who may be suffering from hair loss.

Hair Type and Texture

It’s helpful to talk to your stylist first and have him/her recommend the best kind of hair extensions to match your natural hair’s texture. Yes, the fun of closures and frontals is in changing up your look, but you still want them to blend into your natural hair to look like they’re your own.

Desired Hairstyle

If you’re looking for styling versatility, lace frontals offer the most bang for your buck.

A frontal extends across the scalp, going from ear to ear, and instantly adding both length and volume.

It's perfect for creating multiple hairstyles, from everyday looks to those that are a little more "glam."

The lace closure is smaller. It's built to add more to an area of your hair that could use a little boost. It allows for a few different “options” for a hair part (like middle or on the side), but that’s about it.

Maintaining Lace Frontals or Closures

For the very best effect, it’s recommended that a professional sew in closures and frontals for the most natural appearance. Keep them looking their best by using a wide-tooth comb to gently detangle them before washing. 

Use a small amount of a gentle shampoo (or one meant for wigs) to wash them. Apply a good conditioner, but rinse it out thoroughly to keep build-up from occurring. 

If you opt to use any styling tools, keep the heat to a lower temperature and protect your extensions by applying a protectant spray first.

Handle your extensions carefully to avoid ripping or tearing the lace. Wearing a satin cap at night will help prevent tangling and breakage as you sleep.
