If you're new to hair extensions, you may be wondering whether to choose a lace closure or a frontal. While both serve the purpose of giving you a natural hairline and a seamless finish, there are key differences that can help you decide which one best suits your needs.
Lace closures typically come in sizes like 4x4, 5x5, or 6x6 inches and are meant to close off an install, covering a smaller portion of your head. They’re ideal for middle or side parts and are perfect for beginners due to their easy application and lower maintenance.
Frontals, on the other hand, span from ear to ear, usually 13x4 or 13x6 inches in size. They offer more styling flexibility, including the ability to wear your hair pulled back, in ponytails, or styled away from the face. They provide a more natural hairline across the entire front of your head.
If you're going for a versatile, full-front look, a frontal is your go-to. But if you're looking for something low-maintenance and cost-effective, a closure is your best bet.
Both options are available in various textures and lengths—so whether you're slaying a sleek straight or bold body wave, your look will be flawless.
