WHEN TO WEAR A FRONTAL OR CLOSURE- HAIR EXTENSIONS

Frontals and Closures have readily become a necessity in the trading world of weave-ology. They have been a God send for hairlines and edges all over the world. Am I going a little too far with that statement? But seriously, long gone are the days where the only option we had, was to excessively use our flatirons just to get that perfect and seamless blend with our bundles. Now the question is when it better to wear a frontal or closure?
I took all kinds of major risks of permanent heat damage and god know what else just so my hair would lay right. It’s a wonder I have any hair left after so many years of frying and dying it. Lol Although I am not the voice for every person on earth but I bet a ton of people will agree with me when I say closures, frontals and 360 bands are my new best friends!
Even though they come in a variety of forms, lengths and styles closures, frontals and 360 bands all server one essential and major purpose. To PROTECT THOSE EDGES GURL!!! Even if they were not all created equal, they were all made to seamlessly close off a weave/sew-in install. Nevertheless, the differences between the 3 are distinguishing and has to be addressed to ensure you’re selecting the right one to achieve that anticipated look and style.

What is the best hair piece for you?

WHAT IS A LACE CLOSURE?: An Oval or Circle like shaped hair piece made of lace or silk with strands of hair attached to the base. Normally 4×4 inches in size. Can come with pre-installed parts or free part (can be parted freely). A closure is used to make a sew-in or weave look more natural with the function of protecting one’s natural hair.  It is usually placed in the middle or side of the head to complete a hair style of look.
WHAT IS A LACE FRONTAL?: A 14-inch-long and 4-inch-wide piece of lace with hair strands embedded into the base.  Normally from ear to ear and covers the entire front hair line. Lace frontals are used to give you a more natural appearance. They are also used because of the diversity and the many different ways it can be styled. Such as wearing braids or a middle and/or side part. It is typically sewn down behind the ears so that the hairline looks natural.
WHAT IS A 360 FRONTAL BANDS?:  Essentially a 360 Lace Frontal is a lace headband with

hair strands implanted at the base. It covers the entire perimeter of the head. The 360 frontal bands gives you the freedom to wear high ponytails and other fun and creative styles you would be otherwise not be able to do. 360 frontals have also been known to cut down the installation time to half and allows you to use less hair.

THE INSTALLATION PROCESS:
Regardless of the chosen type, all closures, frontals, and 360 bands must be customized to achieve that natural hairline appearance. I repeat, you must CUSTOMIZE your lace closure, lace frontal or lace 360 frontal band. You do not want to be walking around the city thinking you’re “All of Dat” when in actuality you’re out here in these streets looking like a ventriloquist doll.
There are tons of Blogs and YouTube videos out there to show you how to customize your hair pieces, either by bleaching the knots or using makeup to conceal the knots. As well as how to mimic a more natural looking hairline by plucking some of the hair strands so the hairline is not as dense. If you do not know how to do this or afraid of messing something up, I strongly suggest having a trained professional do this part for you.
Equally lace closures, lace frontals and 360 frontal bands can be sewn in, glued in or constructed onto a wig. Each hair piece is unique and offer its own advantages and disadvantages. However, they all provide you with the option to protect your very own natural hair and the ability to have versatility in your hair styling possibilities.
