What Is the Difference Between a Lace Closure and a Lace Frontal?Updated 3 hours ago

If you're considering a protective style or want to simplify your daily hair routine, lace closures and frontals are both popular options. Each offers a natural-looking finish, but they serve slightly different purposes based on your styling goals and how much coverage you need.

What Is a Lace Closure?

Coverage and Purpose

A lace closure is a small hairpiece designed to cover the top portion of your head, right where you would typically part your hair. Closures are perfect if you prefer:

  • A natural part (center or side)

  • A lower-maintenance install

  • Minimal leave-out or tension on your natural hair

We carry 4”x 4” and 5”x 5” closures, all made from premium Swiss lace and 100% human hair for a natural scalp effect.

What Is a Lace Frontal?

Styling Versatility

A lace frontal offers full ear-to-ear coverage of your hairline. It allows you to:

  • Part your hair in any direction

  • Pull your hair back off your face

  • Achieve a more natural-looking hairline across the entire front

Our 13” x 4” lace frontals are also made with luxury Swiss lace and blend effortlessly with SL Raw bundles.

Which One Should You Choose?

  • Choose a closure if you prefer a more structured part and minimal styling upkeep.

  • Choose a frontal if you want more freedom to part and style your hair in multiple ways or need full hairline coverage.
