What Is the Difference Between a Lace Closure and a Lace Frontal?Updated 2 days 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.
Key Differences at a Glance
| Type | Coverage Area | Size | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Closure | Top front of the head | 4x4" or 5x5" | Low-maintenance styles, center/side part |
| Frontal | Full hairline from ear to ear | 13x4" | Flexible styling and realistic hairline |
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.
