What is the difference between frontal and closure?

Lace closures are similar to the lace frontal in the material, usage, and purpose, etc. 

Materials: Lace frontals and lace closures are both made with invisible lace materials (normally swiss lace, HD lace, and transparent lace) to achieve a realistic effect.  

Installation: Both lace closures and lace frontals come in sew-in or bonded installations. 

Purpose: Lace closures and lace frontals are both used to close off the top area where hair bundles get sew-in or bonded down. 

Both lace closures and lace frontals can achieve an extraordinary natural and realistic visual effect on the scalp and hairline while adding fullness and length to your hair.

Above are the similarities between lace closures and lace frontals. Before we come into their differences, let's simply conclusions about what exactly lace frontal and lace closure is.

What is lace closure?

A lace closure is a combination of a piece of lace (the sizes of the lace piece commonly come in 4*4, 5*5, 6*6 inches) with sew-in hair bundles. 

What is lace frontal?

A lace frontal is also a combination of a piece of lace (the sizes of the lace piece commonly come in 13*4, 13*6 inches, cover from ear to ear) with sew-in hair bundles. 

From here, we must notice that the most obvious difference is the lace size, which also leads to many small differences in details.

And then we are going to talk about the differences between these two options. 

What is the difference between frontal and closure?

Size: Closures are typically 4x4 inches. While frontals commonly come at 13x4 inches. 

Versatility:  The lace frontal has more styling versatility than lace closure. A lace frontal allows you to brush the hair back and make it into a ponytail, but a lace closure can't.

Breathability: We all know that the larger the lace size is, the more breathable it is. So a piece of 13×4 lace frontal is more breathable than a piece of 4 ×4 lace closure. Compare with closure, a lace frontal must be a more breathable option, which is obvious especially during summertime.

Price: Cause a lace front takes more hair bundles and lace than a lace closure and lace frontals can bring more styling versatility, a lace frontal is commonly more expensive than a lace closure individually. But from the whole, pick a lace front, you are available to save more hair bundles to match than opt for a lace closure.

Closure vs frontal, which's better? Lace closure or frontal?

Both lace frontal and lace closure can bring a natural and realistic wearing experience. As for which is better, it depends more on your budget and the effects you want to achieve. If you are really very tangled about which to pick. We recommend you to pick the combination of hair bundles with closure or bundles with frontal, and you can compare to pick the most cost-effective one.

Following are the pros and cons of lace frontals and lace closure for your reference, which will help to make a decision.

Pros and cons of lace closure wig

Pros:

Low maintenance: cause lace is soft and fragile, a larger lace piece also means that you need to be more careful to avoid tearing the lace piece, so to some extent, lace closures need lower maintenance.

Cons:

Limit styling: The lace closure has less styling versatility than lace frontal. A lace frontal allows you to brush the hair back and make it into a ponytail, but a lace closure can't.

Just cover a portion of the hairline:  Cause lace closure just covers a portion of the hairline, it may not look as natural as lace frontal.

Pros and cons of lace frontal wig

Pros: The benefits of lace frontals are obvious. The lace frontal has a realistic complete hairline, which is more comfortable, more breathable, more natural-looking, and has more styling versatility.
