Closure wigs are among the most realistic wigs ever created. As we compare the different closure wig styles and types, we will dive into them so you can make a more informed decision about which one is right for you.
We will begin by exploring what a closure wig is.
A closure wig was created with only one purpose: to give you a natural-looking part. No matter which part you want, the closure wig can help you have a realistic part, which opens up the door to multiple hairstyles.
The parts of the closure wig:
The Base is created from lace, HD lace, or silk. Each one is a little different.
Silk Closures are soft to the touch and strong, like anything made from silk. However, the drawback of a silk closure base is that it usually cannot be bleached or dyed. This limits their ability to blend with the scalp and create the most natural appearance possible.
Silk bases do not need the trimming and preparation that a lace closure wig requires. This saves time but is at the expense of the realism that the closure was designed for. Silk is thicker than both types of lace bases. This additional thickness can make the wig more obvious when worn.
Lace closure wigs are more delicate than silk but can be bleached and dyed to allow a more natural hairline. The lace closure is transparent, and this was intended to make it invisible. It was the best choice until HD or high-definition lace became available. The lace has a slight sheen, and because of the nature of the lace, it is more noticeable than the HD Lace variety.
HD Lace Closures are designed to blend in with your natural scalp and come in a choice of colors that should be the same shade as your natural skin color. They are the best choice for a realistic part and hairline, which is key to having a wig pass as your natural hair.
HD Lace allows more air to flow through to your scalp than silk or regular lace bases. This reduces irritation, sweating, and potential damage to your own hair.
Closure wigs come in a few different types. The goal is, of course, to find the one that will most easily pass your own hair.
Frontal closure wigs cover the head from one ear to the other. This increased size means more weight and tension on the wearer. At the same time, frontal closure wigs cost more than closure wigs. This is true no matter which base you choose.
Because of the additional size required to create the frontal closure, the wig will take more time to maintain. The simple tasks of washing, conditioning, and drying will be needed more frequently and take longer.
A closure or full closure will generally cover the middle and front of the personβs head. This allows for a variety of parting locations: the middle, either side or a split part. In turn, the smaller base area will allow less weight and pressure on the head, which can help prevent headaches.
The smaller size of a closure wig will allow for faster washing, better condition, and better styling. Because washing and conditioning can shorten the wig’s life expectancy, you can see why a closure tends to last longer.
The frontal and closure both offer multiple styling variations. This is because of the many different parts created with the natural hairline they imitate. On this one, they tie.
Maintenance of the wigs: The full closure is smaller and rests at the front and middle of your head. The smaller size and position allow it to require fewer shampoos, conditions, and overall maintenance. The time required when it does need some attention is less than that of the full frontal.
The full frontal requires more attention because of its larger size. This usually means that you need more styling products like holding spray and styling gel. With the use of more styling products, the full frontal will have more build-up and need more frequent attention to remain clean.
Overall cost: Frontal wigs cost more because they are larger. The closure wigs tend to last longer because they require less maintenance.
Which is right for you?
Looking at the pros and cons, for most people who want a realistic hairline and wig that can pass as their own hair, an HD Lace Closure is the best choice. It is more affordable, requires less maintenance, and offers all the benefits of the frontal without some of the drawbacks.
6X6 or a smaller size, does it really matter in HD Lace Human Hair Closure wigs?
The HD Lace Closure wig usually comes with human hair. If you are looking for realism, make
sure to get real human hair, no matter the size you select. That being said, there are a few things
to consider when choosing the right size.
The materials the wigs are made from.
This one is tied because if you are buying a respectable brand, then the materials for the closure
or full frontal will be the same.
The main difference between the various sizes is the coverage area.
The two most popular HD Lace Closure wig sizes are 6×6 and 4×4. When we first consider the
two-inch difference in size, we might dismiss it as inconsequential. This would be a mistake.
The 6βx6β HD lace closures have become very popular as woman are moving away from
wearing lace frontals.
When we look in the mirror, our heads appear larger when we lack a full head of hair. The
additional size offered by the 6×6 can remedy this. In fact, the larger size of the 6×6 is sufficient
to make our heads look completely normal again. Even if you suffer from thinning or outright
hair loss, the 6×6 can change that.
A larger coverage area allows more airflow, which increases the breathability of the HD Lace
human hair closure wig.
The HD Lace is one of the most breathable wig bases made today. The larger the size, the more
breathable it becomes. So, with a 6×6, you get the most breathability possible in a closure wig.
This is important because, without good breathability, you risk damage to your scalp hair and
headaches.
Purchase price based on size.
The larger the size of a closure wig, the more expensive it becomes. That being said, the
difference in price between a 4×4 and a 6×6 HD Lace Closure wig with real human hair is
negligible.
For most people, the 6×6 HD Lace Human Hair Closure wig is the best choice, with its
additional styling options, greater breathability, lower maintenance needs, and long life span.
This is, of course, if you want a realistic wig.
Nothing beats looking at HD Lace Closure wigs with real human hair in person.
I love looking at the videos and images posted online of all the closure wigs available, but I am
never sure how real any of them are. Photoshop is so widespread that almost all content I see on
the web has some level of digital improvement and editing.
That is why I like to visit a local showroom before investing in a Real human hair 6×6 HD Lace
closure wig. I stop by one of the Private Label showrooms and look
