Lace Frontal and Lace Closure are both excellent choices for you to get a natural and realistic appearance. However, there are still many differences between these two concepts. 

The following blog will explain the differences between Lace Frontal and Lace Closure from 4 main aspects in detail. 

After reading this blog, you will have a clearer and more systematic understanding of Lace Frontal and Lace Closure.

What’s more, you will also learn how to make a decision between them and save your money.

1. What is Lace Frontal?

The Lace Frontal is a half wig that is used to create a new and natural hairline from ear to ear, which can give you a seamless and natural appearance.

A lace frontal is well known for its versatility and flawlessness, which makes the hair look like it is growing from your scalp. That means you can restyle the hair away from the face and create a natural bang, making your hairline more stunning and glorious.

The front of the lace frontal is made of lace, which can give you a natural and seamless hairline. The rest of it is made of a more durable and long-lasting material, such as a comfortable and breathable cap.

All in all, a lace frontal is a suitable choice for those looking for a natural and seamless hairline and wanting to restyle their hair with different hairstyles and parting options.

2. What is Lace Closure?

The Lace Closure is smaller than the lace frontal and is used to cover a small and specific area at the front of the head, so you usually need three pieces as an option. 

What’s more, it is easier for you to install it than a lace frontal.

Compared to a lace frontal, a lace closure is limited in hairstyles.

It is created to restyle the natural parting, such as a side or middle part, with a scalp and a bit of hairline.

A lace closure is also made of lace and acts as a hair topper, which means you can use it to make your hair crown areas look fuller and conceal hair loss.

All in all, a lace closure is a perfect option for those looking for a natural parting that can blend with your hairstyle perfectly.
