Whats the difference between a lace frontal and a lace closure?

Updated: Aug 16, 2021




If you’re reading this, you are probably new to lace products and considering giving them a try.

Lace products allow you to achieve the look of a natural hairline by disguising it underneath the install, keeping your hair and edges protected!



Types of lace

The Soraya Collection gives you the option of purchasing swiss lace or HD lace.

The difference between the two laces is that swiss lace is thicker and more durable while HD lace is more fine and fragile. This means that HD lace allows for a more “melted” look while swiss lace is known to last much longer.

HD lace gives you a sense of invisible lace but it tends to have a much shorter wear time. Therefore, it needs to be replaced more frequently.


Frontal or closure?

Our closures come in 3 different dimensions: 4x4, 5x5, and 6x6. This means that the dimensions in width and length of the lace itself are reflected by these measurements. The dimensions that are available largely depend on the texture of hair that you are purchasing at that time. Generally, all of our customers who want a closure can adjust with any of these sizes. The main difference will be the amount of parting room space available on your install. For example, the beauty of a 6x6 closure is that you can get a “frontal look” without the maintenance. If you are wanting a sleek middle part style (or even side part with our 6x6), a closure is perfect for you! Additionally, these items can be installed off center to give you a natural side part without too much maintenance.


Our Lace Frontal Units are 13x4 Frontals. 13 Inches ear to ear, and 4 inches back. With a Lace frontal you are able to part anywhere and do any style within the space. Lace Frontals are high maintenance. Balding is possible if not being properly cared for and washed carefully. Although frontal wigs can be made glue less adhesive or Got 2 B Gel is recommended for a seamless look.


If you are new to wigs, I recommend you to go for a Closure Unit instead until you get use to maintaining it.
