Similarities
Lace frontals and lace closures are both very useful in creating beautiful custom-made wig. They both serve the same purpose, which is to close off an install. If you a familiar with sew-ins or traditional weaves, the lace on wigs is in the position that would normally be your "leave out" (using your natural hair to cover up tracks so that everything blends as seamless as possible). However with a wig, because your natural hair is covered with the lace, it eliminates the need for blending. Both lace closure and frontals come in different sizes and well as material that can give a different wig wearing experience, making one option that might be best for me, not necessarily the best for you. Lets take a deeper looking into closures.
Differences
The most obvious differences between closures and frontals lie in the size and how they are applied. The Lace frontal is bigger and they cover the entire hairline, from ear to ear, while closures cover a smaller portion from about mid eyebrow to mid eyebrow. Both however go from at the top or front of your scalp if they a standard length of 4 inches. Lace Closures are typically 4 x 4 inches and sit either perfectly in the middle of the crown or can be shifted slightly to the side to achieve a side-part look. Lace frontals on the other hand, are typically 13 x 4 and lay along the hairline across the front of the head. Because the lace is larger on a frontal achieving a side part or any part for that matter would mean simply parting your wig in a different place the same way you would your natural hair.
Some of the other differences as mentioned before is how they are applied and styling/preference. Choosing between frontals or closures can depend on what style you are trying to achieve as well as your overall lifestyle. For instance, if you are the type of person that often pulls your hair up, then a frontal is a more preferable choice because there is lace and hair present that can be customized to look like your actual hairline. Remember that closures cover only a portion of your hairline, so people might see the sewn edges when your hair is in a bun or ponytail and of course we don't want that. Another thing is if you are a person that is more low maintenance and wants to be able to take their wig off and put it on as you please with no hassle closure wig is more than likely the best option because applying your wig with adhesive is not necessary. Applying your wig with adhesive is a method used to "secure the wig" onto a person head and more often you will see this done with frontal wigs. When your wig is properly applied with adhesive whether is may be gel, wig glue, tape, etc. you will be able too wear your unit day and night and be sure that it will not be moving anywhere for about 2-3 weeks as long as it is maintained correctly. If what I just describe is what you desire that a frontal may be your best bet.
