An in-depth look at the features of lace closure wigs

Closure wigs are the most beginner-friendly wig options on the market. This is because lace closure wigs are easy to install and style. Closure wigs are often confused with frontal lace wigs. However, frontal lace wigs feature lace at the front. The lace may either cover the entire frontal area or part of it, especially in the middle. On the other hand, the lace is only found at the front center part with closure wigs. This element remains constant regardless of the lace size. This post discusses the features of lace closure wigs.

b.  5X5 closure wigs

They are the second-largest closure wigs on the market. Like the former, they are more versatile because they offer more space for parting. For this reason, 6X6 and 5X5 closure wigs are the most preferred size for closure wigs by most women.

c.  4X4 closure wigs

These are the smallest options. They are more affordable than the former. However, they are more limited when it comes to styling. On the other hand, they are also easier to install.
