Complete Tutorials: How to sew in lace closure and bleach knots
If you are suffering from hair loss, thin hair, and are searching for a hairpiece accessory to create a natural scalp, you may find the lace closure a good option. Lace closure can not only create a natural and realistic scalp while adding volume and length to the natural hair, but can also protect the natural hair underneath from dye, bleach, and perm. It is very popular in the African American market.
What is the lace closure?
A lace closure is a combination of a piece of lace (the sizes of the lace piece commonly come in 4*4, 5*5, 6*6 inches) and the hair strands. The lace closure is used to close off the top area where hair bundles get sew-in or bonded down.
There are serval classifications for lace closure:
Materials: Lace closure can be divided into 3 types according to its materials: Swiss lace closure, HD lace closure, and transparent lace closure.
Part: It can also be divided into 4 types according to its parting way: middle part closure, side part closure, free part closure, and three-part closure.
Sizes: 4x4 closure, 5x5 closure, and 6x6 closure, 7x7 lace closure, etc.
Lace closure VS silk closure
Silk base closure is similar to the lace closure in the usage and purpose. Both lace closure and silk closure can be glued, taped, and sew-in. Both lace closure, lace frontal, and silk closure are used to close off the top area of one's head and can protect the natural hair underneath.
The most obvious difference between lace closure and silk closure is that the materials. Silk base closure is crafted from a skin-like silk layer, which makes the silk closure looks more natural and realistic. Silk base closure has its own benefits: longer-lasting; doesn't need to bleach; and more durable. But silk base closure is not as breathable as lace closure.
What is the best size lace closure?
As we mention above, there are different types of lace closure according to the sizes of the lace layer. A 4x4 closure provides less lace space than a 5x5 closure or a 6x6 closure. When it comes to which size of lace closure is the best, actually, it depends on your personal preferences. And now the 4x4 lace closure is the most common and popular one. Commonly, a 5x5 lace closure is more natural than a 4x4 lace closure because it has a wider lace.
