A closure is a square or rectangle of lace that sits where you part your hair. A frontal runs along your whole hairline from ear to ear. Pick a closure for easier upkeep; pick a frontal if you want to part anywhere or wear your hair pulled back.
What the numbers mean
The size is the lace area in inches: width × depth. A 4x4 closure is 4 inches across and 4 inches back from the hairline. A 13x4 frontal is 13 inches across, which spans ear to ear, and 4 inches deep. More lace means more places you can part and style.

Closure or frontal: how to decide
Choose a closure if…
- You mostly wear one part, middle or side.
- You want lower maintenance, with less lace to keep looking fresh.
- It's your first install with lace.
Choose a frontal if…
- You want to part your hair anywhere along the front.
- You want to wear it slicked back, in a high ponytail, or pulled off your face.
- You're okay with more upkeep along the hairline, or you have a stylist you trust with lace.
How many bundles go with it?
