What Is a Lace Frontal?
Lace frontals are hairpieces measured usually at 4 inches to the back and 13 inches across, covering your hairline from ear to ear. Lace frontals help you achieve a more natural look for your wigs or extensions. Its flexibility allows you to maximize different hairstyles such as side parts, center parts or even ponytails.

1. Versatility Style your hair however you want. With the natural hairline lace frontals give, it is almost as if you are styling your own hair! |
1. More expensive The more realistic you want your hair to look, the more it will cost you. |
|
2. Less installation time Given the dimensions of the lace frontal. Once you install the frontal, almost half of your head is done. Depending on desired style your install can take anywhere from 1-3 hours. |
2. Requires a lot of maintenance To achieve a natural look requires a lot of work but not as much to maintain it. Depending on the style, lace frontals may require daily tie downs, weekly application of the glue to hairline or daily styling. |
|
3. Breathable Despite what you may think, lace is breathable. This allows comfort during those warm summer months. |
3. Damaging to your hairline Lace frontals are typically applied using hair glue or lace adhesive. If not done correctly, this can be a strain on your hairline. The longer your lace frontal is installed, the more strain on your edges.

4. Protects your hair Lace closures provide the ability to “match your weave”. If your weave is colored or textured different from your natural hair, a closure would prevent you having to manipulate your natural hair to match your weave. |

|
5. Little maintenance Once a lace closure is on, it is on! The only maintenance you can ever do on a lace closure is wash before installing. |
2. Requires readjustment All styles cannot go without a little readjustment. As your hair grows, the lace closure may shift. This requires some readjustment to accommodate your new hair growth. |
|
6. Lasts longer Lace closures does not require much gluing or customization to complete a look. With less manipulation, your style can last anywhere up to 4 weeks. |
