The numbers refer to the lace area of the closure, with the first number representing the width and the second the length in inches. A 4x4 closure covers a smaller section of the scalp, offering a limited parting area, usually enough for a middle or slightly off-center part. In contrast, a 5x5 closure extends an extra inch in both width and length, allowing you to create deeper or wider parts while still maintaining a natural hairline appearance.
This additional parting space is especially useful if you enjoy switching up your part throughout the week or want more versatility in styling. You can experiment with side parts, middle parts, and even small zig-zag parts while keeping the closure seamlessly blended with your natural hair. It also helps provide a more realistic look for protective styles or everyday wear, making it easier to achieve salon-quality results at home.

A frontal closure is a hairpiece that wraps all around the front hairline from ear to ear, allowing for versatility while keeping your natural hair covered underneath. This makes it the perfect choice for anyone seeking healthy hair while maintaining a neat, natural-looking style.
One of the most significant advantages of frontal closures is that they bypass the cycle of constant manipulation of your original hair. Because your actual hair is braided and hidden underneath the closure, it is protected from heat, environmental factors, and over-styling three primary culprits that contribute to breakage and damage. This allows your original hair to rest, grow, and retain moisture, which is critical for overall healthy hair.
This is especially helpful for people who wish to experiment with different styles without subjecting their hair to heat or chemicals.

This square piece is constructed with lace fabric that resembles the scalp, allowing for a natural-looking part and a realistic scalp illusion. It's usually placed at the crown of the head to finish off a wig or sew-in, hence the term "closure."
One of the benefits of a 5x5 closure is how natural it makes your hair look. The lace area allows you to part your hair down the middle or slightly off-center, providing more versatility when styling than smaller closures, such as 4x4. It's also less difficult to deal with than larger closures, such as a frontal, which is ear-to-ear and can take more experience to install.
Another advantage is that it needs less maintenance. Because the lace only needs to cover part of the head, you don't need to concern yourself with laying down edges or gluing lace all over your... less

Closure Sizes
4x4 Closure: The most used size. It covers a small spot on the crown. Good for simple middle or side parts. Easy to keep neat and looks natural.
5x5 Closure: A bit bigger than 4x4. Offers more room for parting. Gives more style choices and still looks real human hair closure.
6x6 Closure: Gives wide coverage. Lets you have deep parts. Blends well with your hairline. Good for more style freedom without using a full front.
7x7 Closure: The largest size. Covers a big area of the head. Great for max parting space and a true hairline without a front.
Choosing The Right Size
For a simple, real look, pick a 4x4 or 5x5 closure.
For more parting and style choices, pick a 6x6 or 7x7 closure.
Think of your head size and how you want to style it. A bigger closure blends better and covers... less

1. Seal The Knots
The knots holding hair to the lace can get loose over time. Spray a knot sealer on the inside of the lace to keep the knots tight and reduce shedding.
2. Wash Gently
Rough washing can weaken knots and cause hair to tangle, which leads to shedding. Always use a gentle shampoo without sulfates and warm water. Lather the shampoo gently, moving down the hair, and don’t rub the lace. Use a good conditioner to keep the hair soft and free from tangles.
3. Detangle With Care
Closure wigs human hair strands may be pulled out by rough brushing. Instead, carefully untangle the hair using your fingers or a wide-tooth comb, working your way up from the ends.
4. Limit Heat And Chemicals
Too much heat from styling tools or strong dyes can weaken the wig, causing it to shed. Always use a heat protectant before styling and choose gentle, ammonia-free dyes if you need to color the hair.

Good hair closures, made from virgin or Remy hair, can be used more than once, if taken care of right.
Things That Affect Reuse
The quality of the closure made from real human hair last longer than those made from fake hair. Buying good quality closures makes sure they stay in good shape for many uses.
Way It's Put In
How the closure is put in changes how long it lasts. Sew-in closures hold up longer and can be reused more times than those glued or taped in, which can cause hair to shed or get ruined.
Taking Care
Cleaning: Wash the closure softly with shampoo and stuff that has no sulfate to get rid of the stuff that builds up in it.
Untangling: Use a wide-tooth comb or fingers to stop hair from shedding.
Keeping Safe: Store the closure in a silk or satin bag to keep it from tangling.
Lace Condition
The lace on a closure is fragile and may... less

One of the key benefits of a closure wig is its breathable construction. Most closure wigs are made with a lace or silk base that allows for proper airflow to the scalp, reducing the risk of excessive sweating or discomfort during long hours of use.Additionally, closure wigs are lightweight, which contributes to their overall comfort. They cover only a portion of the scalp, typically in the crown or parting area, which helps to reduce bulk compared to full wigs. The adjustable straps and secure fit of closure wigs also ensure they stay in place without putting too much tension on your scalp.For maximum comfort, it’s important to choose a high-quality closure wig with a soft lace base and to maintain proper scalp hygiene. Wearing a wig cap underneath can enhance breathability and protect your natural hair. With the right fit and care, closure wigs can be both... less
