1. Definitions & Functions
Hair Closure Basic Concepts:
The Closure is a small wig piece (common sizes: 4x4 inches, 5x5 inches, 13x4 inches) that is mounted on the front of the head and is used to cover the base of a weave or wig set to simulate the real scalp and hairline.
Size standard:
Core features :
- Natural Hairline: Lace/silk material mimics the scalp to achieve the “as if from your own scalp” effect.
- Hidden seams: conceals the fixation points (e.g. knots, tape marks) of hair pieces or weaves.
- Flexible styling: Parting (center parting, side parting) or back combing is possible to increase the freedom of hair styling.

Top of head localized (4x4 to 6x6 inches) | Entire frontal hairline (from ear to ear, approximately 13x4 inches) |
Styling Freedom | Only 1-2 types of slits are supported | Full head parting, back combing, high ponytails |
Wearing Difficulty | Beginner friendly, easy to install | Specialized taping/sewing skills required |
Breathability | Better (due to small coverage area) | Slightly lower (more glue/stitching required for large coverage area) |
4. Applicable people and purchase suggestions
- Those with thinning hair: cover the thinning area on top of the head with a 4x4 inch closure with a weave to add density.
- Hair extension novices: start with laceclosure to learn trimming and fixing techniques.
Pit Avoidance Tip:
Avoid too small sizes (e.g. 3x3 inches), which tends to expose the edges of the base.
Choose brown lace for dark skin color, choose clear lace for light skin to reduce color difference
