Closures vs. Frontals: Which One Is Right for You?

When choosing the perfect install, one of the biggest decisions you’ll face is whether to go with a closure or a frontal. Both offer a natural-looking hairline and parting space, but they serve different purposes, suit different lifestyles, and offer different styling options.

At Virgin Brazilian, we offer premium closures and frontals made with 100% virgin hair, designed to give you a seamless, flawless finish every time.

🎯 What is a Closure?

A closure is a hairpiece typically sized 4x4", 5x5", or 6x6", placed at the top or crown of your head to close off a sew-in or wig install.

✅ Best For:

• Middle or side part styles
• Low-maintenance installs
• Wig beginners
• Protective styles with minimal leave-out

🔍 Key Features:

• Covers a small section of your head
• Offers a natural part without needing to leave out your natural hair
• Easy to maintain and install
• Ideal for customers who like to wear consistent parting styles

💁🏽♀️ What is a Frontal?

A frontal is a larger lace piece, typically 13x4" or 13x6", that stretches ear-to-ear across your hairline. It covers the entire front perimeter of your head, offering maximum styling versatility.

✅ Best For:

• Full hairline coverage
• Ponytails, half-up styles, and pulled-back looks
• Customers with thinning edges
• Those who want that "scalp illusion" from temple to temple

🔍 Key Features:

• Mimics a natural hairline across the forehead
• Allows for multiple parting styles and updos
• Requires more maintenance and skill for installs
• Often used with glue or lace gel for a flawless melt

• Use lace glue or melting spray for a secure hold (especially on frontals)
