Closure or frontal: what is the difference and which should you choose?

Closure ou frontal : quelle différence et lequel choisir ?

Whether a weave looks natural often comes down to the root and the hairline. That is where the closure and the frontal come in: two human hair pieces that hide the wefts and mimic a natural hairline.

The closure: covering the top of the head

A closure is a small human hair piece that covers the front of the crown, where the parting sits. It creates a natural transition between your own hair and your extensions, while your own hair stays fully protected.

  • Sizes: 4x4" (10x10 cm) or 5x5" (12x12 cm)
  • Ideal for: a middle or side parting, easy maintenance, first-time wearers

The frontal: the whole hairline

A frontal is a larger hairpiece that covers the entire hairline from ear to ear, including the forehead and sides. It gives you more styling freedom: slicked-back hair, ponytails, a parting wherever you like.

  • Sizes: 13x4" (33x10 cm) or 13x6" (33x15 cm)
  • Ideal for: styles off the face and maximum styling freedom

Frequently asked questions

Do I need fewer bundles with a closure or frontal?

A closure or frontal covers the front of the head, so you often need slightly fewer bundles. Our length guide helps you work out the right amount.

Can a closure or frontal be coloured?

Yes, they are made of human hair and can be coloured like your own hair. For an even result, colour them together with your bundles, ideally at a hairdresser.

Which size is best for beginners?

The 4x4" closure is the easiest to install and maintain. If you like tying your hair up or wearing it back, the 13x4" frontal offers more options.
