As a person who wears wigs all year round, I have some experience with various styles of wigs. Today I want to share with you some of my thoughts on choosing closure wig and frontal wig. Each wig has its own advantages and applicable occasions, but their wearing experience and effects are quite different. Next, from a personal perspective, I will talk about the difference between a closure wig and a frontal wig and which one is more suitable for me.

Closure Wig: Simple And Natural, Suitable For Daily Wear

As the name suggests, a closure wig is a wig with only a closed part (usually 4x4, 5x5, 6x6, etc.). Its lace part is usually limited to a small area on the top of the head, which can cover the forehead to about the ear. The biggest feature of a closure wig is that it is simple and easy to wear and does not require a complicated installation process like using glue, spray, and gel, which is suitable for people who don’t want to spend too much time taking care of the wig.

When I use a closure wig myself, my favorite thing is its convenience. You don't need to bother adjusting your hairline every time you wear it. Just put it on, adjust your hairstyle, and you're basically ready to go. Moreover, the hairline of a closure wig is also more natural, especially for people who like simple styling and don't want to spend too much time on styling. If you are usually busy like me or a novice who has just started to try wigs, a closure wig will be a very suitable choice.

However, a closure wig has a small lace area, so it may be a little limited when creating some special hairstyles, such as side parting or curls, especially if you want to adjust your hairline completely freely; its flexibility will be slightly inferior.

Frontal Wig: More Natural, More Styling Versatility

Frontal wig, also called lace front wig, is a very popular type of wig on the market. Its lace covers the entire forehead area from ear to ear, usually in sizes such as 13x4, 13x6, etc. This design makes the hairline of the frontal wig look more natural, and it can be adjusted in a variety of ways or hairstyles, especially for people who want to try complex styling.

What I like most about the frontal wig when I wear it myself is its flexibility. Because the lace part covers more, the entire hairline looks very natural and gives people the feeling of real hair. Especially when I want to try more complicated hairstyles, such as high ponytails, side parts, or other hairstyles that require styling, the frontal wig performs perfectly. It is also relatively simple to wear, and the lace on the forehead can be easily adjusted, and the transition is very natural, and it looks no different from real hair.

However, the installation and care of the frontal wigs is indeed more troublesome than the closure wig, especially when adjusting the hairline and handling details. If you don’t have a lot of time to take care of the wig or you are not used to wearing a wig for a long time, the maintenance of the frontal wig may make you feel a little cumbersome.

Which One Do I Prefer?

If you value simplicity and naturalness, the Closure Wig is a very suitable choice. It is very quick to put on and suitable for daily use, especially on busy workdays or when going out, and its simple design can save a lot of trouble.

If you are looking for higher styling freedom and natural effects, the frontal wig may be more suitable for you. Its lace coverage is wider, which can help you achieve more hairstyle changes. Especially for those who want to make complex hairstyles or pursue natural effects, a frontal wig is the best choice.

For me, for daily use, I prefer lace closure wigs because they are quick and natural. When I need special styling or attend important occasions, I will choose a lace front wig to enhance the overall styling. In general, the two wigs have their own advantages. The most important thing is to choose according to your needs and find the style that suits you best.
