Just want to go through what is a closure? what is a lace frontal? What is the difference between a frontal and a lace closure, and what makes them similar.
What Is A Closure?
A closure is usually a 4×4″ piece, which around temple to temple size and put in the middle, its 4 inches long and 4 inches wide, like perfect square. 4 inches long and 4 inches wide for the most part. It may vary, if some people want 4×3″, but for the most part of closure, it’s 4×4″ piece. 4×4 Lace Closure is the standard.
Now you have two types of closures: lace closure and silk top closure: you have lace closure, which is all lace, usually made with swiss lace, and then you have the silk base closure, which is made with silk. It is a matter of preferance, a lot of people say the lace flatter, and I find that to be ture sometimes. But it depends on the style you are doing. If I am doing like a curly hair style, I love a lace closure because you don’t really see a define part. But if I am doing like a middle part, I want to be silk, because I want it look as natural as possible.
What Is A Frontal
A frontal goes from ear to ear, so the entire front is covered. 13×4 Lace Frontal is the standard size. That is the difference between a closure and a frontal. And then with the frontal, there are 3 types of frontals.

The second type of frontal is the silk and lace combination, where it is lace from ear to ear, however it has a 4×4 silk in the middle of the frontal, so it has lace all the way and in the middle 4 inches long and 4 inches wide, it has silk. So, that’s a combination frontal.
The third type of a frontal is all silk in the front, it is silk from ear to ear, so no matter where you part it, you see silk, all through the frontal of the hair. The frontal is from 13 inches long to 4 inches wide, so you have a ear to ear long and 4 inches wide.
