Lace closure wigs are similar to lace front wigs, except their lace panel is smaller. So, where a lace front wig covers your hairline from ear to ear, a lace closure wig only covers a portion of your forehead, making it easier to put on. Normally the lace panel measures 4×4 inches, so there isn’t too much surface area you will need to glue down to your forehead.

There are many pros and cons for both lace closure wigs and lace front wigs, which can help you choose which wig to go for.

• Easy to maintain – there isn’t much maintenance you need to do for these wigs, other than washing, conditioning, and styling them. So, if you’re the type to wear wigs every day, you’ll probably want to wear lace closure wigs as your go-to.
• Lasts longer – typically lace closure wigs can handle hotter weather, because they require less glue than other wig types. Not only that, but because of their easy maintenance, they should last longer than other types of wigs.
• Protection for your hair – With other types of wigs, like the full lace or 360-lace wigs, you’ll find that you’ll need to dye your hair to match your weave and then the wig cap itself. With a lace closure wig, you won’t have to do that, since it’ll be covered by the wig cap. Not only that, but you won’t have to glue the wig to your hairline, so when you take it off, it won’t damage any of the hair follicles on your hair line.
• Parting style – there are three main parting styles for your lace closure wig. So, you can choose a 3-part closure, where you can part your hair in three different ways, a free-part closure, where you can wear your part however you like, or a middle-part closure, where your wig only parts in the middle.

• Limited styling options – with lace closure wigs, you’ll find that you can either only wear the hair down, or in a very loose low ponytail or braid, otherwise the wig cap will show. So, your styling options are very limited.
• May not fit your head shape/measurements – sometimes it can be difficult to find someone who can create custom lace closure wigs, as everyone’s head is different, and usually lace closure wigs are made in bulk, by machine, or according to set sizes. Because these wigs are essentially mass produced, there is no way to find a wig that perfectly matches your head size/measurements.
• Constant readjustments – when you wear a wig, you may forget that your hair still grows underneath it. So, if you wear a wig every day, you’ll find that the wig will need to be readjusted every few weeks and getting your wigs readjusted so often can be not only time-consuming but expensive as well.

The process of wearing a lace closure wig is similar to that of a lace front wig. So, all you need to do is fix the wig to your head, ensure that it fits and you’re happy with the part and style of the wig, then you just need to glue down the lace panel and cut off the extra. It’s as simple as that. There’s nothing much else you need to do, other than to style the hair of the wig. Of course, this needs to be done as if fit were your own hair.

After all, if you constantly dye it or style it with products, you’ll find the strands are worn out more quickly than it would, with good care and maintenance, especially with human hair lace closure wigs, as these strands are made with real human hair, which are more susceptible to damage than synthetic hair. So, make sure that when you style your wig, you know how to take care of it, so it doesn’t wear out too quickly.

That answer depends on you. If you’re happy to style your wig simply, meaning you want to leave it down, then the lace closure wig is a good choice for you. After all, it is one of the cheaper wigs than others. It’s also much easier to maintain and durable. However, if you’re looking to create updos, high ponytails, and even space buns, then you’re better off with other wig types, like the 360-lace wig, or even the full lace wig, as they’re more tailored to these types of hairstyles.

Essentially, it depends on your preference which type of wig you choose to buy, and a lace closure wig is best for its convenience. So, you don’t need to worry about maintaining the lace panel, nor about dying the cap to match your hair or blending it into your hairline. The only thing you need to consider is the fit of the wig and whether it will need to constantly be readjusted to your growing hair. However, these issues can easily be addressed with. So, make sure you know what you want to do with your wig, and then you’ll know whether you want to wear a lace closure wig or another type of wig.
