What Is a Closure Wig?

The ‘closure’ in a closure wig is primarily made of lace material which blends into the skin. The lace of these wigs is primarily made from Swiss lace, transparent lace, or hd lace. It is not designed like the frontal wigs which cover the whole head, rather most closures are found either at the center or side.

These wigs are so comfortable to wear and can be parted to any side of the face. This depends on the size of the closure purchased. Some of the most popular sizes have been mentioned above. A few of the lace closures come pre-plucked, highly ventilated, and with some strands of baby hairs in front ready for styling.
