FAQ'S Closures
Our lace and silk base closures are a great way to achieve a polished, cohesive hairstyle. These hair pieces give the illusion of a natural scalp with the proper professional application. Top closures allow for a more natural-looking full installation, all while protecting your natural hair underneath. All of our closures are 85-120% density. Top closures are very delicate, and on average, have a life span of about 2-3 installations. Please consult your stylist to determine if the silk base or lace closure will better suit your needs.
What is the difference between a lace and silk closure?
With both types of closures skill is needed to prep the pieces to emulate hair growing from the scalp once installed. Silk closures have a layer of silk as well as a layer of lace. Silk closures tend to be a little thicker than lace, but have a more realistic scalp-like appearance. Fabric dye is used to tint the silk to match the wearers skin tone. With lace closures, individual hairs are ventilated and knotted directly onto the lace. To give a lace closure the appearance of growing out of ones scalp, the knots will need to be lightened by one of many techniques, the lace tinted to match the skin tone, and often a fabric placed underneath to mimic a scalp. Lace closures are thinner, but some people do not prefer the lace grids that are noticeable up close. One closure isn’t better than the other, it is truly personal preference. Silk closures take more labor to create and are more expensive, but they are also more delicate. Lace closures have a longer lifespan, are flatter, but take more work to make look natural. You should also seek your stylists recommendation to see which closure he/she is more familiar working with.
How do I prevent my closure from balding?
Balding is when your closure begins to have a spot where the hairs have come out of the base creating a balding appearance. This can be caused by, but not limited to, excessive tugging, brushing/combing, scratching with fingernails or foreign objects, applying product directly on the closure, rough handling, or vigorous washing. Closures while mimicking a real scalp, they cannot be treated like a real scalp. You must handle with care. Each hair is individually ventilated into the base, knotted and secured with a strong adhesive. Based on the construction of a closure, you should comb/brush the hair from the ends, working your way up to the root while hold the hair at the root to prevent tension. Hair loss on closures is relatively easy because it is not wefted like extensions. Improper care of your closure will cause balding.
