All About Lace Frontals

Are you thinking about getting a lace frontal? Have you gotten caught up in the hype and haven’t done your research? Well, this is what you need to know. The purpose of the frontal is to protect your hair from damage while providing maximum versatility.

If you want a lace closure (size 5×5, 4×4, 3×4, etc.), well you’re going to have to accept that a closure is the price of a bundle of hair, and it will not stay in place for the entire duration of your install. Your hair grows and the closure grows with it; you will need retouches every 2-4 weeks.

If you want a lace frontal (size 13×4-13×8), you’re going to have to accept that it will usually cost you much more than bundle of hair, it will require lots of tweaking to look the slightest bit natural (bleaching, tweezing, tinting, trimming, etc.), and it will require weekly maintenance/upkeep.

There is absolutely no way in hell to get your frontal to look the one pictured with just needle and thread! A closure will lay down without some sort of adhesive only from around the end of your eyebrow to the other end of your eyebrow, depending on your head shape. To get those side burns and have that lace frontal mesh to your scalp like that you’re 99.9% going to have to use an adhesive (which does not have to be lace glue).

Do not get a frontal if:

1.You don’t want to pay for maintenance or upkeep. You’re gonna be hurt when you have to keep returning to your stylist. It is not your stylist's fault. Again, lace is very temporary!

2.You don’t want to spend money on the hair such as virgin Brazilian body wave hair bundles, the frontal, the customization of the frontal, and the install.

3.You have a small forehead. If your hairline sits closer to your eyebrows then it will either look like a wig or you will have to sit the frontal on your hairline which isn’t too pretty either.

4.You don’t want your stylist to use products or adhesive and you think you’ll get 100% versatility, completely protected hair, and a flawless lace install that looks like your real hair for longer than a few days.

5.Most darker skinned women can’t seem to get lace to match our skin tone well enough to make it look as flawless as lighter skinned females.
