How to part hair with closures and frontals

For those who have been familiar with hair extensions and wigs, closures and frontals must be their best friends. With versatility and efficiency, using a closure or frontal can bring you a natural hairline and outstanding look. The special designs of closures and frontals enable people to part the hair whatever way they want to, just like what they can do with their real hair. However, it is the flexibility that makes it sometimes quite hard to decide which is the most suitable hair parting. In this article, Anka Hair will give you answers to some questions you may have always wondered about parting hair with closures and frontals. 

I. What can closures and frontals do?

A closure or a frontal is often used with a wig that is made from several hair wefts. It is placed on top of your head in order to make a natural hairline and by that, you can part your hair in a way that makes the wig looklooks so real. 

Not all wigs can do the same. It is because a closure or a frontal usually comes with a piece of lace. For example, at Anka Hair, we use Korean HD lace – a material that combines all qualities needed for a functional lace – which is durable, flexible and can blend perfectly into your skin tone to create an illusion of the hair actually growing from it. That way, no matter how you part your hair, the hairline will look completely natural.

Frontals often have a 13-inch width which can cover from ear to ear and provide a super natural hairline. Wearing a wig with frontal, you can part your hair in as many ways as you can think of: Center parting, side parting, deep parting, zig-zag parting, ect.
