Evolution of Hair Extensions: Closures and Frontals
The hair and beauty industry has witnessed remarkable advancements over the years, with evolving trends that enhance both aesthetics and versatility.
One of the most significant transformations in hairstyling is the shift from traditional weave-on extensions to modern closures and frontals.
In the late 1990s, weave-ons were the preferred choice for women looking to add length and volume to their natural hair.
However, with contemporary innovations, closures and frontals have emerged as the new standard, providing a seamless, natural appearance while allowing for greater styling flexibility.
These hairpieces have become an essential part of hairstyling for various occasions, including weddings, parties, religious gatherings, and other social events.
Understanding Closures and Frontals serves the common purpose of enhancing hair volume and styling options while creating a natural-looking hairline.
They differ in structure, coverage, and styling versatility:
Frontals: A frontal is a hairpiece that extends from ear to ear, usually measuring 13 inches in width and 4 to 6 inches in depth.
It provides a full hairline and allows for diverse parting styles, offering the illusion of a completely natural hairline.
Frontals are typically sewn onto bundles or used to construct full wigs, allowing for maximum styling flexibility.
Closures: A closure is a smaller hairpiece, often measuring around 4×4 inches, and is placed at the crown or front section of the head. Unlike frontals, closures offer limited parting space, making them suitable for more defined and structured hairstyles.
However, closures are low-maintenance and provide a realistic finish that seamlessly blends with natural hair.
These innovative hairpieces offer a more seamless and natural look, elevating confidence and allowing for versatile styling options.
As the industry continues to evolve, closures and frontals remain a preferred choice for women seeking sophisticated, stylish, and convenient hair solutions.
