Lace and Silk Closures – Which is Better?

When we talk about wearing hair extensions and weaves, the motive should be obtaining a natural like appearance. You will surely not wish your weave to get detected. This is the reason why in various installations, the hairs need to be left out in the front for covering tracks. Additionally, with the weaving process, there is the hassle to blend the hair texture of the extensions and your own hair texture. The process can turn out to be extremely annoying.

Furthermore, for ensuring the success of the blending process, you need to apply constant heat. This significantly increases the chances of heat damage. Today, all thanks to closures, now wearing a believable weave without resulting in any hair damage is possible. Closures are small hair unit that are used for covering the front of the hair where you normally leave hair out for giving the installation a natural hairline appearance.

Closures are available in two different forms, silk closures and lace closures. They can be sewn, taped or glued. Even though both of them are applied to your hair and more or less achieve the same results, still they are different. If you are not sure which closure is ideal for your hair, let us learn more about the both forms of closures.

You can comfortably bleach the knots for eliminating the grid like effect which the dots create. An easy alternative is adding foundation.
