What You Need To Know About Silk Base Closure and Lace Closure

As far as hair extensions and wearing weaves are concerned, your aim must always be to get a natural look. It is true that nobody wants the weave to be detected easily and that is why a lot of installations demand leaving some hair out towards the front so as to cover the tracks seamlessly. However, this weaving method is accompanied by the trouble of blending original hair with the exact texture of hair extensions. 

Most of the times, in order to execute the blending process successfully, application of constant heat is carried out and hence there is high risk of extensive heat damage. Well, in case of closures, this isn’t the case. In this case, a small hair unit is utilized to cover the front portion of the hair, the area where one would leave the hair out normally. So, the installation is generally flawless with a natural hairline appearance. It is really a great thing to wear hair extensions that are natural looking without causing any damage to the hair.  

Speaking of types of closures, they come in two distinct bases – lace front closure or top closure and lace closure. Both these hair additions can be attached by tape and adhesive or sewn down. While the attachment methods are quite similar, the bases are different in characteristics. 

A silk base closure is also called Brazilian loose wave hair. It is manufactures using hair strands that are embedded into a silk material that is nude and silk-like. And this is generally supported with lace. Silk base closures tend to last much longer and normally don’t require bleaching unlike the lace closures. So these are preferred by many. Owing to the silk fabric that backs the closure, knots do not form and hence it can imitate the scalp clearly without any considerable changes. 

Lace closures are made by the ventilation of individual strands into a lace foundation. These closures provide a scalp-like appearance as and when it is positioned near the natural scalp or against the skin. Besides, it ensures a great flat and easy installation that will make your hairstyle appear incredibly real. However, if you want the best results, your lace closure may need some tweaking. Well, the dot matrix becomes visible when it is placed against the skin; hence, it is ideal to bleach the knots in this closure to get rid of the grid-like effects the matrix produces. The bleached knots seem to induce the individual strands of hair that grow from your scalp directly. Provided you fail to bleach the closure appropriately, you are taking a risk of ruining your hair and lace along with wasting your money as well. Conversely, a concealed or foundation can be used to the lace so as to enhance its natural appearance.
