A T Frontal is very similar to a front lace wig. It is new on the market due to the current lace shortage in Korea. As implied in the name, the lace is designed in a T shape: lace from ear to ear up to 13 inches along the hairline, then down the center around the part, up to 4 inches. Fine quality lace is used in T frontals, which give a gorgeous hairline and transparent part. Clients have shared that they really love their T frontal for a few reasons. Reason #1 the lace covers 13x4 inches which allows for the unit to be worn behind the ear. The side part blends perfectly with your natural scalp complexion. Reason #2 It can be worn glueless. Reason #3 It is less expensive than a full front lace wig, but still great quality #4 Styling versatility; can be worn with curls or straight.
The major drawback to the T frontal is that the part is fixed. You can not manipulate or change the part. If a side part is ordered, then you can only wear a side part. The lace is designed strategically so that the part is as natural looking as possible. Less lace is used in T frontals, than in your standard front lace wig. With the smaller amount of lace used, wig makers opt to use a finer quality of lace. This type of lace has smaller holes making the part look impeccable.
5 x 5 Closures
As we discussed in a previous blog, closures can be used with a sew in or with a wig. Measurements matter and make all the difference. Client head sizes vary, and many have found that the standard 4x4 is not large enough to achieve the desired hairline that they are trying to achieve with a closure. So in comes another “inch'' to create the look they desire. Five inches across your forehead and up to 5 inches of lace back from forehead to crown. Wearers of closures gave mixed reviews on closures. Many do not prefer to use one on their wig. “ I do not like the obvious separation, it did not look natural” “ ‘It did not lay well' The goal is simple: seamless, flawless, natural appearance. A Closure’s construction must be done carefully and measured appropriately.
Front Lace wigs
When interviewing several customers, the POV was unanimous for the front lace wig: “Front lace wigs are my go to for convenient, natural looking hairlines.” Front lace wigs have all the pros. High quality lace is used, giving the sought after beautifully natural hairline and part. Lace is constructed throughout the front of the wig, hence the name.
