Closures Behind the Hairline

What is a closure?

A closure is a semi-permanent ventilated hair base that is normally 2-6 inches wide and imitates the scalp to give full protection to your natural hair. Specifically, our HD Swiss Lace Closures not only protect your hair, but they also provide you with a realistic hairstyle and natural-looking finish. A lace closure can be sewn, taped or even glued down and is considered one of the best options for someone to maintain the health of their natural hair while wearing extensions.

With our lace closures, you will enjoy a  natural hairline with seamless coverage of the top front section of your head. Our lace closures are ventilated to resemble the natural growth patterns of your scalp, offering an undetectable finish for an overall enhanced appearance.
