The difference lies in how much lace is on the wig, which affects how natural it looks and how much styling flexibility you have.

  • 4x4 Lace
    A small 4 inch x 4 inch closure at the top of the wig. It’s very easy to install and perfect for beginners. You can create a natural-looking middle or slightly off-centre part.

  • 5x5 Lace
    Slightly larger than a 4x4, the 5 inch x 5 inch closure gives you more lace space and a more natural top area. It offers flexible parting while still being easy to wear.

  • 9x6 Lace
    A wide and deep closure that gives you much more space to part and style your wig. It creates a natural look similar to a frontal but without the maintenance of full ear-to-ear lace.

  • 13x4 Lace
    A full frontal with lace running ear-to-ear. This offers the most styling versatility and the most natural hairline. You can part your wig anywhere across the front.

Each lace type gives you a different balance of flexibility, natural finish and ease of use — allowing you to choose the option that best suits your lifestyle and styling needs.
