Buying guide (read before you buy)
Buying bundles with closure is what stops you leaving your own hair out to blend. A lace closure is a small panel of lace that covers the crown, with hair hand-tied into it, so the part sits on the lace instead of on your scalp. Nothing of yours is exposed to heat, tension or daily styling for the life of the install.
This page holds the two sizes most installs use, 4x4 and 5x5, in HD and transparent lace on 100% virgin human hair. Eight textures, eight colors, lengths from 10 to 18 inches, all free part.
How to choose the size, the lace and the length
Size is a question of how much you move your part, not how much hair you want. A 4x4 gives sixteen square inches of lace and handles a fixed middle or side part. It is the smallest to blend and the fastest to install, which is why it is the one to learn on. A 5x5 adds an inch in every direction, so the part can go deeper, sit further off center, and be moved mid-week without reinstalling.
HD lace is the thinner of the two laces. It sits into the scalp rather than on top of it, so most people lay it with no bleaching and no tinting. It is also more delicate. Transparent lace is sturdier, blends with most skin tones on its own, and survives more take-downs before it thins, which makes it the forgiving choice if you install yourself.
Buy the closure in the same texture and length range as your bundles. A 14-inch closure blends with 14 to 18-inch bundles; the 18-inch is the one for longer installs. If your bundles are colored, buy the closure in that color rather than dyeing it. Lace hair lifts differently from wefted hair and the part ends up a shade off.
Questions people ask about closures
What is a lace closure?
A lace closure is a hairpiece that closes off the top of a sew-in. Hair is knotted by hand into a square or rectangle of sheer lace, and that panel sits where your part would be. It gives you a scalp-like parting without leaving any of your own hair out.
What is a closure sew-in?
A closure sew-in is a full weave where wefts are stitched to your braided-down hair and a lace closure finishes the crown. Every strand of your own hair stays braided underneath. That is why people choose it over a leave-out install.
Lace closure or lace frontal?
A closure covers the crown; a frontal covers the whole hairline, ear to ear. Choose a closure if you wear the same part and keep the hair down. Choose a frontal if you want to pull the hair back or part anywhere across the front. The closure costs you less time either way: less lace to cut, less to bleach, less to lay.
What lace closure sizes are there?
4x4 and 5x5 are the two standards, and they are what this page carries. Beyond those, a 2x6 is a narrow strip for a long front-to-back part on the least possible lace, and a 6x6 or 7x7 gives a wide free-parting area closer to what a frontal does. The 2x6 and the 7x7 each have their own page.
What is a closure wig?
A closure wig is a full cap unit with a lace closure sewn in at the crown, so it comes on and off in one piece instead of being sewn to your head. Stylists build them from a closure and a few bundles. Finished units are grouped under closure wigs.
Lace closure or silk base closure?
Lace is thinner and blends flatter. A silk base has a fabric layer under the knots that mimics a scalp, so the knots hide without bleaching, but it sits higher off the head and is harder to lay. Everything here is lace.

Take the closure down at six to eight weeks with the rest of the install and it will go back in several more times. If you want only one lace type, they are split into HD lace closures and transparent lace closures. Then pick your matching bundles and read the braid pattern guide. Closures come back within 30 days of delivery: untouched for a full refund, worn for store credit, return shipping on you. The return policy has the detail.
Frequently asked questions
Is the hairline pre-plucked?
The hairline on Mayvenn's closures isn't pre-plucked, but it can be fully customized so that the closure can fit your desired look.
Are the knots on the closure bleached?
No, the knots on the closures are not pre-bleached so that they can be customized to match your skin tone. Need help learning how to bleach a closure ? One of our Mayvenn Certified Stylists can help you customize your closure with quality, professional products.
Can I part a closure anywhere?
Yes, you can part a closure anywhere on its 4"x4" of parting space. This means that you can achieve a side or middle part with ease!
How many bundles do I need with a closure?
To achieve a full look with a closure, you don't need as many bundles as you normally would. How many bundles do you need ? Usually 2-4 bundles will work for a full closure install - the longer the bundles, the more you'll need to complete your look.
What's the difference between silk and lace closures?
On a lace closure, the hair is attached directly to the lace base. On a silk closure, there is a small piece of neutral-colored silk on top of the lace that is meant to mimic a natural scalp. People that prefer lace closures like that the closure lays flatter and that the lace and amount of bleaching for the knots can be customized based on the client's skin tone. On the other hand, the knots on silk closures aren't visible and do not require any bleaching or customization, but the material is thicker and it's harder to lay flat. Deciding which kind of closure to use depends on personal preference and desired look.
How long will a closure last?
The longevity of your closure depends largely on your care and maintenance at home. Making sure that it's properly detangled, the knots aren't over processed, and that it's protected from heat damage all help your closure last throughout your entire install!
Can I re-use my closure?
No, it's best to not re-use your closure - unless you've used it to create a custom wig that you can take on and off. Getting a fresh closure for each install ensures that your look will last!
Can I apply hot tools to my closure?
Yes! Our closures are made of 100% virgin human hair, so they can be styled exactly like your own hair. Blow dry it, iron it, curl it - just be sure to use a heat protectant spray!
