LACE TOP CLOSURES are made with a lace-like foundation with hair strands embedded into the tiny holes. Pros: It gives a scalp-like appearance when placed against your skin or natural scalp. It also allows for a very flat and easy application that will make your install look very real. Lace top closures are generally cheaper than silk base closures. Cons: You'll need to do some tweaking to lace closures to achieve the best results and you need an experienced and knowledgeable stylist. Because the hair strands are directly embedded into the sheer lace, tiny knots where the hair and lace meet are visible when placed against your skin, which means you'll have to bleach the knots to get rid of the grid-like effect the dots create. And if not bleached correctly, you risk ruining your closure and the hair attached—and wasting your money. Alternatively, you may add concealer to the lace for an easy route to achieve a natural appearance. SILK BASE CLOSURES are made with hair strands embedded into a nude, skin-like silk material that is reinforced with lace. Pros: Silk base closures tend to last longer and generally don't require any bleaching like lace closures. Because of the silk material backing on the closure, the knots are not visible and mimic the scalp without much alteration. Cons: While the silk material helps to conceal the knots to create the appearance of a real scalp, every scalp isn't created equal so if you are of darker complexion and have a much darker scalp, you will need to alter and tint your silk base. Also, this type of closure tends to be a little thicker, which can pose as a challenge with getting a super flat install. HOW DOES PAYING MORE FOR A SILK BASE CLOSURES SAVE YOU MONEY? It's simple. The average hair extension installation may last 8 even 10 weeks. We recommend about 2 months. If you want to install extensions four times a year over the next two years, you'd have to purchase eight $50 lace top closures for $400. However, if you purchase a high quality 10" Huetiful silk base closure you would pay $199 just once but be able to use it for up to two years. In summary, the type of closure you select is going to come down to how much you're willing to pay up front, your desired daily comfort wearing experience, and whether or not you look at a closure as an investment or a cost and expense. Selecting the more expensive, silk base closure may be in your best interest for both the near and long-term. And if you are going to purchase a Lace Top Closure, ensure that it is of the highest quality. Selecting the best hair extension closure Huetiful Silk Base Closure Beauty Supply Lace Top Closure
