Frontal Hair Closure FAQs
Hair Closure Piece questions and answers
Closures are one of the most revolutionary techniques in Hair weave history. They help you achieve a more natural full head weave. Closures are most commonly attached to a cornrow base by securing around the perimeter.
ONYC® Hair Lace Frontal Closures are essential for a truly undetectable weave. The Closure Top Piece is designed with a durable lace base to enhance the finished look of your weave. It has a medium-density for a most natural look; it is freestyling so can be parted in different directions. The hair has been double knotted for durability so can be used several times!
Frontals are incorporated with weft to close a sew-in across the front hairline-hence the name frontals. It helps to achieve the most natural full head weave or can be used to create a more affordable lace wig.
Frontals need very experienced and creative technicians to achieve that close to the perfect hairline, otherwise, you wind up with too full, overly perfect and so unnatural hairline. Guess what? ONYC® Frontal Closures eliminates that!
Frontal-Closure is the combination of both. Which means, it almost constructed like closures with thin skin around the perimeter but has the advantage of a frontal (having hairline)
Yes, all our Closures both the Cuticle and Remy Collections are all Free Parting. This means you can part it however you want!
It is simple…..
- ONYC® Closures are invented by the BEST in Lace Frontal Closures business and meticulously crafted by our creative and detail-oriented staff.
- Our closures have very Natural Density which helps to combat the wig look hence offers you the most natural finish look!
- ONYC® Closures are Natural Part Closures Piece so you can part it in different directions.
- Our Closures/Frontals have Natural distribution to mimic your natural hair distribution, this creates a very natural look if properly installed.
HD Lace or Transparent Lace is a new lace material that is more light, soft and delicate and looks more transparent than normal lace, which can melt into our skin more perfectly, which makes the hairline more invisible. Unfortunately, this type of lace is very fragile and NOT durable for sew-in.
We do not offer HD Lace/ Transparent Lace Closures. Closures are usually sewn-In so require some durable material. The lace for HD lace is very fragile, so longevity and durability are big concerns.
We will however offer this in the future. It will be available as a custom order in our Virgin Hair Wigs Collections. Wig can give you the option to carefully remove it as opposed to sew-ins!
We DO NOT offer uniform density closure, it will not look natural!” We offer gradual density so it’ll be hard to answer your question because each part of the closure exhibits different density.
For instance, the hairline will be much thinner than the back.
This is done to create the most natural look possible. This is why we stated “Gradual Natural Density” but in general, it is more of a medium-density than full density.

The Relax-Perm Closure is made from 100% Cuticle Virgin Hair and the SASSY Remy Relax Perm is made from Chinese Remy Hair.
The Sassy Remy™ is made from Virgin Remy Human Hair while the Luxury Ultima is made from Cuticle Virgin Hair.
The Sassy Remy might appear silkier initially but it’ll gain more texture after a couple of washes. It stands as a budget-friendly alternative compared to our Cuticle Hair.
Be rest assured that we maintain our quality standard- CREDIBILITY, INTEGRITY, and CONSISTENCY all the way. Products on our SASSY REMY™ collections can be reused several times and still retain its texture.
1) With weft, the weft process is done before the curls are formed and there is a dense amount of hair on track to create a uniform curl!
2) Closures, on the other hand, are done after the curl to avoid the root being straight! They are also done strand by strand hence the curl is slightly more unruly which makes it natural! You will notice defined curls towards the middle and tip of the hair as the hair come together. Also, the texture is generally looser due to stretching during the closure ventilation process.
3) Also, you must know all our hair is made from 100% virgin hair; the only process we do is add the curl. Virgin hair exhibits certain characteristics: some will be silkier, some will hold curls better, some have a thicker diameter. All these will affect the result of the hair after we process the curl (done manually for a natural look) hence there is slight variation in the curl pattern.
To achieve more defined curls, you will need to:
i) Section the closures especially if you have a large closure. Just like you would section your natural hair for a more defiled curl!
ii) Make sure the hair is really wet with the moisturizing conditions to force the strands to come together and then manipulate the curls with a nice curly hairbrush.
iii) Scrunch it with a towel to induce the curls!
iv) Finally, let it air dry while scrunching at intervals. Do not separate the curls until it is almost dry.
v) You can further induce curls with a diffuser.
vi) Another helpful tip if you feel the texture is slightly different, try sewing in one or 2 tracks of the weft (preferably split version) inside the closure for better blending. This is not necessary, but some customers do so.
Silk-Base Closures means the Base of the closure is Silk and Lace-Base Closures means the base is Lace.
We ONLY offer Lace Base Closures for the following reasons:
- Lace Base closures are more realistic than Silk Base Closures. It is very difficult to get a Silk Based Closure to look like a natural scalp, the silk base comes way too light to achieve a realistic scalp. Also, if you want to have a very natural side part or pull your hair back from your face, it is VERY hard to hide the obvious demarcation in the front where the silk ends and the lace starts.
- The Lace base closures are more breathable and also lay flatter than the Silk Base Closures.
- Some people are concerned about bleaching the knot on the Lace closures. You need not worry because ONYC® Cuticle Closure/Frontals already come with the knot moderately bleached- This is actually a way to further proof that it’s real cuticle virgin hair as you cannot bleach non-cuticle virgin hair!
- Our knots are tied with very few strands and a single strand in the hairline which makes the knot almost invisible.
Installation and Maintenance
Upon receiving your closure, inspect the product while leaving tags intact! Please review your closure before removing labels and tags. You can still return the hair for an exchange if the product is not tampered with! Once this label is removed, it is 100% void for any exchange. Please do not tamper with the product if you have concerns or reservations as we cannot restock a tampered item back.
To perform a durability test, put a little bit of tension (as much as you would put on your own hair strand without hurting yourself!) This helps you to know the amount of tension required for the closure! If the strands are not coming out, then your closure is in perfect condition. If after you install it and start balding or shedding it has to do with how it has been maintained.
We recommend getting any coloring professional done!
All closures on our raw virgin hair can be color treated as they are 100% Pure Cuticle VirginHair. One of the great advantages of CUTICLE hair is the ability to take chemical process with very minimal to no damage to the cuticle.
To maintain the integrity of the hair, we recommend performing lifting color process (going lighter than original color) on the “Natural Colors ONLY” The Natural colors will generally come as “Natural Brown” or “Natural Black” The treated colors will come as #1, #1B and so on…
You are free to use a deposit color (going darker) on both Natural and treated colors. Generally, it is advised to make any major color changes before installment. This is because the hair might have a slightly different texture or porosity compared to the weft hair. Also, it is quite difficult to completely watch off the residue from color process on installed closure. You DO NOT want the chemical residue on your scalp which can cause serious scalp injury which includes hair loss.
You have the option of gluing or sewing down your closure piece.
- Note that we strongly advise that you get your closure installed by a Specialist. These are hand-knotted to offer a more natural look so require a little “Tender Little Care”
- Do not put much tension on the closure and do not stretch too hard to avoid damage.
- Wash very gently. For a deep scalp cleanse, we recommend removing the closure before wash and reinstall afterward.
To achieve a more natural scalp that will complement your skin color, we recommend using a very thin stretchable fabric (wig cap for instance) lighter but closer to your skin tone.
This will actually give you a more natural-looking scalp and will blend easier to your skin tone.
Lace Closures are something that requires a lot of tenderness and care to get the best use of its creation!
Too much tension throughout the course of use can cause the closure to bald. We recommend treating the closure like you would treat your own hair. Like your own hair, if you create too much tension you will experience tenderness which results in shedding and balding. So overall be very gentle to avoid shedding.
Overall, it is important to realize if the closure is fine and starts balding afterward, it is a great indication of how the closure has been handled. Extra care when installing and removing the closure must be taken into consideration when using this meticulous piece.
Also, factor in general wear and tear and closures are not meant to last as long as weft due to the fragile nature.

Our Sassy Remy™ collections already come processed with texture and color. We strongly recommend deposit colors ONLY (this means going darker than the original color but not lighter).

No, we cannot do that simply for hygienic reasons!
