4x4 Closures

About

A 4x4 closure is four inches of lace in each direction — 16 square inches of parting space, set at the crown to close off a sew-in or finish a wig. It is the original closure size and still the most worn, because it covers a middle or side part with the least lace of any square closure. Less lace means less to cut, tint and melt, a faster install, and a piece that holds up through more take-downs. Every 4x4 closure here is 100% virgin human hair, hand-tied onto a free-part base, in natural black to match your bundles straight out of the pack. Both laces are stocked at this size: transparent, the sturdier one, in straight, body wave, loose wave, deep wave, curly, yaki straight and kinky straight; and HD, the thinnest lace made, in straight, body wave, loose wave and deep wave. Lengths run from 12 to 20 inches. How to choose the lace, texture and length Pick the lace first. Transparent is the one to learn on: it takes rough handling, survives repeat installs and blends on its own on most skin tones. HD melts flatter with no bleaching or tinting, but it tears if you are heavy-handed, so it is the better buy when a stylist is laying it or the part is going to be seen up close. On a base this small the gap between the two is narrower than on a 5x5 or 6x6 — there is simply less lace to hide — which makes the 4x4 the one size where transparent is a first choice, not the budget one. Want the flattest melt anyway? Shop HD . Then match the closure to your bundles, not to your wish list: same texture, same natural black. Go the same length as your shortest bundle or one step under it. A 14-inch closure blends cleanly with 16, 18 and 20-inch bundles; the 18 and 20-inch closures are for longer installs, where the top layer needs the extra length.
