Raw Hair Closures

About

Single-Donor Raw Lace Closures — Cuticle Intact A closure finishes the top of a sew-in. Instead of leaving out your own hair to blend, a lace panel is sewn over the crown and the hair is parted directly on the lace, so none of your own hair is exposed to heat or tension for the life of the install. A raw closure is that same panel made from single-donor hair that has never been chemically processed — no dyes, no relaxers, no silicone coatings, cuticles intact and all running one direction. That matters more on a closure than anywhere else on the head, because the closure sits where the light hits and where people look. Processed lace hair fades and coarsens on a different schedule than raw hair does, so after a few washes the part stops matching the rest of the install. Buy the closure from the same tier and the same texture as your bundles. Raw with raw, virgin with virgin. It is the single easiest thing you can do to keep a sew-in reading like hair that grew out of your own head. Raw Hair Closure FAQ What is a raw hair closure? A lace panel — most often 4x4, 5x5 or 2x6 inches — hand-tied with single-donor human hair that has never been chemically processed. It covers the crown of a sew-in so you can part the hair directly on the lace instead of leaving out your own hair to blend. What is the difference between a raw closure and a virgin closure? The donor, not the chemistry — neither is chemically processed. A raw closure is hand-tied with hair from one head, so every strand is the same age and the cuticles run one way. Virgin lace hair is chemically untreated too, but it is routinely blended across donors so a batch matches. On a closure the difference shows up in how it ages: single-donor hair lifts, fades and coarsens on the same schedule as the raw bundles around it. Which closure is best: 4x4, 5x5 or 2x6? Choose by how you part. A 4x4 gives a simple middle or side part with the least lace to blend, which makes it the easiest to melt. A 5x5 adds an inch on eve
