Frontal Functions

Frontals and Closures are all the rage! The purpose of Frontals and Closures is to minimize the damage done to leave out. Leave out being the small portion of a person’s natural that is left out when getting weaved/sew in extensions.

Before Frontals and Closures the left out natural hair was still exposed to damage unlike the rest of the hair that is braided up for growth. Thanks to the hair pieces all leave out can be protected!

There are different types of Frontals and Closures. The most popular is the Lace based. The base of the hair piece is Lace and transparent in order to conceal natural hair and give off a realistic appearance. However some wearers have complained that this base is too “obvious” and gives off a Wig-like look. A simple trick to assist in hiding the lace is to use a bit of concealer make up or dark eye shadow to dab along the fabric showing, or another type would be the Silk base, the hair is attached to a Silk base which appears extremely realistic and scalp-like.

Frontals and Closures are very temporary! Typically lasting around 2-4 weeks. The reason being that a person’s natural hair is experiencing growth (a good thing!) and therefore the hair piece will begin to life and loosen. This is the purpose of a correctly applied Frontal or Closure so it is a good effect.

 

Closures and Frontals can be expensive. It is best to invest in a good one, a consumer wants to be sure they purchase a manageable hair piece because these Hair pieces are attached at the top of the head and are very noticeable. This piece is also what brings the entire hair style together so it should match the extensions as well.

Celebrities Who are Wearing a Wig, Right Now!

When many of us think of our favorite celebrities, few stop to think of the character they create and maintain in their personal lives. Acting is not an easy job, though some would like to think so. To become a favored A-listed actor or actress, one must endure odd schedules, hours of make-up and hair styling sessions, hours of studying, filming in extreme conditions at times, and worse—A constant barrage of critique from the public over looks, manners, actions and comment. It’s no wonder many celebrities suffer depression and other social anxiety disorders over time.

If that wasn’t enough, many celebrities also suffer from premature hair loss as a result of years of abusive hair regimes that expose them to a host of damaging chemicals, ruining their natural look. Most recently, Keira Knightly was interviewed by InStyle, in which she confessed to having worn a wig in public over the past 5 years… 5 Years!!! What’s best is that she loves it!

“For the past five years I’ve used wigs, which is the greatest thing that’s ever happened to my hair.” The 31 year old told InStyle.

It goes without saying that celebrities are leading the charge when it comes to wearing a wig in public. They understand that looking your best doesn’t mean you have to compromise because you’re having a bad hair day. When you wear a wig, everyday is a great hair day. In Keira Knightly’s case, her hair started falling out when she was 26 because of all the constant hairstyle changes in her career. In addition to that, she also admits that her hair isn’t exactly easy to manage, being the thick curly type; it’s not easy to wake up every morning and put on the perfect face.
