It is simple, cost-effective and a great way to protect your natural hair while achieving your desired look. A Frontal is similar to a Closure (made from lace, filled with hair) except it allows you to pull the hair back for a more natural look. A Frontal covers your entire hairline, and the top of your head. A Frontal requires more maintenance than a Closure. It is prefered by those wanting a variety of textures and colors. Frontals eliminate the need to dye your natural hair. We recommend a Frontal for those that have traction alopecia or those wanting to protect your hairline.
  • How does a Va'Luminous Closure it work?
    Va'Luminous Closures are made with lace, and the size is primarily 4in" (length) and 4in" (width). The reason for this particular size is to ensure that your Closure is large enough to give the option of a middle or side part in your sew-in, or Va'Luminous Wig. Before wearing it for the first time, you'll cut a small amount of lace on the Wig's Closure piece so it matches the shape of your hairline. The Wig's part and style are already set, so once the lace is cut, you're good to go! Hairstylists typically sew lace Closures into place, or bond it with hair adhesive. Your natural hair does not have to be flat ironed to blend with your weave because the Closure is protecting your hair underneath.
