Two wigs can use the exact same hair and still wear completely differently because of their construction — the lace cap that controls how you part and style. Here is a plain-English guide to every type, from beginner-friendly closures to fully versatile full lace.
Lace closures (4x4 and 5x5)
A closure is a small lace piece (about 4x4 or 5x5 inches) at the crown that creates one natural parting area. Closures are affordable, secure, and great for everyday wear. The 5x5 gives a little more parting room than the 4x4. Shop glueless closure wigs.
Lace frontals (13x4 and 13x6)
A frontal spans ear to ear, so you can part anywhere across the front and style hair off your face. A 13x6 has deeper parting space than a 13x4 for more dramatic, off-the-face styles. Browse lace front wigs.
360 lace
360 lace runs around the entire perimeter of the head, so you can part anywhere at the front and wear high ponytails and updos that look natural all the way around.
Full lace
The most versatile (and premium) option: the entire cap is lace, so you can part anywhere, do updos, and get a scalp-like look from every angle.
T-part, U-part, and V-part
These are simpler, budget-friendly openings. A T-part gives a clean center part with an easy install; a U-part and V-part blend with a little of your own leave-out hair for a quick, glue-optional install.
Which construction should you choose?
- Beginner / everyday: 4x4 closure or T-part.
- Versatile parting: 13x4 frontal.
- Ponytails & updos: 360 or full lace.
- Maximum realism & styling freedom: full lace.
Frequently asked questions
What is the easiest wig construction for beginners?
A 4x4 closure or a glueless T-part — minimal customizing, secure fit, and a natural part without ear-to-ear lace to manage.
Closure vs frontal — which looks more natural?
Both look natural when installed well. A frontal simply offers more parting versatility; a closure is simpler and more affordable.
Do I need glue?
No. Many FindHub wigs are glueless with adjustable straps and combs — see the glueless install guide.
