Sewing down the lace closure was just okay for me but my cornrows became loose a few days later and I had to use bobby pins on the sides to make it lay flat (no Bueno!). I've been wearing my closure with my Virgin Filipino Hair but for this post, I decided to wear the closure with my Brazilian 3/4 Ombre Wig to show how versatile the closure is. I was so impressed with how well the elastic band method works that I will not sew my closures down again. With the elastic band method, the closure lays super flat, stays secure and best of all no hair is left out.

I wore the closure with a side bang and curled my hair using a curling iron.

The scalp looks a little light because of the flash, it actually blends perfectly. |

I love this closure!! If I had to rate it out of 10, I would give it a 9/10.
Pros
- Doesn't shed.
- Durable (when I was sewing down the closure I pulled tight, I also installed, and re-installed multiple times and the closure did not tear.)
- Versatile (I wore the closure with my Virgin Filipino Hair & Virgin Brazilian Hair).
- Perfect length so no need for layering.
- I can wear it without bleaching the knots.
- Curls and straightens easily
- Versatile parting & styling (Even though I requested a middle part closure I'm still able to part the closure wherever I want).
- It has the guard around the lace which is really helpful and guides you on where to sew & prevents the lace from getting damaged.
Cons
- There are quite a few grey hairs. I used a tweezer to take out the grey strands that were visible.
I'm looking forward to my kinky curly hair purchase soon and I want to purchase a kinky curly closure to match with the hair. I actually wish I had tried a lace closure sooner, I am a closure convert because of this Brazilian lace closure :P
I love the way your closure looks, I'm a newbie to the hair game and randomly came across your blog. Where did you buy this closure? if you don't mind me asking.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog girlie girl :)
Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteI got the closure for free to review. You can purchase it here: http://www.baduhair.com/product.wml/storeid/7190/productid/302080/Badu-Hair/Brazilian-Lace-Top-Closure.htm?SessionID=0a00002d07dc04090036163e7
Very cute! Since you are using the closure do you find that you need to use less hair? I'm not sure if I still need 3 bundles. I don't like my hair bulky.
ReplyDeleteThank you:)
DeleteI used 3 bundles even with my closure but I am sure you can use 2 bundles since you do not like your hair full. Especially if you are using lengths less than 18 inches, 2 bundles will be sufficient.
Your blog explaining all the main points very awesomely. Thanks for sharing this knowledgeable post. Visit: Lace Closures
