When it comes to achieving that celebrity-status "melted" look, nothing beats a frontal weave. Unlike a standard wig that you can take off at night, a frontal weave is typically a sew-in installation using human hair bundles and a frontal piece to create a semi-permanent, flawless style.
But with great beauty comes great responsibility. A frontal weave requires more care than a standard closure. Here is everything you need to know about installing and styling your frontal weave for that perfect finish.
What is a Frontal Weave?
A frontal weave is a hairstyle constructed by sewing wefts of hair (bundles) onto braided natural hair, combined with a frontal—a lace piece that covers the hairline from ear to ear (usually 13x4 inches).
This combination gives you the best of both worlds: the volume and length of luxury bundles, with the versatile, natural hairline of a frontal.
Installation: Glued vs. Glueless
One of the biggest questions we get at Exclusive Virgin Hair is: "Do I need glue?"
-
The Glued Method: This is the most popular for that seamless "scalp" look. A stylist uses a safe lace adhesive to secure the frontal to your forehead. This offers the most security for up-dos and high ponytails.
-
The Glueless Method: Using an elastic band or careful sewing techniques, you can secure a frontal without adhesive. This is better for your edges but may not lay as flat as the glued method.
Whichever method you choose, the quality of the hair matters. Our Human Hair Bundles are thick, double-wefted, and designed to blend perfectly with our high-definition frontals.
3 Ways to Style Your Frontal Weave
The magic of a frontal weave is the versatility. Because the lace goes ear-to-ear, you aren't stuck with a middle part.
-
The Deep Side Part: Nothing screams elegance like a deep side part with body waves. Using our Vietnam Hair textures, you can hold a curl for days.
-
The Half-Up, Half-Down: Since the back is sewn in and the front is lace, you can pull the top section into a high bun while leaving the back flowing.
-
Sleek and Straight: For a professional, boss-babe look, a bone-straight install is timeless. Ensure you use a wax stick to tame flyaways on the frontal for that polished finish.
Maintenance Tips for Longevity
-
Tie it down: Every night, use a satin scarf to press the lace down. This keeps the glue from lifting and the edges from fraying.
-
Watch the heat: While our virgin hair can handle heat, excessive ironing on the frontal lace can cause balding over time.
-
Professional Removal: Never rip your frontal off! Use a lace remover or go back to your stylist to protect your natural hairline.
