What’s more beginner-friendly for a sew-in: closure or frontal?

When it comes to closure vs frontal for a beginner-friendly sew-in, closures are generally the better option. Closures typically measure 4x4 or 5x5 inches and are designed to cover only the top portion of your head, allowing you to part your hair in the middle or slightly to the side. They're easier to install, require less customization, and are lower maintenance than frontals—making them ideal for those new to sew-ins or lace pieces.

Frontals, on the other hand, stretch from ear to ear and offer more styling versatility, including pulled-back looks and side parts. However, they often demand more experience with blending, adhesive, and upkeep to ensure a natural hairline and prevent lifting. For beginners, this can feel overwhelming and cause accelerated wear and tear if improperly maintained.

A closure offers a more straightforward solution, especially if you're looking for a protective style with minimal fuss. It allows your natural hair to rest while still giving you a polished, blended appearance without the daily stress of edge control or lace glue. Plus, closures last longer between installs, making them a budget-friendly and time-saving choice.
If you're just starting your sew-in journey and prefer a natural look with simple upkeep, a closure is definitely the way to go.
