Position the closure right on your scalp, with the hairline part fitting right on your hairline. Pinch the hair with hairpins, put it where you want it to cover, and fix it to match the hairline to your comfort. 

6. How do I sew the 2x6 lace closure?

To sew-in 2x6 lace closures, take a needle and find a hair-colored thread to use for suturing.

When you reach the end, make a knot and trim the rest of the string from a thread.

7. How do I blend the 2x6 lace closure with my natural hair?

Carefully cut the excess lace along the closure's hairline. Then, comb and brush the closure into your natural hair.

You can also style the hair using a flat iron or curling iron. Virgin Hair 2x6 Closures of Private Label are for women wanting a natural-looking hairline with the added benefit of deeper parting.

Apply a thin adhesive layer to the lace and press it firmly against your scalp.

Allow the adhesive to set for a few minutes before styling the hair. This optional step is handy for using a Virgin Hair 2x6 Closure from Private Label.

9. What should I do if my 2x6 lace closure starts to shed?

Weave shedding is normal, but excessive shedding can be a sign of damage.

Avoid brushing the hair when wet to minimize shedding and use a wide-tooth comb.

If shedding persists, consult a professional stylist for advice.

10. What is the best size lace closure?

The best size of lace closure depends on the individual's desire and needs for the hairdo. Old-school lace closures usually are 4x4 closures, which implies that they have 4 inches of parting space and 4 inches that go back to parting.

However, hair vendors have recently introduced other sizes, such as:

Which give adequate room for baby hair and the ability to style hair differently.

The only difference between a 2x6 and a 5x5 closure is their size. A 2x6 closure is smaller than a 4x4 closure, measuring 2 inches in width and 6 inches in length. A 5x5 closure, on the other hand, is larger, stretching across 5 inches on your forehead and back 5 inches.

12. How long do 2x6 sew-ins last?

The time it takes to install a 2x6 sew-in can range from 4 to 8 hours or even more, depending on the quality of the hair, the lace used, the expertise of the stylist, and how often it is maintained.

However, the search results need to indicate a clear timeline for the duration of the 2x6 sew-in. .

Consider your hair texture, color, and length when choosing a lace closure. Opt for a closure that closely matches your natural hair for a seamless blend.

Consulting with a stylist can also help you make the best choice.

These are the standard sizes: 2 by 6, 4 by 4, 5 by 5, 6 by 6, and 7 by 7. The closure size mainly depends on the size of the lace piece used. The greater the closure size, the better the space left for parting and styling.
