It’s common to deal with thinning hair or hair loss as you age, whether because of genetic or lifestyle factors, but it can make you feel stuck in a bad hair Groundhog Day.

Although you can wear a wig to cover yourself up, consider a 6x6 lace closure.

Human hair 6x6 closures gives you beautiful hair that looks natural while providing enough coverage of your crown and scalp, so no one has to know your secret struggle with hair loss.

How Is a 6*6 Lace Closure Great for Hair Loss?

If you’re battling with hair that’s becoming thin or patchy, choosing a lace closure is a good idea.

It’s gentle on your skin while giving you natural-looking hair that makes you feel good. Hey, you deserve to look your best! Here’s why a 6x6 lace closure is a fab idea.

It Hides Your Crown (and Makes You Wear a Crown)

Quick biology lesson: your hair crown area is the highest point of your scalp, towards the back of your head. It’s usually a hotspot for hair thinning, so you want to cover it up with a lace closure.

A 6x6 closure covers more of your hair than a smaller 5x5 closure and will keep your entire crown area under wraps. Phew! The closure’s hair will look like it’s growing out of your crown and fool everyone into thinking it’s your natural hair.

To get flowing locks, choose a 6*6 closure made with authentic human hair, like those by Private Label. These can easily be styled without losing their quality.

It Avoids Hairline Faux Pas

An unnatural hairline is one of the dead giveaways that you’re wearing a closure or hairpiece.

Sorry, we went there! Since a 6x6 closure is a bit larger than a 5x5 and 4x4 lace closures, it covers more of your hairline and gives you a more realistic hair parting.

Private Label offers 6x6 lace closures made with HD lace that’s undetectable, so you won’t have to worry that it looks out of place or doesn’t blend in with your skin. This also means the closure isn’t stressful to install.

It Makes You Whip Your Hair in Any Direction

The larger size of a 6 by 6 closure means you can part your hair in various ways, such as a side, deep side, or central parting, giving you more styling options no matter what’s happening with your natural hair.

You also won’t have to worry that wearing different hairstyles will expose any thinning spots on your hair. As a bonus, the deep parting of a 6x6 closure mimics your natural hair growth.

It’s a Protective Style

Now, you might be wondering, “Do closures damage hair?”

When you wear a 6x6 closure, you’ll be protecting your natural hair that’s weak or thinning. You won’t expose your natural hair to harmful factors such as pollution, UV rays, or heat-styling tools that make hair even more brittle.

Wearing a 6x6 lace closure will allow your natural hair to heal and recover. Think of it as self-care for your hair!

It’s All About Seamless Blending

By choosing a 6x6 lace closure that blends well with your hair color and texture, you can wear it daily without feeling like it doesn’t quite match - no one wants that!

Private Label has 6x6 closures in various textures, such as deep wave, loose wave, body wave, Afro kinky, and silky straight closures styles.

Since they’re made with natural human hair, you can color-treat them to match your natural hair color perfectly. Alternatively, you can choose a bold color you’ve wanted but couldn’t achieve because you didn’t want to use harsh chemicals on your natural hair.

It Boosts Your Confidence with Thick Tresses

Hairpieces for hair thinning aren’t just about helping you look good on the outside but also about feeling good and having more confidence.

Instead of feeling self-conscious about your thinning crown, you can wear long, beautiful, thick hair that looks sprouting out of your scalp. It’s so empowering!

Installing a 6x6 closure will increase your hair density, mainly when you use luxurious hair bundles. Private Label offers 6x6 lace closures in 16-inch or 18-inch lengths to give you flowing locks and tresses that always look on point.

If you want to know how to choose the closure length, follow this tip:

Match the size to your natural hair. For example, a 16-inch-long closure looks best with short to medium-length hair, while an 18-inch-long closure looks most natural with medium to long hair.

Depending on your hairstyle goals, you can choose a hair density that looks more like your natural hair or a higher one that gives you a fuller head.

Go on and experiment!

It Offers Scalp SOS

6x6 lace closures are becoming popular because they’re seen as an exciting alternative to lace frontals. This is because, with less lace, you require much less glue or adhesives. For people with thinning hair, this means a 6x6 is much friendlier to your scalp.

The HD lace closures in Private Label’s 6x6 closures is also breathable. Since it’s larger than a 4x4 or 5x5 closure, you’ll achieve more airflow to your natural hair and scalp so that you won’t experience tugging or irritation.

What About a 7x7 Lace Closure for Hair Thinning?

A 7x7 lace closure gives you an extra inch of coverage across the front and back compared to a 6x6 lace closure. This closure size is ideal for thicker styles because it gives you more coverage of your crown and scalp than more minor closures.

Just like with their 6x6 lace closures, Private Label has 7x7 closures in various hair textures, such as body wave, straight, deep wave, and Afro kinky closure styles.

Giving you the ability to create different hair partings and styles, a 7x7 closure is large enough so you don’t have to see the wig’s tracks or edges. In this way, the hairpiece is ideal if you like to change your hairstyle regularly.

Ultimately, both 6x6 and 7x7 closures are more significant, so they evenly distribute the weight of the hair over a larger area, decreasing the tension to your scalp and natural hair.
