13x4 Lace Frontal FAQs

1. What is a 13*4 Lace Frontal?

The frontal is a type of hairpiece that makes the base for a lace front wig or for the hairline portion of a sew-in. It's designed in two dimensions, among which 13x4 lace frontals are the most popular.

The 13x4 refers to the frontal's dimensions, i.e., 13 inches in length extending from one ear to another and 4 inches in width extending 4 inches from the hairline towards the back of your head once installed.

Lace frontals come in many different textures including body wave, straight, loose wave, deep wave, kinky curly, kinky straight, and many more. I feel like I can go on forever when talking about the textures available for frontals these days.

The length of the human hair on the frontals usually starts around 12" and up to 22" in length.

2. What is the difference between closure and frontal?

Both types of hair pieces provide a flawless base for wig installation or to finish off a sew-in hairstyle. However, there are pros and cons to both.

The lace frontal provides a larger coverage area, more styling versatility, perfectly mimics the natural hairline and is more expensive when compared to a closure.

Lace closures are smaller, have less styling versatility, and are less expensive.

Please contact the Private Label hair team if you need help figuring out which one would be better for your next hair extension or wig journey!

3. How is the 13x4 lace frontal different from other lace frontals?

The lace frontals vary in the length of the parting area they provide. The 13x4 lace frontal provides less parting area, i.e., 4 inches, than the 13x6 lace frontal.

The 13x6 lace frontal has a 6-inch parting area, whereas the 360 lace frontal covers the entire head. They are readily available at Private Label Extensions.

Hair length and texture will also be items that are different based on the type of frontal you are looking for. Always match your frontal texture with your hair bundles!

4. How can a 13x4 lace frontal be the best choice for a user?

The 13x4 frontal offers great styling variety with four inches parting space. It provides a realistic and natural look and blends well with the same textured bundles. 

You can easily customize 13x4 lace frontal with different styles, colors, cuts, and dimensions. 

If you are looking for ear to ear lace and plenty of of styling options, a 13x4 lace is right for you!

5. How does a 13x4 lace frontal offer style versatility?

Yes, frontals are popular because of their versatility! 

The styling versatility of the 13x4 lace frontal is due to its parting area, which allows for middle and side parting as well as half-up and half-down hairstyles.

There are so many styling options and textures available for lace frontals. 

6. How can 13x4 lace frontals be customized for a natural look?

The main ways for 13x4 lace frontal are:

Bleaching the knots to lighten their color, thus making them less visible and blending 13x4 frontals with the hairline.

Tweezing the hairline to match your hairline so that the frontal hair appears to grow out of your scalp. 

Melting the lace to your scalp with lace glue or tape adhesive.

7. Can we dye or bleach the 13x4 lace frontal?

The 13x4 lace frontals at Private Label are made of 100% human hair so they can be dyed or bleached just your natural hair.

Raw hair frontals will have better coloring results when compared to Virgin Hair. 

It's essential to follow proper procedures to avoid damage. Ask for a professional consultation if you are a beginner.

Pro Tip: Don't get the color on the lace!

8. What are the main advantages of lace frontal?

Oh, why do we love lace frontals? Let me count the ways!

Hairstylists love working with 13x4 lace frontals due to their seamless blending with human hair bundles and giving a realistic look.

No other lace product creates a better hairline when properly installed.

They provide the best styling and customization versatility and are easy to wear. 

The lifespan of a frontal can be months as long as they are properly taken care of when wearing, removing, and cleaning. 

9. What are the quick tips for lace frontal maintenance?

We have plenty of tips for maintaining the 13x4 lace frontal.

Always use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. 

Now that you have washed your frontal and it's time to drive make sure you are air drying it or gently patting it with a towel.

Make sure you limit your heat styling and use a heat protectant spray when applying heat. And pray to Jesus that you don't touch the lace of the frontal with a curling iron or hair straightener. Lace is delicate and should be treated as such.

Wrap your hair in a bonnet or wear an edge scarf at night to overcome friction when sleeping. 

Following these tips will ensure the longevity of your frontal!

10. How do you know what size lace front to get?

You have two options to choose from when purchasing a lace frontal.

The frontal lace size selection depends on your coverage demands and how deep of a part you need.

No need to measure the head from ear to ear as all the frontals have a width of thirteen inces. The length will either be 4" towards the back of your head or 6" because the standard sizes are 13x4 and 13x6.

The 13x6 is the best choice but is also more expensive!

11. How do I choose the density for a 13x4 lace frontal?

Density refers to the thickness of the hair on the front of the lace.

Private Label Extensions provides 13x4 lace front wigs and frontals in various densities.

Although, the density of the lace frontal is usually something you are not going to have an option for. 

You can choose the density of wigs to find the look you are going for.

For example, 130% density gives a lightweight natural look; 150% gives a fuller look, and 180% is for those who want a dramatic look.

Have a custom wig made with 220% density if you are doing a photoshoot or TV appearance. And if you are on TV can you please invite your friend Mikey to be on your show? Appreciate it!

12. What type of adhesive should I use for a 13x4 lace frontal?

Funny you should ask. It's like you knew we have the best holding lace glue here at Private Label. 

If you are wearing a Lace frontal you will always want a firm hold. The last thing we need is that lace flapping in the wind. 

To get that dependable hold you can trust, apply lace glue like the ones available at Private Label. This will be helpful for a more extended period.

Use Got2b spray or adhesive tape for a temporary hold, which can easily be applied or removed.

The stronger the hold, the more comfortable you will be the next time you wear that frontal lace!

13. How do I prevent shedding in a 13x4 lace frontal?

Geez. Shedding is the worst! Especially when you start getting bald spots on your frontal.

The reality is that its bound to happen over time but our goal is to minimize the shedding so your frontal lasts longer. 

Here are a few tips to set you up for success and reduce that frontal shedding we all love to hate!

First, use a wide-tooth comb or brush designed explicitly for detangling wigs. You do not want the comb to come in contact with the lace.

Remember, lace frontals are made with tiny knots from strands of hair. They are very delicate and easy to mess up!

Don't over-bleach the knots! This is an excellent way to quickly ruin your frontal with no return to normal.

Always use a heat protectant before heat application. And because your Private Label flat iron can heat up to 480 degrees does not mean that you need to use such high heat!

Never apply heat near the base of the hair. This is a quick way to put a hole right in that lace. 

Following these quick tips will set you up for frontal success!

14. What should I do if my 13*4 lace frontal starts to lift?

First, let us pray this never happens to you 🙏

Lifting occurs when the hold of the lace glue weakens between the lace and your skin.

This may be due to drying of adhesives or poor hygiene of the scalp.

Maybe you spent a hot day at Six Flags and your hair was whipping around? Or was it that you were on Splash Mountain and didn't duck when the water was coming your way?

Either way, the lace lift does sometimes happen!

Wear the lace frontal on a clean scalp. Our Skin Prep is a good product to apply to your skin before adding a lace glue. 

Apply adhesives like lace glue (we do have an extra hold version), lace tape, or sprays to secure the lifted area.

It is better to consult a professional to find a permanent solution.

You can try and reapply a glue along with a satin scarf to hold it down in place. This is for emergencies only. 

If the lift has gone too far we recommend taking the frontal off, cleaning the lace, and then install again for best results.

15. How long does a 13x4 lace frontal typically last with proper care?

Proper care will increase your frontals longevity and protects its texture and natural look.

The average lifespan for 13x4 lace frontal ranges from several months to a year depending on how often you wear it and the care of the lace. But proper care, like washing with sulfate-free products, gentle handling, and correct storage, is essential.

Otherwise, it will lose its softness, and hair will start to shed.

Proper care is key!

16. Are 13 by 4 lace frontals suitable for all hair types?
