Stick around as we spill the tea regarding 13x6 lace frontals and why they are the ultimate game changer for a flawlessly blended and natural look.
Overview of 13x6 Lace Frontal
We love to describe 13x6 lace frontals as the big kahuna, and with good reason!
This type of lace frontal covers the entire hairline from ear to ear, but that’s not the best part.
While styling 13x6 lace frontal, there’s enough parking space for any desired styling option. Want to know more? Let’s break it down for you.
Lace Frontal Design
A 13x6 lace frontal gives the illusion of hair growing right from your scalp. Attached to a super thin, almost invisible lace is hair (could be synthetic or human hair) intricately knotted strand by strand to lace to give a realistic, scalp-like appearance.
You may wonder why it is called a 13*6 lace frontal - the answer is simple. The 13 stands for the width of the lace when placed from ear to ear. This width offers plenty of space to style your hair anyhow you desire.
The 6, on the other hand, refers to how deep the lace is at the front of your head.
Lace Material
Ever gotten those cute little fruit bags from the grocery store? A lace frontal looks the same way, but with lace frontals, the lace is super thin, almost invisible, and stronger. It is designed to mimic and blend seamlessly with your natural scalp.
Most 13x6 lace frontals are made with Swiss lace, the most popular and most recognizable option for lace front wigs since they mimic the natural hairline.
However, a 13x6 lace frontal, such as the Private Label label range of lace frontals, comes with HD Lace Frontal, which offers the most realistic and near-invisible appearance between the wearer’s scalp and lace. Other types of lace used for 13x6 frontals include the French or Transparent Lace Frontal.
Comparison with 13x4 and 360 Lace Frontals
The 13x6 lace frontal has an extra two inches of parting space compared to the 13x4 lace frontal. If you need versatility with styling, a 13 by 6 frontal works best, but if you need a more secure, tight fit, a 13x4 lace frontal is a good option.
A 360 lace frontal goes around your head, unlike the 13x6 lace frontal, which goes from ear to ear. While a 360 lace frontal offers the ultimate range for styling, a 13x6 frontal is easier to install and maintain.

Advantages of Using a 13X6 Lace Frontal
Now that you’ve gotten the basics of a 13x6 lace frontal and how it works, let’s get into the real reason you are reading this blog post - the advantages of using a 13x6 lace frontal and why it is a must-have.
Natural Hairline
The most significant advantage of using a 13x6 lace frontal is that it gives the illusion of a flawless and incredibly blended hairline. For instance, with the Private Label 13x6 HD lace frontals, each strand of hair is made with virgin hair to give a lifelike appearance.
So whether you want a sleek ponytail, middle part, or side part, you can achieve that. The 6-inch lace depth enhances your look and leaves people straining to find your ‘natural’ hair.
Versatility in Styling
Unlike 5x5 closures, the 13x6 lace frontal allows you to safely say bye-bye to bland styling. It offers versatility, and you can rock almost any hairdo without hassle.
Whether you want to switch from a middle to a side part or transition from a sleek ponytail to even cornrows, a 13x6 lace frontal has you covered!
Comfort and Breathability
A high-quality lace frontal like the Private Label 13x6 HD lace frontals are made with super-thin, lightweight laces that provide a snug fit and allow your scalp to breathe and be comfortable without itching to take your 13x6 lace frontal wig off.
These breathable laces are also perfect for people with sensitive scalps prone to irritation.
Durability of a 13x6 Frontal
Don’t be deceived by the super thin texture of the 13x6 lace frontals! Those laces are there to stay for a long time! Made with either Swiss, French, HD, or Transparent laces, they are designed to last long and withstand excessive styling, wear, or tear.
A 13x6 lace frontal is also constructed in a way that reduces shedding since the hairs are firmly attached to the lace.
Customization and Tinting Option
Another beauty of using the 13x6 lace frontal is that you can customize and tint your lace to whatever unique style you want.
You can tint your lace with the Private Label range of lace tints to match your skin tone or customize your lace frontal by creating bangs or even layers for some razzle-dazzle effect.

Frequently Asked Frontal Questions
Let’s answer some of the most asked questions about using a 13x6 lace frontal.
13x6 VS 13X4 lace frontal, which is better?
Both 13x6 and 13x4 lace frontals are excellent options, especially if you want a minimum-effort frontal and save some cash.
However, 13x6 lace frontals offer more versatility when styling and more coverage, especially if you’ve got thick hair. Still, a 13x4 lace frontal works well, especially for beginners, but limited styling options exist.
What’s the difference between 5x5 closure and 13x6 lace frontal?
A 5x5 lace closure is a beginner-friendly option that only covers the center of your hairline, from temple to temple. 13x6 lace frontals, on the other hand, cover the entire hairline from ear to ear.
Is a 13x6 HD lace frontal worth buying?
A 13x6 HD lace frontal is worth buying because HD lace is like the Beyonce of lace materials. It is fragile and almost invisible when placed on the scalp. If you prioritize a flawless, well-blended, and natural look, a 13x6 HD lace frontal is a worthy investment!
