The Perfect Match: How to Blend 2″x6″ HD Lace Closures With Natural Hair

In the world of wigs, realism is king or queen. If a wig looks fake, it is worthless. That is why HD Lace Closure wigs have taken over much of the wig market. The amazing thing about HD Lace Closure wigs is that they can create a realistic hairline and pass as normal hair.

What To Know About 2×6 Hd Lac Closures

HD stands for high definition, and like with electronics, it means more definition and higher quality. The thin, breathable lace comes in many colors to match your scalp. Wigs’ closure styles are intended to go in the center and sides of your head, usually towards the front and heading to the middle. They are what create the realistic hairline.

The 2×6 refers to the size. This site is still pretty new; only some dealers have it available. The demand for this size of HD Lace Closure is outpacing its release, making it even more sought after. Two inches wide, it extends six inches towards the middle of your head.

This allows for an extended part and more styling options than other sizes of closures offer.

Why A 2×6 Hd Lace Closure Is The Right One For Blending With Your Natural Hair.

HD Lace is delicate; one complaint is the limitation of blending HD Lace closures with their hair. With this new 2×6 size, the ability to create simple and stunning hairstyles reduces the risk of damaging the HD Lace because you have your hair blended with it. You will also love the reduced hassle of maintaining the two-by-six sizes versus other closures.

You Are Blending Your 2×6 Hd Lace Closure With Your Skin And Hair.

Blending the 2×6 HD Lace Closure with your skin and hair begins with the hairline. We can only create the illusion of real hair growth by creating a realistic hairline. Here is how we do that:

Size matters when selecting your HD lace closure. The 2×6 offers a deeper hairline while leaving plenty of room on the sides for your hair to shine. Other sizes reach farther back and leave no room on the sides of your hair. This is why the 2×6 is so sought after.

Color is the next consideration when choosing the best 2×6 HD Lace Closure to increase realism. You want to find one as close to the color of your scalp as possible. Next, consider the color of the hair and how it will blend with yours.

Don’t worry if you need help finding the exact match for your hair. You can have your hair and the 2×6 HD Lace Closure colored to match each other at a salon. It is also possible to color your HD lace closure at home. Just follow the manufacturer’s instructions. But only stress a little if it is an exact match. All of us have subtle shades of many colors in our natural hair.

Your natural hairline will be visible on each side of the 2×6 HD Lace Closure, so you should pluck it a bit. The goal is to have the closure’s hairline match your hairline on either side as well as possible. Use a simple pair of tweezers, work slowly, and do not take out too many.

Blend The Lines Where The Hd Lace Closure And Your Natural Hair Meet.

The lines on the left and right of the closure will benefit from some simple blending. You can use your favorite makeup, foundation, or concealer. Get one that matches your scalp color.

Apply a line along both sides of the 2×6 HD Lace Closure, coloring the lace to match your scalp. You will need to move the hair to do so, but take it slow, and you should be fine. This will help your hair closure blend with your scalp. Do not get makeup on your hair or the 2×6 HD lace closure.

Use a soft and dry paper towel or napkin to remove any excess makeup. Some baby powder will help the makeup stay in place while you are active. Use a cotton swab or child’s Q-tip to apply the baby powder along the area where you applied the concealer.

Watch Out For Shine On New 2×6 Hd Lace Closure Wigs.

New HD lace closure wigs often arrive with a bright shine or almost wet look. This will not match your hair. Shampoo and condition the 2×6 HD lace closure with the same sulfate-free shampoo you use on your hair. This will help them match.

The Heated Blending Method For 2×6 Hd Lace Closures

This method is only sometimes used and is one of the best ways to blend your natural hair with your 2×6 HD lace closure wig. This will only work if you purchase a virgin human hair variety, not an artificial hair closure.

Before beginning, coat the 2×6 HD lace closure with a wig heat protectant for virgin hair. Then warm up your favorite styling wand or curler to medium, no higher. Then, use it to heat and blend your hair with the hair of the 2×6 HD lace closure.

What About Other Size Options For The Hd Lace Closure?

2×4 HD lace closure. It can be a decent option for some people, but it needs to go back farther to allow a full part.

4×4 HD lace closure works well for a square-shaped head if you do not want to blend it much with your hair.

5×5 HD lace closure has a larger coverage area and offers a deeper part. The broader sides limit the possibility of blending with your hair.

The 2×6 HD lace closure wig has a depth of six inches, allowing a deep part. The narrow sides reduce maintenance while expanding the ease of blending with your naturally growing hair. You can blend the hairline in the front to create the perfect illusion of natural hair growth.

With larger sizes, you can feel awkward where the HD lace closure sits. It is simply that the larger size is more evident to us as we go about our day. The smaller footprint offered by the 2×6 HD lace closure wig makes it easy to forget we are even wearing it.

Want To See The 2×6 Hd Lace Closure In Use?

The great thing about seeing something in person is that we can more easily understand what we are seeing. Online or in pictures, we can miss details, or colors will be different than when we are in natural lighting.

I enjoy cruising local wig showrooms in person. There are not as many reputable ones as I would like but I have found the Private Label showrooms worth visiting.
