A frontal refers to a hairpiece that has a strip of material running from ear to ear. It typically extends 13 inches across and goes about 5 inches back, creating a half-wig-like appearance.

A lace frontal is made using lace material to seamlessly blend with your natural skin and hairline. Lace and silk are the two most popular materials used for these hairpieces. The choice between lace and silk depends on the desired look you want to achieve, as both materials have different appearances when applied to the scalp. With a lace frontal, you can part your hair in almost any direction because the material gives the illusion of a natural scalp running along the entire hairline.
