Lace Frontal

APOHAIR manufactures lace frontals featuring hand-tied construction spanning ear-to-ear coverage, measuring 13×4 or 13×6 inches (33×10 cm or 33×15 cm). These pieces create natural hairlines across the entire front perimeter, crafted from 100% Vietnamese virgin hair maintaining cuticle alignment for tangle-free performance. Our frontals provide the complete hairline versatility your clients demand while delivering cost efficiency compared to full lace wig alternatives.

With over 20 years of manufacturing excellence, we supply lace frontals to salons and distributors across 50+ countries worldwide. Our wholesale pricing starts from accessible minimums of 200 grams, supporting businesses at every operational scale and market positioning strategy.

What are Lace Frontals?

A lace frontal is a hairpiece with a lace base that extends from ear to ear, designed to replicate the natural hairline. Each strand is individually hand-tied onto fine Swiss or French lace, allowing the hair to flow naturally and blend seamlessly with the scalp. Typically measuring 13 inches wide and 4–6 inches deep, frontals can be installed using adhesive, tape, or elastic bands for flexible, comfortable wear.

Salons use lace frontals to complete weave installations or combine them with hair bundles to create full wigs with added volume, length, and texture. The ear-to-ear coverage creates a natural-looking hairline that allows for versatile styling—sleek ponytails, deep side parts, or effortless middle parts—without exposing tracks or wefts. Frontals are ideal for clients with thinning or fragile hairlines, offering both beauty and protective styling benefits.

Lace frontals have become one of the fastest-growing segments in the global hair extension market, with nearly 30% annual growth in recent years. This surge reflects increased awareness of protective haircare and social media trends promoting natural, camera-ready looks. With superior styling versatility, comfort, and realism, lace frontals are now a premium choice for stylists and clients seeking natural results that boost confidence and elevate appearance.

Pros and Cons of Lace Frontals

Lace frontals offer 7 key advantages for your salon or retail business. These benefits boost customer satisfaction, encourage repeat purchases, and generate referrals—all of which strengthen profitability and expand your market share over time.

• Complete Hairline Coverage: Ear-to-ear construction creates a natural hairline across the entire front, eliminating visible lines and offering styling options closures can’t match.
• Maximum Styling Flexibility: Full frontal coverage enables high ponytails, slicked-back looks, deep side parts, and updos—without revealing weft lines or attachment points.
• Protective Styling Excellence: Eliminates the need for leave-out natural hair at the hairline, offering complete protection from heat and environmental damage while supporting healthy growth.
• Professional Service Revenue: Complex installation requires professional expertise, creating recurring revenue through application, maintenance, and reinstallation services.
• Camera-Ready Aesthetics: Hand-tied construction mimics realistic hair growth patterns that photograph beautifully in any lighting—perfect for social media-conscious clients and content creators.
• Versatile Parting Options: The 13-inch width supports center parts, side parts, and creative parting patterns anywhere across the frontal area without visible construction.
• Long-Term Investment Value: Quality frontals last 3–6 months with proper care, justifying premium pricing and building customer loyalty through proven value.

However, frontals require skilled installation and careful adhesive application for seamless blending. This includes knot bleaching, hairline plucking, and lace tinting. The delicate lace needs gentle handling—improper adhesive or tension can cause damage. Professional installation takes 90–120 minutes, longer than closures. The larger lace area demands more customization and maintenance than closures, but this is balanced by superior styling versatility and aesthetic results.

Who Should Use Lace Frontals?

Specific customer demographics drive consistent demand for lace frontal inventory in hair extension businesses and salon service offerings. Identifying these 5 segments helps optimize stock selection, marketing resource allocation, and customer service training for maximum conversion rates and satisfaction metrics.

• Protective Style Enthusiasts: People committed to natural hair health need complete hairline coverage that eliminates leave-out sections. This prevents heat damage and chemical processing on delicate hairline areas while maintaining a fashionable look.
• High Ponytail Seekers: Clients who love versatile updo styling need frontal coverage that allows hair to be pulled back without revealing tracks, wefts, or attachment points.
• Professional Performers: Entertainers, actresses, and content creators need camera-ready hairlines that photograph well under stage lighting and close-up shots—justifying the premium investment for reliable results during performances and recordings.
• Natural Hairline Demanders: Customers who refuse to compromise on realistic appearance invest in hand-tied frontals that simulate natural hair growth patterns, meeting high aesthetic standards for social and professional settings.
• Edge Protection Advocates: People experiencing hairline thinning or edge damage from previous styling need frontals that provide complete coverage while allowing natural hairline recovery—without daily manipulation or styling stress.

Wholesale Lace Frontal Product Range

We offer seven lace frontal variations: 13×4, 13×6, Straight Texture, Body Wave, Deep Wave, Kinky Straight, and Kinky Curly. Each meets different market needs, installation methods, and aesthetic preferences while maintaining APOHAIR’s quality standards. All types feature unique construction, size specifications, and styling versatility for professional salon use and business success.

13×4 Lace Frontals

13×4 lace frontals measure 33 cm x 10 cm (13 inches x 4 inches), representing the standard size for traditional weave installations and budget-conscious customers seeking natural hairline coverage. These pieces feature hand-tied Vietnamese virgin hair on Swiss or French lace foundations, with pre-plucked hairlines and baby hairs reducing customization time during professional installation. The 4-inch depth accommodates center parting or side styles within the front coverage area, providing sufficient versatility for standard protective styling applications and everyday wear scenarios.

This classic size appeals to businesses serving price-sensitive customers seeking natural appearance at accessible price points without compromising quality standards. The smaller depth reduces manufacturing costs by 15%-20% compared to 13×6 alternatives, allowing competitive retail pricing while maintaining healthy profit margins that support business success and inventory turnover rates.

13×6 Lace Frontals

13×6 lace frontals measure 33 cm x 15 cm (13 inches x 6 inches), offering extended parting versatility compared to 13×4 alternatives without reaching full lace wig pricing levels. This premium size accommodates deeper side parts, creative parting patterns, and more extensive styling options including braided styles and intricate updos. Vietnamese virgin hair is hand-tied using single knots along the hairline perimeter and double knots throughout the interior, balancing natural appearance with construction durability for extended wear periods.

Fashion-forward salons stock 13×6 frontals for clients who regularly change parting positions and styling aesthetics for various occasions. The depth increase justifies 15%-25% premium pricing over 13×4 alternatives while delivering enhanced value perception that strengthens customer loyalty and reduces price sensitivity during repeat purchases and referral generation.

Straight Texture Lace Frontals

Straight texture frontals feature Vietnamese virgin hair in naturally straight patterns, offering sleek aesthetic appeal and maximum styling versatility across heat manipulation techniques and temporary curl creation. The smooth cuticle alignment reflects light uniformly, creating glossy appearance that signals quality to discerning customers. Straight frontals accept temporary curls from heat tools while returning to natural state after washing, accommodating varied styling preferences without requiring multiple inventory pieces per client.

Professional environments and corporate settings drive consistent demand for straight texture inventory throughout calendar years. Businesses serving career-oriented demographics benefit from stocking straight frontals in both 13×4 and 13×6 depths, positioning these pieces as reliable staples that generate predictable sales volumes and support inventory planning with minimal risk of dead stock accumulation.

Body Wave Lace Frontals

Body wave frontals showcase gentle S-pattern waves providing romantic, voluminous appearance without excessive maintenance requirements or styling complexity for clients. Vietnamese virgin hair undergoes steam processing creating permanent wave patterns that withstand washing cycles and heat styling manipulation. The forgiving texture blends easily with various natural hair patterns, disguising minor installation imperfections better than bone-straight alternatives while reducing service time and increasing appointment efficiency for salon operations.

Salons appreciate body wave inventory for versatility serving diverse customer preferences and seasonal demand fluctuations throughout the year. The texture appeals to clients seeking fuller appearance without dramatic curl definition, occupying the sweet spot between straight and deeply textured options that maximizes market reach and inventory turnover rates while maintaining premium positioning.

Deep Wave Lace Frontals

Deep wave frontals display pronounced spiral patterns creating dramatic volume and textural interest that photographs exceptionally well for social media platforms and special event applications. Malaysian virgin hair provides optimal strand thickness and natural curl memory for maintaining defined wave patterns through multiple wash cycles without requiring extensive restyling. The bold texture appeals to fashion-forward customers seeking statement-making aesthetics for performances, photoshoots, or content creation that generates organic marketing through client posts and social sharing.

Premium salons targeting trend-conscious demographics benefit from stocking deep wave inventory as signature offerings commanding higher price points. The dramatic texture generates increased per-unit profits while attracting clientele who prioritize current fashion aesthetics over classic conservative styling approaches, strengthening brand positioning in competitive markets.

Kinky Straight Lace Frontals

Kinky straight frontals feature textured straight patterns mimicking relaxed or naturally straightened African hair types, using Vietnamese virgin hair treated through specialized processing techniques. This texture creates subtle bends and kinks throughout each strand, blending seamlessly with natural Type 3B-4A hair patterns common among African American and multicultural demographics. The hand-tied construction replicates coarser hair density typical of these textures, maintaining authentic appearance that satisfies customers seeking culturally relevant aesthetic options and textural matching.

This category addresses specific market demand from businesses serving diverse communities where standard straight textures appear unnatural against kinky or coily hair types. The texture-matched blending capability reduces installation time, improves customer confidence in styling results, and strengthens brand reputation within underserved market segments demonstrating strong loyalty to suppliers understanding their specific cultural needs and aesthetic preferences.

Kinky Curly Lace Frontals

Kinky curly frontals showcase tight coil patterns replicating natural Type 4A-4C hair textures, crafted from Vietnamese or Cambodian virgin hair maintaining natural curl definition and spring characteristics. The three-dimensional spiral structure creates maximum volume and textural authenticity that blends invisibly with natural afro-textured hair. Hand-tying techniques accommodate the expanded volume that tight curl patterns naturally create, requiring specialized skills and extended production time that justify premium pricing structures and market positioning.

Businesses serving predominantly African American markets position kinky curly frontals as specialty offerings addressing specific textural matching requirements and cultural styling preferences. The authentic curl pattern eliminates blending challenges that straight or loosely waved alternatives create, reducing installation time and customer dissatisfaction while commanding premium pricing that reflects specialized manufacturing complexity and limited supplier availability in quality grades.
