Why Your Bob Wig Needs a Longer Closure/Frontal

When creating a wig, the closure or frontal is positioned at the top and front of the head, while the bundles are sewn or ventilated towards the back. Because of this placement, the frontal or closure sits higher than the rest of the hair, meaning it naturally appears shorter once installed, even if the lengths are the same.

This is especially noticeable with bob wigs, where precision and balance are everything.

To achieve that sleek, even finish that makes a bob look professionally cut, your closure or frontal should be at least 2 inches longer than your bundles. Here’s why:

• Balance and Symmetry: The added length compensates for the higher placement at the crown, ensuring the hair at the front aligns with the back once styled.
• Avoiding a Stacked Look: If your closure is the same length as your bundles, the front can end up looking noticeably shorter, creating an uneven or choppy appearance.
• Styling Freedom: A slightly longer closure or frontal gives your stylist more flexibility to layer, curl, or shape your bob to suit your face without losing length at the front.

For example, if your bob bundles are 12 inches, your closure or frontal should ideally be 14 inches.

• Bundles: Choose 2 to 3 bundles in your preferred bob length (usually 10 to 12 inches for a classic short bob).
• Closure or Frontal: Go 2 inches longer, for example, pair 10 inch bundles with a 12 inch closure, or 12 inch bundles with a 14 inch frontal.
• Cut and Shape: Always get your bob cut and styled while installed to ensure the hair falls evenly around your face and neck.

That small 2 inch difference can completely transform your look. Instead of a boxy or uneven shape, your bob will:

• Fall naturally and evenly around the head
• Have that sleek, polished salon finish
• Frame your face perfectly without gaps or awkward layering

It’s a small detail, but one that separates a nice bob from a flawless one.

When it comes to bobs, precision is everything. Always go for a closure or frontal that’s 2 inches longer than your bundles to achieve a clean, even, and professional finish.
