Lace Science: HD vs. Transparent vs. Standard
Stop the confusion. “HD” is not just a marketing term—it’s a measurable difference in thickness and denier. Use this guide to stock the right lace for your target market.

B2B Stocking Strategy
Don’t overstock HD Lace unless you cater to high-end stylists. HD lace tears easily if the client is inexperienced. For general retail or glueless wig lines, Transparent Lace is the safest volume seller—it’s durable enough for beginners but thin enough to tint properly.
Ventilation Technology: The “Invisible” Knot
A closure is only as good as its knotting. We use a hybrid ventilation technique to balance hairline realism with structural durability.

Hybrid Ventilation Map
Single Knots (Hairline)
We use single-strand ventilation for the first 0.5 inches. This creates tiny, undetectable dots that mimic natural follicle growth, allowing for a “melted” look without plucking.
Double Knots (Crown)
Behind the hairline, we switch to double knots. This secures the hair firmly to the lace grid, reducing shedding during styling and extending the closure’s lifespan to 6+ months.
The “Light Bleach” Protocol
Over-bleached knots destroy the hair root, causing instant shedding. We use a controlled light bleach process that turns the black knot brown (skin tone blend) without compromising root integrity.
Density Architecture: The 130%-150% Rule
Thicker is not always better. A closure with uniform high density looks like a “helmet.” Our Gradual Density Protocol ensures a natural transition from hairline to crown.
Top View: Density Distribution
Front (Hairline)
Zone A: 90%
Zone B: 120%
Zone C: 150%
*Gradual increase creates the “Pre-Plucked” illusion straight out of the package.
Zone A: Hairline 90-100%
The first 0.5 inches mimic “baby hair” density. We use single knots here to prevent the harsh “wall of hair” effect common in cheap closures.
Zone B: Transition 120%
A specific buffer zone that blends the thin hairline into the main body. This prevents a visible line of demarcation between the forehead and the crown.
Zone C: Core 150%
The main body of the closure. High density is required here to ensure the weft tracks underneath are completely hidden, even when styled.
Why avoid “180% Density” Closures?
Super-thick closures require your customers to spend 45+ minutes “plucking” them to look real. Our graduated density is “Ready-to-Wear,” saving stylists time and increasing satisfaction.

QC & Inspection Checklist
Lace integrity and ventilation quality are critical. Use this checklist to reject closures with weak grids or unnatural hairlines before you pay.
Lace Closure Audit Protocol
Standard acceptance criteria for wholesale orders.
-
Lace Grid Tension Test Pull lace in 4 directions. Grid must remain uniform (square) without tearing.
-
The “Balding” Light Check Hold up to light. Reject if large gaps or empty spots exist in the crown.
-
Hairline Plucking Gradient Hairline must be visibly less dense than the crown (Gradual Transition).
-
Knot Bleach Verification Knots should be brown (processed) not black (raw) or orange (over-bleached).
-
Free Part Flexibility Hair must part freely in left/right/middle directions without resistance.
Why the “Grid Test” is Vital
Cheap lace deforms when stretched, turning square holes into ovals. This causes the closure to ripple (buckle) on the client’s head, making it impossible to glue down flat. Always test the elasticity of the lace before accepting a batch.
HD Lace Handling Warning
Start Inquiry with QC Checklist
If you are ordering HD Lace, do not perform the Tension Test too aggressively. True HD lace (0.14mm) is delicate by design. Check for tears under a magnifying glass instead of pulling hard.

Lace Closure Technical FAQ
Common questions regarding durability, lace tinting, and parting styles for wholesale buyers.
How long does an HD Lace Closure last?
Due to its ultra-thin structure (0.14mm), HD Lace is less durable than standard Transparent or Swiss lace. With daily wear, expect a lifespan of 2-4 months. It is designed for “occasional luxury” (weddings, shoots), not rugged daily use. Advise your clients accordingly.
Should I stock “Free Part” or “Middle Part” closures?
We highly recommend stocking 100% Free Part closures. A Free Part closure can be styled as a Middle or Side part by the stylist, reducing your SKU complexity. Fixed Middle Part closures limit your customer’s styling options.
Why is the hairline thinner than the rest of the closure?
This is our Gradual Density Protocol. A natural human hairline is not 150% dense; it starts thin (~90%) and thickens backward. We ventilate this way intentionally to save stylists time on “plucking.” It is not a defect; it is a premium feature.
What is a 2×6 “Kim K” Closure?
A 2×6 closure is narrow (2 inches wide) but deep (6 inches back). It is designed specifically for deep middle-part styles or sleek ponytails. It is more affordable than a 5×5 but lacks side-part versatility.
Can the lace be dyed/tinted?
Yes. Our Transparent and HD lace accepts lace tint sprays, makeup powder, or fabric dye baths readily. This allows for a perfect color match with any skin tone, from fair to dark chocolate.
