Then skip the leave-out and opt for a closure! It not only protects your precious locks but also gives the illusion that the hair is springing up from your own scalp. Seriously!
With lace closure, you may need to bleach the knots to create a more realistic appearance of the hair growing from your scalp.

Should I Bleach My Knots?
When hair is tied to a lace closure, there is a dark knot where each strand is secured. Bleaching or “lightening” these knots reduce their visibility and help make the hair appear as if it is growing from the scalp.
Bleaching the knots on your lace closure or frontal means that you are removing pigment from the knots that keep each individual hair secured to the lace. By bleaching the knots, you can give your lace a more seamless and natural look that resembles a real scalp.
So, you should bleach the knots on your lace closure piece.
What To Use To Bleach Knots On Lace Closure?
- Bleach;
- Developer (at the correct volume);
- Aluminum Foil;
- Coloring Brush;
- Mixing Bowl;
- Gloves;
- Your Closure/Frontal/Lace Wig;
Here are the steps you should take to bleach the knots on your lace closure or frontal.
How To Bleach Lace Closure?
Step 1: Turn either your frontal, closure or lace wig inside out and pin it down to a foam head. If you have closure with baby hairs, pin them down with clips to make sure they are out of the way.
Step 2: Scoop 1-2 scoops of lightning powder into your mixing bowl.
Step 3: Add less than an equal amount of the developer into the bowl and mix into a thick consistency. The consistency should be similar to thick cottage cheese or frosting.
Step 4: With your mixing brush, gently, dab the bleach onto the lace. Ensure you are bleaching all of the knots. Once you’re done applying the bleach, cover the lace closure in the aluminum foil.
Step 5: Make sure you keep the bleach on until the knots on the part closure 4*4 aren’t noticeable anymore. This is very important because you want to wait until your closure becomes blonde, or you will have a brassy lace closure.
Step 6: Rinse the lightener off of the lace closure with the lace facing downwards first to avoid getting bleach onto the hair. Continue rinsing until all of the bleach is off.
Step 7: Thoroughly wash and condition your ear-to-ear lace frontal, making certain you have rinsed out all of the lighteners.
Step 8: Let your weave hair closures air dry. If you're in a rush, you can blow dry, but it's best to let your hair air dry after a chemical process to avoid damage.
