Lace & install
How to choose the right lace size
4 min read
Lace size is simply the size of the hand-tied area, measured in inches. The bigger it is, the more places you can part your hair — and the more install work it asks of you.
| Lace size | Type | Parting freedom |
|---|---|---|
| 4x4 | Closure | Middle or one fixed parting |
| 5x5 | Closure | A little more parting room |
| 6x6 | Closure | Wider partings, no full frontal work |
| 13x4 | Frontal | Free parting ear to ear — the popular choice |
| 13x6 | Frontal | Deep side parts and hair swept off the face |
Which one suits you?
- You always wear a middle part: 4x4 or 5x5 closure is plenty.
- You like switching your parting: 13x4 frontal.
- You want deep side parts and hair off the face: 13x6 frontal.
