Welcome to The Wig Edit: Series 1
Let’s be real, jumping into the wig world can feel like decoding a secret language. Glueless? Closure? HD lace? Is there a glossary we missed? Don’t worry, we got you.
At EBL Hair, we believe confidence shouldn't come with a manual. That’s why we’re breaking down the basics in plain language (with a little style and side-eye), so you can shop smarter and slay harder.
In Series 1, we’re starting where it matters most: understanding the basics.
Let’s decode glueless wigs, closures, frontals, and more, so you can shop and slay with zero hesitation.
Glueless Wigs: Effortless Style, No Glue. No Drama.
Glueless wigs are exactly what they sound like: wigs that don’t need glue to stay put. Yes, you read that right, no sticky mess, no salon meltdowns, no "I-just-bought-a-lace-wig-and-now-I-live-in-fear" energy.
But here’s where it gets even better: when you shop with EBL, glueless doesn’t mean generic. You can customise everything, from your parting style to lace prep, so it’s not just glueless, it’s effortless, your way.
What You Can Customise:
- Custom vs. Standard Glueless: Opt for standard for a quick fit, or select custom for a wig tailored to your unique measurements.
- Parting Style: Middle, left, or right, you decide the vibe.
- Lace Options: We’ll cut the lace for you (yes, really), or leave it untouched if you like doing it yourself.
- Measurement Input: Want a flawless fit? You can add your ear-to-ear and temple measurements right at checkout.
Why You’ll Love It:
- Beginner-friendly: No salon degree required. Just you, a mirror, and a little confidence.
- Time-saving: Slap it on. Slay. Repeat.
- Skin-friendly: Because nobody has time for rashes or regrets.
- Tailored fit: Because “one size fits all” is so last season
Closures vs. Frontals: It’s Not Complicated (But Everyone Acts Like It Is)
This debate is right up there with “pineapple on pizza.” Controversial? Maybe. Confusing? Definitely not, once you break it down. Both closures and frontals are lace pieces designed to give you that chef’s kiss natural hairline. But they play different roles.
Closures: These are your chill, low-maintenance besties. Usually around 2x6 – 6x6 sizes, closures sit at the crown or side and give you a clean, simple part. Great for everyday glam without the daily drama.
Translation: You’re not waking up early to fight lace.
Frontals: These are the full-glam, big-energy icons. Larger (typically 13x4 – 13x6 sizes), frontals go from ear to ear, giving you room for side parts, slicked-back looks, and high ponytails, basically, Beyoncé-at-Coachella options on a regular Tuesday.
If you love to switch it up, this one's your main character moment.
So, Which One’s Your Vibe?
- Closure: You want clean looks, fast installs, and minimum lace stress.
- Frontal: You want range. You like options. You change your mind (and your part) a lot.

Lace Breakdown: HD vs. Swiss (Short Answer? It’s the Lace for Me.)
Let’s keep it cute and quick. HD lace is finer, softer, and melts into your skin like butter on warm toast. Swiss lace is a little thicker and more durable, but not as invisible. Both have their place, but if you’re going for “scalp goals,” HD is the winner.

Which Wig Fits Your Lifestyle? (Because This Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All)
Let’s be honest, you don’t need a wig that fits “everyone.” You need one that fits you, your schedule, your vibe, your level of “am I doing the most today?”
Here’s the cheat sheet:
Always on the go?
Go glueless. It’s fast, secure, and doesn’t require glue, prayers, or a YouTube tutorial marathon.
Love changing your look weekly (or daily)?
A frontal gives you freedom. You can part it wherever, wear it up, down, or messy bun realness.
Low-key glam with minimal fuss?
A closure is your match. Simple, stylish, and super beginner-friendly.
The best wig isn’t the most expensive, it’s the one that makes you say: “Wow, that was easy.”
