Some girls’ leave out a portion of their hair during the install process, this is called blending. Closures eliminate this step while protecting your whole head from the natural elements of life. There is no need for extra straightening or curling, which adds unnecessary heat.
GIVES FREEDOM FOR PARTING.
More often than not women want different styles. This is a key factor in Closures. The ability to change your part any way you like is priceless. And just think you don’t have to worry about your natural hair.
There are tons of other reasons for Closures. My personal reason for using Closures is because I’m so indecisive.
