Whether you require a frontal or closure with bundles is based on your preferred look, styling habit, and budget. Bundles are wefts of hair that are used to provide volume and length, usually installed through sew-in, glueless technologies, or fusion. Bundles don't, however, cover the whole scalp, which is where frontals and closures take over they give a natural-looking edge at the hairline and parting section.

Closure refers to a thin piece of lace or silk laid at the crown or front portion to give a natural scalp look, often creating a 4x4 or 5x5 parting area. It's best suited for individuals who desire a middle or side part and like having little coverage. A frontal, however, measures from ear to ear (usually 13x4 inches) and extends across the entire front hairline, where there can be greater style versatility, such as deep side parts or ponytails off the forehead.

If you want a low-maintenance, affordable option that can still pass as natural, a closure may be all you need. It gives sufficient coverage for most styles without being installed full-frontally. But if you want greater styling versatility such as being able to pull your hair back without showing tracks a frontal gives you fluid integration and closer to a personalized appearance.

Though bundles provide volume and length, adding a frontal or closure adds realism and rounds out the style. Your decision should be based on how you intend to wear your hair, what your budget is, and what level of maintenance you are willing to devote. For a full, natural, high-fashion look, most stylists suggest combining bundles with a frontal. For more basic styles or shorter installs, a closure may be all you need.​
