Introduction
Have you ever had a wig that doesn't look natural? Like the part looked thin? Or the hairline was slightly off, and it screams out, “I am wearing a wig!” from miles away? It is so frustrating, especially after all the effort you put into it.
Most of the time, the problem is space. If your frontal isn't wide enough, you have little to no lace to work with. This is why most people choose a 13x6 lace frontal. It has more depth and gives you more space to part and style how you want, without it looking forced.
In this guide, we'll explain what a 13x6 lace frontal is, how it differs from other frontal sizes, which hairstyles it suits, and why it should be on your wish list.
So let's start!
What is a 13x6 Lace Frontal?
Think of it as a thin strip of lace with hair tied into it. The 13x6 lace frontal measures 13 inches across and 6 inches from front to back. So it reaches from ear to ear across your hairline.
The lace sits at the front of the wig like a natural hairline. What makes the 6 inches depth really important is that it gives you more freedom of styling than a 13x4 frontal.
It is available in clear lace and HD lace, and it can be used to make a custom wig or installed with hair bundles.
What Makes a 13x6 Frontal Different?
There’s not much difference, and most frontals basically look the same from the outside. But 13x6 frontals really shine when you actually start to style the hair.
Here is where the 13x6 stands out.
- Deeper Parts for a More Realistic Scalp Effect: The 6 inches of lace depth creates deeper parts, which gives the appearance that your hair is actually growing from your scalp. This makes styling way easier. With 13x6 frontals, you can have a middle part, or even a deep side part. So basically, the lace gives you plenty of space to style it however you want.
- Switch Between Middle, Side, and Curved Parts: The 13x6 frontal helps you to change your part without buying a new wig. This gives you the flexibility to style parts according to your preferences, including a sharp middle part, a deep side part, or a soft curved part.
- More Freedom to Experiment With Hairstyles: A larger lace area means more space to experiment with different styles. You can try something new with your look, like sleek straight hair, loose waves, a braid, or a pulled-back style. Your stylist can also get more creative with the hairline and your overall look.
- A Natural-Looking Hairline From Ear to Ear: The 13-inch width of this frontal gives it enough area to cover your entire temple and extend beyond the ear. When done properly, the lace can create a seamless transition between the wig and your skin. So, it improves the aesthetic and creates a natural look.
- Breathable Lace for Everyday Comfort: The lace is lightweight and breathable, meaning air is able to reach your scalp. A properly fitted wig and installation can reduce pulling on your head, and it feels comfortable. That’s why it is the best choice if you are going to wear a wig for long periods of time.
- More Styling Options From a Single Frontal: With a 13x6 frontal, you can achieve different styles with just one wig, whether you want a sleek middle part, side-swept waves, or a more textured style. It is also important to take care of your wig. Brushing it gently helps get rid of dust and dirt. Washing it keeps it smelling fresh. Store it in a safe place, and it'll last longer.
Hairstyles That Work Well With a 13x6 Frontal
A 13x6 lace frontal gives you a lot of flexibility with parts, textures, and updos. From big and wavy to sleek and straight or neatly braided, the right wig texture will give you the elegant look and keep your natural hairline. Here are a few styles to try:
1. Sleek Middle-Part Straight Hair
Sleek hair with a middle part is always in style. The smooth finish brings attention to your face. And the clean part adds a polished touch. A silky straight wig is a good pick for this look because the texture is sleek. The extra parting space also helps the middle part look natural.
2. Deep Side-Part Body Waves
Want volume and movement? Try deep side part body waves. Sweeping your hair to the side adds a soft, elegant shape and fullness. A body wave wig fits this style well. Make a deep side part, then gently brush the waves to hold the shape while taking advantage of the frontal's flexible parting space.
3. High Sleek Ponytail
A high sleek ponytail feels bold and confident. Pulling the hair up shows off your face, and this style is perfect for parties, nights out, and special occasions. A silky straight wig is good for achieving this smooth look. Before you style it, make sure the wig can support a high, pulled-back look. Then tie it up gently so the lace isn't pulled too tight.
4. Half-Up, Half-Down Ponytail
Not sure if you should wear your hair up or down? With this style, you don’t have to decide. Gather the hair at the top in a ponytail to create volume at the crown, and leave the rest of the hair down for a soft finish. Make it sleek for a more polished look or add curls for more movement. The frontal gives a natural finish to the hair in the front, and body wave or straight hair gives you the freedom to style it however you want.
5. Voluminous Deep Waves
For those who love a hairstyle that attracts attention, choose deep waves with plenty of volume. Deep waves have rich texture, and the wave pattern adds dimension from root to tip. A deep wave wig is ideal for creating this style. Deep waves can be paired with a side part for extra drama or a middle part to achieve a balanced look. Adding a little volume by separating the waves can really help the waves maintain their pattern.
6. High Messy Bun
Not every updo needs to be perfect. A messy bun shows that imperfection can be good. The loose finish gives it a relaxed look, while some strands on the face make it softer. For a quick and easy style, pull your hair up and secure it. To finish the style, pull a couple of strands out to frame the face. Body wave hair provides texture and volume. Please make sure that your wig will let you do updos comfortably before styling it back.
7. Cassie Braids
For a simple look with strong lines, like Cassie's iconic braided looks, try a frontal that is neat with braids and long, straight hair. A silky straight wig provides a smooth base to work with. The braids will stay sharp, and the rest of the style will be clean and put together.
