What is the purpose of a closure in weaving?

The purpose of a closure in weaving is to provide a natural-looking finish at the top of a weave. Closures are typically made of either lace or silk and are designed to mimic the look of the scalp, enabling a seamless transition between the natural hair and the extensions. This helps to conceal any tracks or visible wefts and creates the illusion of hair growing directly from the scalp, making the overall style look more realistic. By using a closure, the stylist can achieve a polished and professional finish that enhances the aesthetic appeal of the hairstyle. This is particularly important in weaving techniques where the goal is often to maintain a natural appearance while adding length and volume to the hair.
