Hair Extensions - Afro Kinky 6x6 HD Lace Closure - Natural Black (1B)

A Six-Inch Square Over the Crown
Six inches squared off across the top caps the whole crown, wide enough to swing the part to the middle or drop it toward one temple without ever showing base at the edge. That even square also spreads the weight across four sides, so the piece settles flat and doesn't drag toward one corner the way a long strip can.

Packed Dense Where We Run Thin
Type 4 grows in a tight coil, and this one is set into the base thick enough that no scalp peeks through the crown, which is exactly the fullness that reads as a real head of hair. You get a genuinely full crown right where a lot of us thin out first, instead of a sparse panel floated over the part.

A Whole Crown of Coil to Keep Fed
Here's the trade for capping the full crown: every strand of it wants water. The bend in a kink stops scalp oil from ever sliding down to the ends, so the coil dries out on its own and will mesh together if you leave it. Work leave-ins and curl cream through all six inches of it and the pattern keeps its softness and spring between washes instead of knotting up at the part.

Sewn Down Spaced and Never Sawed
It goes onto your cornrows with a heavy needle and a cotton-covered polyester thread, the cotton sheath guarding the hair while the core holds the length. Set the stitches down with room between each one and the track dries quicker after a wash and lifts out clean at takedown, no thread grinding through the strands.

Takes an Iron, Wants It Hotter
Because this is real virgin human hair, an iron stretches the coil into a blowout and water at the next wash brings the kink up. A packed coil this coarse asks for the plate set higher than fine hair does to move at all, so turn it up and give every pass a coat of heat protectant beforehand.

Nothing Left Out to Blend
Not a strand of yours has to stay out loose across the top, and skipping that leave-out is the reason a protective sew-in beats a blend job. Your edges braid flat and seal under the cap while this carries the crown for weeks on end.

Six Inches Is the Sweet Spot for Sheer
A parting field roomy enough to shift the part where you want it, but smaller than a 7x7 or a frontal, so there's simply less mesh to disappear in the first place. The fine gauge sinks that field into a deep 1B without the chalky haze a thicker base throws, the coarse packed coil sitting right over it. Notch the edge soft, leave a whisper of lace, and it goes.

Lift the Crown Even
This is raw hair, cuticle intact and the pigment still its own, so a lightener has a clean strand to work and climbs it in even stages with no blotching. Push the whole capped crown toward honey blonde to sit with dyed bundles, or leave it the shipped natural black in 16 or 18 inches.
