Hair Extensions - Straight 5x5 Transparent Lace Closure - Natural Black (1B)

The Everyday Clear-Lace Grade
Transparent is the mesh you reach for when you don't want to fuss. It brings none of its own pigment to the party, so it drinks up whatever tone your scalp puts under it and settles in without a tea-stain or tint step first. On straight hair that clear base pulls its weight harder than it would under a curl, because a flat sleek fall lies open and shows the mesh with nothing to soften the sightline. No wave breaks up the edge, so the lace has to read as skin on its own, and clear does.

Gloss That Lands Right on the Part
Straight is the shiniest texture there is, and a five-inch square parks all that shine on the one strip everyone reads first. Run a finger up a strand and it slides clean from tip to root, and that smooth surface hands the light back in a single wash of gloss rather than scattering it. You get the wet-glass look straight out of the pack over a small leave-out, no serum coaxing it along, concentrated across the crown instead of thinning out over a broad base.

A Real Part on the Tidiest Square
Five by five is the compact end of the range, the closure that gives you a true parting without a wide open field to keep quiet. Set the line down the middle or swing it off to one side and the square holds it either way, capping the crown over a modest leave-out. Less mesh in view means less for a glance to snag on, so this one settles down and behaves with barely any coaxing.

Sewn Over Cornrowed Tracks
Braid your own hair flat, lay the wefts, and anchor the small square down over your tracks with a curved needle. The panel tops the whole thing off so the sewing never peeks through and only a sliver of your own hair sits outside the install, tucked in behind a clean part.

Re-Part It Every Morning
A five-inch base gives you elbow room to wear it centred one day and curled off a shoulder the next. Nothing you press or wand into it is permanent, so a rinse takes yesterday's bend right out and you start over with a fresh part and a fresh curl. Keep a protectant down before any heat and float the iron light where the strands tie into the mesh.

One Pigment, One Clean Lift
This black has never met a developer, so its natural colour sits whole and untouched with nothing pulling against a lightener. Take it up to a honey blonde and it rises in one even tone rather than blotching, and the protein inside holds onto both the new shade and the shine because it was never cracked open in the first place.

A Contained Base Shares the Load
Because a 5x5 is small and closed-in, the pull of a sew-in spreads over a tight square instead of hauling on one thin strip. No single spot at the part takes the whole strain, which is what keeps the little square sitting put through week after week of handling.

Four Lengths, Match the Movement
This one comes in a 14-inch, a 16, an 18, and a 20, so you can chase the drop you want and not just the reach to your wefts. Fourteen sits light and close and barely swings, twenty gives you the long heavy fall that shows the sleek grain off best and shifts its weight against the part as it moves through the day. Pick by how you want it to travel, then match it to the bundles underneath.
