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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGloss That Lands Right on the Part\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nStraight 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Real Part on the Tidiest Square\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFive by five is the compact end of the range, the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/locksofhair.com\/blogs\/hair-education\/the-best-lace-closures-for-natural-looking-hair\"\u003eclosure that gives you a true parting\u003c\/a\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSewn Over Cornrowed Tracks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBraid 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRe-Part It Every Morning\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne Pigment, One Clean Lift\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Contained Base Shares the Load\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBecause 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFour Lengths, Match the Movement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ctable class=\"specs-table\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"spec-header\"\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"spec-header\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eHair Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003e100% Virgin Human Hair\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eTexture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003eStraight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003eNatural Black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eColoring Capability\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003eCan be lifted to Honey Blonde\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eLace Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003e5x5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eLace Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003eTransparent Lace\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003ePart\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003eVersatile parting options\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eHeat Friendly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003eCan be curled or straightened\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003e14\", 16\", 18\", 20\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eRecommended Use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003eSew-ins and custom wig construction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eStyling Benefit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003eProtective styling option that minimizes leave-out\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNowhere for the Part to Hide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurl and wave give the eye a hundred little places to land, so a busy surface forgives a lot. Straight forgives nothing. It runs the light in a clean line right down to the parting, and that means the part is the first thing a room clocks and the last thing you can fake. So the mesh under it has to do real work. Clear lace was built for exactly this job: it holds no dye and quietly borrows whatever the #1B scalp puts under it, sinking into the part rather than riding on top. Above it, the sleek drop moves in one piece with no seam interrupting the fall, whether you're wearing it split down the centre or pushed to a side. That polished, unbroken swing is the whole reason a woman goes straight in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Compact Square, Two Jobs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne little five-inch panel finishes two very different builds.

Set into a cap instead, the same square becomes the parting top of a hand-built unit, with the body sewn in around it. Either way the panel is the part and the bundles are everything below, so run it with straight #1B wefts and the join stops being findable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Locks of Hair","offers":[{"title":"14\"","offer_id":45565171138620,"sku":"BRAZ-TRANS-CLO-ST-5x5-14","price":95.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16\"","offer_id":45565171171388,"sku":"BRAZ-TRANS-CLO-ST-5x5-16","price":102.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\"","offer_id":45565171204156,"sku":"BRAZ-TRANS-CLO-ST-5x5-18","price":112.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20\"","offer_id":45565171236924,"sku":"BRAZ-TRANS-CLO-ST-5x5-20","price":123.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0629\/2294\/8668\/files\/hair-extensions-straight-5x5-transparent-lace-closure-natural-black-1b-0.jpg?v=1783781553","url":"https:\/\/locksofhair.com\/products\/hair-extensions-straight-5x5-transparent-lace-closure-natural-black-1b","provider":"Locks of Hair","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
