Okay, so you know that feeling when you finally nail your frontal install and the lace literally disappears? That's exactly what happened when I tried these Swiss lace frontals for the first time. I spent THREE HOURS customizing my first frontal back in 2019, plucking and bleaching knots until my fingers hurt. These? Girl, they come with that soft Swiss lace that blends so naturally, you're basically getting hours of your life back.

What Makes This Frontal Actually Worth It
Not gonna lie, I was skeptical about Vietnamese hair at first because everyone was pushing Brazilian. But this raw hair? Completely different level. Raw means it's never been chemically processed, so you're getting hair exactly as it grew. The ripple curly texture has this gorgeous S-pattern that doesn't look too perfect or too messy. It's that sweet spot where people ask if it's your real hair.
Here's what really sold me though. The Swiss lace on these frontals is that perfect balance of durability and invisibility. When I was in the salon, we'd always recommend Swiss lace for clients who wanted something that would last but still melt beautifully. This Swiss lace is soft enough to lay flat but strong enough to handle multiple installs. I've installed these on clients ranging from super fair to deep ebony complexions, and that Swiss lace just works.
The 13x4 size gives you real versatility too. You can do your middle part, side part, or even pull it all back into a ponytail without worrying about tracks showing. That's four inches of parting space from ear to ear. Remember when we all thought 13x2 was enough? This extra depth makes such a difference for creating natural-looking parts.
The Real Technical Details You Need
Here's what nobody tells you about raw Vietnamese hair. Since it's completely unprocessed, the cuticles are still intact and aligned in one direction. No tangling, no matting, just smooth hair that behaves like it should. This frontal can handle color processing if you want to go lighter. I've seen clients take it to honey blonde and the hair still maintained its pattern because raw hair is just that strong.
The ripple curly pattern bounces back with just water and a little product. For maintenance, I tell everyone the same thing: cowash once a week, deep condition every two weeks, and sleep with a satin scarf. Because this is raw hair with Swiss lace, you're looking at 6-8 months of wear with proper care, which for a frontal is actually impressive.
Girl, This Is Your Sign
If you've been on the fence about trying a frontal or upgrading from processed hair, this is it. Raw hair with Swiss lace is literally the combination that made everything click for so many of us. This frontal gives you the versatility to go from sleek and straight to big bouncy curls without compromising quality. Plus, with the Swiss lace construction, you're getting something that's going to blend beautifully and last through multiple installs. Trust me, once you experience how Swiss lace melts and how raw hair maintains its integrity, you'll understand why this combination is worth the investment.
The Curl Care Method That Actually Works
Let me put you on to the routine that keeps these curls popping. For refreshing, water-based leave-in conditioner or curl mousse is your best friend. Not oil-based products that weigh the curls down - we want bounce. Spray with water, apply a dime-size amount of mousse, scrunch upward. That's it. The ripple pattern comes right back to life.
Night protection for curly frontals is crucial. Either do the pineapple method (gather curls loosely on top of your head) or loosely braid it before covering with a satin bonnet. This prevents the curls from getting crushed and matted overnight. Wake up, shake it out, maybe spritz some water, and you're good.
For the lace, here's a lazy girl hack: lace tint spray. If bleaching knots sounds like too much commitment (I get it), match the spray to your scalp tone, spray the underside of the lace, let it dry. Instant scalp illusion without the risk of over-processing those delicate knots.
When co-washing, make sure you're using sulfate-free conditioner. Sulfates will strip these beautiful curls and make them frizzy. The raw hair responds so well to gentle, moisturizing products. Keep it simple, keep it sulfate-free.
Styling Freedom You Didn't Know You Needed
The versatility is what gets me. You can straighten this frontal for a completely different look, and the curls bounce right back when you wash it. That's the power of raw hair - it remembers its natural state. One install, multiple personalities.
Pair this with the Raw Vietnamese Ripple Curly bundles and the texture match is flawless. No blending needed, no trying to make different textures work together. Everything moves as one unit. Try that dramatic flip-over style everyone's doing - with 13x4 inches of lace, you've got the coverage. Or pull it all back into a high pony to show off those edges. The frontal lays so flat, nobody's questioning if it's yours.
