How to Install a 5x5 Lace Closure Like a Pro (No Stylist Needed)

Wigs and closures are no longer just beauty accessories—they're a lifestyle. And if you’ve just purchased a premium 5x5 lace closure from Qua Hair, you’re already halfway to slaying your look. But here’s the best part: you don’t need a stylist to achieve a salon-quality install.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to flawlessly install your 5x5 closure at home, using tools and products from our store. Whether you're a beginner or brushing up your technique, this is your no-fail routine for an undetectable melt.

Why Choose a 5x5 Lace Closure?

The 5x5 closure is loved for its versatility and ease. It gives you a natural middle or side part, blends seamlessly with your scalp, and offers just enough lace to play with—without the high maintenance of a full frontal.

At Qua Hair, our closures are made from 100% raw human hair, offering long-lasting quality and a luxurious finish. Explore our range of closures here.

What You’ll Need:

Before you begin, gather your tools:

• A 5x5 Lace Closure

• Bundles from the Raw Hair Collection

• Hair scissors or razor

• Wax stick and hot comb

• Lace adhesive or glue (optional for glueless method)

• Edge brush

• Melting band

• Flat iron or curling wand

• Argan Healing Oil 24K Gold for finishing

Step-by-Step: Installing Your Closure

Step 1: Prep Your Base

Braid your hair into cornrows and wear a wig cap that matches your scalp tone. Use a little foundation or lace tint for added realism.

Step 2: Place Your Closure

Position the 5x5 lace closure at the center of your hairline. Adjust until it sits flat and natural. If you’re doing a full wig install, make sure it aligns perfectly with your bundles—check out our bundle deals to match your closure texture.

Step 3: Secure It

For a glueless method, sew down the closure along the braid line. If you prefer adhesive, apply lace glue or gel along the hairline, press the lace into it, and secure with a melting band for 10–15 minutes.

Step 4: Style the Hairline

Pluck the hairline slightly for a more natural look (our closures come pre-plucked for your convenience!). Use a hot comb and wax stick to press the part flat. Lay your edges using an edge brush for that polished finish.

Step 5: Add the Final Touch

Style as desired—flat iron, curl, or wave. Finish with a few drops of our Argan Healing Oil 24K Gold to give your hair that signature Qua glow.
