A 613 blonde sew-in looks more cohesive when the closure and bundles are planned together. The three decisions that matter most are texture, length and blonde tone. A 5x5 closure in the right shade but the wrong texture can interrupt the finished style; matching the curl pattern but overlooking length can make the top difficult to blend. And two pieces labeled “613” can still look slightly different under real lighting.
Quick answer: Her Hair Company's Brazilian 613# 5x5 Lace Closure currently lists 16, 18 and 20 inches, each in Straight and Body Wave. Choose the same starting texture as your bundles, then pick a closure length that works with your shortest and longest bundle lengths. Check the actual color together before installation rather than assuming the number 613 guarantees a perfect match.
What Does a 5x5 Lace Closure Add to a 613 Sew-In?
A 5x5 lace closure is a separate hairpiece designed to finish the top of a sew-in. Its approximate five-by-five-inch lace area gives your stylist room to create a visible part without leaving much natural hair exposed at the top. It is not a complete wig, and it does not come with the three or four hair bundles needed for the rest of the style. The bundle set and top piece must be selected separately.
For someone who does not want to lighten or repeatedly heat-style natural leave-out just to match a pale blonde color, a closure can be a practical option. That does not mean every closure installation is automatically low-tension or easy to maintain. Fit, braid placement, attachment method and lace handling still matter. Also, 5x5 describes lace dimensions, not a guarantee of HD lace; use the specification on the individual product listing instead of assuming every lace product has the same material.
Step 1: Match Straight With Straight or Body Wave With Body Wave
The current HHC Brazilian 613 blonde bundles and 5x5 closure each offer Straight and Body Wave choices. Those options are different starting textures, even when the color name is the same.
- Straight + Straight: Useful for a sleek, smooth sew-in where the top and longer lengths are intended to fall in a similar direction. If you plan to curl the hair later, ask your stylist how the resulting movement will blend across the closure and wefts.
- Body Wave + Body Wave: A more consistent starting point for soft S-waves and brushed-out movement. The curl may look different after washing or styling, so compare the hair in its natural, dry state as well as when styled.
- Mixed textures: Possible with professional styling, but do not buy a Straight closure for Body Wave bundles—or the reverse—solely because a photo makes the combination look close. It may require extra heat and maintenance to keep the top and lengths visually aligned.
If your preferred finish is Straight, select the Straight variation on both product pages; if it is Body Wave, check the Body Wave variation on both. A product's featured photo does not represent every available texture option.
Step 2: Pick a Closure Length That Blends With Your Bundle Set
Closure length and bundle length serve different jobs. The closure sits at the top of your head, while the wefts are distributed around the back and sides. A closure usually does not need to be as long as the longest bundle to create a layered finish. However, there is no universal rule that it must be exactly two inches shorter: your part, track placement, cut and desired fullness all change the result.
For concrete shopping examples, HHC's Brazilian 613# Hair 3 Bundle Deal currently lists equal-length sets such as 12/12/12 and 14/14/14, plus graduated sets from 12/14/16 through 20/22/24. The Brazilian 613# Hair 4 Bundle Deal lists equal-length 12-inch or 14-inch four-bundle sets and graduated sets from 12/14/16/18 through 18/20/22/24. Both listings have Straight and Body Wave selections, but every exact combination has its own availability.
| Example bundle selection | Closure to compare | Styling reason |
|---|---|---|
| 3 bundles: 14/16/18, Straight | 16-inch Straight 5x5 | A shorter top piece can blend into a layered, medium-length straight style. |
| 3 bundles: 18/20/22, Body Wave | 18-inch Body Wave 5x5 | Matches the starting wave pattern while allowing the longer back pieces to extend below the top. |
| 4 bundles: 18/20/22/24, Body Wave | 20-inch Body Wave 5x5 | An option to discuss for a longer, layered style when your stylist wants more top length. |
These are planning examples, not preassembled kits or guarantees of fit and fullness. The closure must be purchased separately, and your stylist may recommend another length after accounting for your part and intended haircut. Review our closure length guide for more ways to plan a top piece with graduated bundles.
What if You Want a Short, One-Length 613 Blonde Sew-In?
Be especially careful with the equal-length 12/12/12 or 14/14/14 three-bundle selections. The matching HHC 613 5x5 closure currently begins at 16 inches, so there is not a shorter 12-inch or 14-inch version of this specific closure listing to select. A stylist may be able to cut or shape a longer closure for a shorter finished style, but you should plan that before ordering rather than assuming the top piece will automatically line up with the bundle ends.
If creating a precise one-length look is your highest priority, share the intended finished length with your stylist and confirm both the closure shape and the amount of trimming required. Once hair is cut, the removed length cannot be restored. For a deeper breakdown, read Same-Length vs. Mixed-Length Hair Bundles.
Step 3: Decide Whether Three or Four 613 Bundles Fit Your Look
The number of bundles is a fullness decision, not just a length decision. Three bundles may be enough for many medium-length installs depending on the size of the head, fullness desired, texture and how the closure is incorporated. Four bundles offer an additional weft bundle, which may help with some fuller or longer looks, but extra hair can also make an installation bulky if the foundation is not planned well.
- Consider three bundles if you want a more streamlined sew-in and your stylist believes the selected lengths will provide sufficient coverage and lower-end density.
- Consider four bundles if you want added volume, especially when your chosen length arrangement would otherwise leave the longest section sparse. Ask how the added bundle will be distributed across the head.
- Do not compare only the longest number. A 20/22/24 three-bundle set is not the same construction as an 18/20/22/24 four-bundle set. In the four-bundle example, only one bundle is 24 inches; extra fullness at the very ends is not automatic.
- Use singles for a custom plan. If an extra matching length makes more sense than a listed preset, the Brazilian 613# Hair (1 Bundle) lets you select a separate Straight or Body Wave length. One selection supplies one bundle.
Step 4: Check the Blonde Tone—Not Just the Number 613
“613” identifies a very light blonde color family, not a promise that pieces purchased separately have perfectly identical undertones in every room. A closure may appear slightly warmer or cooler than the bundles, especially under salon lamps or direct sunlight. The hair also can look different when wet, dry, waved or straightened.
- Order the closure and bundles in the same intended color family and texture; verify the selected options in your cart.
- Before installation, compare the hair side by side in consistent, neutral daylight. Avoid judging color by separate online photos taken in different lighting.
- Check the roots and the ends, not only the mid-lengths. The transition nearest the part is particularly noticeable in a light blonde style.
- If you want icy blonde, ash, champagne or another custom result, ask a professional colorist to assess both pieces before any toner or dye is applied.
- Do not assume a purple shampoo or toner will fix every color difference. Product processing, porosity and starting tone affect the result, and extra chemical work can make hair drier or more fragile.

5x5 Closure or 13x4 Frontal for a Blonde Hairline?
A 5x5 closure covers a smaller top/front area and usually makes the parting plan more contained. A Brazilian 613# 13x4 Lace Frontal covers a wider front hairline and may suit a different range of parting and styling goals. Both current HHC 613 options list 16, 18 and 20 inches in Straight and Body Wave; they are separate lace pieces, not included in the bundle deals.
If you want a specific middle or modest side part with a more compact lace area, ask your stylist whether a 5x5 closure suits the planned look. If wider front-hairline coverage is important, compare the frontal instead. The right answer also depends on how the piece will be secured and cared for. 13x4 refers to lace coverage dimensions; it does not establish that the product is HD lace. Never infer lace material from the size alone.
Care for Blonde Bundles and Delicate Lace After Installation
Light-colored hair deserves careful handling. Detangle in sections from the ends upward while supporting the wefts or lace, cleanse when product buildup calls for it, use conditioning products appropriate for human hair extensions and avoid repeated unnecessary high heat. If your sew-in gets wet, make sure the braided foundation and attachment areas dry thoroughly, not just the visible blonde lengths.
Avoid aggressive brushing through the lace, excessive traction near the part or repeated adhesive removal without proper technique. The maintenance plan for an installed closure is different from that for a wig you take off daily. Ask your stylist to explain the attachment method and safe removal before leaving the appointment.
Your 613 Blonde Sew-In Shopping Checklist
- Choose Straight or Body Wave for both the top piece and the bundle set.
- Choose the actual 3-bundle or 4-bundle length combination; read every number, not just the longest.
- Check the separate 16-, 18- or 20-inch 5x5 closure options and confirm the finished haircut with your stylist.
- Compare color tone in consistent light and plan any professional toning before the install.
- Check live availability for each selected variant—a product marked active can still have individual unavailable combinations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 613 5x5 closure come with three bundles?
No. The 5x5 closure and the three- or four-bundle set are separate products. Add the exact items and variants you want to your cart.
Should the closure be the same length as the longest bundle?
Not necessarily. The closure sits higher on the head and can be shorter for a layered result. Confirm your preferred top length against the full bundle set and your intended finished cut.
Can I use a Body Wave 613 closure with Straight 613 bundles?
A stylist may be able to blend different starting textures, but matching Body Wave to Body Wave or Straight to Straight usually gives a simpler, more consistent starting point. Mixing textures can require additional styling and maintenance.
Is every 613 5x5 closure made from HD lace?
No. “5x5” indicates the approximate lace area, not the lace material. Check the individual listing's verified construction rather than assuming an HD specification.
Are four bundles always better for a long blonde sew-in?
No. Four bundles add hair, but actual density at the ends depends on length combinations, where the wefts go, texture and cutting. Ask your stylist how the extra bundle would be placed.
Do two hairpieces labeled 613 always match exactly?
No. Tone and lighting can create visible differences. Compare the actual pieces together and consult a professional before additional color treatment.
Final Decision: Match the Top Piece Before Choosing the Longest Bundles
For a cohesive 613 blonde sew-in, start with the look you want to see at the part and through the ends. Match the closure's starting texture to your bundles, choose a workable length combination, and verify the blonde tone. That gives your stylist a more useful plan than selecting the longest bundle deal first and trying to make every other piece fit afterward.
