What Length Frontal Should I Get With My Bundles?

Your lace frontal does not need to be the same length as your longest bundle. Because a frontal starts at the top and front of the head, it naturally becomes part of the shortest and middle layers of the finished hairstyle.

For most layered sew-ins, choose a frontal close to the shortest bundle in your set or a few inches shorter when you intentionally want face-framing layers. For extra-long bundles, a 20-inch frontal can still blend naturally when the stylist uses the shorter bundles and final haircut to connect the lengths.

For example, an 18- or 20-inch frontal can work with 18/20/22 bundles, while a 20-inch frontal can be paired with 22/24/26 or even longer bundles when the finished style is designed with long graduated layers.

The correct frontal length also depends on texture, parting direction, 13x4 versus 13x6 lace depth, desired face framing and whether you want a layered or nearly one-length result.

This guide explains how to match frontal length with your bundles before ordering so the front does not look too short, too heavy or disconnected from the rest of the sew-in.

What Length Frontal Should I Get? Quick Guide

These are planning ranges rather than strict formulas. The final choice should reflect the texture, haircut and where you want the shortest visible front layer to fall.

Frontal Length and Frontal Size Are Two Different Measurements

Before choosing a frontal, separate two measurements that are often confused.

• Frontal size: the dimensions of the lace base, such as 13x4 or 13x6
• Frontal hair length: the length of the human hair attached to that lace, such as 16, 18 or 20 inches

A 13x6 18-inch frontal therefore has a deeper lace area than a 13x4 18-inch frontal, but both use hair measured at approximately 18 inches.

The larger lace does not automatically mean longer hair.

Why the Frontal Does Not Need to Match the Longest Bundle

Hair length is measured before installation. After installation, every piece begins at a different position on the head.

The frontal starts near the hairline and crown. The longest bundle is usually installed much lower through the back.

Because the frontal starts higher, its hair naturally becomes an upper layer even when its labeled length is shorter than the longest bundle.

For example:

• An 18-inch frontal begins at the top of the head.
• A 20-inch bundle may begin through the upper or middle back.
• A 22-inch bundle may begin lower.
• A 24-inch bundle may create the longest bottom section.

The completed result can still look smoothly graduated rather than like four disconnected lengths.

The Easiest Rule: Match the Frontal Near the Shortest Bundle

For most mixed-length sew-ins, using a frontal close to the shortest bundle is a reliable starting strategy.

Examples include:

• 16-inch frontal + 16/18/20 bundles
• 18-inch frontal + 18/20/22 bundles
• 20-inch frontal + 20/22/24 bundles

This creates a natural progression from the top toward the longest ends without requiring the stylist to remove excessive frontal length.

It is especially useful for:

• Long layers
• Side parts
• Middle parts
• Body Wave installs
• Large curls
• Soft U-shaped backs
• Face-framing cuts

Can the Frontal Be Shorter Than the Shortest Bundle?

Yes. A slightly shorter frontal can create a more layered front and reduce the amount of cutting required around the face.

Examples include:

• 16-inch frontal + 18/20/22 bundles
• 18-inch frontal + 20/22/24 bundles
• 20-inch frontal + 22/24/26 bundles

This approach works best when the difference is intentional.

A shorter frontal can create:

• More visible face framing
• Greater movement around the cheeks and shoulders
• A softer deep side part
• Layered barrel curls
• A more dimensional front silhouette

The stylist still needs enough intermediate hair to connect the frontal into the longer bundles.

When Is the Frontal Too Short?

A frontal may be too short when the difference between the frontal and surrounding bundles creates a visible shelf instead of intentional layers.

Warning signs include:

• The frontal ends abruptly around the shoulders while the bundles extend to the waist.
• The front resembles a separate short haircut.
• Large curls expose a noticeable gap between the upper and lower hair.
• The frontal looks unusually full while the longer hair looks narrow.
• A deep side sweep cannot reach or connect with the bundle lengths.
• Too much of the frontal must be hidden beneath surrounding hair.

A 14-inch frontal with 26/28/30 bundles, for example, creates a substantial length difference and requires a more complex layering strategy than a 20-inch frontal with the same bundles.

Can the Frontal Be the Same Length as the Longest Bundle?

Yes, but it usually is not necessary.

A longer frontal may work when you want:

• Minimal visible layering
• A dramatic side sweep
• Long front pieces
• A nearly one-length straight style
• The stylist to control all layering after installation

The tradeoff is that a very long frontal may require significant cutting around the face and crown.

If you already know the finished style needs shorter front pieces, purchasing the longest possible frontal may add cost and hair that will simply be removed.

What Length Frontal for 14/16/18 Bundles?

A 14- or 16-inch frontal is a practical starting range.

Choose 14 Inches When:

• You want stronger face framing.
• The style will be layered.
• You want more movement around the shoulders.
• The finished length is relatively moderate.

Choose 16 Inches When:

• You want a smoother front-to-bundle transition.
• You prefer less obvious layering.
• You plan to wear the hair straight.
• You want a longer side sweep.

What Length Frontal for 16/18/20 Bundles?

A 16- or 18-inch frontal works well for most styles in this range.

Choose 16 inches for:

• Visible layered movement
• Face-framing pieces
• Body Wave or curled styles
• A softer front

Choose 18 inches for:

• A longer front section
• A smoother Straight Hair transition
• A deeper side sweep
• Less cutting after installation

What Length Frontal for 18/20/22 Bundles?

An 18- or 20-inch frontal is usually the easiest combination.

18-Inch Frontal

This creates a clear graduated structure:

• 18-inch frontal through the top and front
• 18- or 20-inch hair through the upper bundle rows
• 20-inch middle length
• 22-inch longest section

It is well suited to Body Wave, long layers and large curls.

20-Inch Frontal

This gives you a longer upper section and can work especially well for:

• Straight installs
• Deep side parts
• Long front pieces
• Less visible graduation

What Length Frontal for 20/22/24 Bundles?

A 20-inch frontal is a natural starting choice.

It allows the frontal hair to connect into the 20- and 22-inch bundle sections before reaching the longest 24-inch hair.

This combination works well for:

• Long Body Wave
• Straight long layers
• Barrel curls
• Middle parts
• Deep side parts
• Soft U-shaped backs

If your stylist wants stronger face framing, the frontal can be cut shorter after installation without requiring you to purchase an already short frontal.

What Length Frontal for 22/24/26 Bundles?

A 20-inch frontal can still create a balanced result.

The difference between the 20-inch frontal and 26-inch longest bundle becomes part of a long-layered silhouette.

The stylist should use the 22- and 24-inch bundles strategically so the hair transitions gradually rather than jumping directly from 20 to 26 inches.

This is particularly important with Straight Hair because every length difference is easier to see.

What Length Frontal for 24/26/28 Bundles?

Use the longest compatible frontal available in the matching texture when you want a smooth extra-long result.

A 20-inch frontal can still work, but the finished haircut should clearly be designed as a layered style.

The stylist may need to:

• Preserve enough 24-inch hair through the upper rows.
• Blend the frontal into the 24-inch bundle.
• Create long connecting layers.
• Maintain enough density through the 26- and 28-inch sections.
• Shape the front without making the frontal look separate.

What Length Frontal for 26/28/30 Bundles?

For extra-long installs, choose the longest matching frontal available and treat it as the upper layer rather than expecting it to reach the 30-inch perimeter.

The finished result will naturally contain significant graduation.

A good extra-long installation needs:

• Enough intermediate-length hair
• Full lower density
• Intentional face framing
• A planned U- or V-shaped perimeter
• Enough bundle hair at the maximum length

If your goal is a nearly one-length 30-inch Straight result with extremely long front pieces, confirm the complete product combination with your stylist before ordering.

Current Her Hair Company Frontal Length Options

Her Hair Company currently lists Brazilian Body Wave and Brazilian Straight 13x4 HD Lace Frontals in 14-, 16-, 18- and 20-inch options.

The current Brazilian Body Wave and Brazilian Straight 13x6 HD Lace Frontals list 16-, 18- and 20-inch options.

Because the available frontal lengths are shorter than some extra-long Bundle options, a 20-inch frontal can serve as the planned upper layer for longer installs rather than matching the maximum Bundle length.

Browse the full Brazilian Lace Frontals collection to compare the current textures and lace sizes before ordering.

Does 13x4 vs. 13x6 Change the Frontal Length You Need?

Not directly.

A 13x6 frontal gives you more lace depth than a 13x4, but hair length is a separate measurement.

Choose 13x4 or 13x6 according to your parting and styling needs.

Choose 13x4 When:

• You need standard frontal depth.
• You wear a middle or conventional side part.
• You do not need maximum front-to-back parting space.
• You want more room behind the frontal for bundle tracks.

Choose 13x6 When:

• You want a deeper middle part.
• You want a deeper side part.
• You prefer more lace-visible scalp through the front.
• You want greater front styling flexibility.

After choosing 13x4 or 13x6, select the hair length according to the finished layers.

How Texture Changes the Frontal-Length Decision

Straight Hair

Straight Hair displays length differences most clearly.

A frontal that is significantly shorter than the surrounding bundles can create an obvious shelf around the shoulders or chest.

For Straight Hair:

• Stay relatively close to the shortest bundle.
• Use intermediate lengths in extra-long installs.
• Avoid extreme jumps without a planned layered cut.
• Consider a longer frontal for deep side parts and long face framing.

For a sleek installation, compare the Brazilian Straight 13x4 HD Lace Frontal and Brazilian Straight 13x6 HD Lace Frontal.

Body Wave Hair

Body Wave is more forgiving because broad S-shaped movement visually connects different lengths.

A slightly shorter frontal can create attractive cascading layers without appearing disconnected.

This makes Body Wave practical for combinations such as:

• 16-inch frontal + 18/20/22 bundles
• 18-inch frontal + 20/22/24 bundles
• 20-inch frontal + 22/24/26 bundles

Compare the Brazilian Body Wave 13x4 HD Lace Frontal and Brazilian Body Wave 13x6 HD Lace Frontal.

Deep Wave and Water Wave

Defined wave patterns hide precise length transitions more easily than Straight Hair.

A shorter frontal may therefore blend naturally when:

• The wave pattern matches.
• The density is consistent.
• The hair is styled in its native texture.
• The visible lengths overlap naturally.

Remember that stronger wave patterns also appear shorter on the body than Straight Hair at the same measured length.

Deep Curly and Kinky Curly

For curly textures, visible shrinkage matters more than the printed number alone.

A 20-inch Curly Frontal and 22-inch Curly Bundle may appear much closer in visible length than those same measurements in Straight Hair.

Compare:

• Dry curl pattern
• Curl diameter
• Root volume
• Visible shrinkage
• Density
• Where the dry hair falls on the body

Do not mix Frontal and Bundle lengths using Straight Hair assumptions when the chosen texture is strongly curled.

Does a Middle Part Need a Different Frontal Length?

A middle part distributes frontal hair relatively evenly across both sides of the face.

This makes a frontal near the shortest bundle an easy choice.

A middle-part install benefits from:

• Balanced left and right lengths
• A smooth frontal-to-bundle transition
• Even side density
• Symmetrical face framing when layers are added

An 18-inch frontal with 18/20/22 bundles is a straightforward middle-part combination.

Does a Side Part Need a Longer Frontal?

It can.

A deep side part moves more frontal hair across one side of the face, so additional frontal length can support a longer sweep.

Choose the longer option in your practical range when you want:

• A dramatic side sweep
• Longer front curls
• Less aggressive face framing
• A smoother transition into long bundles

For example, a 20-inch frontal may be more useful than an 18-inch frontal with 18/20/22 bundles when the final look uses a long deep side part.

What Frontal Length Is Best for Face-Framing Layers?

A slightly shorter frontal can reduce the amount of hair the stylist needs to remove when creating face framing.

Choose shorter frontal hair when you want layers beginning around:

• The chin
• The collarbone
• The shoulders
• The upper chest

The precise finished location still depends on head shape, where the frontal sits and how the hair is cut.

Do not order a dramatically shorter frontal solely to create face framing. A stylist can shorten a longer frontal, but cannot restore length after a frontal has been purchased too short.

What Frontal Length Is Best for a Nearly One-Length Style?

Choose a longer frontal when you want the front hair to remain closer to the overall length.

This is useful for:

• Sleek Straight Hair
• Minimal layers
• Long middle parts
• Long side pieces
• A fuller lower-front silhouette

The frontal still does not necessarily need to match the longest bundle because it begins much higher on the head.

What Frontal Length Is Best for Large Barrel Curls?

Large curls generally look better when the frontal contains enough length to participate in the front and shoulder-level curl pattern.

A very short frontal can produce small upper curls that sit separately from longer lower curls.

For a barrel-curl style:

• Choose the frontal near the shortest bundle.
• Use gradual bundle lengths.
• Maintain enough density through the longest section.
• Create the final layers before setting the complete curl pattern.

Should the Frontal and Bundles Be the Same Texture?

Normally, yes.

Correct length cannot compensate for a texture mismatch.

Match the frontal and bundles in:

• Texture
• Color
• Wave or curl size
• Luster
• Root volume
• Finished styling method

A 20-inch Body Wave frontal over 20/22/24 Deep Wave bundles can look more disconnected than an 18-inch Deep Wave frontal over the same bundles.

Choose texture first, then length.

Should the Frontal and Bundles Be the Same Color?

They should visually coordinate unless a deliberate color design has been planned.

Pay particular attention to Natural Black and Soft 1B because dark extension hair can show subtle warm, cool or neutral undertones in daylight.

A length transition may be perfectly blended while the frontal still looks separate because it is darker, shinier or warmer than the bundles.

Use the Natural Black vs. 1B Hair Color Guide when matching dark extension pieces.

Frontal Length vs. Closure Length: Is the Rule the Same?

The general principle is similar: both pieces begin near the top of the head and usually function as upper layers.

The difference is coverage.

A frontal stretches across the front hairline, while a closure covers a smaller top section.

Because the frontal creates more visible hair around the face, its length can have a stronger effect on:

• Face framing
• Side sweeps
• Temple-area length
• Front curl placement
• Half-up styling

If you are using a Closure instead, read What Length Closure Should I Get With My Bundles?

Does Frontal Length Change How Many Bundles You Need?

A longer frontal contributes more hair through the upper and middle portions of the style, but it does not necessarily replace density at the longest point.

Bundle count should still be determined by:

• Bundle length
• Texture
• Head size
• 13x4 or 13x6 frontal depth
• Desired end fullness
• Same-length or mixed-length bundles
• Finished haircut

A 20-inch frontal with 26/28/30 bundles makes the upper section fuller, but it does not create additional 30-inch ends.

For quantity planning, read How Many Bundles Do I Need With a Frontal?

Three Bundles vs. Four Bundles With a Shorter Frontal

A shorter frontal can make the top look full while the longest section still needs additional hair.

Consider four bundles when:

• The longest length is 24 inches or more.
• You want complete Straight Hair ends.
• The set contains only one bundle at the longest measurement.
• You want large curls with substantial lower density.
• Your head requires wider track coverage.

Compare Brazilian 3 Bundle Deals with Brazilian 4 Bundle Deals according to the final density—not simply the Frontal length.

Same-Length Bundles With a Frontal

Same-length bundles provide more strands at one target measurement.

Examples include:

• 18/18/18
• 20/20/20
• 24/24/24

With same-length bundles, the frontal can be:

• A few inches shorter for layers
• Close to the bundle length for a smoother silhouette
• Cut after installation to create custom face framing

For example, an 18- or 20-inch frontal can work with 20/20/20 bundles depending on the desired front layers.

Mixed-Length Bundles With a Frontal

Mixed-length sets already contain a built-in progression.

For example:

• 18-inch frontal
• 18-inch bundle
• 20-inch bundle
• 22-inch bundle

This naturally moves from shorter top hair into progressively longer sections.

Mixed lengths are particularly useful for:

• Body Wave
• Deep Wave
• Large curls
• U-shaped backs
• Long face-framing layers

If you want a custom combination with extra density at one measurement, use the Brazilian Single Bundle collection rather than choosing a completely different Frontal length.

Should You Buy the Frontal Before the Bundles?

Plan both together.

A better purchase order is:

1. Choose the finished texture.
2. Choose the maximum finished length.
3. Choose same-length or graduated bundles.
4. Choose the desired parting style.
5. Decide between 13x4 and 13x6.
6. Select the frontal length that forms the correct upper layer.
7. Confirm three or four bundles according to the required density.

This prevents you from buying a Frontal simply because one length looked attractive on the product page.

How to Know if Your Frontal Is Too Long

A frontal may be unnecessarily long when:

• Most of its length must be cut away.
• The front feels heavier than the surrounding Bundle layers.
• The side sweep contains too much weight.
• The frontal reaches deep into the lower section and competes with Bundle density.
• You purchased extra length even though your final style requires short face framing.

A longer frontal is not inherently bad. The issue is whether that extra hair contributes to the final design.

How to Know if Your Frontal Is Too Short

A frontal is more likely to be too short when:

• The ends stop far above the first Bundle transition.
• The front looks like a separate haircut.
• The side part cannot blend into the longer hair.
• Large curls form two distinct length groups.
• The difference becomes especially obvious when the hair is straight.

When in doubt between two Frontal lengths, a slightly longer option generally gives the stylist more cutting flexibility.

Do You Cut the Frontal After Installation?

Often, yes.

The stylist may shape the frontal together with the bundles to create:

• Face-framing layers
• Long side pieces
• A butterfly-inspired front
• Balanced barrel curls
• A smooth frontal-to-bundle transition

Do not pre-cut the frontal before its exact installed position has been established.

The same hair can appear shorter or longer depending on where the lace sits and how the part directs the hair.

How to Choose Frontal Length for a Bob

For a bob, choose the Frontal according to the final haircut rather than the longest uncut Bundle.

A shorter or medium-length frontal can support:

• Chin-length bobs
• Shoulder-length bobs
• Long bobs
• Asymmetrical side-part cuts

The stylist may intentionally purchase hair slightly longer than the final bob so the complete installation can be cut into one controlled shape.

A bob usually does not need an extra-long frontal simply because the front is angled longer than the back.

How to Choose Frontal Length for Extra-Long Straight Hair

Extra-long Straight Hair exposes length transitions more clearly than almost any other combination.

For 24–30 inch Straight Hair:

• Use the longest matching frontal available when minimal layering is desired.
• Use gradual intermediate bundle lengths.
• Maintain enough lower density.
• Avoid making the shortest front layer dramatically shorter without a planned haircut.
• Confirm the finished front, side and back with your stylist before ordering.

How to Choose Frontal Length for Wavy or Curly Hair

Waves and curls make length transitions more forgiving, but they introduce visible shrinkage.

Choose according to the dry finished pattern rather than simply copying a Straight Hair combination.

For example, a 20-inch strongly waved Frontal may visually fall much higher than a 20-inch Straight Frontal.

If the goal is chest-length curls around the face, the measured frontal may need to be longer than expected.

Frontal-Length Shopping Checklist

1. Choose the texture first.
2. Choose the maximum Bundle length.
3. Identify the shortest Bundle.
4. Decide whether you want visible layers or minimal layers.
5. Choose 13x4 or 13x6 according to parting needs.
6. Start with a Frontal near the shortest Bundle.
7. Go shorter only when stronger face framing is intentional.
8. Choose the longer option for dramatic side sweeps or straighter styles.
9. Account for wave and curl shrinkage.
10. Match color and texture before length.
11. Confirm whether three or four Bundles create enough lower density.
12. Do not cut or alter the Frontal before the installation plan is confirmed.

Common Frontal-Length Buying Mistakes

Matching the Frontal to the Longest Bundle Automatically

The Frontal starts at the top and usually functions as an upper layer.

Choosing the Shortest Frontal Only to Save Money

A large length gap can create a disconnected front that requires more styling and cutting work.

Choosing the Longest Frontal Only Because Longer Sounds Better

Much of that hair may be removed if the finished style requires face framing.

Confusing 13x6 With a Longer Frontal

13x6 describes Lace depth, not hair length.

Ignoring Texture Shrinkage

A curly 20-inch Frontal does not visually fall like a Straight 20-inch Frontal.

Choosing Length Before Texture

A perfectly matched measurement can still look wrong when the wave or curl pattern differs from the bundles.

Ignoring the Side Part

A deep side sweep may benefit from additional frontal length.

Buying Extra-Long Bundles Without Intermediate Lengths

A 20-inch frontal cannot transition smoothly into 30-inch hair if the rest of the installation provides no connecting layers.

Ignoring Lower Density

A long frontal makes the front look full but does not replace sufficient hair at the longest Bundle length.

Cutting the Frontal Before Installation

Its final falling point changes once it is positioned, parted and styled.

Questions to Ask Your Stylist Before Ordering

1. Should the frontal match my shortest bundle?
2. Would a shorter frontal create better face framing?
3. Would a longer frontal improve my side part?
4. Should I choose 13x4 or 13x6?
5. Where should the shortest front layer fall?
6. Will the hair be worn primarily straight, waved or curly?
7. How much visible shrinkage should I expect?
8. How will the frontal blend into the first bundle row?
9. Should the bundles be same-length or graduated?
10. Do I need an additional intermediate bundle?
11. Do I need three or four bundles for full ends?
12. How much of the frontal will be cut after installation?

Quick Buying Guide

• 14/16/18 bundles: start with a 14- or 16-inch frontal.
• 16/18/20 bundles: start with a 16- or 18-inch frontal.
• 18/20/22 bundles: choose 18 or 20 inches depending on layering.
• 20/22/24 bundles: a 20-inch frontal is a natural starting point.
• 22/24/26 bundles: a 20-inch frontal can create long graduated layers.
• 24/26/28 or longer: choose the longest compatible frontal and plan intentional layers.
• Deep side part: lean toward the longer practical frontal option.
• Strong face framing: choose a slightly shorter upper layer.
• Straight hair: keep the length progression especially smooth.
• Wavy or curly hair: account for visible shrinkage.
• Full extra-long ends: solve the lower density with bundle quantity, not an excessively long frontal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should my frontal be the same length as my bundles?

No. A frontal often works best near the shortest Bundle length because it starts at the top of the head and naturally becomes an upper layer.

Can my frontal be shorter than my bundles?

Yes. A slightly shorter frontal can create natural face-framing and upper layers when the difference is blended intentionally.

What length frontal should I get with 18/20/22 bundles?

An 18- or 20-inch frontal is a practical choice. Choose 18 inches for more layering and 20 inches for a longer, smoother front.

What length frontal should I get with 20/22/24 bundles?

A 20-inch frontal creates a natural progression into 20-, 22- and 24-inch Bundle layers.

What length frontal should I get with 22/24/26 bundles?

A 20-inch frontal can work well as the upper layer when the 22- and 24-inch Bundles are used to create a gradual transition.

Can I use a 20-inch frontal with 24/26/28 bundles?

Yes. The completed hairstyle will be visibly layered, so the stylist should preserve enough intermediate-length hair to connect the Frontal to the 28-inch section.

Can I use a 16-inch frontal with 20/22/24 bundles?

You can, but the eight-inch difference from the longest Bundle creates more noticeable layering. It works better for a deliberately layered or curled style than a nearly one-length Straight result.

Is an 18-inch frontal long enough for 24-inch bundles?

It can be when the style uses visible face framing and intermediate Bundle layers. A 20-inch frontal creates a smoother transition when less layering is desired.

Does a 13x6 frontal need to be longer than a 13x4?

No. 13x6 describes Lace depth. The correct hair length still depends on the Bundle lengths and finished hairstyle.

What is the longest Her Hair Company Body Wave 13x4 frontal length?

The current Brazilian Body Wave 13x4 HD Lace Frontal product page lists options through 20 inches. Check the product page for current variant availability before ordering.

What is the longest Her Hair Company Body Wave 13x6 frontal length?

The current Brazilian Body Wave 13x6 HD Lace Frontal product page lists options through 20 inches. Check current availability before purchase.

Should I choose an 18- or 20-inch frontal?

Choose 18 inches when you want more visible face framing or layering. Choose 20 inches when you want a longer side sweep, smoother transition or less cutting.

Does Body Wave need a shorter frontal?

Not necessarily, but Body Wave makes a slightly shorter frontal easier to blend because its broad waves soften the transition between lengths.

Does curly hair need a longer frontal?

It may need a longer measured length to reach the same body position because the curl pattern creates visible shrinkage.

Should the frontal match the bundle texture?

Yes. Matching texture, color and luster is usually more important than making every hairpiece the same labeled length.

Does a longer frontal replace a bundle?

No. A longer frontal contributes more hair through the upper and middle sections but does not provide the same lower-back and longest-end density as a Bundle.

Can you cut a frontal shorter after installation?

Yes. Professional cutting after installation allows the stylist to create face framing and connect the frontal with the surrounding bundle layers.

Is a shorter frontal better for layers?

It can reduce how much length needs to be removed, but the safest option depends on the complete haircut. A slightly longer frontal gives the stylist more flexibility.

Final Choice: Match the Frontal to the Upper Layers, Not the Longest Ends

The easiest way to choose frontal length is to decide where the front and upper layers should fall.

For most mixed-length sets, begin with a frontal near the shortest bundle. Go slightly shorter when you want stronger face framing. Choose the longer practical option when you want a deep side sweep, Straight Hair or less visible layering.

For 18/20/22 bundles, compare an 18- and 20-inch frontal. For 20/22/24 bundles, 20 inches is a natural starting point. For 22/24/26 and extra-long combinations, a 20-inch frontal can remain the upper layer when the intermediate Bundle lengths and final haircut create a smooth transition.

Start with the Brazilian Lace Frontals collection, then coordinate the selected texture with Brazilian 3 Bundle Deals or Brazilian 4 Bundle Deals. Use Brazilian Single Bundles when your stylist needs an additional intermediate or longest length to complete the shape.
