Size and Placement:
Determine the most preferred size and lace silk closure placement. The most common sizes are 4x4 and 5x5. The average size gives coverage and a natural look. Also, consider closures with different parting options, such as free parting, middle parting, or three-parting, to give customers more styling versatility.
Hair Color and Length:
Select different hair colors and lengths to meet the needs of different customers. This includes natural black or brown shades and lighter tones. Offering various colors allows one to service a larger customer base. The closure's length should match the hair goals customers desire. Offer short, medium, and long lengths to give users many options.
Hair Origin:
Choose human hair silk closures sourced from different parts of the world. They come from India, Brazil, and Europe. Each of them has unique characteristics. For example, Indian hair is versatile, while Brazilian hair is thick and full. Offer different hair origins to meet different customers' quality and performance needs.
Hair Density:
Consider the hair closure's density. This is the amount of hair on the closure. Densities that are average or higher make the closure look full. Densities that are lower make the closure look natural. Offer different densities to meet the needs of customers who like natural looks or those who want a more voluminous look.

Using and installing a Remy silk base closure requires carefulness and the right techniques to achieve a good look. Below is the basic how-to-use and installation process that an end user or hair stylist can follow.
The following are steps for installing a silk closure.
Prepare the Hair
Wash the hair to remove any dirt or oil. Dry it completely after washing it. If it's weave bundles, make a few cornrows on the natural hair to hold it down. If it's a wig, put a wig cap on the natural hair.
Map Out the Placement
Use a chalk or white pencil to map out where the closure will be placed. The closure should go at the front, middle, or back, depending on the desired style. The closure gives a natural-looking hairline, so take time to plan its placement.
Attach the Closure
Using needles and threads, attach the silk closure at the desired spot. If it's at the front, make sure it lines up well with the hair part. Trim any excess lace around the closure carefully. Do not cut the silk fabric.
Add Hair Weaves or Bundles
Start sewing in the hair bundles or weaves. If the closure is at the front, begin sewing the weaves at the closure's side. Continue to sew the weaves until they reach the back. Keep the weaves flat and close together for a natural look.
Secure Everything
Use a plier to secure any visible beads or clips. Apply some hair gel to the closure edges to make it stick well. Hold it down for a few minutes.
Finishing Touches
Curt the closure hair to match the length of the weave or wig. Style the closure and the rest of the hair. Apply some powder or foundation to the closure for a more natural look. Take off any excess product with a cloth.
The silk base closure is a safe hair product when used and installed correctly. Here's how to ensure safety and closure longevity.
Choose the Right Adhesive
Use silicone glue or any other professional-grade hair adhesive. The silicone glue is gentle on the skin and easy to remove after use. Avoid using super glue at all costs.
Clean the Skin
Always clean the skin at the point of contact with alcohol pads. The alcohol pads remove oil and creates a smooth surface for the adhesive to stick. The closure will stick to the skin better, and it will last longer.
Protect the Hair
Always remove the silk closure at the end of the day. Keep the closure on a clean, dry, and flat surface. Do not keep the silk closure on the hair overnight. It can get dusty, and the adhesive can get sticky.
Be Careful During Removal
Use a closure removal spray or oil to remove the closure. Spray or pour the oil at the closure's edge. Give it some time to break down the glue. Use a tweezer or fingernail to lift the closure. Do not pull the closure at once. Remove it slowly. After removing it, wash it with shampoo and dry it properly.
