5 Ways To Extend Your Wig Life!

fusion hair extensions 5 Ways To Extend Your Wig Life!human hair Weft ; You want to look good; you’ve bought a new wig and are all ready for the grand makeover. In all the joy of trying out the new look you forget to enquire how to keep your good wig looking great. Well, here’s how you can keep your lace wig in perfect condition.

Lace wigs are lightweight, comfortable and give you the perfect look.

When you first receive the lace wig put your hands inside the wig and give it a gentle shake. This will loosen and open out hair. If the hair is straight use a wig brush to gently comb it through. If it is a curly wig, simply run your fingers through the hair.

Washing

You can wear your lace wigs for up to 30 wearing or 6 weeks depending on the adhesive used. If you use the wig in harsher environments like strong direct sunlight or smoky conditions you must wash the wig more often. The best way to know when your wig needs a wash is if it gets sticky, tangled and seems lifeless. It’s just like your own hair so you will know when it is time.

Gently brush the wig at the bottom to untangle any knots. Soak the wig for a few minutes and then wash with a wig shampoo in the washbasin. Never out it in the washing machine. End with a rinse. Be gentle at all times.

Drying

To dry, pat the wig with a towel. Remember, never wring the hair or else it will loose shape. Don’t air dry it or comb when dripping wet as well. Hang the wig on a wig stand to dry. You can spray a wig conditioner and then gently use your fingers to smoothen it out.

Use Proper Products

Your lace wigs have been treated with care. You must use only dedicated and specially formulated wig care products like shampoos, conditioners and brushes.

Often you may come across certain products, which are advertised as being mild and delicate like baby care products for example. These are definitely not suitable for your wigs. They may actually make your wig dull and loose their colour.

Do not use hairbrushes with nylon bristles especially on curly wigs. The curls will open out. Avoid hairspray, mousse and permanent hair colors as well. Also remember to use the products correctly and in right quantities.

Avoid Damaging Agents

Excessive heat and cold can play havoc with your wig. Avoid direct heat from ovens, blow dryers and clothes dryers, hot boiling water, barbeques and such objects. You can wear a cloth on your head to minimize any effect. If you are caught in the rain, snow or steam like conditions just wait for your wig to dry before you do anything.

Avoid Friction

It is preferred that you remove your wig when sleeping. Friction with the pillow or high furniture, car headrests etc can cause wear and tear and cut short the life of your wig. Just bear these points in mind and you can have great looking lace wigs that last for a long time.

How To Select Your Front Lace Hair Pieces

Sunday, 26. December 2010 14:32

Your choices define your life! That holds true for almost anything you do or have. You have the power to choose how to look, what to say, how to behave, what to accomplish and even the choice to not do something.

When you decide to buy a wig, you have to make certain choices as well. There are full lace wigs and front lace wigs available in the market. You have to be selective and know the fundamentals before you proceed.Human hair Weft 1 How To Select Your Front Lace Hair Pieces

Many people prefer front lace hairpieces. They are the latest and very trendy to sport.

There are five important points you must remember in order to make the best choice.

1) The shape of your face.
Your wig should complement your face structure. You should first take a good long look at yourself in the mirror and check the shape you sport. Is it heart-shaped, oblong, square, pear-shaped or round? Your face shape is the most important consideration when buying a wig.

2) Measure your head.
You have to get the correct measurements of the circumference of your head, ear to ear across the head, ear to ear across the forehead, front to nape, temple to temple round back, and the nape of neck. Especially, if you are going in for a custom-made wig as the suppliers do not hold themselves accountable for wrong measurements given.

3) Decide on the type of lace.
You have basically two choices when it comes to the lace base. You either go in for a Swiss lace or a French lace. Both are thin and merge very well with your scalp. No one will ever notice you are wearing a wig. The French lace base however is slightly more durable and comes in a variety of colours.

4) Choose the colour and texture.
While the lace base matches your scalp, the hair has to be in line with the existing colour and texture so as to merge well and give you a natural look.

5) Chose between the designs.
You have a Standard Design Lace Front where you can see through in the front and an Alternate Design Lace Front where you can see through in the front and top. Choose what suits your lifestyle.

Once you have done this 5-point check, you can get yourself a Front Lace Wig. Go ahead and wear one. It’s time you gifted yourself the Superstar look!

FridayNightHair– FNH19 (Spanish Wave Indian Remy Lace Front)

Saturday, 25. December 2010 13:49

2 FridayNightHair   FNH19 (Spanish Wave Indian Remy Lace Front)Note: This video was previously recorded about a week ago. This was made the same day as my review on bestcoloredcontacts.

Hey dolls and gents!! Some of you wanted me to review one of Friday Night Hair’s Remy lace fronts, so I choose FNH19. She is a 16 in. Spanish Wave Indian Remy lace front wig. She has 3 combs in the front (NO comb in the back) and an adjustable strap in the back. There is swiss lace on the front AND back of this unit. The color is a 1B (off-black color). This unit can be worn curly, straighten, curled…its natural curls will revert back even after straightening! Very little shedding and tangling. She is a nice lace front wig. I definitely would recommend her especially if you like BIG hair. She can be worn big (curly natural state) or sleek (straightened). I cut my unit into layers, if you want to see how it orginally looked then check the FridayNightHair website. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

FREE shipping for the US and Canada on everything on the FridayNightHair website till Christmas Eve (12/24/10)…no minimum purchase necessary. =)

Styling & Caring for Hair Extensions!

Saturday, 25. December 2010 13:49

2 Styling & Caring for Hair Extensions!Hey everyone. I was wearing my extensions and I thought why not make a video showing you how to wear your hair extensions and how to care for them properly. I only wear my hair extensions in the winter because like I said in the video, for me it’s too hot to wear them in the summer. I know this is a really long video but it is filled with important information. I hope that you all enjoy this video and you find it helpful of course. Enjoy!

WHAT AM I WEARING?
Top: Forever 21
Cardigan: Sears
Earrings: Diamonds
Necklace: G21 by George from Wally Mart, icon smile Styling & Caring for Hair Extensions!
Nails: Diva of Geneva by O.P.I
Lips: Lychee Luxe by MAC, I think, opps.

Products Used:
Paddle Brush
Thin Comb
TresEMME Heat Tamer Spray
Clips (from Sally’s Beauty Supply Store)
Hot Tools Curling Iron (1 1/4″ or1 1/2″)
BaByliss Pro Ceramic Curling Iron (1/2″)
100% 14″ human hair extensions (Unsure of brand, sorry!)
JOICO Brilliant Shine Gloss

My Tips:

Tip #1 – When buying hair extensions make sure to match them to your NATURAL hair colour, not to your dyed hair colour because once the dye fades your extensions will look completely noticeable.

Tip #2 – Also, when you are purchasing your extensions make sure to get them one or two inches longer than you originally wanted them because once they are in your hair they look a lot shorter.

Tip #3 – If you are going to get hair extensions try to get real human hair ones. Synthetic Hair Extensions look more noticeable in your hair and they break really easily. In the long run if you have human hair extensions they will last you so much longer and they look a lot better and more natural.

Tip #4 – Once you have bought your extensions go to a hair stylist and get them cut. You don’t need to cut the length just cut your side pieces cut so they will frame your face and look a lot more natural.

Tip #5 – Use at least four pieces in your hair. Use two around the head, make sure they are spaced out by at least an inch. Also, use one piece of each side of your head so they give you extra volume and they blend everything together.

Tip #6 – When you are sewing on the clips double up the strands of hair so it looks thicker and it will blend it so much better. If you have super thick hair you will have to use a lot of pieces.

Tip #7 – ALWAYS use a heat protectant, always. This will ensure that your real hair and extensions are protected from the heat of a flat iron or a curling iron. Heat protectants also prevent split ends and breakage.

Tip #8 – When curling your extensions use a larger one for the whole head and then use a smaller curling iron for the front pieces so it frames your face and blends everything.

Tip #9 – When your clipping in the hair extensions make sure to back comb where the clips will be placed. This will make them feel less heavy and make them a lot more comfortable. Extensions can give you headaches if they are pulling on your hair and back combing will eliminate this problem!

Tip #10 – Try not to use a lot of hairspray when your wearing the extensions. Human hair extensions hold curls extremely well and they can be used about four or five times before they need to be re-curled. If you feel like they have lost their shape just touch up a couple pieces.

Tip #11 – Wash your extensions every month or two with a gentle shampoo and conditioner. Rise them out very well and comb them out with a wide tooth comb. Allow them to dry, mine take anywhere between 24-48 hours.

I know this might seem like a lot of steps and things to memorize but once you practice everything you will have it down in no time! icon smile Styling & Caring for Hair Extensions!

How to Diagnose and Treat Hair Loss Before Its to Late™

Saturday, 25. December 2010 13:44

Many people fear baldness, both male and female. Many of them check their basin for hair after shampooing.

But in reality our hair naturally loses about 50-100 hairs a day. The hairs removed often stays on our head. So when we take a shower the already fallen hairs end up in the basin, truth is this hair had been shed before we showered.

It is really hard to tell if you are beginning to lose your hair. Bald spots may be one of the signs but there is no assurance for it. However, there is a way to find out if your hair is starting to thin.

Hold about 15-20 strands of hair using your thumb and index finger. Pull it firmly and slowly. If more than 6 hairs were removed, that means your hair is starting to thin. This method is called “Tug test”.

Hair loss is generally experienced in adulthood. But in some cases among teenagers as well. If this is the case, it is a big warning that something is going wrong. Hair loss in adolescence is usually caused by illness or improper nutrition.

Some caused by medical treatments, like chemotherapy. Wearing hairstyles that pulls hair also causes it, like braids, because there is a tension on it. For some people hair-loss is a big worry especially for the ones that care about their appearance. The good news is, in adolescence it is really not happening that often.

Once the causes were corrected, hair usually grows back. I have heard different assumptions of people about hair-loss which are mistakes. When you brush your hair about 100 times it will be stimulated. It might only cause your hair injury.

Hairs don’t breath. They get their oxygen from our blood in our scalps. Hair gets damaged only because of wig or caps if it is too tight. Frequent shampooing of your hair will not shed it. Hair that is removed by shampooing is hair that is already fallen out.

We must take care of our hair in a proper way to prevent hair-loss. If the hair regardless of how we take care of it still falls of then we have to reach for the treatment.
One ingredient in many hair loss treatment products is minoxidil.Studies have shown that in about 80% of the participants, products containing this ingredient are effective in slowing hair loss and, in some, causing regrowth to occur.

Probably the most well known is Rogaine, available at any drug store, in varieties for both men and women. .An additional product containing minoxidil is Provillus, and, again, studies have shown it to be effective.

The difference between Provillus and other similar products is that the makes have added Azelaic Acid, an additional ingredient which appears to enhance the follicle repair in both men and women.

Provillus has been the subject of many studies, just as the other products, and level of effectiveness may be higher. Provillus treatment is a combination of a topical liquid applied to the balding areas, as well as a pill or capsule to be taken in conjunction with the liquid.

As with most Hair loss products, the makers recommend patience. It may take from 3-6 months for improvement to occur.

Top 5 Things to Look for When Buying a Hair Replacement System Online

Saturday, 25. December 2010 13:44

Hair Replacement System

Buying men’s and women’s hair replacement systems online has become easier than ever. There are literally hundreds of options to choose from across the web. Finding the right company to order your hair replacement systems from is a whole different story. Sometimes it can be difficult to tell the difference between a great deal and a deal that’s too good to be true. By taking these 10 things into account when ordering a hair replacement system, you’ll have much better odds of actually getting what you order!

1. Look for a wide selection of products – Your hair replacement company should have a wide range of hair replacement systems available. If seem to be pushing only one or two models, this may be a sign they aren’t a truly serious business. As a consumer, you should be able to have a choice, and not be pushed into something you’re not sure about by a salesman.

2. Look for an attractive website – This may seem like it doesn’t matter, but think about it. A successful hair replacement company doing business on the Internet with many clients will want to put a lot of effort into making their site look great, so you can bet that you’re dealing with a more reputable company if their website looks up to date. Older, outdated websites may be a sign that the company is not very serious about doing business online.

3. Look for a money back guarantee – On stock hair replacements there should always be a money back guarantee. Let’s face it, hair replacement is a personal thing, and there are a million factors that need to be in order for a hair replacement system to look perfect on your head. No company should be selling stock hair systems without a guarantee. The customer should always have the option to return the undamaged system for any reason.

4. Check out the fine print – This is basically an extension of #3. Some companies may have a money back guarantee, but you may also have to look closely to find the full details of their guarantee. Any hair replacement company throwing in a “catch 22” to their money back guarantee is probably doing so because they’re used to getting a lot of systems returned. Customers should always be able to return an unaltered stock hair replacement system with no questions asked!

5. Check out Shipping Costs – Sure there may be some hair replacement companies that seem to have their stock hair replacement systems significantly cheaper than other companies, but you may not find out until it’s too late that they’re padding their shipping charges. Regular Priority shipping for a single hair replacement system inside the US costs under $5.00. If you’re paying massive shipping charges, you may want to look for another company to do business with.
