Taking care of your lace front wig

For many years now, lace front wigs have been the answer to most women's hair troubles, be it a thinning hair problem or a fashion dilemma. They have been named as such because the hair strands are attached to a very fine net lace in the front portion. This lace base looks so natural and blends really well with the natural skin along the hairline. These wigs are much better than any other types of wigs because they are lightweight and do not feel hot on the head if you stay in a hot environment for a longer period. Many women consider this as a good beauty investment because it is the easiest and most fashionable way to achieve beautiful virgin hair. But to get your money's worth, you have to take proper care of it so you can enjoy your lace wig for a long time.

Wash Carefully and Regularly: The most basic way to care for your lace front wig is to wash it on a regular basis. You have to wash it using a shampoo and conditioner that are specifically made for lace wigs. Do not use a regular shampoo that we normally use for our natural hair because it will impair the hair strands of the wig. Washing it regularly will keep all the dust and dirt from being deposited in the lace base or strands of the wig. And if you have the extra budget, you could bring your wig to a salon for some professional cleaning. Professional maintenance will ensure that you wig is rejuvenated after it is being exposed to harsh elements in the environment.

Professionals encourage taking the wig off and putting it on a wig stand while it is being washed as it allows you to clean it completely. Always use cool water in washing it; never with hot water because it impairs the very delicate lace base. And as much as possible, don't use a blow dryer on your lace front wigs because it will cause the lace to shrink.

Spice it Up: Aside from a wig shampoo and conditioner, there are other wig care products that add life and beauty to your lace front wig. Oil-free shines and hair fresheners are available if you want to give your wig some more tender loving care. Hair shines will keep the wig shiny and hair fresheners are best to use after an active or sun-exposed day.

Learn the Right Moves: It is also essential for you to know how to properly attach and detach the lace front wig. In putting the wig on, you must use a safe kind of adhesive or tape. And if you must take your wig off, you must learn to do it correctly so you won't tear it apart and you could still use it again.

Use a Wig Stand: One more must-have is a wig stand; this could either be a Styrofoam or mannequin head that will hold your wig and keep it in good shape when you are not using it. Using a wig stand is also a good way to wash or style your lace front wig if you prefer to have it off. You should also brush your wig everyday but be extra careful and don't brush it rigidly. Hard brushing will cause the hair strands of the wig to break or be detached.

How to wear your extensions with style this summer

extensions

Hair extensions have had for whatever reason some bad press over the years. Thankfully this has all changed, with the introduction of better application and highly trained technicians that train specifically in extensions to give you the hair you've always dreamt of. In the past hair extensions would either be seen on the rich and famous or a poorly fitted clip in weft. I've even seen clip in's half on half off, not a good look.

Nowadays, hair extensions if done correctly are almost undetectable. They should blend seamlessly with your own hair creating a style that falls, flows and moves just as your natural hair would.

With summer just around the corner, now is the perfect time to experiment. Just as when you have a natural looking tan, making you look and feel slimmer. Hair extensions seem to work this magic too. Hair extensions are the perfect getaway accessory that changes your style in an instant.

Now, to avoid the fake look firstly choose your hair with care. Synthetic hair is of course cheaper, but as the saying goes you get what you pay for. Secondly synthetic hair can't be heat styled as real hair can. The length you choose to go can really impact on the final result too. If you opt for a ridiculous length that would challenge Rapunzel then be prepared for people to ask is that hair really hers? We always recommend that you go only two to three lengths longer than your own, if your looking for length and for those who just want to thicken a finer style the all important cut is the crucial ingredient. Glue now is a thing of past with people opting nowadays for the ease of the micro ring. Not only do these little gems make it easy to remove the extension but they make top ups and maintenance a joy. They have the advantage over the weft as these tiny little rings can be pushed back up the hair shaft every 3/4 months, whereas the bulky weft must be tightened every 3-6 weeks.

Finally, the all important colour match. Get this wrong and it matters not if you've followed all the other given advice. We use as many colours as is necessary to get a perfect match. The hair is hand blended in front of you and guaranteed for three months so no-one will know your wearing them. Many wefts only come in one colour that will totally give the game away.

We all know that straight hair can work perfectly whilst sporting a cocktail dress walking in the cool U.K air. If you're anything like me on holiday keeping that poker straight style can be nothing less than frustrating. Opt for beach waves or tousled locks to improve the look of holiday hair, luckily having hair extensions from wholesale hair vendors in makes this so easy to achieve. Using a U.V filter and proper styling products before you dry your hair will improve its condition and protect from any further heat damage. Tie your hair up and back whilst swimming to avoid tangles and knots. This goes without saying even without extensions in. Pool water can be drying on any hair so if you must get it wet remember to rinse it after. We all want that beach kissed look with our hair skimming our bikini bottoms, this is thankfully now possible with ease.
