How to Make Lace-Front Wigs
Posted by admin | Filed under lace wigs, WIG CARE
Lace front wigs have increased in popularity over recent years. Celebrities have helped spread the popularity of lace front wigs, given that paparazzi always snap pictures of them sporting these wigs. Lace front wigs are very expensive, but give you versatility with hairstyles. Lace front wig hair can be styled using flat and curling irons with the benefit of not damaging any of your own hair. The hair on lace front wigs can also be color treated to match whatever shade of hair color you desire.
Instructions
1. Measure the dimensions of your head from all angles. Measure the circumference of your head from the hairline to the nape of the neck and across the crown of your head from ear to ear.
2. Wrap your hair tightly with plastic cling wrap to create a plastic hair cap. Draw a dotted black line all around your natural hairline on the plastic hair cap.
3. Stick strapping tape all over the hair cap. Create a mold of your scalp by using several layers of strapping tape. Strapping tape is stronger than regular tape and the filaments in the tape will help hold the shape of your head better.
4. Lift the mold gently off your head and place it on a wig block. Trace the outline of your hairline onto the wig block, following the lines of your mold. Place a piece of wig lace over the wig block and cut the lace to fit the shape of your outline. Leave an extra 2 inches of lace at the front of the hairline. This will be trimmed during the final wig fitting. Pin the edges of the lace to the wig block.
5. Take the real or synthetic hair out of its packaging. Lay the hair in between the teeth of the hackle, a large barbed comb and quickly pull the hair through the teeth. The hackle will fine comb the hair to blend and straighten it.
6. Place the hair in between two drawing mats. The drawing mats hold the hair in place and allow you to easily draw hair out as you sew the hair onto the lace wig cap.
7. Pull a small section of hair, no more than 1/4 inch wide, out from the drawing mats and fold over in half. Ventilate the hair through the lace cap by taking the needle through the lace and pulling a few strands of hair from your separated section back through the lace cap and securing them onto the cap with a knot. The knot is tied by folding over the root end of the hair so it makes a loop and passing the body of the hair through it.
8. Sew the hair beginning at the bottom of the lace cap, in the area that would fit over the nape of the neck. Sew the hair across the cap, from side to side. Fill each hole in the lace cap by individually sewing the strands of hair into them. Filling each hole in the lace cap will give your wig a more natural look.
9. Continue sewing the hair onto the lace cape until you arrive at the front of the hairline. Sew the hair at the front of the hairline one strand of hair at a time for a more natural look. Cut away the extra lace at the front of the hairline to follow the exact lines of the natural hairline at the final fitting. Use bobby pins or a lace wig adhesive to secure the wig in place and style as desired.

How to Make Wigs Look Real
Posted by admin | Filed under lace wigs, WIG CARE
Nothing is more embarrassing than having everyone around you realize that you’re wearing a wig. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ve chosen a bad one: Even the most natural-looking wig can look unrealistic if you don’t know how to wear it well, if you’re uncomfortable wearing a particular wig, or if it doesn’t suit you. A few easy steps, though, can help ensure that your wig always looks realistic.
Instructions
1. Trim and shape your wigs to make them as flattering as possible, which will also make them more realistic. For the most realistic effect, leave this to a professional. Check with a wig shop to see if they offer this service or can recommend someone who does. If not, call high-end salons to see if any of the stylists have experience with wigs.
2. Dust your wig with talcum powder if it’s excessively shiny, which often happens with less expensive synthetics. Lightly apply the powder with a brush or powder puff, then shake out the wig. It should now have a more natural sheen.
3. Wear a stocking or wig cap over your hair when you wear a wig. This holds your hair in place so it won’t slip out and destroy the illusion of the wig. Distribute your hair evenly under the stocking or cap to ensure that you have no unnatural-looking bumps under the wig.
4. Attach the wig firmly. The way you attach it depends upon the type of wig you have, and on your preference. The two most common methods involve using either bobby pins or wig-adhesive tape to hold the wig in place.
5. Comb your wig into place once it’s firmly attached. If you need to hold the style or correct flyaway hair, use wig-styling spray, rather than hairspray.
6. Add a hair scarf or another accessory if your wig still doesn’t look realistic to you. Sometimes, a wig doesn’t look realistic because of the wearer’s body language. Often, simply adding an accessory is enough to make you feel comfortable in your wig, which will make it seem more realistic.
7. Take care of your wig to keep it looking real. A polystyrene wig stand will help your wig retain its shape when you’re not wearing it. Ask the wig maker what products and styling tools will work on your wig, and also inquire into the best method of washing it.

How to Twist Hair – Step by Step Two Strand Twist Tutorial
Posted by admin | Filed under WIG CARE
This is a finished two strand twist hairstyle. It was created on freshly washed and conditioned natural hair without extensions.
Before beginning to twist, damp hair was prepped with Carol’s Daughter Khoret Amen Hair Oil and allowed to air dry about 90%. A common question newbies have is “Should you twist on wet or dry hair?” The answer is really up to you and may require experimentation on wet, damp, nearly dry and completely dry hair. You’ll find that you get various results depending on what you start with.
It’s up to you to choose the size of each twist section; just make sure they’re as uniform as possible. While a rat-tail comb is useful for creating nice, even parts, you may find using your fingers to make parts easier once you get used to this method. These parts don’t need to be exact, but if you want to make them very neat around the front of your head, pull the comb out then.
I finger comb each individual twist section before twisting, while also using a holding agent. Here, I’m working Organic Root Stimulator Lock & Twist Gel through each section to provide a light, non-sticky hold.
Divide the section of hair into two parts. Try to make them as even as possible. If they’re not even all the way down, you may run out of hair on one section and have to borrow from the other section.
To begin a twist, simply twist each section of hair around the other. You can do this in a hand-over-hand movement, but as you get proficient, you won’t need to move your hands as much; you’ll find you can twist just by moving your fingers to twist the hair.
Continue working your way down the section of hair, twisting in the same direction. This may differ depending on whether you’re right-handed or left-handed. You don’t have to twist each section going the same direction, however; when you work near your hairline, you may want to direct the twists back, in which case you should twist away from your face. If you want your twists to fall to the front, twist them toward your face.
Try to maintain an even tension as you twist the hair. That makes the difference between twists that will hold easily vs. twists that easily unravel or look uneven. This may take practice, so don’t worry if your tension isn’t right the first time.
Work all the way to the ends of the hair. You can put a dab of oil and/or a holding agent on the ends for additional hold — this will help if your ends are very dry. When you reach the end, hold the ends firmly between two fingers and gradually release the pressure so that the twist will loosen and settle on its own.
Depending on your tension and whether your hair was wet or dry when you began to twist, your twists may be skinny or more puffy. One of the reasons the two strand twist style works better on natural hair than relaxed hair is that curly or coily ends will hold themselves in place without much help (if any). With straight hair, the ends will unravel because they don’t have anything to “grip” onto.
If your hair is relaxed, you can try twist extensions to see how you look in them and if you like the look.
A finished two strand twist hairstyle.
Twists can last anywhere from one to a few weeks. You can definitely shampoo them without having to undo them — just concentrate on cleansing your scalp and don’t manipulate the twists too much.
Twists will probably puff up as they age and there’s nothing wrong with that. You may find a few needing re-twisting here and there, but they should hold up as an overall style that’s protective, low maintenance and low-manipulation.
Besides this simple and basic loose style, twists lend themselves to several other variations, including ponytails, twist outs and updos, so once you master making your twists, you can create many other hairstyles from the same set.

Caring for a curly lace front wig can prove to be a challenge in some cases. Nevertheless, this is not saying that it is not possible. You just need the expertise to know how to do it properly is all. The first rule of thumb is to know that the hair that is used in curly lace front wigs is not naturally curly as a rule. The hair on your curly lace front wig has to be chemically treated with a perm in order to achieve the curly/ wavy effect.
Women who buy curly lace front wigs desire for the hair to stay in place and be frizz-free. However, many times they wet it down too much and apply hair products such as mousses, etc. Doing this allows them to maintain the look they want in the morning. However, as the day progresses, their hair suddenly has a poof and frizzies show up. Therefore, how to care for your lace front wig is:
Make sure your hair is clean
Purchase a wig that is light in density
Make sure there are no tangles before you shampoo
Only use shampoos that are gentle and have low ph balance
Let your wig hair air-dry on its own

Caring for Hair
Posted by admin | Filed under WIG CARE
How you take care of your hair depends on the type of hair you have, your lifestyle, and how you style your hair.
Your hair type. People with dry, curly hair have different hair care needs than people with straight, fine hair. But all hair needs to be treated gently, especially when it’s wet. Wet hair can stretch, making it more vulnerable to breakage or cuticle damage. That’s why using a hot blow-dryer (or other heat styling products) on very wet hair can damage it.
Some people find that their hair gets oily in their teen years. That’s because the hair follicles contain sebaceous glands that make sebum, which moisturizes the hair and skin. During adolescence, the sebaceous glands may become overactive, producing more oil than needed. As with acne, oily hair is usually a temporary part of puberty.
Many teens care for oily hair by washing it once a day — or more if they’re active. As long as you treat your hair gently when it’s wet, frequent washing shouldn’t harm it. If you have acne, it’s a good idea to keep the hair around your face clean so hair oils don’t clog your pores.
If you’re washing your hair every day or more, it may be better to choose a mild shampoo instead of a shampoo designed for oily hair. For some people — especially people with fine, fragile, or combination hair (hair that’s oily at the crown but dry on the ends) — shampoos for oily hair can be too harsh. If you have oily hair and want to use a conditioner, choose one that’s made for oily hair.
If your hair is dry, it’s a good idea to wash it less frequently. Some people only need to wash their hair once a week — and that’s fine. Many people who have curly hair also have dry hair. Curly and dry hair types are usually more fragile than straight hair, so you’ll need to be especially careful about using heat styling products. Shampoos made for dry hair and hair conditioners can help.
