What Is A Lace Wig?

I have decided to answer some of the questions I get asked everyday by buyers of our products especially by men trying to get a surprised gifts for their female partners. A lot of terminologies are used  today about hair that it becomes imperative to try to break it down. The first and most common question I get asked so frequently is What is a Lace Wig? I will answer this and indeed other questions.
"The idea of hair weaves and extensions first came about in the early days of ancient Egypt, where men and woman utilized extensions in their hair to portray a more elegant appearance. By the late 17th century, wigs in various shapes and sizes became a latest fashion trend. Hair weaves in particular, did not grow interest until the 1950s; even during that time celebrities had been the only ones using them. When the “long, disco-haired” era evolved there started to become a widespread of hair weave. Since that era, hair weave has only become more popular."

What is a Lace Wig?
A lace wig is designed and constructed to be the nearest to your natural hair. Hair is undetectable because they are designed with a gauze like lace material which blends into ones skin to give a natural appearance  mimicking  hair growth. It comes in synthetic fibres or human hair. The  full lace wig is fixed using a tape or glue to secure wig whereas the lace front can be worn without having to use a glue or tape.  This is also known as  glue less lace wig. Hair is secured because of inner securing combs inside the wig and  securing back straps . Lace wig is the choice of actors and actresses to portray their roles. Its become the favourite of superstars like Beyonce, Tyra Banks and others. Hair may be ironed or curled depending on the quality of hair. It may also be coloured. It comes in short or longer lengths and in different colours.

What is a Weave Or Hair Extension?
A hair weave is described in the dictionary "As a general term used to describe human or artificial hair used to alter ones natural hair appearance". Hair is sewn into already tracked or plaited head. It could also be applied onto the head using glue as bonding. It could also be clipped on with wig clips to extend hair length. The hair weave comes as synthetic fibre hair or human hair. The weave is favoured by stars like Jordan, Cheryl Cole, Naomi Campbell  and others. When applied by a trained professional, its very difficult to detect especially when fitted with a lace closure.

What is a Weave or Lace Closure?
The lace closure is used with a weave to ensure a perfect closure after fitting. It also comes in synthetic fibre hair or human hair. A perfect closure when secured to the base of the head by attaching it around the perimeter of a weave, mimics natural hairline due to it gauze like base. Parting area blends into the rest of the hair extensions to create a natural look.

Make Your Lace Wig Last

Its my humble opinion that the person who  invented the wig and indeed the lace wig is a genius. Its so liberating being able to change your look as often as you wish without having to spend a fortune at the salon. Even when a woman has healthy luxurious hair, its still pertinent to have a few wigs in your closet for times you want to change your looks.  And if your hair is damaged from the use of too much chemicals, the wig becomes a life saver. I love the idea of being able to change the colour of ones hair to go with the seasons without having to colour your natural hair.

 A ladies hairstyle should reflect the different seasons, just like clothes come in different colours with different seasons, your hair should reflect the mood of the season.  We have had a fairly good weather this Olympic season in the United Kingdom thankfully. Give your hair some attitude to reflect the mood of the season.  A vibrant blonde colour is perfect for hot summer days. Be bold, step out of the dark and get some colours in your hair. The best and most effective way to do this is to invest in great quality lace wig or full wigs with different colours.  Love colours 33 and 30 for summer. For the fainthearted, go for 4 or 1B/30. I also would recommend colours 99J or 350 for that fire reddish look. fabulous.

Now that you have invested in fabulous lace wig , how do you make it last long to get the most of it? Well, one way I recommend is to give your wig a break after each week of wearing it. If you find a style that suits you, get at least three wigs of the same style and change your wig after every week to prevent shedding and tangling. For instance, if you love your wig in colour 2, get a straight and a curly style in the same colour and alternate them. Wearing one wig for more than a week, reduces the life span of that wig. I also recommend not going to bed in your wig. That is why I prefer glue less lace wigs.  Brush your wig everyday with a good wig brush, also give your wig the kiss of life each week
 with a fabulous wig spray. Lastly, leave your wig when not in use on a wig stand.

If your natural hair is damaged, plait your hair whilst wearing a fabulous wig. Your hair is safely tucked away while looking fabulous. The lace wig guarantees an invisible hairline, invest in it. Love and take care of your wig, and it will love you back. Now you can relax that people are looking at you, not your hairline. fabulous.

Its all about you.
