Deborah Rayner asked:


Attaching a front lace wig is not as difficult as it may seem. With just a little practice you will become an expert at dawning your wig and will be able to do it by yourself every time, with no trouble at all. One of the major benefits of a front lace wig is that you can apply it yourself, unlike other types of wigs that require an extra set of hands.

Double sided tape and Liquid Adhesives

The two most common materials used for attaching front lace wigs is double sided tape and liquid adhesive. Both of these products are best applied to bare skin on the scalp or on an area of extreme hair loss or balding. Don’t just use any double sided tape or adhesive though. Rather, you should always use attachment products that are designed and manufactured specifically for this use.

Step One

To apply your front lace wig using tape, first prepare your tape by cutting it into strips of approximately 3 inches in length, by 4 inches in width. Now take one of your pieces of tape and place it on the polyurethane tape patch area, right where the lace front connects to it. The next step is to place the strip on the front hairline where it meets the edge of the lace.

Trim and Contour

Now firmly apply pressure, so it is held down in place. Now repeat the procedure until you have attached the entire front edge of the lace to the wig itself. Also, remember to apply adequate pressure to the wig each time that you apply your tape strips. As you move around your head with the tape strips, you will find yourself having to do some tape trimming, so the end finished work contours to the shape of your head.

Deborah Rayner asked:


There are two basic methods for attaching your lace wig and they are with tape and with glue. Which method that you end up preferring can depend on a number of variables, including whether or not your skin is sensitive to either glue or tape. Both glue and tape methods also require other items that are used in conjunction with the glue and the tape, so you will need more then simply the glue and the tape.

Small Medium and Large Wig Adhesive Kits

The lace wig adhesive kit is one option to take that may be the perfect solution to your problems. There are a few different levels of kits starting with the smaller kit that fulfills you basic needs. The larger deluxe lace wig kits, on the other hand, will have everything that you need and is your personal guarantee that you will never be caught without something that you absolutely need to properly attach or maintain your wig.

Everything that You Need

It is important to remember that there is more to properly attaching your wig with glue then just pouring glue on it and sticking it on your head. For instance, scalp protector pre adhesive is used to insure that your scalp itself doesn’t become irritated with constant use. Also, you will need conditioner to treat the hair on the wig, or it will eventually begin to show signs of degradation.

Both Types of Adhesives

All of the lace wig adhesive kits that are available on line now come with handy carrying cases that make it so easy to keep everything that you need for your wig in one place and ready to go. Also, the complete wig adhesive kits contain both water and solvent soluble types of adhesives, so you gave your choice of either one, depending  on your particular circumstances.

First, let’s examine your lifestyle. Questions you will need to answer about your lifestyle and habit are, “Are you moderately active or sedentary?” and “How much time are you willing to devote to maintenance and hair styling?” When looking at the various types of lace wigs available, we become a child in a candy store. During this, habits are forgotten. We fall in love with a fairy tale of possibilities such as falling in love with extremely long hair when we will only have time to maintain medium length hair. Answering these questions help push our desires closer to practicality.

The two most common lace wig bases are lace and polyurethane (thin skin). Polyurethane wigs give the greatest realism of hair growing directly from your scalp. The drawback to selecting polyurethane for your lace wig base is that it does not allow your scalp to breath. There are no holes in this material. When your skin sweats, there is no moisture escape. If you are moderately active, live in a warm or hot climate, this could become uncomfortable.

Lace bases allow the scalp to breath but are delicate. There are three types of lace bases, French, Swiss and Real Invisi® (made exclusively by LaceLocs.com). French lace is made with larger squares and a thicker lace material. Swiss lace is made from a sheer lace material that is slightly thinner in fabric thickness than French and has smaller squares. French and Swiss lace are both good for moderate to highly active lifestyles. Both are great for short term wear. However, French is recommended for new lace wig wearers and those with rugged hands. Real Invisi® is an ultra sheer lace fabric that is extremely fragile. Designed for photography sessions and studio lights, next to Polyurethane (thin skin) wigs, Real Invisi® wigs give a superior appearance of growing directly from the scalp. This lace type is intended for special occasions and not suited for everyday wear. Hair style defines curly, straight, or wavy. The easiest way to decide between the three is to reflect upon your habit. If you are accustomed to wearing your hair straight daily with infrequent changes to curly or wavy, purchasing a lace wig with straight hair is the best option. This will save you time each day in styling. On the other hand, if you are ready for a new you, the opposite of your habit may prove exciting and rejuvenating! Hair length can be like eating on a full stomach. Just like when ordering another plate of food when you can eat only one bite more, “sometimes your eyes may be bigger than your belly”. Keep in mind that less is more. Longer hair requires more maintenance and is subject to tangle easily. Even though the hair on lace wigs may be cut in various styles where length is decreased, why pay for what you will not use? Generally, the length of hair increases the price of a lace wig. It is recommended to purchase what your habit and lifestyle will allow you to maintain.

There are several more options to consider when buying a lace wig. However, the three decisions of base, hair style and length are the ones most people linger on the most. This is due to a lack of lace wig construction familiarity. Now that you understand the three major decisions, you are well on your way to picking your best lace wig to fit your lifestyle.

Benedict Smythe asked:


Alopecia areata is a medical condition wherein hair, most commonly on the scalp is lost. This often occurs either in spots or in larger patterns.

Causes

Alopecia areata is a condition resulting from a defect in the body’s immune system. The disease is autoimmune, a condition wherein the body’s immune system and immune cells attack the other cells in the body. In alopecia areata, immune cells attack and destroy its own hair follicles resulting in diminished hair growth and subsequent baldness.

The condition is inherited and the gene responsible for it has been mapped to be found on chromosome 8. The inherited gene, with the interplay of environmental stressor such as pathogens or emotional stress can all contribute to the development of the disease. It is sometimes linked with other autoimmune diseases like systemic lupus erythematuos, vitiligo and rheumatoid arthritis.

Patterns

The most common pattern on the disease is the spotted appearance. As such, this has been known as spot baldness.

Diffuse alopecia areata happens when the entire head hair experiences general thinning. No accentuated areas of baldness can be distinguished.

When all the hair in the scalp is lost, the condition is called alopecia areata totalis. This condition rarely occurs.

The most severe of the patterns is hair loss in the entire body, including eyebrows and even pubic area. This condition, like alopecia areata totalis rarely occurs.

Affected Population

The condition usually occurs in the younger adults, teenagers and children. Adults and toddlers can also be affected.

Diagnosis

Bald spots can be seen immediately in the scalp and beard area. This spots may come in a variety of shapes. These areas may have painful of tingling sensations.

A characteristic feature of alopecia areata is an exclamation point hair. Areas of hair loss has this kind of hair which may be seen thin near the scalp thus looking like an exclamation point.

Scalp biopsy is the most certain diagnostic feature of alopecia. However, it is seldom necessary especially if other diagnostic features have been identified.

Treatment

Almost half of the patients with alopecia areata have hair regrowth within a year even without medical treatment. The probability of hair regrowth decreases when the period of time a person has experienced hair loss has been very long. Creams and shampoos containing fluocinonide or clobestasol have been used to improve the condition. Other medications include minoxidil and cyclosporine have been used singly or combined.

Recently, aromatherapy oils have been shown to have positive effects on patients with alopecia areata. Aromatherapy essential oils like thyme, lavender and rosemary have promising effects.

No single treatment has been found to cure alopecia. This is especially true since the mechanism of the disease has not yet been fully elucidated. Prevention cannot be identified also because of the said reason.

Prognosis

Patients with minimal hair loss due to alopecia, or those with smaller spots before treatment usually get better and experience hair regrowth. However, those with severe hair loss prior to treatment have less likely chances of hair regrowth. This may unfortunately lead to alopecia areata totalis or alopecia areata universalis. The patients face the effects of alopecia which may be psychological or emotional stress.

Custom-made lace wig is your best bet to looking great. You can choose to have any A style, colour and hair type that you prefer. It is almost like choosing your clothes and accessories for a grand event.

However, there are a few essential points you have to know to order that perfect front lace unit.

Know your head shape

Different wigs suit different head shapes. Check yours. Is your head pear-shaped, round, square, heart-shaped, oblong or oval? If you are not sure, stand in front of the mirror and take a good look at your face. Sketch what you see to help you decide. Try on dummy wigs to see what suits you best. Don’t go by the modelled wigs, it may not be the best ones for you.

Measure your head

You can choose to do this on your own or get help. Get the measurement 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.

Choose your hair type

Custom wigs are available in human hair, synthetic and blend of both human and synthetic. You have to decide what you prefer. This depends on your original hair texture as well. Keep it as close to the original so that it does not look like a fake. Remember, a wig can be stylish and in keeping with trends without looking unnatural.

Choose your hairstyle

Do you want it straight, curly, wavy, in ringlets? You can have any style you want. Go ahead and experiment.

Choose your hair colour

What’s your preference? Is it blonde or black? Or do you think a hint of red will look great? You decide on this one as well.

Decide on hair density.

This would depend on your hair length, colour and type. Normal density is between 80-100 % for a full lace wig. Especially for those suffering with hair loss you can get a wig with thick hair instead.

Choose a base for your wig

You can decide on Swiss lace or French lace with the former being more delicate and the latter more durable.

Decide on the adhesive.

This is used to attach the unit to your scalp. Choices range from glues and tapes depending on your preference.

Now that you have done all this, go ahead order your lace front unit.

The best part of custom-made wigs is that you can order multiple wigs at one go. You have the choice of creating different looks to suit different occasions. Can it get any better than that?

Want a change? Don’t buy that bottle of hair dye or self-perming kit just yet. Hairpieces are becoming more and more popular as a healthier, quicker, and easier option for changing your hair and your look. Celebrities have been using hair extensions, clip-on hairpieces, and full wigs for years-and you can, too! Here are just a few popular trends in wigs and hairpieces that anyone can follow.

Hair extensions add length without the wait. Hair extensions are one of Hollywood’s best-kept secrets. Many of those gorgeous, perfectly wavy, sun-kissed tresses on movie stars and models aren’t real-they’re hair extensions. These are a great way to add length quickly, and are starting to get popular at weddings and for formal parties. Glued-in extensions are not always easy on your hair and can take about three hours to apply, and they can also get expensive-so they’re usually used for special occasions only.

Clip-ons are perfect for a quick change. Clip-on hairpieces are much easier to apply than glued-in hair extensions. The cheapest are made of synthetic hair, and can be applied in a variety of shades. Pricier versions are made of human hair and can be dyed to match your color. Clip-on hair is often incorporated into ponytails and updo’s for the most natural looks.

Wigs and parties-the new trends. Ever since Jessica Simpson wore a red wig to the NCLR ALMA awards, wigs have been getting press at celebrity events and parties. They’re becoming stylish party attire, and with good reason: a wig is an excellent way to change your look for a formal party-you can choose any color you want, without damaging your hair. Wigs are also easier to wear than glue-on hair extensions.

Wigs and weddings-the perfect match. This year’s wedding fashion includes long, free-flowing hair with a hint of delicate curl. For many style conscious brides, the flowing curls just aren’t possible by the wedding date. Women with short hair are incorporating hairpieces into their wedding look more and more. Lace front wigs are especially popular. These are wigs with a delicate lace base near the hairline that is undetectable, providing an extremely natural look and stunning hair. The back of the wig has a more traditional wig cap, also undetectable under a veil.

Weaves for long-term styles. If you want a long-term change, a weave is often the way to go. Real or synthetic human hair is woven into your natural hair, which is often braided into tiny cornrows. Human hair is more desirable than synthetic, because it looks more natural and won’t melt when subjected to the heat from a hair dryer or curling iron.

Hairpieces are an excellent way to give yourself a dramatic change in look-without putting your hair through a damaging dyeing or perming process. Once associated with illness and hair loss, wigs and hairpieces are quickly growing in mainstream popularity-and are becoming seen on many people, young and older, just looking for a stunning change in look. One of celebrity’s best-kept beauty secrets for years, millions of women are now turning to hairpieces for those one-of-a-kind looks for special occasions-and the freedom to change their hair quickly and easily.

Deborah Rayner asked:


If you watch TV at all, then perhaps you may have noticed how great all the celebrities hair now looks when thy appear for their performances. Have you noticed how many African American performers, such as Tyra Banks and Beonce now have beautiful long straight hair? How can they do this, month after month, when hair straightening actually damages the hair? Why doesn’t their hair eventually show the effects of so many straightening treatments?

Quality Lace Wigs

The reason is simple and that is that they are wearing wigs and not just any type of wig either. They are wearing quality lace wigs. When a lot of people think of a wig, they think of elastic banded wigs that they have seen people wearing at Halloween parties. They look good from 20 feet away, but as soon as you get up close, they look horrible.

A Far Better Head of Hair

With a lace wig, the hair and the the attachment mechanism are in two separate pieces and this allows for a far better product. For one thing, the wig can be parted naturally any way that the person wearing it prefers. Even upon close inspection of the scalp of the wig, it is virtually indistinguishable from a real head of hair. Also, because the lace wig is permanently attached to the scalp with glue or tape, there is no chance of slipping.

Top Quality

A top quality human hair lace wig can cost up to $20,000 but they also cone in a wide range of prices. Also, because lace wigs are now available through a number of sources on the Internet, there are good deals out there on perfectly great high quality lace wigs. This means that now there are more options then ever before for people to chose from when they want to look their absolute best.
