The Liquid Adhesive Method:
Apply liquid adhesive to your scalp, in front of your natural hairline, using either your finger, which may provide the best control and coverage for some wearer, or a flat cosmetic stick.
Do not use Q-tips as the fibers will bond to the adhesive.
Follow the manufacturer\’s instructions regarding cure times.
Optional: Put a wig cap on to better protect your own hair.
Begin by lightly applying the liquid adhesive, around the perimeter of your hairline.
When applying the liquid adhesive to the nape area, drop your chin to your chest, so that when wearing your full lace wig, when you look down, it won\’t lift or tug your skin.
Allow the liquid adhesive to dry completely, until it is clear in appearance and tacky to the touch.
Then pull the hair of the full lace wig into a firm knot at the crown while the hair unit is on a wig head.Sprits with water to tame flyways.
Place the lace edge of the full lace wig, on the skin of your forehead,along your natural hairline, press firmly and use a fine teeth comb to push back the baby hair .
Continue to adjust the lace of the full lace wig around the whole perimeter of your hairline working from the forehead to the sides of your head down to the nape area.
Note:When applying the lace of the full lace wig to the nape area, drop your chin to your chest, when you reach the nape area,then press the lace firmly .

Celebrity Lace Front Wigs
Posted on October 28th, 2009 No commentsLevetta Rivera asked:
What do Beyonce, Tyra Banks, Ashanti, Jennifer Lopez and Gwen Stefani have in common? They all were lace front wigs. Celebrity lace front wigs are the newest rage in modern hair replacement. We refer to these hair replacement units as “celebrity” lace front wigs because so many celebrities wear them. When applied properly the lace blends into the wig wearer’s skin and is virtually undetectable to the eye even upon close scrutiny. The lace creates an invisible hairline which gives the appearance that the hair from the wig is actually growing out of the wearer’s scalp. The result is no one will know that you are wearing a wig unless you tell them. Lace front wigs are the most realistic looking wigs on the market. They are constructed with very thin French or Swiss lace thus the name lace front wig. For a long time, lace front wigs were only available to the Hollywood elite, but, the secret is out and these wigs are now available for purchase by the general public. This means you too can have gorgeous and glamorous hair just like your favorite celebrity.
Celebrity lace front wigs can have a cap construction that is either: 100% lace, monofilament or polyurethane. The 100% lace cap is the most popular. 100% lace means the entire wig cap is made of lace. Of the two lace types used in the construction process the “French” lace is the most popular and most commonly used. The design of the French lace material is similar to a “window screen” in which you have very small holes. The wig hair is then hand tied to this lace mesh strand by strand. It is a tedious process. Monofilament Wig Caps are the second most popular wig caps used for making celebrity lace front wigs. The material of these caps is similar to “women’s pantyhose material” with very tiny holes so close together that it looks like skin when bonded to skin. Polyurethane Wig Caps also have a very natural looking front hairline area but tend to hold heat which can be very uncomfortable in hot climates, as such, these wigs are not as popular as the French/Swiss Lace and Monofilament Lace front Wigs.
Celebrity lace front wigs are generally very high quality expensive wigs. They are extremely safe and when worn correctly will not damage your hair and hairline the way weaves and extensions can. These wigs are highly in vogue because of their naturalism and versatility. They are extremely durable and can be worn at different occasions and under diverse weather conditions. Lace front wigs are available in a wide range of designs, styles, colors, lengths, and sizes and can be customized to fit your unique head dimensions. Unlike regular wigs, a lace front wig can be parted in any direction which means you have endless styling options. You can find a wide array of custom and celebrity style lace front wigs from shops that specialize in these hair systems. It may be difficult to find suppliers of these wigs in your local area unless you live in or near a large metropolitan area. If that is the case there are many places online to buy lace front wigs. Just make sure you do your homework to insure that you are making your purchase from a reputable and legitimate lace front wig shop retailer. -

Your Hair Care Routine - Tips
Posted on October 11th, 2009 No commentsJuliet Cohen asked:
Head the crown of the body, if not covered by beautiful thick hair spoils the entire look of a person. So looking after hair or hair care is as important as looking after any other part of the body. As one keeps a daily routine to clean the body, hair too should be cleaned the same way. Longer the hair more care they require. As dust and dirt sticks on hair they require more care when it comes to cleaning and it should be in one’s daily routine. Hair is the crown of the body. It does not matter how beautiful you are if you neglect your hair. Like skin hair too is different type as normal, dry and oily and as the skin has different complexion, hair have different texture as straight, curly or wavy.
First of all eating healthy nutritional food rich of iron and protein is must for healthy hair. A balanced diet is good and must for the entire body. Such hair requires advanced care. One should wash hair properly with a good shampoo, which is their hair type as for dry hair a shampoo that is specially made for dry hair should be used. Wash the hair thoroughly; no traces of shampoo or conditioner should be left on the hair or scalp. Although brushing is less damaging than combing but a soft brush does not cause more damage to hair than a comb. Prolonged brushing can also harm the hair. Back combing also damages the hair. It causes knotting which is very difficult to untangle. Oil massage is very useful for the hair. It improves the blood circulation and helps the hair grow so it should be done at least once in a weak. Oil should be left on the scalp overnight and hair should be shampooed the next morning.
Coconut and olive oil are very good to use for hair massage but if one wants one can even mix them in equal proportion and use. A mixture of olive oil and castor oil is very useful for dry, falling hair. Shampoo and conditioner can be used daily if necessary, but if you feel that your hair needs an extra boost, you may also want to consider adding a hot oil treatment or hair mask to your hair care routine. Dry hair tends to be thin and rough.It is susceptible to tangles, damage, breakage and split ends. Good hair care should be started at home. With proper care and attention you can restore its vitality and glossy sheen. The primary aim is to replenish the oil and the moisture in the hair.
Here are Ten essential must-dos of great hair care.
1. Use the right hare care products for your specific hair type.
2. Get a trim every 6 to 8 weeks.
3. Use hair care products containing sunscreen.
4. Shampoo your hair only when it is dirty.
5. Turn to a professional for all of your hair care needs.
6. Use professional conditioning hair coloring systems.
7. Stick with one chemical service.
8. Add texture.
9. Choose hair color that compliments your style.
10. Use a wide-toothed comb when your hair is wet. -
Full Lace Wigs - Tips and Tricks
Posted on October 11th, 2009 No commentsMarie Hines asked:
a) Tips and Tricks for Liquid Bonding Adhesives:
Below, a list of helpful tips to help you achieve the strongest and most secure bond possible.
When applying the liquid adhesive, only use thin, even coats. If you are using a brush, use a paint movement with your hand in both directions - horizontal and vertical. If more adhesive is desired, use thin multiple coats, but make sure the previous coat is dry before applying the next coat.
Never try to apply liquid bond directly to a lace system. Instead, apply it on your scalp and place the unit on your head. Always clean and prepare your scalp properly, with skin shield before attaching your full lace wig. Skin shield is a product,that provides a protective barrier against dermal irritation,while enhancing the effectiveness of skin-safe liquid or tape adhesives.
After showering or working out, the bond of your full lace wig will seem like it is weakening, which is expected, then even if your hair system is still attached securely, the bond will soften a bit, due to extra heat and moisture, do not touch the unit then, because as your body cools, the bond will harden again.
Airborne dust, make-up will attach itself to the adhesive in the front and side edges of lace units and may become visible over time. Immediately after a shower is the easiest time to clean this area because the hairpiece adhesive is pliable. Spray a liberal amount of Adjust-a-Bond on the tip of a double folded tissue. Hold your hair back with one hand and wipe the edge of the lace using the saturated tissue with the other hand.
This trick will help keep your lace front and side edges invisible at all times.
b) Tips and Tricks to avoid shedding
Below, a list of helpful tips to avoid excessive shedding.
Some light shedding is normal, however, your full lace wig should not shed anymore then our own hair would.
DO NOT put any hair products that contain a high percentage of alcohol (like some hair spray, spritz, etc…) directly into the hair of your full lace wig. These products will damage the hair and cause excessive shedding).
When going to sleep wearing your full lace wig, always braid up the hair or at least put it in a pony tail so it will not tangle up, while you sleep. Best is for you to wrap a scarf around your head or to wear a hair bonnet, while you are asleep,(see below section: Tips and Tricks to avoid damages while sleeping). This will prevent the hair of your full lace wig from breakage and shedding.
When swimming wearing your full lace wig, keep in mind that chlorine, and salt water can damage the hair of the unit, therefore wear a swim cap or wash your full lace wig after each swim session. NEVER let chlorine and/or salt water stay in the hair of your full lace wig,as it will damage the hair of your unit irreversibly.
Reseal the knots located on the inside of your full lace wig cap, after each and every wash, with some knot sealer. This will strengthen the knots on each hair strand and protect your full lace wig from excessive shedding.
c) Tips and Tricks for Curly, Deep Wave and Wavy Styles
Below, a moisturizer tip for Full lace wigs with a Curly, Deep Wave, Wavy Style.
Wash and rinse your full lace wig gently but thoroughly, then spray until saturation, with a,1/4 Dove Moisturizing Conditioner, 1/4 of Glycerin and 2/4 plain water mixture*. Using a loop brush, brush it into shape. Cover your full lace wig with a hair net, and let it dry on top of a wig head. Once dry and you begin to wear it, you spray lightly with above mixture every 2-3 days or as needed. This will restore the initial shape, bounce and shine of the curls and/or the waves.
*1/3 of Sunsilk Captivating Curls Lotion, 1/3 of glycerin and 1/3 of plain water mixture.
d) Tips and Tricks for a long-lasting full lace wig
The key factor in full lace wig care and maintenance, is to understand that your full lace wig is made of human hair, that is approximately 4 years old. Since hair grows on average a half inch per month, one year equates out to 6 inches. So since on the average 24 inches long hair is used to make a 20 inch unit, it is safe to say, that the hair of your unit has been exposed to the elements a minimum of 4 years, and now that hair has been removed from its nutrient source, to be made into your fabulous full lace wig, care and maintenance become that hair life support.
Five main tools are required to properly care for your full lace wig: Shampoo, Conditioner, a rake, your pillow case and your hair wrap. These are the 5 key players and unfortunately not all options are created equally.
A good rule of thumb for shampoo or conditioner is that if it costs between $10.00 and $20.00 for 8.5 oz then you have the right stuff. Since the shampoo and conditioner are keys to protecting the hair natural oils, these are two items that you will be best to invest into.
Beyond washing your unit, you are going to style it and that is where the Rake comes in. Brushes and combs provide too much tension on the hair and will cause breakage and shedding. Use a Rake or even a Pick and toss the brush and comb and you will reduce greatly the tension put on the hair and the knots while styling your unit and therefore your full lace wig will last longer.
e) Tips and Tricks to avoid damages of your full lace wig while sleeping
Below a tip that is essential when asleep while wearing your hair unit
If you are wearing your full lace wig to bed, you must choose to follow those sleep habits, to avoid damaging the hair of your unit.
Use a wrap. Having the hair wrapped in a satin or silk wrap will reduce frictions on your unit when you move your head in your sleep. Also use a pillow case in satin or silk. The key here is that the pillow case MUST be the same material as your wrap. If your hair is wrapped in satin, have a satin pillow case. If the hair is wrapped in silk, have a silk pillow case. This will reduce greatly the tension and resistance between the two fabrics, avoid the occasional breakage and allows the hair to remain protected, while you sleep.
f) Tips and Tricks for cold temperature
Below, a tip to keep the hair of your full lace wig beautiful and strong
Cold temperature, specially dry cold weather can damage, tangle and in some cases damage your hair unit irreversibly. Luckily, there are fantastic products on the market that can protect your hair from harsh drying climates. Hair Conditioning treatments, Hair Damage Repair kit , are an excellent for replenishing and protecting the hair of your full lace wig. Whichever brand your choose to use on your hair unit, it is ESSENTIAL that you make sure, that the product is free from alcohol.
Whenever the hair of your full lace wig is a bit dry or if you want to ensure it will be protected from the elements follow these simple steps:
1. Remove hair unit and wash gently.
2. Apply a Hair Damage Repair or another high end conditioning treatment formulated for hair moisture replenishment. Do NOT use protein enriched conditioners.
3. Put your full lace wig in a plastic bag and place in a warm area of your home. Do NOT microwave or apply direct heat, as it will damage your unit.
4. Allow the bag to sit for 24 hours, then remove and rinse hair thoroughly in lukewarm water and allow to air dry.
If you are wearing your hair unit full time, repeat this process every three weeks. Beware! There is a such thing as too much moisture and you want to maintain the human hair average natural ph levels as much as possible.

A Lace Front Wig Can Help You Look Like A Model!
Posted on October 10th, 2009 No commentsLevetta Rivera asked:
You often see fashion magazines featuring fascinating models with beautiful hair in gorgeous shades of ebony, blonde and brown, but what many don’t know is that most of these beautiful models aren’t actually posing with their natural hair but rather they are wearing lace front wigs. You too can look as fascinating as these models with the addition of a lace front wig to your beauty arsenal. Lace front wigs are hair wigs made of real or synthetic hair designed to be worn for fashion aesthetic and stylistic reasons, or to hide alopecia or balding. These wigs are very popular among celebrities and models and the general public is catching on fast.
Lace front wigs are called this because they are constructed by sewing hair onto an invisible lace base that is custom cut perfectly to the wig wearer’s hairline. These wigs are the most natural looking wigs on the market today. They are perfectly shaped and very light weight. When worn correctly, no-one will be able to tell that you are wearing a wig as these hair units boast an invisible hairline which gives off the appearance that the wig hair is actually growing from your scalp. Lace front wigs really offer you a natural and original look which is why they are immensely popular, and if you are losing your hair, they offer an excellent hair replacement solution. In addition, unlike weaves, fusion, strand-by-strand, and many other popular hair extension methods that can damage your hair and natural hairline, lace front wigs are completely safe.
Another great feature of lace front wigs is that you can style them easily. Do you remember the popular lengthy curls of Jessica Simpson, or the silky straight look of Beyonce? These styles can be achieved with a lace front wig… as a matter of fact the styling possibilities are unlimited. You can truly get the hair that you have always desired. Lace front wigs can also be worn under diverse weather conditions. You can even take a shower or go swimming with the wig on. Next to the fact that these hair units are virtually undetectable, their versatility and durability are key factors that make people fall for them.
Lace front wigs are not cheap. A well made high quality lace wig unit constructed with 100% human Indian hair will range in price from $500 to $3000 plus. You may be able to find retailers selling them for less than $500 but they are usually of a sub-par quality and you should proceed with caution because as the saying goes you get what you pay for. Even though these wigs are on the expensive side, they still may prove to be more economical in the long run to those who normally visit the hair salon every 2 weeks or every month for a relaxer, perm or touch-up.
Lace front wigs are available in a wide range of colors and textures such as straight, wavy, body wave or curly. These wigs come in any length ranging from short crop to super long. The majority of people who purchase these wigs get them custom made to fit their exact head measurements. If you order a custom lace front wig unit you should expect to wait 4-6 weeks on average to receive your wig. Some lace front wig retailers do offer non-custom stock units in a variety of different measurements, but if it is your first time buying a lace front wig, it is not recommended that you buy a stock unit unless you are actually able to try the wig on first to insure that it fits perfectly. When you spend several hundred dollars on a wig you deserve a perfect fit! A custom lace front wig unit tailored to your exact head measurements in which you choose the color, highlights, length, hair texture, hair density, lace type and more is worth the wait!
So, whether you are just looking to improve your hair style and looks, or if you suffer from hair loss due to any reason and need a hair replacement solution… you should consider investing in a lace front wig. You should know that, unless you live in a major city, you may have a hard time finding a lace front wig dealer in your local area because even though these wigs are gaining in popularity, they are still pretty exclusive due to their high end price tag. If there are no lace front wig dealers in your area you are still in luck as there are numerous online wig stores selling an extensive range of these wigs. As with any online purchase you should be very selective when choosing who to buy from to avoid getting scammed. Make sure that the establishment list a contact phone number and address.
