    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.

    How to Wash a Full Lace Wig


    It is extremely important to familiarize yourself with the texture of your full lace wig. Use products that work well with your unit’s texture! Products you use on your own hair type may not work well on your full lace wig.

    Step 1

    Before washing your full lace wig, brush gently, or use a detangling comb from the tips of the wig to the base/roots. Never begin combing at the top or middle, this will damage and tangle the unit.

    Step 2

    Place your full lace wig on a Styrofoam wig head and use T Pins to secure.

    Step 3

    In a spray bottle, mix a capful of shampoo and fill the remaining with cool water. It is important to choose a shampoo that is suitable for your full lace wig’s texture. Products that may work well are Silicon Mix, Nearly Natural, Ionix, Dove Moisture Intense, Nexxus, Aveda, Paul Mitchell etc

    Step 4

    Place your full lace wig on the Styrofoam head under a gentle stream of cool water. Pour or spray the shampoo mixture evenly over the wig and use a wide tooth rounded end comb to distribute the shampoo. Remember to always comb starting at the ends of the hair to the roots.

    Step 5

    Rinse the unit thoroughly on the wig head using a gentle stream of cool water.

    Step 6

  • Step by Step Guide on How to Order your Customized Front Lace Wig

    Tabitha Mwendo asked:


    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?
