Celebrities have adopted Clip In Bangs as the newest ‘must have’ for hair. Clip on bangs are a great way to try a new hairstyle without committing to cutting your own hair. Cutting bangs can be a big commitment because hair takes a while to grow out you may be stuck with bangs for many months. They are easy to use and hassel free, just bend the clip to snap open and shut.

Clip in bangs are not only fast and easy to apply but they require very little maintenance. Most clip in bangs on the market are made with heat resistant synthetic fiber. This is a great option for a woman on budget who wants to try a new look without a large financial commitment. Remy or Human hair clip in bangs are also available on the market for a woman who wants to invest a little more money in something that will look more natural and also last longer.

U-Part Lace Wigs:

are revolutionary new way to get the look of a “sew in” at a fraction of the time and cost.  For those who are not familiar with this type of wig,  a U-part wig is simply a modified half or 3/4 wig that is created with a “U” Shape cut out on the crown allowing the wearer to leave out a small section of their own hair through the semi-circular U-Shaped opening . The opening allows you to use your own hair to create a natural looking part. Many say u-part wigs are a cross between a weave & a wig where you get the best of both worlds.

U-part Lace Wigs come with combs and adjustable straps for secure fit. This allows for an easy and fast application.

Many of us love wearing lace wigs, however how does wearing lace wigs on a regular basis affect our hairline and edges? I have been wearing lace wigs for some time now and have found that lace wigs can thin your hairline if proper care is not taken. Below are a few things you can do to keep your hairline intact.

1. Take care during application: When applying the lace wig, make sure you are not placing the glue too close to your hair line. Doing so can cause hair thinning along the hairline when used without care. If you are using tape, cut the wide tape strips into thinner strips so that the tapes is as far away as possible from your hair line. The one thing I will stress is that the longer you want to keep your wig on without reapplying, the greater the risk for damage to your hairline. I really do not recommend applications longer than 2weeks at a time. So, that’s bad news for those of you who want 4weeks plus of hold.

2. Proper Removal: A rushed removal process can cause the hair to be pulled out when you remove your wig. Use an oil based adhesive remover such as the C-22 Solvent. Spray across the hairline and leave it on for 10 minutes or more to allow the solvent to soften the adhesive. Gently remove without pulling.

3. Wear Glueless Lace wigs: Now you can buy full lace wigs that have adjustable straps and combs allowing you to wear the  your lace wig without adhesive or tape. For those of you with already thin hairlines, Glueless Full lace Wigs are a better alternitive.

4. Give your hairline a break: From time to time i give my hairline a break and hang up my lace wigs for a couple of months. Summer time is a good time to take a lace wig break. As you we all know, lace wigs do tend to get hot and uncomfortable during the hot summer months. Purchase some Remy Weaving hair and try a new look. This will give your hairline some time to breathe and grow thicker.

With proper use, careful application and removal, and reasonable application periods, you can maintain a healthy hairline and wear a full lace wig.

Ultra Hold Adhesive Review:

Pros: This is the liquid adhesive that everyone raves about (and for good reason). This item is also used in the medical industry. This adhesive has a waterproof, non-yellowing acrylic formula base; and is medical grade. It has a 4-6 week hold. Most of the other adhesives are for 10-14 days. If you are interested in rue extended wear, this is the product for you. This product is a thicker liquid than most other adhesives so it is important to allow proper drying time. We insist on following the manufacturer’s directions with this which is 5-10 minutes. This adhesive removes easily with Lace Release, C-22 or Rapid Release.

Safe Grip Adhesive Review: 

No Shine Super Tape review:

Mastix “P” Spirit Gum Review:

Shedding on a lace wig is to be expected due to the fact that the hair is hand tied by a single knot (sometimes a double knot) to the lace material. Excessive shedding can cause thinning of the hair and bald patches on your unit. To minimize these effects it is very important that proper care be taken at home during combing, styling and everyday use. Below are things to avoid.    

Causes for Shedding Balding/Thinning  

1. Combing your lace wig while it is still wet after washing and conditioning

 2. Roughness while combing and washing/handing your lace wig

3. Using very oily or greasy haircare products on your unit

4. Not thoroughly removing adhesives from your unit prior to washing

5. Using hot or very warm water when washing your unit

6. Combing your wig from root to tip instead of from tip to root.    

 Below are a few maintenance techniques which will help prevent excessive hair shedding.  

 1. Use Knot Sealer- Knot Sealer is a product that comes in small spray bottle that is used to seal the knots on your lace wig. Turn the wig inside out, spray on the mesh or lace and allow it to completely dry before wearing it. It is also important that you Reseal the knots after every wash. Wait for your unit to completely dry before spraying Knots Sealer. Knot Sealer is available in the “Accessories” section of our website.  

2. Do Not Scratch your scalp through your lace wig as this will cause shedding. Instead, pat your head with your hand or remove your unit and treat your scalp with anti-itch shampoo and then moisturize your scalp.   

3. Use a wide tooth comb or wig brush (cushion brush). Comb from the tip up while holding the hair above so that you will avoid pulling at the knots.  

4. Never comb your lace wig while wet. Prior to washing the hair make sure you comb it out thoroughly.  

5. Avoid using care products with high Alcohol content i.e Spritz, Hair Spray, Shampoos etc. These products can damage the hair causing breakage and/or shedding.  

 6. You must thoroughly remove glue residue from our wig. Letting adhesives build up on your unit will cause shedding  

7. Do not Blow Dry or Sit under a dryer with heat. We highly recommend letting your unit air dry after washing. If you must brow dry, make sure it is on a cool

8. When sleeping in your unit it is best to braid up your hair so it does not tangle while you sleep. You should gently comb your unit out each night prior to wrapping it up in the scarf. Also it is very important that you wrap a silk or satin scarf or bonnet around your head, this will help to prevent friction which will cause  breakage and/or shedding.

Ordering on line can be a risk however, lace wigs online are much cheaper than trying to purchase one from a brick and mortar wig store. You can save up to 60% when ordering  Lace Wigs online. When ordering online it is important that you view at least 4 pictures of what you are buying. Make sure you see a picture of

You want to know what you are getting. Also avoid scams from sellers who use images of wigs that do not belong to them. Be sure you do your research before purchasing. There are many fly by night lace wig websites popping up everyday, so make sure the company is professional and legitimate.
