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.

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.

It’s a common misconception in the world of fashion and beauty that you have to pay top dollar in order to get a quality product and look your best, which certainly isn’t the case. While buying makeup from a secondhand shop or choosing your wardrobe from sidewalk sales at antique stores won’t score you any fashion points, you don’t need to go to these extremes to save money. The key is to seek out quality products at discount prices.

Take cheap lace wigs for instance. Although these wigs may be cheap, they’re still constructed with real Remy hair and quality materials. The price is low because of an economical design that requires less lace, not because the manufacturer skimped on the materials or production. Remember: quality and affordability aren’t mutually exclusive.

Lace front wigs are ideal for women on a budget in need of a stylish and affordable wig. Because lace is only on the front of the cap, these wigs cost much less to manufacture than their full lace counterparts. This allows the makers to use premium Indian Remy hair and other quality materials while still keeping the price low.

If you’re worried about your front lace wig fitting properly, don’t be; the cap often comes with adjustable straps to help you achieve a custom fit. And with their amazing design, most of these wigs can be worn with or without adhesives. The lace typically ranges between 1.5 and 3.5 inches in length. The only downside is that since the lace is only in the front of the wig, your styling and parting options are somewhat limited.

Ever since I was a little girl, my long, flowing locks have been my best asset. During high school, my classmates voted unanimously to give me the award for best hair, and I’ve been known to spend hundreds of dollars on a haircut. Last weekend I volunteered to babysit my young nephew while my sister and her husband celebrated their anniversary. This seemingly small favor quickly turned into a major fiasco when the young toddler got gum in my hair while I was holding him.

After standing in front of the mirror for hours with a pair of scissors and tears in my eyes, I was able to get all of the gum out. But it came at the expense of over eight inches of hair. I was mortified by the prospect of being without my hair, so I went out and purchased a Malaysian Remy weave in order to keep my length and volume.

Stylists and wig-wearers alike espouse the advantages of human hair wigs, and with good reason. For years the technology for synthetic lace wigs has been lacking, leading to shoddy products that were easily detectable. But with the latest innovation in synthetic lace wig technology, many of these manufactured models look just as good as their real hair counterparts.

Not only has their appearance improved, so has their quality. Top-of-the-line synthetic lace wigs now feature full Swiss lace caps allowing you to achieve the full gamut of hairstyles—even ponytails and updos. And the revolutionary fibers of the wigs are designed to be incredibly heat resistant while maintaining the look and feel of real hair.

Every woman wants to have beautiful hair. This is not surprising, as long, voluptuous hair is a sign of beauty and femininity in cultures around the globe. Unfortunately, growing out your hair is a long, labor-intensive process if you want your locks to be healthy. Many women can’t keep up with the needed maintenance and simply resort to short hairstyles.

Of course, there are those who want the luxuriousness of long hair without putting in the work, and luckily there are options out there. Wigs are the most obvious option, but wearing a wig 24/7 is unappealing to many. Another viable alternative are virgin hair extensions. Unlike the cheap, shoddy hair extensions of the past, these new and improved extensions blend perfectly with your natural hair for an amazing look.

When my girlfriend and I finally decided to tie the knot last fall, we knew that creating our dream wedding on a budget would be a difficult task. We decided that we would cut corners where at all possible, but we certainly didn’t want to sacrifice quality. Our ceremony was last weekend, and I am happy to say that everything went off without a hitch.

One of the biggest money savers was renting her wedding dress instead of buying a new one; we figured, why spend thousands on a dress that you will only wear one time? This allowed her to have the dress of her dreams without blowing our budget. She is a big proponent of lace wigs and wanted a new one for the big day. We shopped around online and were able to find an outlet with affordable full lace wigs wit the exact style she had in mind.
