Celebrities Who are Wearing a Wig, Right Now!

kknightly

When many of us think of our favorite celebrities, few stop to think of the character they create and maintain in their personal lives. Acting is not an easy job, though some would like to think so. To become a favored A-listed actor or actress, one must endure odd schedules, hours of make-up and hair styling sessions, hours of studying, filming in extreme conditions at times, and worse—A constant barrage of critique from the public over looks, manners, actions and comment. It’s no wonder many celebrities suffer depression and other social anxiety disorders over time.

If that wasn’t enough, many celebrities also suffer from premature hair loss as a result of years of abusive hair regimes that expose them to a host of damaging chemicals, ruining their natural look. Most recently, Keira Knightly was interviewed by InStyle, in which she confessed to having worn a wig in public over the past 5 years… 5 Years!!! What’s best is that she loves it!

“For the past five years I’ve used wigs, which is the greatest thing that’s ever happened to my hair.” The 31 year old told InStyle.

It goes without saying that celebrities are leading the charge when it comes to wearing a wig in public. They understand that looking your best doesn’t mean you have to compromise because you’re having a bad hair day. When you wear a wig, everyday is a great hair day. In Keira Knightly’s case, her hair started falling out when she was 26 because of all the constant hairstyle changes in her career. In addition to that, she also admits that her hair isn’t exactly easy to manage, being the thick curly type; it’s not easy to wake up every morning and put on the perfect face.

WIG CAP CONSTRUCTIONS

uniwigs

To choose a wig is to choose a lifestyle. When you look at a wig, you are not only looking at the hairs attached, you want to understand how they are made, with what kind of magic technologies can those hairs look so real. Here at UniWigs, we offer the highest quality wig products. We also make every effort to be informative and considerate. This is a detailed catalogue for our customers to understand what type of foundations (also referred to as caps) our wigs are attached to. Based on different materials used on a cap, we divide our wig constructions into the following categories. It is common to combine more than one material on a single cap.

BASIC CAPS

Historically, a wig is used for adding the volume of hair or to disguise baldness. For a long period of time, the foundation of a wig is made of net or mesh with hair wefts1 sewn on it. This is the oldest and most economic way to manufacture a wig. Therefore such wigs are the most durable and affordable.

Traditional
1. Summary: The most classic cap, added a net layer to the crown in order to maintain the shape of the wig.
2. Material: Flower net front, ultra-thin wefts, memory mesh base.
3. Crafts: Open wefts sewn on cap base, with a net layer overlapping the crown.
4. Features: Durable, stable, affordable.

Capless
1. Summary: It is called capless because it’s super light weight, almost undetectable.
2. Material: Memory mesh, ultra-thin wefts.
3. Crafts: Ultra thin wefts sewn on memory mesh, with open space in between the wefts.
4. Features: Lighter weight, airy, affordable.

Hand-tied Caps

As time goes by, classic weft-sewn wigs no longer meet wig wearers’ needs. They seek for more comfort and more natural looking. That’s where hand-tied2(also refers to as hand-knotted) caps come to sight. This type of cap involves a great amount of manpower hours, yet it offers a highly natural look, lighter weight, and super comfort.

Depending on different materials hairs are hand-knotted into, there are three types of construction fabrics used on UniWigs products: lace, monofilament, and silk. Each approach has its own features and meets various needs. And they are usually combined with each other or other materials due to high manpower demands and cost, such as wefts or stretchy mesh.

Lace base snuggles with scalp perfectly, it is soft, breathable, and can be freely combined with any other materials. Soft , snuggly, breathable, free parting, different colors available. 3-4 strands of hair knotted at each cross.
Monofilament: Parting in any directions desired, the base is invisible, natural-looking. Fixed shape, perfectly fit the shape of your crown, natural looking, free parting, transparent skin tone available. 1-2 strands of hair knotted at each cross.
Silk: Our highest end cap structure, most complicated crafts and looks most natural among all product lines, invisible knots, looks just like your own skin. Just like each strand of bio hair growing from your own scalp.

Note 1: To weave the root ends of the hair onto a warp of three silk threads to form a sort of fringe called a “weft”. The wefts are then sewn to a foundation made of net or other material.
Note 2: It is a fine handmade craft where artists use a small hook, which is called a “ventilating needle”, to knot a few strands of hair at a time directly to a suitable foundation material.
Note 3: Monofilament(refers to as mono hereinafter) is a type of fabric that is widely used in textile industry. For a wig construction usage, it is knitted into a mesh that is more delicate and more comfortable than lace closure when applied to scalp.

Glue or Glueless
When we put on a wig, it is expected that the wig WILL securely stay in place. No moving around, no falling off. We do not want to encounter any of those awkward moments where our little secret is revealed. For this purpose, skin-safe adhesives or hair pins are the easiest options. We also offer more efficient options with none or less adhesive. With our uniquely designed, tight and invisible combs and clips sewn on temples and back, and adjustable straps fastened around nape, you can keep a peaceful mind that your wig will always stay where it is.

Simply let us know your preferences and your expectations, our customer care specialist will be thoroughly walking you through the journey step by step.

VSP Series- How to look your Best Before the Big Event (5 insider Secrets)

uniwigs

Season after season, some of the most beautiful women in the world gather together to showcase the best new designs in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. This year, we’re giving you a look at what it takes to develop and maintain the perfect look before the launch.

1) Maintenance and Love… Weeks before any show, it helps dramatically to avoid sugary and alcoholic beverages while staying active, both socially and physically.
Sugar by itself may give temporary satisfaction to those stressful days when we need a little chocolate therapy, but over time it can wreak havoc on your skin. Alcohol does the same and also dries out your skin, creating uneven blotches and shiny spots. Instead of hitting the bottle or the freezer isle at the local supermarket, hit the gym instead or use these cool autumn nights to take a relaxing stroll after dinner. Not only will you feel better and more confident, you’ll look better. Social exercise is important too! Studies in the past have shown that having an active social life can lower stress levels naturally, and even more importantly, can build confidence with new interactions. Less stress and healthy eating options = great skin.
2) Worship the Sun, avoid the kiss…. We all know sun damage can build up over time. Make sure to always use sunscreen or moisturizer with sun-blocking elements built in.
Anyone over 30 can tell you, your body changes over time. Sun damage can accelerate the appearance of aged skin, especially as we get older and it takes longer for our bodies to process these changes effectively. It’s better to act on the side of caution and preserve your look for the exciting years to come.
3) Selfie Perfection… Instead of over applying makeup for those nights on the town. Carry some translucent powder to freshen up your T-Zone right before a selfie.
Too much makeup can dry the skin and taking it off at the end of the night can damage and re-clog pores in the process. Most models prefer the gradual touch approach to maintaining the perfect look between camera flashes and fans. A little translucent powder applied artfully to your shiny areas can give you the perfect balance and glow without adding extra weight and texture.
4) Angels Everywhere… Creating the perfect Angel hairdo is easier than you think!
Using a simple wave iron, work on the body of the hair in separate strips while curling away from the face, leaving the ends untouched. Confused? Try visualizing what it would look like if your removed your top-knot and just let it flow down naturally. It’s a popular look that gives the impression you just spent an entire day at the beach, so it doesn’t have to be perfect; just enough structure and consistency to give your hair the right direction to develop naturally.
5) A facial a week keeps age at bay… With all the remarkable products available on the market today, it’s easier than ever to take some time out to renew and rejuvenate.
Korean Air flight attendants long shifts in conditions with low humidity, high stress and poor lighting. Even with their limited resources cruising miles above the earth, they still manage to look like runway models all day. The secret? Weekly facials and “off days” where makeup is prohibited. Many international flight attendants will attest to the fact that their face is the first and last impression a passenger receives on any flight. Knowing this, they pay special attention to routine and application of any product that contacts the skin. After an international flight, it’s common to reward the skin then allow it to breathe naturally before the next round of work. Professional models in the air to professional models on the strip; you’ll notice the change in very short time by sticking to this routine.
