“Got my first lace front wig from Uniwigs and I love it! It looks so realistic, and everyone who has seen me wearing it asked me if I have dyed my hair. Even though it is made out of synthetic hair, it doesn’t get tangled as much as any of the other wigs I have tried. And trust me, I’ve tried a lot! I have a full drawer of different colors of hair extensions and wigs. The hair is really soft and smooth, and all you have to do before wearing is brush it with the brush they send you together with the wig. It also comes with a cap to put your own hair away. The wig is really a perfect solution to when you want to color your hair, but don’t want those grown out roots, and don’t want to damage it. I would even wear it when I go out. The only reason I’ve worn it for pictures only so far is because it’s really hot right now in LA, but I would definitely wear it out in fall or winter. The main reason I love this wig so much is because of how perfect its hairline is. If you scroll down you can see a closeup picture of it. You can’t even tell that I’m wearing a wig! Since I’m really into changing my hair, but I haven’t done it recently because I don’t want my hair damaged, I would be very happy to get more colorful lace wigs from Uniwigs and style different looks with them.” — Alisa Sia

“Another post with me wearing the same gray lace front wig from Uniwigs. They have so many cute colorful wigs available that I would be really excited to style! In this look I wasn’t really going for Ariana Grande style at first, but once I tried this wig on a couple of people were like “OMG you look so much like her in her Focus music video!” So since I already wore it with a white crop top and white skirt, I decided to add these over the knee boots to make it kind of similar in style to what she was wearing in Focus. By the way, this wig came just in time – exactly while I was decorating my new room in all light gray, light pink, and white. My old room had too much bright pink stuff, and I got tired of it. I feel like right now I’m really into these pale neutral colors because it’s so easy to just add any accessories to them to change the look. I even used a pale pink lipstick which I usually don’t, and I think it matched perfectly with this hair color.” — Alisa Sia

How much hair weave you need?

uniwigs

Weave are attached to your head by sewing them to a tiny braid made out of your own hair. The track (known to hairdressers as a corn-row) runs horizontally around the back of your head. The tracks are done in the middle of your scalp underneath your hairline so you can’t see them.
The crown area of your own hair covers the top track making the hair extensions seem invisible. The number and size of tracks matches the number and size of wefts. The wefts and tracks ideally should be made in different sizes in order to match exactly the way your hair would look if you had grown it that way yourself.

Normally, Weft hair are applied in rows across your head with adhesive or sewed to braids. Some hairdressers prefer shrinkies/shrink-links and micro ring or fusion for pre bonded hair, the hair comes already separated into individual strands ready for application with glue on the tips.
How much hair you need depends on how many tracks you have. For example: If I had hair to my chin and I wanted hair to my bra line (about 18″ long) I might need 5 or 6 tracks/wefts depending upon my current haircut. If I had hair to my shoulders that was thin and stringy and I wanted it thicker and more luscious but the same length I might need 2 or 3 (or more) tracks/wefts. For hair weft under 18 inches, one packet is enough for full head. Over 18 inches, you should need more the one. If a hairdresser is doing your hair it is advisable to check with them as to how much you require for the hairstyle.
For the pre blonded hair, you should need 150-200 strands.Once again this depends on the style. For other methods eg strand by strand you will need to consult with your hair dresser. Once the tracks are done, the wefts are sewn to them and then your own crown area hair is blended with and combed over the extensions.

Sure, the Extensions should not be applied any lower than the base of your scalp (about even with the middle of your ears) and so your hair under this point covers the extensions while you wear it in pigtails, ponytails, french twists, french braids etc。 With proper care, Hair Extensions should last four months.

Hope it helps. Further Reading: Weft Hair Extensions

Closures: Lace vs. Silk Base

uniwigs

When it comes to wearing weaves and hair extensions, the goal should always be to obtain a natural-like appearance. No one deliberately wants their weave to be easily detected, which is why many installations require leaving hair out in the front to cover tracks. But with this weaving method comes the hassle of blending your own hair texture with the hair texture of the extensions—talk about annoying.

Many times in order to be successful at the blending process, constant heat is being applied and the risk of heat damage is high. But thanks to closures–a small hair unit used to cover the front of the hair where you would normally leave hair out to give your install a natural hairline appearance–wearing a believable weave without causing any damage to your hair doesn’t have to be unbelievable. (Or should I say unbeweavable?)

Closures come in two different bases–lace and silk–and can be glued, taped, or sewn down. Although they are both applied the same and used to achieve the same overall result, they are quite different. Not sure which closure would work best for you? Here are a few pros and cons to help guide you in your lace or silk-based closure journey.

LACE CLOSURES are made with a lace-like foundation with hair strands embedded into the tiny holes.
Pros: It gives a scalp-like appearance when placed against your skin or natural scalp. It also allows for a very flat and easy application that will make your install look very real.
Cons: You’ll need to do some tweaking to lace closures to achieve the best results. Because the hair strands are directly embedded into the sheer lace, tiny black knots where the hair and lace meet are visible when placed against your skin, which means you’ll have to bleach the knots to get rid of the grid-like effect the dots create. And if not bleached correctly, you risk ruining your closure and the hair attached—and wasting your money. Alternatively, you may add concealer or foundation to the lace for an easy route to achieve a natural appearance.
SILK BASE CLOSURES are made with hair strands embedded into a nude, skin-like silk material that is reinforced with lace.

Pros: Silk base closures hair tend to last longer and generally don’t require any bleaching like lace closures. Because of the silk material backing on the closure, the knots are not visible and mimic the scalp without much alteration.

Cons: While the silk material helps to conceal the knots to create the appearance of a real scalp, every scalp isn’t created equal so if you are of darker complexion and have a much darker scalp, you will need to alter and tint your silk base. Also, this type of closure tends to be a little thicker, which can pose as a challenge with getting a super flat install.
