uniwigs

Synthetic hair toppers are perfect for you if you wish to add volume to your hair, have thinning hair, or are experiencing hair loss on your crown or someplace else. It’s also practical for adding fullness and length to your hair.

Caring for this hair attachment to elongate its life span is easy if you do it right, and I’m here to put you on the right track. Follow the steps judiciously, and your topper will swing and bounce like it is brand new.

One of the ways to care for your hair topper is by washing it. No, you can’t just wash it like it’s your natural hair. I’ll show you how.

Here’s a list of things you’ll need;
• Wide-tooth comb
• A workspace (basin, bowl, or container)
• Coldwater
• Mild shampoo and conditioner
• Towel
• Wig stand

How to Wash Your Synthetic Hair Topper

1. Detangle synthetic hair topper
Start with gently detangling your synthetic hair topper to avoid pulling the strands out.

2. Get a basin/bowl/container
Place the hairpiece in a basin/bowl/container you can wash it in. Just make sure you have enough room to wash correctly.

3. Rinse the hair topper
Place the hair topper under cold running water and rinse it from the roots to the tips.

4. Wash piece with mild shampoo or sulfate-free shampoo
Smooth some shampoo onto the hair from roots to tips. DO NOT twist or rub it as that can tangle it up and mess with its style.
Put some cold water into the basin/bowl/container, place the hair topper in it, and swish it in the suds it creates.

5. Rinse hair topper again
Run the hairpiece under cold running water and gently rinse from roots to tips until the water runs clear.

6. Get rid of excess water.
Squeeze excess water down the piece. DO NOT wring it.
Hold the hair in your fist and gently squeeze the water from the roots down to the tips. Don’t pull on it. You have to be gentle.

7. Condition the hair
Spread some mild hair conditioner onto your palms and work it into the hair evenly. Smooth the topper out as you do this.
Leave for 15 minutes.

8. Rinse one last time
Thoroughly rinse the conditioner out under cold water.

9. Get rid of excess water once more.
Gently squeeze out excess water. Always remember; DO NOT wring it.

10. Blot out water from hair
Place your washed synthetic hair topper in between a folded towel and apply pressure, so it absorbs excess water. This works well in place of wringing as it’s safer for your hair and you retain its style. DO NOT wring or twist.

11. Hang hair up
Place damp hair on a wig stand to hang and part to the desired position with a tail comb.

12. Let hair air dry
Air drying synthetic hair is much faster than a human hair. It takes at most three hours to dry completely.

13. Style hair topper
Once it’s dry, you can style the hairpiece.
Check the instructions your wig came in and adhere to the heating and styling rules stated. For some, the maximum temperature for styling synthetic hair toppers is 180F unless it’s stated by the manufacturers that you can apply more heat.
Applying too much heat while styling might lead to melting of the hair as it’s synthetic and that’s some severe irreparable damage you don’t want.

Styling Your Synthetic Hair Topper

If you feel the need to alter the style in which your topper came, I would advise you to take it to a professional hairstylist. Attempting to make modifications to the hairpiece on your own is terrible for your hair’s shelf life.
A professional will make the changes you want without causing damage to your hairpiece.

Do’s and Don’ts of Synthetic Hair Topper Care

Do’s
Some maintenance tips include:
• Wash your hair topper every two weeks or whenever it’s getting visibly dirty, depending on how often and how long you wear it at a time.

• While washing your hairpiece, make sure you’re doing it in a downward motion in the direction the hair falls to.

• Water used to wash it rinse synthetic hair should always be cold. Hot water can permanently damage the hair.

• When not in use, hang on a wig stand and cover it up with a hairnet, so dust doesn’t settle on it.
For short-term storage, please keep it in the box it came in. For long-term storage, please keep it in your closet.

• Use products suited for synthetic hair topper use only.

• Apply some leave-in conditioner now and then to hydrate your hairpiece.

• Take care of your hair underneath it to prevent grease, dirt or product buildup from taking a toll on your topper.

Don’ts

• Don’t wash it too often. Take care of your topper but don’t wash it every chance you get. Doing this will shorten your hair’s lifespan.

• Don’t apply oil to your topper as this could wreak some havoc on the hair. It’ll get clumped up and tangled and might begin to look somewhat ratty and challenging to manage.
Also, it will degrade the synthetic strands over time.

• Don’t shower with it. Seriously, just don’t.

• Don’t comb or style it when it’s wet. You could also damage it if you do and you don’t want that. If you care enough about your topper, that is.

• Don’t expose it to heat, especially when it’s extreme. It could cause severe fiber damage and make your hair frizzy.

• As tempting as going to bed with your topper on might seem, don’t do it. You run the risk of matting and breaking your synthetic hair, and it’s more awful to see than your usual bedhead.

• Don’t go swimming with your hairpiece. Pools have chlorine, and synthetic hair doesn’t do so well with chemicals. Give your topper a fair chance at life and remove it before going for a dive.
There you have it; a complete guide to caring for and maintaining your synthetic hair topper to retain its sway and luster.

SHOULD I GET BANGS?

uniwigs

A good number of women love bangs. Bangs do not just make you younger, it accentuates the fashion-inclined part of you. So it is not out of place if you want to get one. Bangs are lovely especially when you want to go for a new look. You are at the salon or maybe at home browsing ideas to change your hairstyle and suddenly something strikes you, “should I get a bang?” If this scene is familiar, this piece is for you. We will help guide you through the things you should consider before you go for bangs.

Unlike some other hairstyles, bangs require a lot of commitment. It is not like a beautiful dress you can try on to check the fitting and drop back later if you are not satisfied. Therefore you must be sure of your choice and decision before going for bangs.

There are so many things you need to know and other things you must consider, questions you need to ask yourself before you touch that your hair. When you ask yourself these questions and your answers tilt towards the positive bearing then, yes, you should go get a bang; if otherwise, do well to find another pretty hairstyle.

Are bangs trendy in 2020?
We wouldn’t want to appear on any occasion looking like an antique. We all want to look fashionable and appealing. Now, you want to know if bangs are in line with the trending fashions in 2020. A celebrity and hair ambassador, Laura Polko explains that bangs are always in style. She also emphasized the need to also consider other factors before going for bangs. If being fashionable is your priority, you may want to rock bangs. Bangs tell so much about the person wearing them. Bangs also make you look classy.

What kind of activities do you do?
While bangs are beautiful, you will need to answer this question to decide whether bangs are for you. Bangs have a way of getting in the way while carrying out our daily activities. If your daily routine requires you to be physically active such as working out, cleaning, and lots more, you should consider if you can manage the discomfort that may come from the bangs. But if your routine is physical-activity free, bangs will give you no extra discomfort. Go for it.

Why do you need to change?
Answering this question can help you make a better choice. Even when you have adorned your bangs with different color and suitable bang swag, your outfit is almost incomplete. The best accessory to go with your bangs is your confidence. The onlookers don’t only see the beauty of the hairstyle but the attitude of the wearer. You can only have this confidence when you have crossed all your Ts and dotted all your Is but still maintain that bangs are the best fit for you. Do not go for bangs because you saw in on someone and you think it will sit well on you. Sincerely admit to yourself why you need a change. Examine if the bangs will align with the reason for the change. If yes, you should get your bangs.

Are you ready for the commitment?
Bangs are beautiful, yes. But you have a role to play to maintain that beauty. You need to get trims every two or three weeks to maintain the length. Also, you must dedicate extra time to the bangs to keep them in good condition before stepping out for the day. In other words, if you have 15 minutes to brush/comb your hair in the morning, you have to give at least 10 minutes to the bangs before going over to the rest of the hair. Furthermore, bangs are not the kind of hairstyle you can switch to another style within weeks. Depending on the length, it can take them six months to grow out. You will need to carry the hair for a long time to grow out the hair that will enable you to change your hairstyle. If you are ready for the commitment, go ahead with your choice of getting a bang.

You should have a special stylist.
Don’t try to cut the bangs yourself. Visit a professional to do so. Even when you need trims, you have to engage the services of a stylist. This is because bangs are in the front of the hair and even the slightest of mistakes can easily be spotted. If the cuts are uneven, anyone that sees you can easily notice the unevenness which doesn’t tell well about you. On the other hand, if you must experiment or you have no access to a hairstylist, ensure to use a pair of good styling shears. They make a neater cut compared to the regular kitchen scissors. You will also need to wait for the hair to dry before cutting them. Wet hair shrinks; you may not get their actual length if you cut them when wet.

You should know that bangs do not choose a hair type
Bangs works great on every hair type be it curly or fine hair. So many people with curly hair believe that bangs are for the ones with straight hair. That is deceitful. Curls make bang look different and delightful. Just make sure the bangs are longer since the curly tends to shrink. As for fine hair, cutting your hair to bangs does not reduce the volume of the hair in any way. Long bangs actually make the hair thicker.

Will bangs fit my face shape?
Yes and yes. Bangs are for every face shape. And of course, you know there are varieties of bang styles you can choose from to flatter your face shape. Most bangs complement an oval-shaped face. In other words, if your face is oval, you have many options to choose from. Other face shapes like square or oblong can do with long layers of A-shaped bangs. All bangs look good on the heart-shaped faces. Bangs are for everyone.

It can be fun trying out bangs; it takes a different form from other hairstyles. It gives you a picture of a new you. You may do a little warm-up with wigs before cutting your hair.
