uniwigs

We always see people with different hair colors from us either on TV or in the poster, or even in person. They are have their hair in black, brown, blond, red, yellow, grey, white, green, pink, blue, etc. Have you ever wondered why people have so many different hair colors?

different hair colors

 

Like the case of different colors in human skin and eye colors, human body produces two pigments: emplaning in dark brown and black hair which is also known as melanin, and pheomelanins in red and blonde hair. As the color depth is determined by the amount of melanin, therefore, human beings will have different hair colors ranging from dark black (when there is lots of melanin) to light blonde (when there is less melanin and more pheomelanins).

According to the research data, the most commonly seen hair color among the human beings around the world is black, with brown (also called “brunettes”) next to it, due to the reasons factors of different regions, climates, dietary habits and geological conditions.

Blond hair may range from nearly white to a dark blond. The mixture of blond and red hair is called “strawberry blond”. And as you have certainly noticed, there are also redheaded people. Their hair color ranges from fair red to auburn and dark burgundy and is the rarest hair color of all.

Blonde Hair

 

 

What about grey or white colored hair? This kind of hair color is mainly appeared among aging people, whose body has probably stopped producing melanin so that their hair can only appear light pigments by presenting the grey or white colors. However, for some people white hair can appear as early as in their childhood, which may be caused by gene or lacking calcium.

grey hair

 

As for other are extremely hair colors such as green or purple, don’t be curious, because they are not a person’s natural hair color and they have artificially been colored or dyed with different colorants. Others are wearing colored hair extensions to protect their natural hair.

How many lace wigs do you have? What problems did you have when you got your first lace wig? How do you care for them in daily life?

There are three aspects which should be considered when you care for our lace wigs.

 

Styling tips:

*Hot styling tools must be used on human hair lace wigs.

*Hot blow driers, curling irons, flat irons and similar tools should be used in the same way as you would do to your own hair.

* If wig hair gets frizzy, try some wig spray to calm the frizz and then gently comb the hair.

* When wigs are tangled, use any detangling or sheen spray while you comb the hair. Remember to start from the bottom and then working your way up.

 

Washing tips:

As most of the lace wigs on our site are human hair lace wigs, we recommend these care instructions below:

♦ Gently brush the wig to remove teasing or tangling with a wide tooth comb. When brushing, start at the ends and work your way to the roots.

♦ Rinse with cool to lukewarm water.( Water should be at room temperature or slightly warmer, never use hot water)

♦ Distribute wig shampoo evenly throughout the hair using your fingers.

♦ Gently apply some of the soapy water to the inside of the cap. Do not scrub the cap.

♦ Rinse with cold to lukewarm water to remove shampoo. Pat gently with a soft towel to remove excess water. Do not wring or squeeze.

♦ Distribute some conditioner to the damp hair. Avoid the scalp area as the conditioner can loosen the knots.

♦ Rinse with cold to lukewarm water to remove conditioner. Pat gently with a soft towel to remove excess water. Do not wring or squeeze.

♦ Gently press with a towel to remove excess water. Place on a folding wig stand and allow to air dry.

♦ When the wig is completely dry, it is ready to style.

 

Storage tips:

* When your lace wigs are not in use, make sure to store them in a hair net and a plastic bag or on a wig stand.

* If you are on vacation, remember to put your lace wig in a wig box to prevent it from flattening.

Correct Your Hair Washing Ways

uniwigs

How to wash hair? Of course you know the ways. But do you really know how to wash your hawash hair correctlyir correctly to keep it healthy, smooth and shiny, without tangles or mats?

 

Check out the following 5 steps to see whether your hair washing ways are helpful to your hair health or not.

 

1. Use shampoo or conditioner directly on the hair

 

NO!! Just like using facial cleanser, you should knead the shampoo in your palms until it comes out rich foam and then put the foam on your hair with gentle massage. This will help to remove the dirt and dissolve the oil, which will better clean your hair.

BTW, reduce the frequency to co-wash at the barber’s. You know how it harms your hair.

 

2. Save the step of using hair conditioner occasionally

Still NO! Why do we use hair conditioner? To help protect the hair. How? By helping close the patulous cuticles during the washing procedure thus help resist tangling. So when you wash your hair, remember to use corresponding hair conditioner.

 

3. Use hair conditioner when the hair is still dripping water

Wrong!! It won’t work if you smear hair conditioner to the hair with dripping water. Experience proves that the best way to effectively use conditioner is: dry your hair with a hair-drying towel after shampooing, and then smear the conditioner when no water dripping from the hair, in this way, the essence of the conditioner will be absorbed to the maximum extent. Tips: the better the conditioner is, the drier the hair must be.

 

4. Wash your hair with the water of the same water temperature

Wrong again. Do you know that the water temperature will particularly affect the sequent styling results? Therefore, it’s very important to adjust the temperature of the water when washing the hair and make sure the temperature of the water of the last time is lower than the previous times. You will have shinier and smoother hair with fewer tangles if you try to do so.

 

 

5. Dry the ends of the hair first when blow drying the hair

Still wrong! Many people tend to dry the ends of the hair after washing the hair, thinking that the scalp is sensitive and fragile to use hair dryer. Are you one of them? If so, then it’s time to make a change.

 

As a matter of fact, the hair will soon be dry spontaneously after you dry your scalp. And because of the reduction of time on drying your scalp, the damage of hot wind from the dryer will be lessened too. So the best way to dry your hair faster with less damage is to dry the roots of the hair (your scalp) by shaking your hair dryer with quicker movement.

In addition, in late summer or early autumn, hair in resting state occupies a big proportion, which is a main reason of autumn hair loss.

Besides, people sweat a lot in hot summer due to the high temperature; while in autumn suffer a lot because of dry weather and less sebaceous gland secretion, and their hair cannot gain moisture in time, thus result in dry hair, losing luster and falling off.

Apart from some diseases or medical treatment, the most widely spread reason for hair loss is stress, either from daily life or the work, or even both. Most people are experiencing hair loss due to the autumn depression, which is surely a danger to hair.

Care Tips for Dry Hair

uniwigs

Feeling annoyed by your dry hair? Dry hair looks brittle and feels “frizzy”. There are many causes of dry hair. Find the respective reasons of your dry hair below.

 

Inactive oil glands can cause dry hair. If you have dry hair as a result of dry skin, consider washing your hair fewer times each week as to protect the existing oil glands. In addition, pay attention to the type of shampoo and conditioner you use to make sure it replenishes your scalp with essential oils. Check out those products labeled as “hydrating” or “moisturizing.”

 

Be sure to take care with heat and chemicals, especially if you have dry hair. Nowadays electric hair straighteners (flat irons) are popular among girls. But notice: they do cause serious damage to hair. When used on high heat, hair dryers can damage hair, too.

 

Decreasing your use of these hot devices (or at least using a less hot setting) will help to keep your hair healthier.

 

Tips: if you really love different styles of hair with different colors, try hair extensions or wigs. Check out Uniwigs remy human wigs and Hair Extensions.

 

Harsh chemicals in hair color, permanents, and relaxers can strip the hair of vital oils. Watch out for bleaches and peroxides, because they can make your hair brittle and cause split ends.

 

Finally, take an extra care of your hair in the summer sun. Sunshine and ultraviolet rays can both cause dry hair. The easiest solution is to wear a hat or simply avoid getting too much sun (your skin will thank you, too).

 

You can also protect your hair by wearing a swim cap when you go into the pool and then wash your hair in fresh water after swimming. If you swim frequently, consider using a shampoo designed to remove chlorine from hair.
