Suggestions For Bald Patches Where The Clips Go

uniwigs

We got feedback recently like that:

“I’ve been wearing toppers for two years now, and this is my current and absolute favorite, Melanie in chocolate caramel! She is the 20”, but is probably closer to 17 or 18 as I had her trimmed.

I have a question I am hoping someone can help with: I wear my topper every day, so I have small almost bald patches where the clips go. I totally accept this as part of the whole picture. However, those spots get very dry and irritated! Almost like a baby getting cradle cap. Has anyone else experienced this? Suggestions on how to treat it best?” -from one of our customers.

For sensitive scalp, if we place the clips in the same place every day, that would be caused that problem. So here’re some suggestions

Way to pull it off

Loose your hair from the clips one by one will cause baldness. Because when you open one clip and loose the hair, the other clips on your head will be stretched. So it’s better to open all clips when you are ready to take off your hair topper. Please take note of the turn you open the clips. Usually, we suggest to loose the back clips, then loose the side clips, the last ones are the front clips. Let the hair smoothly slides from the combs of the clips.

Wear a topper with a top grip

It’s getting more popular to wear a wig grip with a wig recently. So there’re also have top grip for hair toppers. UniWigs will have that top grips soon. If you want to use it urgently, just google and purchase from other vendors firstly.

The method of applying the top grip is similar to the wig grip. If you use top grips, you don’t have to clip the topper on your hair. Just apply the top grip on your head, then clip the topper on the wig grip. The top grip is usually made of velvet or other comfortable materials, that would be much more skin-friendly.

Buy a wig

For the new users, it’s not easy to handle the top grip and you would feel it’s not working for you. If you have a very sensitive scalp, wearing a wig is not a bad choice.

It helps to give your scalp a break if it is sensitive.

Use G2B

If you have a spot area, especially the thinning hairline, we suggest using glue the hair topper with a lace front. (You can purchase G2B at UniWigs) . By using the G2B glued the lace down to aid in better hold and to take the pressure off of the clips sites. Since we suggest customers use this way to lay down their hair topper on their heads, some of our customers said they can no longer wear their topper without the G2B glued and they never have to worry about it staying put-even on roller coasters.

To buy a topper with fewer clips

For some customers who like hair toppers, they insist to wear hair toppers instead of wigs for daily life. Except for the top grip, we designed a new hair topper base as below:

There’re five clips on the hair topper originally. Now it’s only 2 small clips, 2 combs, and a silicone strap. Most customers who choose the 10”x10” base sizes are with advanced hair loss. The comb will be more comfortable and sensitive to the scalp. Silicon strap fits around our head for extra security and will lay the front lace flat.

How To Cut Layers At Home This Fall

uniwigs

Giving yourself the best of layer cut at home this fall is not an easy task. However, with the right equipment, it can be made easy. In this piece, professional stylists at Uniwigs have highlighted five guidelines that will make the process, even more, easier for you.

If you have zero ideas of what you are about to do, a simple trim that goes wrong can turn out to be awful, when it comes to cutting your hair. This is the main reason; it is not recommended for you to have your layer cut all by yourself at home. It only put you more in the place of getting it done the wrong way.

However, in this period, we have found ourselves, talking about the ongoing pandemic terrorizing the globe, so many individuals are doing their best to avoid going to salons. So they choose their hairstyles at home.

One thing that everyone should know is, we are in the post-lockdown state period so in this fall if you don’t want to risk having your hair cut yourself, you can visit professionals in the salon.

Notwithstanding, for trying sake and adventure purposes, if you are still set on doing this, you can always get it right only if you calm down and take it slow. Giving yourself a layer cut can be daunting, especially if you are trying it for the first time. On the other hand, stressing out will only get worse. So just a deep breath, relax your nerves before starting up.

Note that aside from trying to calm yourself, you need to have a little skill or knowledge of what you are about doing. These five tips will set you going, and in the end, you can drop your comment in the comment section. We would be excited to hear from you about your experience.

1. Dampen Your Hair And Hold On To Your Tool

Just as mentioned earlier, you need only the right set of tools to make this happen. It would be best if you had a good pair of shears to make this work because the hairstyle is more than a blunt work. This should be a hair cutting shears and not a scissors for sewing or one for your kitchen. Using the wrong hair shears will cause damage to your lovely hair if you don’t have the right tool. You can conveniently make an investment buying the tool, knowing that you are still going to need it some other time.

Having a handy comb is another tool to have. A tail comb is just the best for this work. Even at the salon, a comb is necessary when cutting layers. With the comb, you can easily distribute the hair for an even cut. You wouldn’t want to end up having chunks.

Back to the process, working on damp hair allows room for more precision. So don’t forget to spritz your hair strands with some water before you start. Or wash your hair and wait for it to dry off a bit.

2. Part Your Hair Into Sections

Now you have your tools ready, and hair dampens, part your hair into sections according to how it normally falls. Parting your hair into sections helps to determine how deep you will be cutting the hair. Part the hair and clip any piece that you don’t want to touch. This is very important.

The hair you are working on is right at the very front top of your head. This should form a triangular shape into your part. You can use this hair for your layers or bangs.

3. Now Cut Slowly

You have to control the speed at which you cut. Remember that you can always cut the hair off but cannot attach it back after cutting. This is the more reason you have to take it slow.

Hold the front triangle section of your hair (as already sectioned), then divide down at the middle, this is what you will use to form the layers. Take a section at a time, then cut diagonally towards the section part. Repeat the same process at the other section making sure that the length of both sides is equal.

The length of the hair is very important; however, your face can be used as the ultimate guide to getting this right. Make sure you go a little longer when cutting your hair and make use of your facial features to track your cuts. For instance, the longest pieces should be at your chin, while the shortest ones should fall around your nose.

Another tip to take note of is this, when forming your face-framing bits, try to elevate and cut upward into the hair slightly. This is known as point cutting. Point cutting is simply holding the hair scissors at the tip of your hair and cutting a little amount of hair at the tip to make it look soft. Also, this technique can be used to get cut off bulk hair without touching the length.

For starters, point cutting is very easy and simple to try. Some other methods may be too advanced to catch up with. Whatever methods you decide to use, try to do it slowly, only cut off a small amount of hair at a time to avoid making irreversible mistakes.

4. Ensure Both Sides Are Even

Once you can go past the front cutting process, then it means you are almost done. Layers cut is all about making sure that both sections are equal and match up. To know if you are right, comb the sections altogether. Comb downwards in front of your face to confirm if it’s equal. You are permitted to do some trimming once you notice that some parts of the hair length are longer. Just make sure you don’t take off much hair while trimming.

5. Style Up For Final Touching

Congratulations! This is the last thing to do but not necessary. Now, you can style your hair. The only fact about this is that it will make you notice what needs to be adjusted. Use a round brush to blow-dry the hair. Then fix your layers as you deem fit. Styling your hair will help you know if you have successfully given yourself a nice layer cut or if there is more work to do.

Conclusion

Now you know what to do to give yourself a befitting layer cut while at home this fall. If you are up for this task, follow the process as explained, and don’t forget to let us know about your experience in the comment section.

How to Take Care of Your Hairline

uniwigs

Hairlines can be very fragile and should be well cared for. Many women suffer from thinning hairline while others have naturally thin hairlines. Since the hairline is considerably fragile, maximum attention should be given to ensure that it grows healthy and strong without breakage or other related hair damages. A damaged hairline is every woman’s nightmare, and sadly many women suffer this without men being left out. You don’t know the importance of your hairline until you’ve lost a significant amount of it. Aside from the shame and embarrassment, you may face, you may also face other important reasons you need to take care of your hairline.

However, there are several ways you can keep your hairline healthy, ranging from diets to lifestyle or even your styling technique.

In this article, we will discuss the various ways you can care for hairline to ensure a healthy hairline and attractive hairline.

1. Cut down the amount of heat you expose your hair to Excessive use of hot styling tools like the hairdryer, curling wand, and strengtheners can pose threats to the health and quality of your hairline. If you must care for your hairline, you have to cut down the use of these hot styling tools, especially if you use them every day. This is because when your hair, especially the hairline, is being exposed to too much heat, the hairline will be prone to breakage, and this may even weaken your hair, which will lead to hair loss. Too much heat is detrimental to the hair and its lines.

2. Handle your hairline gently when combing or brushing: Regular hair brushing is important, but the way you brush or comb it is even more important. The hairline’s hair is shorter and fragile and will likely pull if you are rough when brushing or combing them. If you don’t do gentle combing, the brush bristles may get caught in your hair, causing it to snap. To avoid this damage, you have to ensure that you comb your hair gentler or apply hair oil to make the hair softer for combing. Combing shouldn’t be done roughly and anyhow.

3. Avoid hair products loaded with strong chemicals: Hair products that are often filled with toxic chemicals will undoubtedly make your hairline prone to damages. Since the front of the hair is fragile, avoid strong chemicals that may do more harm than good to it. Some of these chemicals may literally burn the root of your hairline and may have the tendency to kill your hair’s natural integrity. Depending on whichever brand you choose, there are other effective ingredients to look out for when getting a hair product. These ingredients are proteins, vitamins, trace minerals, and essential oil. However, these ingredients will not cause irritation, dryness, or breakage of hair or hairline and help you achieve a beautiful and healthy hairline. So whenever you decide to get a hair product, ensure the chemical contents are less or milder. Go more organic and avoid the chemicals.

4. Regularly massage your hairline: Massaging your scalp and hairline every day will enhance blood circulation and can even strengthen your hair follicles. This shouldn’t be done vigorously but gently, as it will also help improve your hair and hairline’s general health. You can also massage with natural oils that will help stimulate growth and even strengthen it. It is important to do this as frequently as possible as your overall scalp and hair health may depend on it. Your hair loves stimulation, so makes out a minute and apply some oil to your scalp to foster your hairline growth.

5. Reduce adding tension to your hair and scalp: Avoid tight braids and hairstyles that could add too much pressure to your hair or scalp, because this can likely pull at your hairline and pull out the weaker hairs at the front hair. It is not advisable to keep to braids for too long and make sure your ponytails and braids are loosely made to avoid them pulling at your hair. There is a misconception that tightly made braids appear neater, but this is not worth losing your hair. One of the best things you can do for your hair is to let it rest and carry less weight. You don’t have to do one hairstyle after the other; instead, you should let your hair rest after each hairstyle. You can even wear your own hair in-between hairstyles. Thicker braids are even a safer option, and undo braids carefully because pulling and tugging will only worsen the situation, and you may even end up losing some hairs at your hairline in the process.

6. Maintain an adequate diet: Healthy diet is a contributing factor to having stronger hair. According to experts, inadequate feeding habits are also a leading cause of an unhealthy hairline. Many people out there do not know that the type of food they consume affects their hairline and hair generally. Eating healthy diets like foods rich in antioxidants can help your hair look fuller and healthier; the antioxidant in these adequate diets helps you fight oxidative stress that can damage your hair quickly. Many people still don’t realize the impact of what they consume make to our hair. The benefits start from nourishing it to ensuring that we grow healthy and strong hair. If you were eating healthy and all of a sudden, you suddenly begin feeding poorly; you will notice drastic changes in your hair texture, color, strength, and growth. Improve your diet today to ensure a healthier hairline.

7. Use lesser products on your hairline: Anything done in excessive is always never good. Excessive use of these hair products can also cause tiny bumps on your hairline. If you notice tiny bumps on your hairline, consider using lesser products along your hairline, and don’t forget to wash off properly the residue from hair care products. Too much use of hair products can cause breakouts anywhere, especially on your hairline. If you must use hair products, make sure they are friendly to your hair and do not apply too much. If possible, always follow instructions by the producers, apply gently, and make sure to wash off properly the ones that are meant to be washed off.

Hairline typically shows the integrity of the whole hair. Following these suggestions and adapting to necessary changes will ensure a healthy, fine-looking, and attractive hairline. Don’t use any hair products you see just because you see others using it. Some of these chemical-ridden products may attack your hair texture.

Putting some concealer on the part of your piece/wig can add more skin appearance. But for the darker knots, you can put the concealer under the knots and nude eye shadow on top to give you a more natural looking part.

Tip 2: Break the knots with a needle instead of tweezing.

It’s a common suggestion to tweeze your part. But with most of the wigs at UniWigs.com are in lace and monofilament features, the knots are hand-tied on the top of the lace. So in order to not damage your lace front, carefully break the knots with a needle or another fine pointy object. Then comb out the hair with a fine toothcomb to remove the untied strands.

Tip 3: Use a wig grip.

Using a wig grip is a great way to keep your wig or piece secure. Sometimes the wig grips need a little more attraction to stay in place. You can use little hair spray where the grip sits to help for minimum movement.

Hope the above three tips can help you to achieve the seamless appearance with your wigs and hair pieces.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOUR RELAX YOUR HAIR?

uniwigs

There are some things that you need to put into consideration to come up with the schedule that works for you and your hair. You need to consider the growth rate of your hair (i.e., new growth), your hair texture, your level of patience with your hair, and how often you style your hair.

1. New growth
The best time to do a retouch is after at least eight weeks. That will help in avoiding the overlapping of chemicals to the previously relaxed hair. Hair typically grows about a ½ inch a month. Waiting till you have at least an inch of new growth before relaxing is a good idea to consider. This will ensure the chemical is only applied to the new growth and allow enough room for it. If you only let ¼ inch of hair grow before going ahead to relax your hair, you run the risk of damage.

2. Hair texture
Your hair texture may also dictate how often you want to relax your hair. In some cases, if your hair texture is coarse you will feel the growth within a short time.

3. Level of patience
When you have mostly relaxed your hair over an inch of new growth, styling and caring for your hair can become a challenge. Washing, conditioning, and styling will all require that you spend extra time and extra attention to avoid breaking and damaging your hair. Considerably, it’s easier to want to retouch your hair with a relaxer more often. But relaxing your hair often, less than eight weeks interval, may cause even more breakage and damage to your hair.

4. Hairstyling schedule
Your hairstyling routine is the last point you should consider when thinking about a relaxer schedule. How do you like to wear your hair daily? If you like your hair to be super straight and hanging down, you may want to stick to a rigid relaxer touch-up schedule like 6 – 8 weeks. If you are okay with big, fluffy hair and wavy roots, then you can go ahead and create a more extend relaxer schedule for your hair.

Relaxing your hair after removing a hair extension
Hair that has just been removed from extensions is usually weak and lacks in protein, so to go ahead and relax it the same day can cause an inevitable disaster. When you remove your hair from extensions, you should first detangle your hair, wash it, and then condition it with a protein deep-conditioner and wait till at least, one week before relaxing. Also, when washing your hair, ensure you wash your hair in sections or in single braids to prevent matting and tangles. Giving your hair one week after removing an extension before relaxing will also help your scalp recuperate.

Here are also some things you should know before and after relaxing your hair.
1. Relaxed hair is weaker than natural hair and therefore you should only relax your hair if it’s healthy. If your hair is already fragile, relaxing it can damage it severely.

2. Do not relax your hair immediately or too soon after you have washed it or agitate the scalp. Relax your hair at least one week after you’ve washed it. That will give your scalp enough time to generate enough natural lubricant to help to protect it during the relaxing process.

3. You should always use a hair relaxer that is gentle on your scalp and hair. Relaxers come in 3 strengths: mild, regular, and super. Understanding the texture of your hair before choosing a relaxer will help you make a suitable choice.

4. Avoid all curly hairstyles a week before relaxing and ensure your hair is straight and detangled.

6. After relaxing your hair, do not install a weave or any braids for up to 2 weeks, because your hair at this point cannot withstand the tension caused by extensions.

7. Relaxing hair usually leads to dryness, so endeavor to moisturize your hair regularly.

Conclusion
It’s always advisable to consider time more than the amount of growth when it comes to relaxing hair. Always make use of a relaxer that is gentle and will always leave your hair strong and bouncy.

Remember also, that treating your hair is necessary to maintain the protein and moisture balance. As we know, relaxers work by breaking down some of the protein bonds in our hair. If hair that is protein deficient is relaxed, it will become fragile or even damaged after the relaxer process. A fragile or damaged hair cannot withstand daily wear and tear and is susceptible to breakage. It is, therefore, necessary to prepare for relaxing by ensuring your hair is not lacking in protein. Hair should be washed and deep-conditioned with a protein conditioner a week before it is relaxed.

Are you parting your hair the right way?

uniwigs

Parting your hair is something you do everyday. Maybe without even knowing it. It is something you should pay more attention to if you’re not already.

Correcting your parting can even make you look more attractive and who doesn’t want to look like a snack. You may have the same parting for years and years. It’s time to change it up. After all, life is about taking risks even if the risk is as small as changing the part of your hair.

So what is the best part for our face shape? What is the best part for your individual style? Let’s go over what’s part options you have first.

Middle parts can often make the symmetry of your face stand out more. It’s the best for round face. Because the center part will elongate the face,all the attention is going right down the middle and nothing on the side. But center part will be recommendation for a circular face.

Off center part or side part means you can leave one centimeter or two centimeter off from the center. It is great if people don’t have perfectly symmetrical faces and you want to just bring that eye not to the center. Oval face is the most optimal face shape. Any part will look great with this face shape. But try a slightly off center part, you will look more attractive.

Another style is side part. The side part is a much edge in my opion.

The last one is Zigzag part. This part can be on the side or in the middle. This part will look nice and jagged. Zigzag part will give you amazing hair volume. A sightly zigzag part for square ladies will looks much better.

Parting line is just an easy thing to do in our life and make hair volume. Befor you purchase a topper, you need to confirm that your hair topper or wigs have enough area for a pring line.

How to take care of your wig

FOR ALWAYS SOFT AND SILKY HAIR
We do not imagine how pollution and urban agitation attack us every day, and our hair in the wind are the first sensors of these nuisances. The accumulation of fine particles, dust, sweat and also styling products makes the hair heavy and difficult to handle. They swell and tangle more easily. Here’s how to deal!

Wash your hair as soon as you feel it less flexible, that the curls are less defined, and that you find it harder to style your hair (in general or after a week depending on the use you make of the styling products).

Rinse the hair with cold water by adding a teaspoon of… apple vinegar or alcohol in the last bath. Yes, this grandmother’s remedy really works!

For a natural and light look, do not use too many care and hairstyling products. A few drops a day are enough. An excess of products weighs down the hair and makes it difficult to handle. In addition, it would require you to do frequent shampoos, which would complicate your routine.

Use moisturizing and nourishing products.
Do not hesitate to test the products, recommended or not, to find the ones that best suit your needs. The main thing is to invest in quality products like you do for your natural hair.

In all cases, avoid products containing petrolatum and lanolin which grease and weigh down the hair and ultimately dry it out since it does not allow true hydration.

Apply your moisturizer preferably on hair that is still damp, part of the water is then retained in the fiber and the hair will only be softer and flowing.

For wavy or curly hair, naturally drier, use a foam suitable for this type of texture. It is possible to compose it yourself with organic aloe vera, organic shea butter and pure organic oils of coconut, bean sprouts, or sweet almond to mix in a spray bottle with water purified hot. These oils can be replaced by a quality conditioner, in small doses. Another personal solution for quick refreshment and immediate redefinition of curls: moisten the hair well with a water sprayer (preferably from a source) and seal the hydration with a special curl mousse. Do not brush or pull on the hair, but rather press it between your hands. Guaranteed result! Moisturize the hair by emphasizing the lengths and ends and avoiding the base.

How to Make Your Extensions Look Natural

uniwigs

Hair extensions are one of the secret ingredients that make a woman’s hair look gorgeous and attractive, and most women will want it to remain a secret.

It can be really embarrassing hence, hair extensions should be placed in such a way that it will look natural and except you tell someone, no one would figure you used an extension.
Hair extensions shouldn’t be as obvious as your eyelashes or artificial nails that are always very pronounced, it should remain a secret except you decide to let anyone in on your hair secrets. However, it takes only a few tips and tricks to make your extension look as natural as your hair itself. Read further to find out simple ways to make your extension natural.

• Your extension should be the same shade as your hair

The most important tip you should know is that the color of your hair and the extension should be of the same shade. If they are of different shades, then you are letting the world know that you used extensions which isn’t nice at all. If your hair is of two shades, try getting the extension that matches the color of the tip of your hair so that it can blend properly. If you can’t find the exact color of your hair, then you should consider dyeing your hair so it corresponds with your extension. Better still, it’s possible to get a shade of the extension that is a little bit lighter than your hair and it will blend properly with your hair.

• Get the right thickness

Asides from the shades of both the hair and extensions, there are also the different texture of hair. Some people have very thick hair, while some have light hair, hence, before buying your hair extension, you should know the texture of your hair. You need to find the right balance between your extension and your natural hair. If you have thick hair then get thick extensions that will match the thickness of your hair. The same goes for people with light or thin hair. So, you need to pick the right extension that will fit the texture of your hair. If you are confused about this, then you can ask a professional for help.

• Get human hair extensions The type of extensions you get also determines how it will look on your hair. Human hair extensions are simply the best and they fit perfectly into your hair, with the human hair extension fixed in your hair, you can style your hair together with your extension in any way you can and it will look good. Human hair works well with heat, so you can use a thonging machine or hair straightener to style your hair and the extension will not be affected in any way. But if your extensions are synthetic, then you have another thing coming because it will be quite difficult to style. Synthetic hair extensions get damaged when it comes in contact with heat. So human hair extensions are the best.

• Style

What do you have in mind when styling your hair with extensions? Just like your hair wig, you need to wear it first before styling. Same goes with your extension, fix in your extension before styling your hair and that way it looks more natural. Since you are using human hair extensions, you can use a thonging machine while styling. And if you have short hair, you can twist the tip of your extension together with your hair and pack it in the form of buns and no one will ever suspect you used extensions.

• Use the right length of the extension

Another important thing you need to consider is the length of both your hair and the extension. One big blunder you can make is getting a very long extension to be fixed to short hair, no matter how great you style your hair, the extensions will still be glaring and letting people know you actually used extensions. If you have short hair, use hair extensions that are short also so it blends well with your hair.

• Application and fitting If you want your hair extension to look natural, then how you fix it is paramount. Since you have succeeded in getting the perfect shade and length for your hair, then how to apply it properly should be next on your mind. In order not to do a bad job while applying it, it is best to visit a professional who can do a perfect job. A professional will help fix your extensions in a way that no one will be able to tell if you used extensions or not. A professional will place the extensions carefully and step by step if there is any need to trim the extension to for your hair, then the stylist will trim it properly and ensure it is fitting. And if you want to apply your extension yourself, then you should know the steps to take in fitting it into your hair so you don’t make a mess of your hair.

• Hair shampoos and hair spray
If you decide to fix your hair extensions yourself then you can use a shampoo or hair spray to make it hold in firmly. It would be very embarrassing for your extensions to pull off when you don’t fix it properly, so to avoid such embarrassment, use your shampoo and spray to make the extension stay firm on your hair.

Looking to change your look a little bit? Try switching up your hairstyle and see how perfect it will look on you. There are lots of things you can do to change your hairstyle which includes changing your hair color or using a wig to change the style of your hair. Wigs have been trending but they tend to cause a lot of heat and becomes itchy, so what is best is using an extension to change your hairstyle. With extensions, you become very comfortable and they are easier to maintain. However, your extensions need to look and feel natural, hence, using the above-mentioned steps will help you achieve that natural look.

Where else can you comfortably shop in the early hours of the morning while still in bed and have it delivered just as you rise up to brush your teeth? You won’t have to face a rude shopping assistant, who might just spoil your mood for the rest of the day. With online stores, there are no queues to beat, and no standing in line waiting for your turn while you’re forced to start up small talks with the next person in line, in order not to appear rude. Also, with online stores, you have access to thousands of products at your beck and call. I for one love reading classic literature. These are hard to find in physical paperbacks. Now I have access to their digital versions online. It’s been a jolly good ride ever since.
  • Price comparisons: With online stores, you can compare prices and products of different brands very easily before settling with the brand with the best offer. Bored to hell the other day, I decided to glance through an online store when I stumbled upon an item I had purchased weeks earlier from a departmental store. The price I saw on the online store and the price I had bought mine for from the retail store were miles apart. I felt fleeced. Just to be sure I had not stumbled on a fake product online, or maybe a replica, I ordered it immediately. When it was delivered, later on, I knew I had been conned out of my hard-earned money. This experience changed my perspective about shopping online. With physical stores, you can’t go around looking for the best offer. And even if you could, how many stores can you go to before you lose interest through physical exhaustion? Also, where’s the time to go window shopping when everyday work, kids and academics are fighting for our time.
  • Send Gifts to loved ones: This period, we are all vulnerable. Little gifts can help friends and loved ones who may be having tough times You surely cannot visit friends and families in faraway towns and cities during memorable events. So, the next best thing is to send gifts across to support them especially on birthdays, anniversaries, graduations and other such occasions.
  • Shop over distance: This period you cannot hop into the plane traveling to a place like, say China in order to purchase an art relic you’ve been eyeing over the years. Not with the travel international travel bans here and there. Online shopping will help you shop over distance.
  • No crowds: Even before the social distancing guidelines and all, I was one person who hated crowds. I wouldn’t be caught dead shopping during the festive periods when large crowds are expected in the malls. I timed my shopping to only times when I knew it was just me and no other person. This means there were selected places where I shopped. The lockdown has given me a leeway in avoiding all the hassles that crowds bring, and I’m surely sticking with this trend even after the pandemic is over.
