WIG 101- Tips & Tricks to Perfecting Your Wig Style

uniwigs

Wigs can be a gorgeous solution for hair loss and alopecia. No matter you are wearing a human hair wig or a synthetic wig, some tips and tricks are necessary and helpful to make your wig look perfect!

Tip 1: Dab some concealer.

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.

Different Ways To Wear Your Human Hair Extensions

uniwigs

Human hair extensions are a really quick and simple way of updating your look and giving you either extra thickness or some length. Alternatively, they can also be clipped in for those people that want to add some highlights or color into their hair but don’t want it permanently. Here in this article, we shall look at why human hair works well and how to put in clip-in extensions yourself.

Some hair extensions are really expensive and require a professional hairdresser to put them in, but with clip-in hair, anyone can add great-looking hair at a fraction of the price. With a little bit of patience and practice, you can be an expert in styling your human hair extensions. You can be as creative as you won’t – wear it long and straight, curl it up or even put it in braids. There are many options that you can try when it comes to styling human extensions, although most women prefer the simple, long, and silky look.

Firstly, when choosing human hair extensions you need to be certain that the color of your natural hair will match the extension, if you want to make a bolder statement then choose a color that is different from your own or one that is even bolder, such as a bright red or blue.

After you have chosen the color you want your extensions to be, measure the length of your hair, if you have long hair already and just want to add some thickness, then you will want extensions that are the same length.
However, if you want to add length to the short style you are going to have to blend in the extensions so that they look natural. You can achieve this in two ways, either by purchasing different lengths so that your natural length looks like a short layer or to buy some long hair and then cut sections of it so that it looks like it has been styled, rather than just long hair that has been clipped in.

There are some simple steps that you need to follow to create the best look with your human extensions. First, you need to keep your hair clean and you need to remove knots by combing through it before you put on clip in hair extensions. If you want to straighten your hair first, make sure to use a good hair straightener before you apply the clip in hair extensions. You can also use a straightening iron on human hair extensions, but test the heat on a small piece first to make sure that it will not damage the hair strands. Once you have prepared your hair and the clip in extensions, you can then apply each piece one by one, gently comb after each application to make your natural hair blend well with the hairpieces. You can achieve a smoother finish by using the straightener again after all pieces are clipped in.

Human hair extensions are fantastic if you want a long curly appearance that looks like it is blowing in the wind like the Victoria Secret models. We all know that when we curl our hair, it shortens it and can end up around your ears. Not a great look unless you want to look like Shirley Temple. So, if you want those long gorgeous curls you will need to start with long hair first so human extensions are the perfect answer. Always use some heat protective spray on your hair and the extensions. It is also recommended that you use a clipless curling iron. That means there is no clamp on the curling iron barrel and this will mean that the hair won’t get caught and break and your human hair extensions won’t get damaged. To get the most natural look, it is best to wait to curl your extensions with your hair after all the pieces have been applied. By curling the hair after they have been applied, you will be able to create curls that have a blend of both your hair and the human hair extensions. This means that they will look more natural and it won’t be obvious that you have two different lengths of hair. There are many ways you can curl your hair including ribbon style curls, wavy hair, and normal curls. You can also curl your human hair extensions in an outwards direction for a blowing in the wind look or inwards for a sexy 1950s style.

You can also try wearing your human extensions in an up-style, like a ponytail. You can easily do this by reversing the way you attach the lower clip in the hairpieces so that the top part of the piece gets to the bottom when you tie your hair in a ponytail. Your natural hair and the clip in extension will blend naturally, giving you a smoother finish. Try gently combing back or teasing your natural hair to create a more voluminous look that can hide the clips better. Remember not to backcomb the human hair extensions so as not to damage them.

Human hair extensions are an excellent must-have fashion and beauty accessory that anyone can use. They make an excellent addition to your look and they instantly offer you long beautiful hair which may be styled in different ways. Long straight silky hair, curly and voluminous locks and sexy up-styles like ponytails are all easily achievable with good quality clip in hair extensions. The versatility of human hair extensions makes them great for all occasions, whether you wear them for special events or a day.

It is always a good idea to straighten your hair before clipping in the extensions so that it all looks smoother and a lot more natural, unless the look you want is a curly style, of course! Finally, make sure that when you wash and dry your extensions that you condition them like you would your hair and be aware that any over styling or heat will eventually damage the hair so take care of it.

How to take care of your wig

uniwigs

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.

THE WIG, A TIMELESS ACCESSORY!

uniwigs

The origin of the wig dates back thousands of years instead. The Egyptians are among the first to wear wigs. During ancient times, many Egyptians shaved their heads and used wigs to protect their heads. The wig can be of human, horse or synthetic origin. There are therefore wigs with synthetic and natural hair.

Besides the Egyptians, the Greeks and the Romans, victims of hair loss, also wear a wig. The wig had then become a symbol of prestige. In France, in the 17th century, King Louis XIII masked his baldness with hairpieces. Very quickly, many important men also began to wear the accessory while covering themselves with a wig to remain elegant. The success of wigs has not waned over the years. Even today they have become real fashion accessories for some and a real necessity for others. Knowing that they can be worn by both a man and a woman. But, whatever the reasons for wearing it – baldness, chemotherapy, change of look – using a wig is always beneficial.

UniWigs is an on-line wig store that offers hair toppers, human hair & synthetic wigs, hair extensions and pieces for women who want to look their best and feel confident. Whether it is for fashion, for fun or to compensate for hair loss or thinning hair, you can always find the perfect products here!
