THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LACE, MONO, SKIN, AND SILK

Wigs continue to become more popular with time. A good wig is a great confidence booster. With continuous demand for wigs, there is now a vast variety of them available. Wigs provide a great option for the wearer whether it is for styling, versatility, length, density, medical issues, convenience, preventing damage, or protecting your hair. Doing research is important to choose the perfect wig for you. The choice of the wig depends on individual needs. You need to know what you are looking for.
The material of the wig is a huge factor for deciding what wig you want. The base material is the foundation of your wig. Lace, mono, skin, and silk are the most common materials in wig construction. Below are what each base offers.

1.LACE
Lace is the most popular material for wigs. This is due to it being so comfortable and breathable. It is made of a finely knitted mesh fabric that easily blends with the scalp giving the illusion of a seamless hairline. Its high degree of natural-looking appearance makes it extremely popular. It is versatile owing to its natural appearance. The light-weight material makes it breathable and comfortable to wear. Because of its lightness, lace is delicate and has a tendency to tear easily, therefore, it needs to be handled gently. Sometimes the lace knot can be visible so one can bleach knots to make them seem less visible.
It is important to keep lace out of direct sunlight when not being worn. This helps prevent the color from fading.lace wigStraight hair wigs

There are 2 types of lace;
French lace–It is light, soft, and breathable. The front lace is made using single split knots. These knots are small thus giving the appearance of a natural look. It is very flexible and can stretch to fit the areas of the scalp needed. It is a light material and the breathability makes French lace extremely popular. Your favorite celebrity has probably rocked a French lace wig on the red carpet. This is because French lace is great for a warm or humid environment, so no sweating or your head feeling hot and heavy because of the wig on your head. It can take a medium to heavy density and has a lifespan of 3-4 months.
Swiss Lace-In comparison to French lace, Swiss lace is more breathable, more flexible, finer, softer, more natural, lighter, and more delicate. Due to its delicacy, only single split knots are used. Swiss lace is the most undetectable between the two laces. The material being so fragile means it is prone to tear easily and can only take a light-medium density. It does not hold as much as lace. Due to its delicacy, it has a lifespan of 1-2 months.

2.MONO
Also known as monofilament. It is made up of a fine-grade layer mesh base that is gauze-like nylon material. The material is somewhat translucent and gives the natural appearance that hair is directly growing from the scalp. It is the most durable amongst all base materials. The hair fibers are hand tied individually into the mesh. The sheer material which is made of polyester or sometimes nylon makes the base softer and more comfortable. This makes mono wigs great for those with a sensitive scalp, suffering from a medical condition, and cancer patients.
Being a hand-tied wig means the hair sticks up and falls naturally which ultimately gives the realistic appearance on the scalp. It also gives that additional natural hair flow movement as your hair would. Small holes are used which allows for the mono wigs to be more durable and take up medium to extra heavy density. These types of wigs are best for a very dense wig and you do not have to worry about the base tearing easily. Due to its quality and durability, mono wigs are pricier.
It is important to note that the small holes used on the monofilament material, make cleaning it slightly difficult. Not cleaning it properly can damage the roots of the hair and base, thus compromising its quality. Be careful when applying adhesive glue as it is not easy to wash off. Mono wigs are great for styling often thanks to its durability. This also means it has a longer life span of 6- 12 months.mono wigsbrown wigs3.SKIN
Skin is made up of a blend of thin translucent polyurethane material and this is what gives the appearance of human skin. The hair gives the illusion it is directly growing out of the scalp. Unlike lace and mono that are ventilated using hand-tied knots, hair is injected into the skin material. This is what gives the natural undetectable appearance. Skin material comes in colors that resemble human skin tones. This innovative technique of constructing the skin base gives that flawless realistic look. It is light and thin making it comfortable and it easily molds to the shape of your scalp. It is great for people suffering from a sensitive scalp, alopecia or undergoing medical treatment. It takes a light-medium density due to its lightness and has a lifespan of 1-5 months.skin top wigsRealistic wig4.SILK
Is made up of a combination of silk and lace material. The knots are hidden between a layer of lace and, below the silk. Just like the skin base, the hair is injected into the silk material, therefore, knots are hidden and invisible giving the seamless appearance of hair growing from the scalp. One gets to enjoy the combination of these two pieces as the concealed knots are invisible thanks to the layering. Invisible knots mean no bleaching of knots or pre-plucking required.
Silk base enjoys all the benefits of lace and mono. Due to the extra attention to detail in its construction, silk base is more expensive. The silk base is a very soft material; so, the wig is much comfortable to wear. It is material layering, so it will not tear easily, therefore, more durable than lace or skin base with a lifespan of 5-12 months. silk and lace wigsSilk base wigs

How to Level-up Brown Wigs

Selecting your natural hair color is always recommended when choosing a wig or topper. However, choosing isn’t always as easy as it sounds. There’s literally thousands of shades of all different colors to choose from, and while most wig companies select the most common, it’s still hard and a little risky when trying to match your exact tone. That’s why at Uniwigs we want to help solve the mystery of choosing the best color options by showing you what works and how colors are graded based on natural tone.

One thing you have to know is that not all hair manufacturers are the same. Lower grade hair is always more difficult to process and in turn, more difficult to turn into the right color. At Uniwigs, we use the highest grade natural human hair available to get the perfect shade every time. Even with our advanced manufacturing techniques, one thing to point out is that brown hair will always carry a reddish hue across the color spectrum. The reason for this is because the base color for manufacturing is a natural black. Turning black into a brown is a delicate process, which is why you should always choose Uniwigs for your wigs and toppers. Our shades of brown have the most natural look while retaining all of the quality and elements you expect in natural human hair.

G-2
Our G-2 shade of brown human hair is the closest shade to natural dark brown hair available on the market. If you prefer a slightly darker-muted look, we also offer 211 expresso brown. Now you’re asking yourself “Aren’t these two colors the same?”. The answer might surprise you. While it’s safe to say that to an untrained eye, these two colors are very similar in appearance, there’s just one detail that goes completely unnoticed and that’s the reddish hue we mentioned earlier in this article. Both colors offer the natural advantage of helping to blend in with your natural hair, but you’ll also want to consider your complexion combined with the “warmth” of your own hair tone before choosing between these two shades.

G-4 or 210?

Medium brown or Truffle Brown? They’re both the same right? Not exactly. As we mentioned before with our darker browns, it’s easier to see the different warmer and colder tones between these two brown’s. Medium brown is your typical cool tone brown that also happens to be the most common among buyers. From the pictures though, it’s easier to see as the tone of natural brown hair lightens, you’ll also find reddish hues within. Which brings us to our Truffle brown and how to decide between the two. Truffle Brown simply has warmer tone infused into the shade, which is a better option for those with a warmer complexion as well. You can see the difference side-by-side, but it’s even more important when wearing the hairpiece as the difference will help bring out your natural complexion.

At Uniwigs.com we have several options when it comes to choosing your perfect wig or topper. You can always speak to one of our helpful customer service agents as well. Our goal is to help you get your confidence back and there’s no better way than with a new wig or topper. We can also offer samples if you’re trying to get the exact match, or you can send us a sample of your hair and we can offer our professional recommendation and make sure you get exactly what you want and need.

Tips for the newbies to choose the perfect hair toppers!

Hair loss always hurts! What kind of wigs should I buy? What is a topper exactly? If you are new to the wig world, having no ideas about hair toppers, halos, and other wig stuffs Then I guess you’re lucky to be here, I’m here to share some useful tips and answers of the most asked questions.

Firstly let’s make the what a hair topper is clear! What is a hair topper? Literally it’s a hairpiece, we can call it half wig which placed on the top of our heads to cover hair loss areas. Clips are usually used to place them. Also, toppers or hairpieces can usually work semi-permanently, they’re smaller pieces of alternative hair then a wig is. They can specifically work for the area of thin hair by adding volume. A great hair topper will definitely transform your look instantly!

Tip#1 Choose the right type&lace

Please note: Synthetic hair usually can’t be customized to your own hair color&most shiny.
The laces of the toppers can differ from one by one. Let me introduce several most common types. First comes heat defiant hair or you can call it heat-friendly hair. It can be styled with heat like curling irons. The type literally looks very natural! Then synthetic hair fiber is also quite common along the wig users. It is heat defiant too but it is not heat resistant, which means you can roll it on rollers or use a low heat hot air brusher. Human hair lace is the most natural type of all! It can be treated like your own hair. But the cons can be lacking breath ability compared to synthetic type. Also, it costs more than the synthetic hair fiber. The last type I’m gonna tell is human & synthetic blend hair. Please be quite careful with this option since applying heat may cause the synthetic to freeze. Most importantly, make sure you have read the guide book before you have done anything to your topper!

Tip#2 Choose a light density

Density of the topper is measured based on the base of topper and the grams of hair that it has. If you are the new to it, I will advise to try the light density firstly. It will make your look more natural and yourself will also feel more comfortable wearing it.

Tip#3 Measure the right size

Please prepare a tape measure first, then we can measure the area that you want to cover. Doing it from left to right and front to back on the top of your head. Keep this in mind that allow for an extra inch for attaching the clips to your natural hair.

Tip#4 Color decision

What color of toppers should I buy? Please pick the closest color to your bio hair. You can’t go wrong with this principle!

Cutting Your Wig Like a Stylist

Wigs can be a lot of fun. You can add instant length to your hair or change your hair color temporarily all by putting on a wig. Most wigs come pre-styled so it’s often necessary to do a little restyling to get a look that suits your face. You may even need to trim your wig to get the right look. Of course, you can always hit up your favorite stylist for customizations, but when that’s not an option, there’s a few simple ways to update your wig from the comfort of your own home.

Here are some of our favorite tips for changing up your wigs including bang trims, texturizing, and even cutting the hair into a sassy, long bob. You don’t have to be a professional stylist to make some simple snips that transform your wig into a whole new look. Moreover, remember to always use good quality hair scissors and to take your time! With a little bit of patience, you can cut and style your own wig at home. Now refer to some popular ways on how to trim your wig!

uniwigs cut wig

  1. Place your wig on a wig stand and pin it into place. Put several T-pins in the hair line and in front of the ears to secure the wig to the stand. Check that the wig stand is straight, too! If you don’t have T-pins, you could also use basic sewing pins.
  2. Comb or brush the hair to remove any tangles. Spend a few minutes gently brushing out your wig. You want to ensure that there are no tangles or sections of hair that aren’t falling where they should. Since your wig doesn’t grow back, you need to be patient when preparing to cut it. This is a great time to think about what length you want your wig to be if you don’t already know.
  3. Start with the back of the wig and work in small sections. Move your fingers down the hair until they are at the length where you want to wig to be. Try to hold the hair so that it’s flat between your middle and index fingers, rather than bunched together. If you want to make a drastic change and go from long hair to medium-length or short hair, just adjust where you’re going to make the cuts to get the length you desire.
  4. Cut the hair at a 45-degree angle, taking care to not cut your fingers. Use your hair-cutting scissors and cut up into the hair, trimming it across the entire length of your fingers. Make small, even snips to prevent any accidents. You could cut straight across rather than at a 45-degree angle, but the angle helps the hair look more natural than a straight, blunt cut would.
  5. Trim the entirety of your wig until all the ends are the same length. When moving on to a new section, use some of the hair from an already-cut area to guide the trimming so everything ends up being the same length. Keep in mind that you can always trim or cut your wig shorter if you want to in the future, but you can’t make it longer!
  6. Snip off any loose, long hairs that you missed in the trimming process. Walk all around the wig, checking the ends for any long, scraggly hairs you might have missed in the trimming process. Snip them off to clean up your wig. Also check the length of the hairs on either side of the wig to make sure they are even.

After following these six steps, you will find out a whole new wig with the style you want! If you are trying to find the best wig, Uniwigs is always here to help!

Tips for Best Clip In Hair Extensions

When you are looking for the best clip in hair extensions, there’re tons of recommended hair suppliers on google and you are still confused what’s the best hair extensions. Clip-in hair extensions can transform their hair volume and length instantly, that’s why people like to use them at home.

We will define the best clip in hair extension from the below aspects to help you choose.

  1. Hair Fiber

There are two kinds of fiber with clip-in hair extensions: human hair and synthetic fiber. Both fibers are good for different using. If you are a human hair fan, there’s no reason you can choose human hair. But if you live in Texas where it’s super hot for six or seven months out of the year, you may be considered synthetic fiber. Because you would do updo hairstyles probably 95% of the time, as human hair is more expensive, compared with that, it worths to wear synthetic hair extensions. For human hair, you wear it down and wavy to show the beautiful hairstyles, but it’s too hot. That’s the reason we suggest considering how you use it.

  1. Quality made

The increased consumer demand for high-quality hair extensions. The hair processed to high-quality extensions is stored for production, first strands of hair from each bundle go through special tests to measure their elasticity and to confirm that the hair’s cuticle layer is still intact. The analysis of each hair bundle shows if the hair is chemically treated or colored if testing indicates the hair has been subjected to chemical processing, it cannot be used for the production. After testing the hair, then sewn the hair onto muslin fabric to keep the strands in root to end alignment and organize through the production process. The next step is deep pigmentation. This is a patented osmosis process for removing the hair’s original color without the use of damaging bleach. The color process is performed in small batches by hand by the master colorist to accommodate the sensitivities of the hair. This process develops the base colors required for the next step of hand blending the colors first the hair is gently dried no aggressive heat is used.

The hair is sorted until the length of all of the hair in this patch is of the same length roots to end. The next step is the preparation for attaching the bond. This is what attaches the extensions to one’s natural hair. First, the root end of the hair is pressed, then the bonding strips are pressed onto the hair. The bonded hair is then placed into the printing machine, which shapes imprints and cuts the individual.

The meticulous custom application process is taught to hairdressers in comprehensive certification training facilitated by experienced educators. Now everything is ready for a masterfully applied perfectly blended Great Lengths application.

  1. The best suit

It means neither bad if you purchase a cheap hair extension, nor good if you spend hundreds of money on a hair extension. If you get the right length, or it creates perfect color with your hair, matches well, offers enough hair volume, that’s it. Those are the hair extensions for you. Think about that, you have thick hair, and you have a 10 pieces 200g hair extension set, when you wear all the hairpieces on your hair, you will feel so much weight and unnatural looking. Then you won’t put all hairpieces on, you may just choose a few of them, then how about the left pieces? You just put it in the box, actually, that’s the waste. You waste your money, waste your time, waste your area and waste a lot on it. Of course, we can choose to wear it with the different pieces. But, it’s not the best suit. So choose the right length, color, grams, fibers, and price you can afford is the best.

  1. Price

If you are the first time buying hair extensions, you will have no idea where to even begin with hair extensions, price would be considered as the main factor. The more expensive, the best. There is nothing wrong with it. The main you can do is to compare the features from different retailers. The fiber, the length, the color, the grams, and so on. So you can choose the best one you can pay for.

  1. Brand

If you wear hair extensions frequently, you would know some brands like Bellami hair extensions, Luxy Hair extensions, Glam seamless hair extensions, hidden crown hair extensions…brands mean a quality guarantee.

For beginners, we do suggest purchasing from a brand seller, and after you experience it, you will know how to use it, and you won’t go out without hair extensions. You will fall in love with wearing hair extensions, you will obtain what hair extensions can bring for you, just like you can’t go out without makeup.

Different from other brand sellers, UniWigs source hair on their own, made hair extensions by their own factory, which’s a big save for consumers. Not only they sell products to wholesalers but also to individuals, which requires strong quality inspection ability. From the product page, lots of customers share the reviews and experience of wearing hair extensions.

The only problem for UniWigs is the shipping time. We can find some products are in a short time 3-5 business days, but most of the products are 7-10 business days. If you know a bit of thing about the production. You would understand and totally pay for that.

Checking with customer service, for 3-5 business days, means it has stock, but they need 1-2 days to wash, care when they take it out of the box, they put it in air day, so that takes 1 or 2 days. For 7-10 business days, it means the product is out of stock, they arrange the product once the customer places the order. It’s like fresh food, you can taste the best food with the fresh material. We can get the new hair extension, we save a lot.

So, above all, do you have considerations, comment below.

Lace, Skin, Mono Hair Systems, How to Choose?

Here we are with another article aimed at the best knowledge and awareness of the world of hair implants, wigs, and toupees. This time we have thought of describing all the characteristics of all types of materials used in the creation process, hoping it will come in handy. Enjoy the reading!

Hair implants, how to make it more natural

How to make a wig look like our beloved, lost hair? What are the tricks?

More than on whether it is true or false, it depends on the quality of the wig, so the carnival toy wig, so to speak, will never look like a mass of real hair.

As experts point out, it depends a lot on the hairline. The best wigs have a hairline that reveals the skin, called lace. If we are not satisfied, we can ask to style it by cutting a tuft or bangs.

Surely, trying it a little at home can help us feel at ease when we are away. It is also important to “play” with the wig as if it were our hair: a tuft behind the ear, a scratch, roll a lock around a finger. Hair is an integral part of our expressiveness and our facial expressions.

We can then make braids, tails, chignons, and hairstyles that do not highlight the hairline. Wear a hair clip, hairpin or headband, as well as hats, caps, and scarves. Go to the hairdresser for a trim. However, we will be careful of heat sources, strong wind, children who pull our hair.

Another trick suggested by the experts in the use of talcum powder or dry shampoo to make it less shiny and more similar to our natural hair.

Finally, it must be considered that wigs are always perfect, which our hair never will be. Let me explain: if you were to go out in a hurry, you would put on the first thing you find, maybe you would make a queue and go. With the wig no, whatever your outfit, you will always have a perfectly tidy hairstyle, which can create contrast. This is why I suggest pliers or flannel when you are less careful in clothing. Conversely, when you dress well, you will always have tidy and perfectly styled hair.

5 myths about wigs to dispel

1 They are hot and annoying

Modern hair crowns are not like old wigs or hairpieces of yore, they are not heavy and they are not hot. They are in fact made with very thin and breathable bases. When you wear them, you will not only not have the sensation of a foreign body, but you will just not feel them.

The wearers of our products, for example, say that once adhered to their skin, the sensation is like that of having their hair back, you feel the air on the skin and if you take a shower, for example, you feel the water on the head, as if it were your hair then, not a heavy and uncomfortable body.

2 They move with the wind or if one touches our hair and head

This fear arises from various comedies and even advertisements. Who hasn’t seen on TV scenes of wearing wigs who see their hair flying with the wind or a comedy where an often ridiculous character sees their hair literally fly after a slap?

It is not so. Modern hair prostheses and wigs are not old hairpieces, they are in fact adhered to your skin with very resistant glues, and therefore if there is wind the hair will move, just like that of normal hair, not the whole system. If someone touches your hair or gives you a slap nothing will happen (apart from the right physical pain you will have), but even more so, if someone gets into a fight with you and pulls your hair, they will not find the prosthesis in hand but at most, just as happens in nature, a few hairs.

So rest assured, nothing happens to your men’s toupee with the wind or fighting, but please try to live in peace and do not fight for nonsense.

3 My alopecia due to lack of air will get worse

No girls and boys, it’s not like that, alopecia doesn’t get worse for a hair prosthesis.

In fact, among the wearers of thinning crown prostheses, we have many people for example who use them due to pharmacological alopecia (chemotherapy), and all, once the treatment is finished, have complete regrowth of their hair.

So, you do not have to fear a worsening of alopecia for the prosthesis. Clearly, it could get worse because it was destined to get worse over time, since androgenetic alopecia tends to increase over time, but never because you are using a hair prosthesis. That is just a legend underground without any foundation.

4 You cannot swim or shower with them

Many fear that if you wear a hair prosthesis you cannot take a shower and worse still go to the sea or swim in the pool. They fear they will find the prosthesis floating next to them.

But this is also clearly a myth without any foundation, deriving from the old world of toupees and movable hairpieces. The capillary prostheses, as we have said, are anchored to your skin with strong adhesives suitable for human use and hypoallergenic, which often are activated with sweat. So taking a bath not only will not move, but the adhesion will increase if you use one of these new adhesives. Rest assured, with hair implants you can not only have a normal life, but also a sporty and active life.

5 They are visible and unnatural

This is just a baseless fantasy. If you have any doubts, please watch the many videos we have published on our Youtube channel! As you can see from all the videos, the prostheses are totally invisible and natural.

In fact, the bases of the new hair prostheses disappear perfectly in contact with the skin and ensure a hair so perfect that you can even comb it with your hair all back.

Basis Types

Wigs are divided into two main parts: the base and the hair. The base can consist of different materials and even combinations of them. There are more resistant materials, others less visible, some easy to clean and others breathable.

NB: it is very important to understand what are the characteristics you would like to have for your prosthesis. For example: if you live in a hot and muggy region, or if you go towards the summer, it is better to buy a wig with a breathable fabric that freshness to your scalp. So pay attention to your habits and what surrounds you.

Lace

Lace is certainly the best-known material for the anterior area of the hair prosthesis. Have you ever heard of lace front? It is a lace-like fabric, light, soft, and completely breathable. There are two main types of lace: French and Swiss.

French lace is imperceptible and more resistant than Swiss lace. It bears even quite high hair density.

Many customers require Swiss lace for the front area because it is the most natural-looking one. True, but it is also very delicate and easy to accidentally tear off during daily care. It is not compatible with hair densities higher than medium-light.

We refer to the lace front when this fabric is used exclusively in the front area of the wig, for a more natural look.

Monofilament

Mono Hair Replacement System for Men

Monofilament is a fabric similar to lace, also completely breathable, but more resistant, therefore thicker and consequently less imperceptible. It usually lasts between four and six months, but some customers manage to wear it for almost a year! Here are the main types:

  • The resistant monofilament (fine welded mono) is certainly the most resistant material and therefore can support high hair densities.
  • The fine monofilament (fine mono) is certainly the most used material in the wig and hair prosthesis industry and also one of the most chosen among customers because it is a good compromise between imperceptibility and resistance. It is mainly used for the central areas of wigs and is enclosed in a perimeter of PU (polyurethane) to prevent it from falling apart at the edges.
  • The very fine monofilament (superfine mono) is the most delicate and soft, with smaller holes than the other two types. Due to this characteristic, it is not compatible with hair densities higher than medium-light / medium.
  • Monofilament silk effect (silk mono): this fabric consists of a combination of two fabrics: lace and monofilament. The hair is knotted first in a layer of lace and then passed into a layer of monofilament. In this way, it is impossible to see the knot, because it remains under the top layer of the monofilament.
  • German mesh: recommended for those who prefer durability to a natural look. It is indeed the most resistant material, but it is thicker and therefore more visible.

Skin

All Poly Skin Hair Replacement System for Men
All Poly Skin Hair Replacement System for Men

This material is the most advanced. It is PU (polyurethane, a plastic material) of different thicknesses and is called ‘skin’ in English because the effect is leather-like. These products are absolutely imperceptible and very easy to apply to the skin and clean. Unlike the other materials seen so far, they are not breathable. Let’s see the most important ones:

The ultra-thin has a thickness of 0.03 mm. Which makes it completely invisible, but at the same time not very resistant. It usually lasts for a maximum of 2 months.

There is also a type of film a little more resistant than those mentioned above, which is the film with gauze. It is characterized by a gauze-like fabric to which a layer of PU is applied. The super-thin is instead of 0.08 mm. Thicker, therefore more resistant. Finally, the silicone is 0.25mm thick. It is a very common material and is the strongest of all leather-like products.

To say or not to say that you are using a hair system?

Twenty years ago, hair implants weren’t what they are now. Thanks to technological progress, the production processes have been improved, resulting in an infinity of very well-achieved hair systems in terms of structure, quality, finish, and, above all, absolutely undetectable both to the eyes and to the touch.

Now times have changed and we can have several options to solve alopecia aesthetically using hair systems, as most of these are usually not detectable, although they also affect this factor, the style of the hairstyle in combination with the type of hair prostheses worn by the customer.

However, we know that taking this step leads to a number of fears and doubts. But these must be brushed aside by the fact that using one of our wigs will increase your confidence whether you are a man or a woman. If what you want most in your life is to see yourself with hair from when you were young or longer hair, you will have no reason not to wear a wig! Think how much you will benefit from it as a person!

Sometimes we tend to forget about ourselves and the pleasure we have when we look in the mirror with what we most want to wear. It is enough to spend very little to take home that something that makes us feel good and live as we have always wanted, so why withdraw from the purchase?

Other useful tips

Use tweezers to pinch any areas that seem unnatural to you. To make the parting space mimic real hair and scalp, pluck some hair from the parting space to spread it to a natural density.

Put makeup on the base of the wig. Use face powder, concealer, or foundation to help blend the skin tone with the wig.

If the wig looks bulky, apply a mousse and mash it with a scarf. Of course, if you love voluminous hair, you don’t have to do anything. Also, if your hair feels a little too shiny, you can spray some dry shampoo and brush.

Cut the wig as close to the hairline as possible, especially if it has lace. Although lace front wigs are designed to look like skin, it is essential to cut as close to the hairline to help the wig blend into your skin. Take your time and use sharp scissors to be precise.

How to Wear Hair Extensions for Thick Hair?

When choosing hair extensions, you have to consider the hair volume and grams. Different grams for different hair volumes you have. Usually, we define three types of hair volume we have: thin, medium, and thick. Today, we will talk about how to choose and wear hair extensions for people with thick hair.
Usually, the hair extensions glam between 180g and 220g will be enough. Just think, how to weigh it would be if you wear an extension above 250g. That’s why we don’t recommend that kind of hair extensions.

So what to do if it’s thin for me?

That depends on the tips on how you wear the hair extensions.
The key is to hide away some of your own hair! This will eliminate some of the bulkiness and help to blend your own hair with the extensions.

How to wear it?

Normally if you put your extensions in according to the instructions, you would section the bottom half of your hair and then put in your extensions. If you already have thick hair that bottom layer is going to be pretty heavy and when you lift up your extensions you are going to see just this row of really short hair.

160G 20
160G 20″ Invisible Clip-in Remy Human Hair Extensions

So what I’m going to show you is how you can get your extensions without that bottom layer.

First, you have to make a section at the back and braid the bottom hair. When you make the section, the position is very important: at the nape of the neck? Ear to ear? Or at the crown? That depends on how thick your hair, grasp the hair extension with one hand, and grasp your hair with another hand, compare the thickness of them, then estimate the extra hair volume of your hair compared with the hair extensions, section the extra hair with the right place.
Then make two braids for the extra hair.

Then pin both braids together. That’s good for hiding the extra hair, and also works for clipping the hair extension.

After that, you will find that your hair is not so thick.
Then you can add hair extensions as usual. If you are a perfectionist you can always straighten your hair to match the texture. But don’t forget it’s going to be super noticeable to you and not so noticeable to people who have never seen you before. So we suggest doing some curls, which would be much undetectable than straight hair.

How to Maintain Synthetic Wigs

Whether it’s a human hair wig or a relatively cheaper synthetic wig, after they have been worn for a long time, they can often experience issues such as dry hair or frequent knots and tangles.
Synthetic wigs need to be maintained with the correct synthetic haircare, and they shouldn’t be treated or maintained like human hair wigs.
Here we will cover some great tips that can help you to maintain your synthetic wigs!

How to Maintain Synthetic Wigs
How to Maintain Synthetic Wigs

1. Synthetic wigs can’t take the dye
Synthetic fiber can’t easily take dye like human hair. As synthetic hair does not have natural pigments in the fiber, regular hair dye cannot color the fiber. To dye a synthetic wig, only dyes specially designed for synthetic hair can be used.

2. Cut carefully
The good news is that synthetic wigs can be cut. Although synthetic fiber is harder than human hair, and so it is more difficult to cut. To trim your synthetic wig or change its style, it’s recommended to go to a professional stylist.

3. Ditch the hair products
Too many hair products, specifically hair lacquer-based products such as hairspray, hair gel, and hair wax can make synthetic fiber sticky, resulting in more frequent tangles. Once these hair lacquer products get on synthetic fiber, it’s difficult to get them off.

4. Go for synthetic-friendly shampoos and conditioners
As synthetic fiber is not like human hair, they need special shampoos and conditioners designed for synthetic fiber to wash and maintain. And for haircare, non-oily maintenance products are recommended to maintain the hair rather than regular hair oil or serum.

5. Not all synthetic fibers are heat friendly
Although they are all called synthetic wigs, there are several different types of synthetic wigs. There are many different synthetic fibers made from different materials that are used on different synthetic wigs. Some synthetic fibers, such as Futura, Tru2Life, RealTress, and Henlong are heat-friendly to temperatures under 350°F/180°C. In contrast, synthetic fibers such as polyester, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), acrylic, and Kanekalon are not heat-friendly and can’t be curled or straightened with heat tools.

6. Wash correctly
The less washing, the better for synthetic wigs. It is recommended to wash a synthetic wig every 10-15 wears or every 1-4 weeks. Go for synthetic shampoos and conditioners and use lukewarm water to soak the wig for 2-3 minutes with shampoo before washing. After washing, do not rub or wring the wig. Instead, gently squeeze the water out and blot dry.

7. Air dry
Like mentioned before, synthetic fiber is not like human hair. Some synthetic wigs are not able to be styled with heat. Frequently using hair dryers also makes synthetic wigs more likely to become frizzy or tangled. So, the best way to dry synthetic wigs is to air dry them on a wig stand (not wig heads as they can cause the cap to loosen out of shape).
