Boy Grows Out His Hair for 2 Years to Donate to Kids With Cancer

At the age of almost four, Elijah Edney has never had a haircut in  his life.
But now he can’t wait to visit the barber’s – for two reasons. Losing his 2ft long golden tresses will mean that strangers stop mistaking him for a girl.

 

 

And the hair will be donated to charity, to provide a wig for a child with cancer or other conditions.

Elijah Edney needs to raise £350 for his hair to be turned into a wig for children with cancer. He has never had his hair cut but decided to take his first trip to the barbers because he is mistaken for a girl.

Mrs Edney and her husband Dean, from Buckland, Hampshire, will give their son’s locks to the Little Princess Trust, which helps youngsters suffering from hair loss.
Elijah, who has a six-year-old brother, Beau, is looking forward to having a spiky, two-inch crop.
Mrs Edney, a dinner lady, said: ‘Elijah has always had beautiful hair, so I let him grow it like he wanted. It’s like silk.
‘But now it is at a stage where people mistake him for a girl and he wants it cut into a boy’s haircut.
‘He will be four next month but everyone thinks he is a girl and he’s started to get frustrated.
Elijah’s shorn hair will go to the Little Princess Trust, which makes wigs for children with cancer and other hair-loss illnesses.
Mrs Edney and Elijah’s father, Dean Edney, want to collect enough money – £350 – to transform it into a wig for a sick child.
Mrs Edney said: ‘I couldn’t bear to see all Elijah’s beautiful hair go to waste and my mum mentioned about charities that use human hair to make into wigs.

How to Take the Frizz Out of a Synthetic Curly Wig

Synthetic wigs come in handy in a number of instances. An essential reason many people choose to use synthetic wigs is that they are much more affordable than natural fiber wigs. Unfortunately, synthetic material tends to tangle and frizz up much more easily than real hair does, which means a bit more care and attention in between uses. Curly wigs are particularly prone to frizzing out after a bout of heavy use. Some practical solutions can help gently calm and manage synthetic fibers on a regular basis.Curly Synthetic Wig from uniwigs.comStep 1

Comb through any tough knots or tangles very gently using a wig comb or pick. Be sure to use short, gentle motions on the wig as you detangle and avoid tugging roughly on the hairs.

Step 2

Fill a basin or sink with cold water and add about a tablespoon of wig shampoo to the water. This type of shampoo is gentle and will not stress the wig fibers like a regular shampoo might.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 3

Place the wig into the cold water and shampoo mixture and swish around gently to allow the shampoo to get into all the fibers. Allow the wig to sit in the water for about five minutes.

Step 4

Remove the wig from the water and rinse off with plain, cold water until all of the wig shampoo is washed out.

Step 5

Lay the curly wig on top of an absorbent towel with the bottom of the wig facing toward the towel and the curls laid out flat so that they have space to breath. Avoid brushing the wig while it is wet.

Step 6

Spritz a synthetic wig conditioner over all the curls while they are still damp. Hold the bottle about a foot away from the actual fibers. This product will encourage a frizz-free final hair piece.

Step 7

Allow the wig to dry completely. Remove the hair piece from the towel and shake the curls gently to encourage them to loosen and move.

Step 8

Comb through the curls very gently using a wig comb or pick. Comb each curl separately, if possible, and gently twist the curls using your fingers until the hair piece is smoothed out.

How to Straighten a Synthetic Wig

When you need to straighten a synthetic wig for a big event, you can’t rely on a flat-iron to do the job. Instead, use one of these two quick methods that will safely transform your wig into a sleek, fashionable look without melting the fibers.
Method 1 of 3: Prepare the Wig



1.Pin your wig to a wig head around the elastic (at the temples, top of the wig and nape of the neck) to secure it.





2. Put the wig head atop a secure stand so the fibers can hang loosely. A camera tripod will allow you to turn the head 360 degrees.



3.Detangle your wig with a flat brush to soften the curls. Don’t pull or you may stretch out the cap


Method 2 of 3: Steam Method for Gentle Straightening

1.Put the wig stand in a bathroom.



2.Run hot water in the bathtub or shower until the room is steamy.



































3. Begin brushing the wig gently with a wide
toothed flat comb to loosen the curls.



































4. Don’t stay too long-when condensation begins to build remove the wig from the room.
Method 3 of 3: Hairdryer Method for Extreme Straightening






1. After brushing the wig, gather all the hair except the bottom section, which lies directly over your neck, and pin up.



2.Spray the wig section with water to keep the fibers from overheating.




3.Pick up a piece of the wig section with a flat brush to separate the fibers.

4.Set the heat setting on the hairdryer to warm.



5.Move the brush and hairdryer downwards at the same time.Repeat, working upwards by section.



































6.Repeat, working upwards by section.

KELLY ROWLAND ROCKS HER NATURAL HAIR!

Kelly Rowland makes me smile every time I see her. From head-to toe, the girl just knows
how to work it for the camera, as her outfit, her makeup, and her hair are always 100% on point.I particularly love it when she rocks big bouncy curls.
The best part about Rowland’s look is that it rocks on absolutely everyone, no matter your natural texture, or how thin or thick, or long or short your locks are. Here’s how to get the look:
After cleansing and conditioning, dampen your hair with setting lotion.
Set small sections of your hair on perm rods. Choose your rod rollers wisely short rods are perfect for bangs and shorter lengths, mini rods help create the illusion of thicker hair, and large and jumbo rods are great for longer strands.
Sit under a hooded dryer for 30 to 45 minutes. If you don’t have access to one, tie a satin scarf over your head and use a hand held blowdryer instead. Make sure the hair is completely dry before removing your rods. If it isn’t, it’s likely to frizz, which you don’t want. For this look, curls should remain defined.
Gently rake through your new curls with your fingers, and shape it with your hands. Mist with holding spray to finish; your curls should last at least three days!

Learning How to Care for Your Hairpiece  

First Things First

Find a professional hair stylist and cosmetologist that you trust and can communicate with.  Consult with several different people until you are comfortable. Don’t leave yourself without options. There are many wig companies and many professional hair stylists. Don’t be talked into  a purchase that you are not comfortable with. Sometimes it is helpful to take this first step with the help of a friend. They can be lifesavers.

If possible, gather old pictures of yourself and different hairstyles that you like. Take them with you to the consultant. If you want a new look, search magazines and hairstyle books. With the help of your professional hair stylist there may be a hairpiece that will look like the desired style you want, or one that can be cut and styled to suit you.

Be sure to find a person that will treat you with dignity and honor. You need this person to care about how you are going to

feel and how you look when you leave. You want someone you will feel comfortable going back to.

Prior to purchasing a hairpiece, decide what you are able and willing to spend. Hairpiece can range from $65 to $5,000.

Buyer Beware! Do your research! When considering your purchase, you may want to think about purchasing two hairpieces

Like shoes, one hairpiece will get worn out faster. It is also helpful to have a backup in case one is dirty.

When you are considering human vs. synthetic hair, keep a few things in mind. Decide what you want. If you want easy, wash-n-go hair, consider purchasing a synthetic wig. Synthetic wigs are made of a plastic type fiber.

They typically will last about six months. They are easy to wash and will go back to their original style when washed,

fluffed and dried.

If you decide that you want human hair, understand what that means. Human hair is real hair. You have more styling options, but like real hair, if your hairpiece does not have a curl or permanent wave and you get rained on, it will go flat and you will need to restyle it.

After you decide the type of hairpiece that you are going to purchase or order, you may be asked if you want to have your wig precut or prestyled. DON’T DO IT! Remember that every person’s head and face shape is unique, and a wig should be cut and styled to fit you exactly.  Wait for the wig to come to you. Then carefully examine it before you do anything to it. Make sure the hair color is the color you ordered. Look at the construction of the hairpiece. Is it what you ordered? Make sure you are satisfied with your purchase before doing anything to it. And educate yourself about return policies. You want a company that will take care of you and guarantee their product.

 

Don’t Panic

When the wig comes in, it may look a little different than what the picture or example looked like. A little cut and a little texture and shaping will make all the difference in the world. Wigs tend to have about two times more hair than you are going to want. Don’t be afraid; this is where the professional hair stylist comes in. Remember be “in” the wig when it is cut and styled. You must communicate what you want. Even the best professionally trained stylists can’t read your mind.

 

You’re Home, Now What

First, don’t be afraid of your hair. The hair will not fall out. Play with it. If, after the first cut and shaping, you think it is too long on the top or sides, go back and have it shaped again. Remember, wig hair does not grow, so take it easy.

When is it time to wash your wig? There are a few ways to tell if your hairpiece needs washing. One certain way to determine whether or not it needs washing is to smell it. Wigs, like hair, pick up odors and pollution, and dirty wigs can look dull and sometimes frizzy. That’s the time to bathe them.

Don’t be afraid to work with your wig, play with it, and restyle it. HAVE FUN !!!! Remember that it’s your hair; you purchased it.

Why do people have different hair colors?

We always see people with different hair colors from either on TV or in the poster, or even in person. They 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?

2

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.

 

 

 

4What 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. Though it’s one of the most fashionable colors now as we all know.

 

 

 

 

5As 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.
