Step by Step on How to Attach your Lace Full/Front Wig

How to Attach your Lace Front Wig


You can attach your lace front wig using either a liquid adhesive or a tape adhesive. You can achieve a secure hold using either method...which option to choose is simply a matter of personal preference. You will be attaching the lace front unit to your skin right below your hairline and regardless if you use liquid adhesive or tape you need to make sure that this area is clean, free of oils and hairless or you will not achieve a good hold.

Step 1: Prep Your Hairline
First, cut the lace back to the hairline. Be careful not to cut any of the hair. Place the wig on your head. Position the wig hairline in front of your own actual hairline so you don’t have to worry about the glue touching your hair. Once you are satisfied with the matching of the wig and your hairline, trim the lace back to the hairline and match it with your own hairline to ensure a natural appearance.

Step 2: Clean
Use scalp protector Clean your face and next with insuring that you get all areas around the perimeter of your hairline. Use a non-oily soap as the original Dial or Irish Spring. After cleaning, dab or spray your Scalp Protector around the perimeter of your head right below your hairline. The scalp protector protects your skin as it creates a barrier between your skin and the lace wig adhesive. It also helps to keep skin oils at bay (oily skin weakens the bond of the adhesives and prevents the strongest hold). Allow the Scalp Protector to dry completely before applying the adhesive.

Step 3: Adhesive Application
Liquid Adhesive Directions
Use the liquid adhesive very sparingly as a little goes a long way. Depending on which adhesive you choose to use, it may come with an application brush. If your adhesive does not come with a brush then use a small, thin item such as an eye shadow brush to apply the adhesive.

Apply a thin coat of lace wig adhesive hair. around the perimeter of your head right below your hairline. Use a cool blow dryer for about 30-45 seconds to dry the glue until it's tacky/sticky. Once the adhesive is tacky, this can take up to 15 minutes depending on which product you use, it is time to apply the wig.

(It is very important to make sure that the adhesive is very tacky/sticky before you apply your lace wig because if it is not the wig may start to lift in a couple of days). Starting with the front hairline, press the lace wig unit and glued area together and apply constant pressure until the unit stays by itself. This may take 1 minute or longer, but be patient. Repeat the steps for your nape and sides. Before you style the wig please wait 15 minutes to allow the lace wig glue to adhere and completely dry.

These are the basic steps that you will take regardless of what type of liquid adhesive you use. You will develop your own application techniques with practice.

Wig Tape Adhesive Directions
The wig tape is available in strips or as a roll. The tape is sticky on both sides. You will basically peel one side of the tape to expose the adhesive and apply a layer to your skin around the perimeter of your head below the hairline. You will then put the lace wig on your head and position it so that the perimeter edge of the wig lines up with edge of the tape. If you have not done so already you will want to pin the wig hair up so that loose hair does not get in the way during the attachment process. Once the wig hair is pinned up and out of the way, peel the tape backing off to reveal the adhesive. Beginning with the front hairline, proceed to attach the wig by pressing and holding it to the adhesive for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Repeat the steps for your nape and sides.

Everything You Should Know about Hair Replacement

Everything You Should Know about Hair Replacement

A look into the types of hair loss and different treatments that is available for hair loss.

For many people losing hair can be an extremely upsetting and disturbing experience. People who suffer from hair loss usually experience forms of anxiety as a result of losing their hair. This is often a very mild feeling of insecurity or may be apparent as a loss of confidence. This is because many people believe that if they lose their hair that people perceive them differently to when they have a full head of hair.

The fact is that in many cases people do have a different perception of someone that has lost their hair but in reality the effect of this is minimal.

Nevertheless the psychological effects of losing hair should not be understated. Both men and women experience a loss of confidence as a result of hair loss and this is because for many their hair is considered a vital part of their sexuality. For both men and women hair is associated with sexuality and those without hair often feel that they are not as sexy as they were with a full head of hair.

It is fair to say that this tends to affect women more often than it affects men. Women are generally less prone to hair loss than men and because there are lots of cases in which men lose their hair it is in some ways more widely accepted in our culture. The negative image of baldness is somewhat surprising when compared to the image of hair loss in primates.

Gorillas actually revere members of their social group that are balding. Indeed gorillas have been found to rub their heads against hard objects in an attempt to reduce the thickness of their hair. This is seen to make them more attractive to the opposite sex. Why is this not always the case with humans?

Causes

One of the main causes of hair loss is as a result of hereditary factors. Male pattern baldness is the most common form of hair loss and there are hundreds of thousands of men that experience this type of hair loss. It is considered a natural form of hair loss and many people decide against a course of action and accept it. Pattern baldness also happens to women but far fewer women suffer this form of hair loss as men.

Another cause of hair loss is trichotillomania. This is a disease in which people that suffer compulsively pull out their own hair. The hair loss that is caused by this disease tends to leave bald on the sufferers head in the areas in which the hair was pulled out. The positive thing about this type of hair loss is that the hair can usually grow back providing the sufferer is able to stop pulling it out. Another form of hair loss that is often experienced is that caused by radiation as a result of treatment for cancer. This type of hair loss can be particularly upsetting but usually clears up after treatment has ended.

Hair replacement techniques

Hair transplant surgery has been around for around one hundred years. In medical terms it is a very young discipline and as a result it has experienced a great number of advancements in recent years. The techniques that are used have been updated and amended throughout the years and as a result refinements in the ways procedures are carried out are happening all the time.

Women’s Hair Loss: Causes and Natural Cures

These days not only men are losing there hair but it is also women who are experiencing hair loss. There are not many products available for a woman at the moment, due to the simple fact that it is not a very common occurrence. This being said there are a lot of natural solutions that are available to help get your hair back and growing strong. The reason that women actually lose there hair is because of the fact that blood flow is decreased to there hair follicles. This being said there is lots of ways to get your blood flowing correctly and sending the correct energy to the top of your head.

Firstly you will have to consider the underlying cause of hair loss. What is causing your blood flow to be restricted, are you stressed at work? Do you live in a big city centre where pollution is at its peak? Before any solution or natural treatment should commence you should firstly try to find the cause and then try stripping that out of your life. If you are living in a polluted area think about getting a flat outside of the area to help your lifestyle.

You should also take into account the current products you are using, try to use top of the range products which you know will be good for your hair. I always see a lot of women brushing there hair with anger ripping out strands after strands. No matter how many knots you have you should try to keep calm and slowly comb through them, also I know some women have really down days but one of the biggest causes of hair loss is actually pulling your hair back, this causes the follicles to be put under enormous stress and they just end up collapsing.

If none of the above has worked you can try a wide variety of natural home made products such as rosemary, oat extract and horsetail these are great for strengthening up your immune system and they are rich in minerals, which is the key to having strong nails and hair. Whichever option you decide to take you should always remember to keep a balanced and healthy diet, if you keep feeding your body junk and oil it will end up showing on the outer layers of your body. So the three steps you need to take are find the cause, eliminate the problem if this still does not work try the natural mentioned solutions.
