14/06/2007 11:13:29 - How long can I wear the wig for?
|
The wig can be worn for up to six weeks. The duration of the wig depends on the adhesive that you are using. If you buy an adhesive that is for daily wear the hold will only last for up to 1-10 days. If you want to wear the unit longer then you have to buy extended wear adhesives which can last for 3-6 weeks. You do not have to remove the unit until you decide to and/ or when your adhesive hold starts to slip. The unit does not require frequent washing. Full instructions on how to apply the unit and care and maintenance are included in each wig order. We sell both daily wear and extended wear adhesives in either liquid or tape and we sell various adhesive removers .

14/06/2007 11:13:02 - Will the hair feel bulky underneath the wig?
|
This depends on the amount of hair that you have underneath the wig cap. Unless you have severe hair loss it should be reassuring to know that you have your own hair underneath the cap. The bulk underneath is dependent on how you style your own hair i.e. braid, cornrows, slicked back etc. The ’bulk ’ of your hair is inconsequential, visually a lace front wig is undetectable and does not look ‘bulky’ and only you know that you are wearing a wig. If you leave insecurities behind and wear your lace front with confidence it remains your secret.

14/06/2007 11:12:38 - With Lace front wigs is it possible to wear the hair off the face, i.e. comb it back in a pony tail or half up and half down?
|
Yes, it is possible to wear the hair off the face, i.e. comb it back in a pony tail. It can be drawn back in a low pony tail, higher if you choose to have the thin skin or extended French /Swiss lace at the nape and apply adhesive to hold the wig to the nape. The hair can be pulled back away from the face or you can choose to wear the hair half up and half down.

14/06/2007 11:12:10 - Can I sleep in the wig?

14/06/2007 11:11:40 - Does the lace show on African American darker skin complexion?
|
French lace and Swiss lace is undetectable. Swiss lace is the most undetectable but is also the most fragile. Both lace materials have to be treated delicately and with care but does not require colouring to match any particular skin tone, they suit everyone especially if you are using transparent lace. However, as there are many different skin tones, what might suit a fair complexion, may not suit a darker skin tone, to combat this problem if it arises, simply cut all the extra lace back to the hairline.

14/06/2007 11:11:14 - The weather is very hot in our location, will my lace front stay on my head?
|
This wig is made and manufactured in Asia where temperatures can rise above 45 centigrade, 100 Fahrenheit! Our clients are all over the world in many extreme temperatures. With the right application your lace front wig will not be affected by the temperature and will remain in place. Lace front wigs are lighter than standard wigs and therefore not as hot as most people would imagine.

14/06/2007 11:10:38 - Can I swim in a lace front wig and do other sports activities?
|
Yes, if you have applied the adhesive/ tape as instructed by the manufacturer and us there is no reason why you cannot continue your normal everyday activities. Swim, run, Pilates, gym even swinging from the chandeliers is possible...if not unsafe.

14/06/2007 11:09:56 - Do I need a wig cap and how do I clean it?
|
If you wear a wig cap under your wig in order to contain your hair or attach your wig more securely, then you will want to keep it clean. Since the wig doesn¹t really touch your head and the cap does; you can keep things fresh by cleaning the wig cap with a drop of soap or shampoo and cold water. Just squish it around by hand and hang out to dry overnight.

14/06/2007 11:08:38 - Can I use hairspray on my wig?
|
With a gentle touch this wig will maintain its style for quite a while depending on your use and the style that you have. Try and avoid heavy lacquered based sprays as they will leave residue and weigh the wig down.

|
14/06/2007 11:07:50 - How do I clean the lace?
|
Clean lace is important to the look of the wig as stated above so keeping it tidy is essential. This is done with gauze pads and alcohol. Lay the wig on its back off the block, place the gauze pad behind the lace and taking another gauze pad dab gently at the lace changing the pad underneath the lace as it becomes soiled from the makeup residue. Always use gauze not cotton pads if possible as they will leave behind bits of fuzz.

14/06/2007 11:07:18 - Do I need to powder or put make-up over the lace when I wear it?
|
Not really, the delicate nature of the lace is what makes it invisible. The cleaner the lace; the more invisible it is. No one else will know this is a wig except you. However, many people are self conscientious and therefore a light powder foundation can be applied but is not necessary.

14/06/2007 11:06:39 - Should I pin the lace or the wig down on the block?
|
Not unless you are styling it and when you do this be careful to avoid the lace front and remember only use very small dressmaker pins so as not to damage the wig.

|
14/06/2007 11:05:55 - Should I cut the lace?
|
The shorter the lace the shorter the life span of the wig. With good application when applying the lace to your forehead the lace simply disappears creating an illusion of hair growing directly from the scalp. When you receive your wig and you find that the lace is too long, lets say touching your eyebrow, then of course we recommend trimming it slightly but cut on the curve as you do not want to disrupt the cross tension which ensures a proper fit.

14/06/2007 11:05:22 - How should I store my wig?

Always proceed gently when removing wigs. Using a adhesive remover, dab or spray at the area from the hair side of the lace front where the adhesive/ tape was placed. Wait for a minute for the adhesive/tape to soften. After a minute gently pull away from the skin slowly and carefully. Always clean your pieces before re-applying by placing on a paper towel and dabbing at the adhesive/tape to dissolve the glue. Never use anything but approved cleansers for this process.

14/06/2007 10:58:35 - What are the adhesive and tapes that I need to use on my wig?
|
There are various adhesives (glues) or tapes suitable of being used on human skin for securing your lace front wig on the market. The most popular brands are Mity tight, Ultra Hold, Safe Grip, Spirit Gum or various medical grade double sided tapes such as SuperTape. First, try on the wig without applying any form of adhesive. You are determining where your natural hairline should begin with your lace. Do not cut the lace until you have determined how much lace you want to be left. Remember the lace will not be so obvious when adhesive is applied. Clean the area where you want to tack down the lace (usually the temples) of oils and debris from the skin. Always use the liquid adhesive sparingly where you feel appropriate, either the temples, near the centre forehead or a thin line across the forehead. Full detail instructions on lace front wig application will be included in all orders.

14/06/2007 10:56:23 - How long will my wig last?
|
With proper care and maintenance one of our quality wigs can last for a month up to a year or more but this depends on frequency of use. If you are wearing a unit everyday, then general wear and tear will reduce the life span of the unit unless you buy more than one unit. The cost of the unit works out to be cheaper than a weave as you can re-use the wig. Clients with severe hairloss such as Alopecia who wear the same unit everyday have an average life span of 3-4 months for a wig before it may require repair or complete replacement. The life span of the wig will ultimately fall with the owner and their care and maintenance regime.

14/06/2007 10:51:28 - How do I know what length of wig I will receive?
|
Our units are measured from the nape and estimated from the crown to the longest tip of hair. We normally supply units with a longer length for them to be styled with your stylist but the unit you are purchasing can be estimated by viewing the crown to tip measurement details on the ‘product detail’ or ‘measurements‘ WebPages. Use a flat soft tape measure and measure from the top of your head (crown) to the length you have order, that is the length you should receive.
