Synthetic Wig Care - Professional Secrets By Tanya Turner

Synthetic wigs are very easy to care for. You don’t need to restyle your wig after each washing, like you would with a human-hair wig. However, it is important to point out that human-hair shampoos and other care products are unsuitable for synthetic wigs. Even the mildest shampoo that you might use on your own hair is too strong for the synthetic fibers used in a wig. The same can be said about hair styling mousses, sprays and gels - don’t attempt to use them on your synthetic wig. Instead, use shampoos, conditioners and hairsprays specially formulated for synthetic wigs. Raquel Welch, Revlon, and Tress Allure produce wide ranges of wig care products, and all of these brands work well with any synthetic wig. Most websites that sell wigs offer wig accessories, too, so it is smart to pick a wig shampoo, conditioner and spray when you order your wig. Another thing to remember is that synthetic wigs cannot be styled with curling irons, hot rollers or blow dryers. In fact, any heat can destroy your wig, so be careful to keep it away from lamps, ovens, etc. Most synthetic wigs are already prestyled but, if you want to add a bit of personality to it, you can use a mousse that is specially formulated for synthetic wigs and style it with your fingers. Washing synthetic wigs - step by step A synthetic wig doesn’t need to be washed very often - after 10 or 12 wears is usually enough. Still, you might have to wash your wig more often if you use a lot of spray or mousse on it. Every washing shortens the life of your wig, so our advice is try not to use excessive styling products on it, and don’t wash your wig until it looks like it needs to be washed. 1. Remove tangles with your fingers and gently brush your wig. The only exception is wigs that are very curly - don’t attempt to brush them 2. Fill a basin with cool water (hot water can damage your wig), mix a little bit of synthetic wig shampoo into it and place your wig in the water. Leave it to soak for about 5 minutes. 3. Swirl your wig around in the water, but don’t rub the fibers 4. Rinse your wig under running water 5. Shake excess water off your wig and spread it on a towel to dry. Alternatively, you can put it on a wig stand. If you have wig conditioner, put it on the wig and gently work it through the strands with your fingers. Remember you can’t use blow dryer on a synthetic wig, so place your wig in a warm room with good ventilation and let it dry naturally 6. Brush your wig when it is completely dry and it is ready to wear again. Again, don’t brush wigs that are very curly. As you can see, caring for a synthetic wig is really easy. And having a wig or several differently styled wigs can really help you to change your look in an instant.

The Truth About Synthetic, Human, and Virgin Hair By Michelle LaRae

The hair product industry is bursting at the seams with different types of hair manufacturers, distributors, and the like, and with the growth within the industry consumers still have questions regarding the hair they actually purchase and wear. In addition, the popularity of lace wigs has brought a lot of these questions to the forefront. This article will optimistically shed some light on the issue regarding the various types of hair available in the market today. Types of hair- There are three types of hair, synthetic, processed human hair (remi/remy) or unprocessed human hair (virgin). Synthetic Hair- In general, synthetic wigs may be the best choice if you have a limited budget, have little time or capacity to provide homecare and maintenance or if your hair loss is a temporary condition. The reason that synthetic hair is prevalent is due to the fact that it is easy to care for, reasonably priced, has a permanent color, easy to style, and highly available. Most synthetic wigs today are made with Kanekalon fiber that holds its shape and color. It is extremely heat sensitive and should not be exposed to hair dryers, curling irons, straightening irons or hot curlers. Human Hair- The major benefit of human hair is that the hair can be colored and permed and it is just like wearing your own natural hair. Also, you can use a curling iron or electric rollers to curl the hair. Heat is not an issue with human hair as it is with synthetic. Human hair is generally more expensive and also lasts longer than synthetic. Remi Hair- Remi Hair is human hair and can be categorized in the 'premium' segment, as far as hair quality is concerned. Remi hair is bundled in such a manner that the roots of the hair are on one side and the tip of the hair on the opposite side. Since all the hairs are placed in the same direction, the hairs remain undisturbed, making them more durable and long lasting. Remi hair is virgin hair processed to the desired color and texture. There are many different types of Remi hair which all depends on the donor of the hair and their origin. Virgin Hair- Virgin hair is considered "top of the line" hair and is very expensive. The term virgin hair refers to human hair that is still in its original state as harvested from the grower, and which has not been permed, colored, or chemically processed in any way. It is carefully cut from the grower with the cuticle going in the same direction and preserved to maximize its special quality. Harvesting the hair in this manner takes more time, which also contributes to the expensive price of this hair. Virgin hair can be of any ethnic origin.

What are Monofilament Wigs? By Tanya Turner

Most wigs on the market are machine-made and have fabric caps. In contrast, a monofilament wig cap is made from a special material which is very thin, mostly transparent and pleasing to the touch. In a monofilament wig, each hair strand is hand knotted to the cap, which lets it turn more freely. Usually monofilament wigs are made from real human hair. A monofilament cap takes time to make, so there is no point in making top quality wigs from synthetic materials. Besides, synthetic fibers are not as durable as natural human hair. Most modern wigs marked “monofilament wig” are actually only partially monofilament. Usually the most important part of the wig, the top, is monofilament, while the back has a more traditional construction. This reduces the cost of the wig and makes it easy to adjust with tape tabs. These ensure that your wig fits snugly on your head and will not slide. Advantages of monofilament wigs -Best for people with very little or no hair -Most natural looking, because your own scalp can be seen through monofilament material -A monofilament cap is soft and perfect for people with sensitive skin -Because the strands are knotted one by one, the wig “breathes” and provides good ventilation
