Hair Cuticle Inc. site syndication http://www.cuticlehair.ca Sun, 20 May 2012 05:39:50 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.cuticlehair.ca/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=73&Itemid=65 Today I would like to talk about the workmanship that goes into the construction of a Human Hair wig. First grade Human Hair wigs are the highest quality wigs you can buy, and the most expensive. However the difference in quality is one you can really see and feel. More and more customers are making the investment in a first grade Human Hair wig that will keep looking great after a cheaper synthetic wig has tapped out. First grade Human Hair is just what it sounds like: real human hair. It takes six to ten ponytails to make a full wig. First grade Human Hair wigs still have the cuticle layer which is the outermost part of the hair strand. The cuticle layer of the hair is all flowing in the same direction, the way it would naturally. This keeps the hair from tangling and reflects light, making the hair natural looking and shiny. A high quality wig will have a monofilament cap made of lace or gauze that is almost transparent. Hair is attached by hand-tying one strand at a...

Wigs are available in many sizes and sometimes customers purchase the wrong size of wig and this can cause headaches if the wig is too small or cause the style to look wiggy if the wig is too large. Most people wearing wigs are not aware of the different wig sizes or do not care to know, all they are interested in is that the person selling the wig do a proper fitting. I would like to mention the different wig sizes. PPP means (Ultra Petite) = 20 1/2 PP means (Petite Petite) = 20 3/4...

I was shocked to find out the lady paid over $2000 for a human hair wig that, first of all, was only partly mono and the entire wig was machine sewn. This made me very upset since our industry needs to be regulated. Frankly speaking the woman was ripped off. The only thing about the wig that was good was the hair (the hair was indeed a remy hair let me be fair to the shop) but the construction was awful. For this price please, customers, make sure you get what you pay for. Please do your homework before purchasing a wig, never never let any wig shops pressure you into believing you must order your wig ASAP. Do your research! Cancer patients and medical clients, do not let any wig shop tell you to make a spur of the moment decision, take your time to make this important purchase. Too often women rush into making decisions because it is their hair, but please take your time...

The first step is to get a well fitted and high quality wig. Then, in my opinion, the patient should remove their hair, either shaving it bald or cutting it short, before their first treatment. Having your hair fall out can be very traumatizing and cause people to panic. If your hair is cut very short, or already shaved, you will spare yourself this ordeal. Avoiding the stress of your hair falling out, and having a wig that looks and feels just like your natural hair, will go a long way towards keeping you feeling positive and strong.
