Creating your
own... undetectable
hairpiece or wig is easy when you use a little common sense.
The trick is to control the hair density while you are creating
the hairpiece or wig. This should be considered before to creating
your piece and not after it has already been created.
Hair density
is easily controlled simply by spacing each hair according while
ventilating the hair to the hairpiece or wig foundation. Controlling
the number of hairs being tied to the foundation is very important.
Keep in mind each hair tied to the foundation equals 2-hairs
per knot. Two (2) hairs will result in 4-hairs, 3-hairs equals
6-hairs, and so on. It is recommended to tie just 1-hair at a
time to the part and front hairline areas so the hair density
looks natural. However, 2 or 3-hairs per knot may be tied to
the remainder of the hairpiece or wig foundation complete ventilation
of hair to your hairpiece.
How hair is tied...
is also very important considering future maintenance on a hairpiece
or wig. It is common for hair to break from combing or wearing
your hairpiece or wig while sleeping. Using a lock-knot does
not allow hair to release from the foundation when a hair is
broken or pulled loose from a hairpiece or wig. Using a basic-knot
does allow hair to release completely from the foundation and
new hair can easily be ventilated to the foundation to replenish
hair loss.
HAIR DIRECTION
Controlling
hair direction... is as equally important as managing the hair
density while creating a natural looking hairpiece or wig with
your desired hair style. This is also very easily done by simply
drawing an outline of your desired hairpiece or wig on to the
hair piece foundation - before hair is ventilated to the foundation
surface. Click here to see an example of how a hair style hair
pattern may be outlined on to a hairpiece or wig foundation.
(The arrows in this illustration indicate which direction hair
is to be tied while ventilating.)
This process
is easily done... you simply place the hairpiece or wig foundation
over the bald area on your head and draw an outline of the hairpiece
(or lace front wig hairline) you wish to create. The outline
should include the part and whorl areas. Drawing the arrows is
optional, however, using a lead pencil is recommended. This will
allow the outline to be removed by simply washing and styling
the hairpiece or wig after it is created.
HAIR COLOR MISMATCH
Using a color-matched
hair... to create a hairpiece or wig is as important as controlling
the hair density and direction - if you wish to create an undetectable
hairpiece or wig. When the hair on your hairpiece or wig does
not match with you own hair color -- it becomes obvious that
you are wearing a piece. This problem is easily resolved by simply
ordering and using a color-matched hair supply that will match
you own hair to create your desired piece.
Ordering color-matched
hair is easily done by simply providing a sample of your own
hair, attached to the completed order form, when ordering your
hair supply for creating your hairpiece or wig.
Choosing the
right hair... for creating your hairpiece or wig is also very
important. You have two choices: 1. You can use synthetic to
create your hairpiece or wig. 2. You can use human hair to create
your hairpiece or wig.
Synthetic hair
is the least expensive and it is available in any color and length
desired.
Human hair on the other hand is more expensive and it's not available
in every color (excluding white and gray) and desired length.
Synthetic white or gray hair is commonly used for color-matching
hair supplies that include these colors.
Ordering a hair
supply to match dyed human hair... can be a problem. The reason
for this is because the dyed hair sample that is provided to
the vendor will not match your own dyed hair when you have finished
creating your hairpiece or wig. While creating your hairpiece
or wig it is common that you wash your own hair on a regular
basis. Each time your hair is washed it fades a little in color
of which will result in a color mismatch between your own dyed
hair the dyed hair on your new hairpiece or wig.
Dying hair on
a synthetic hairpiece or wig is not recommended! The main reason
for this is because synthetic hair is non absorbent plastic that
does not retain regular hair dyes.
Dying hair on
a human hair hairpiece or wig is possible, however, certain conditions
must be considered! When dying the hair on a human hair hairpiece
or wig to match your own hair it is recommended to dye your own
hair simultaneously. This will allow both the hair on your hairpiece
or wig to fade in contrast with your own hair.
Using a quality
hair care shampoo and conditioner will add to the length of time
that both synthetic hair and human hair stays natural looking.
Hair shampoos, hair conditioners, hair spray, and hair styling
gels are all recommended for maintaining the vitality of both
synthetic and human hair. However, keep in mind that shampoo
causes dyed hair to fade slightly each time it is washed!
