"What makes Men's Hairpieces & Women's LaceFront Wigs detectable looking?"

There are three basic reasons why hair replacement systems, lace front wigs or hair extensions are obviously detectable appearing. These three reasons are commonly related to hair density, hair direction, and hair color mismatch. Being aware of these three basis fabrication facets, BEFORE YOU BEGIN CREATING YOUR HAIRPIECE OR WIG, will greatly improve the results on your finished piece.

HAIR DENSITY

When a manufacturer creates a hairpiece or wig... as a rule, they generally create the piece with excess hair that does not match the comsumer's hair density and hair style, until the piece has been cut and styled. The reason why they do this is to insure that the barber or hair stylist will have enough hair for cutting and styling to the customer's hairstyle.

As a result of thinning out the hair on a hairpiece or wig to match the customer's hair density, most hairpieces or wigs are destroyed. Why? The only way available to thin out the hair on a new hairpiece is by using a thinning scissors. Although this process is quite effective - it is also very destructive and can leave area's that are void of hair throughout a hairpiece or wig. The end result usually leaves excessively uneven, spotty patches without hair and short uncontrollable hair stubs protruding up all over the hairpiece or wig.

Unfortunately, no thinning scissors that can properly thin out hair on a hairpiece or wig without causing these problems.

The only way to avoid these problems with a new hairpiece or wig is to control the hair density while creating the hairpiece or wig!


Natural Looking Hair Density

That's how they make hairpieces and wigs in Hollywood for the movie stars!

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!
