hair knots for dark skin or black hair?

What are bleached
hair knots?
When dark hair
is tied to the hairpiece base it creates a knot. Where the knot
is tied a dark dot appears on the skin, especially when the base
is lace. Lace material does not hide knots as well as a monofilament
base does.
Bleaching the
knots, is usually only on lace front areas, but sometimes it
may be necessary to do it to the hold piece. This makes the knots
hard to see and it helps create the illusion that your hair is
growing from the scalp.

What types of
hair are recommended for creating a quality Hairpieces or Lace
Front Wigs?
European human
hair is the best quality hair for making a Hairpiece or Lace
Front Wig. Synthetic hair fiber is usually used for making cheap
Hairpieces or Lace Front Wigs.
One of the reason
why human hair is desired is because it can be bleached, recolored
and and it is more resistant to higher weather temperatures.
Asian Remy human
hair may also be used, however, it's not quite as high of quality
as European human hair. And it is more difficult to find it available
in colors that match Caucasian hair colors. Keep in mind that
Asian Indian Remy human hair is naturally dark at is origin and
must be bleach and dyed when lighter hair colors are desired.

Where does European
Human Hair come from?
Human hair is
grown mostly by ladies of various ages throughout Europe, Asia,
and African.
European hair
is more fine or narrow following the cuticle removal process.
Indian hair is oval, like European human hair and about the same
diameter once stripped of its cuticle layer.
Human hair is
harvested in various countries, where it is gathered using special
hair brushes, and then it is sold to harvesters. The hair harvesters
then remove the cuticle layer from the hair and then bundle it
according to length; and then it is carefully separated into
standard color groups.
Finally, it is
then sold to various distributor's around the world of which
it is then sold to wig maker manufacturer's, beauty shops, and
hair salon's.

Asian Indian remy human hair is inferior to European Human Hair.

All types of naturally grown human hair are basically equal.

human hair or synthetic hair?

and it reflects sunlight with a sheen very much like nylon fiber.

in my Hairpiece or Lace Front Wig?

the human hair beautiful and natural looking?

Hairpiece or Lace Front Wig without damaging the hair?
Avoid brushing
or combing the hair while wet. Brushing or combing wet hair can

that has stiff plastic bristles, widely spaced, each with a protective
ball on the bristle ends.
