First, let me tell
you the method I developed for creating a natural looking Hairpiece
or Lace Front Wig:
STEP 1. Foundation
and Hair
Because the essence
of a Hairpiece or Lace Front Wig is the foundation (Hairpiece or
Lace Front Wig base) and hair, I decided the foundation must light
weight, thin, tightly textured, one piece with no seams, strong,
durable, and a flesh tone colored material so it blends naturally
with a persons own skin. And equally important, it must be porous
enough to allow perspiration to evaporate freely. To make it fit
the contour of my head required making a wooden mold resembling
the shape of a full size human head and then reshaping flat material
to be contoured using steam.
This was accomplished
using a nylon mono-filament material and I call them MHRW Ready
made Preshaped Hairpiece Foundations.
As for the hair,
I decided to use the best hair possible of which back then was Italian
hair, to create a quality Hairpiece that would last longer than
Hairpieces or Lace Front Wigs made with synthetic hair or Asian
hair. After all, it takes the same amount of time to create a Hairpiece
or Lace Front Wig regardless of the hair being used to create it.
STEP
2. Ventilating Hair to the Foundation
The hardest part
of creating your own Hairpiece or Lace Front Wig would be learning
how to ventilate hair. This is done using a tool called the Ventilator
Tool. It is designed to hold a knitting needle that ties 1 to 3
hairs to the foundation as desired. Learning this process is easily
done by simply watching the MHRW Training Video. To create your
desired Hairpiece or Lace Front Wig first you must place the foundation
over the bald area of your head and then draw an outline (including
a part if desired) of your desired Hairpiece or Lace Front Wig.
It does not matter your degree of baldness because the MHRW Foundations
are large and will easily cover your entire head.
Next, the outlined
foundation is secured to a MHRW Head Block for ventilating hair
within the outlined area.
STEP 3. Creating
the Tape-Tab System
Next, you must seal
the edge of the foundation so it will not fray and to provide an
area I call the Tape-Tab System for securing your Hairpiece or Lace
Front Wig for wearing. This is easily done using my MHRW EasyTAB
Compound. You simply brush it along the underside edge of the foundation
and allow it to dry. This compound dries clear in color to allow
your own skin color to photograph right through the foundation.
It actually creates the illusion of hair growing from your scalp
rather than from the foundation.
"You must see
this to believe it!!"
Securing your Hairpiece
or Lace Front Wig may be easily done using transparent adhesive
tape or clips or with the new extended wear surgical liquid glue
method. In some cases both tape and clips or tape and adhesive are
used for securing a Hairpiece or Lace Front Wig.
Cutting In the
Completed Hairpiece
Naturally, cutting
in the Hairpiece or Lace Front Wig that is created is not part of
creating a Hairpiece or Lace Front Wig, however, it is required
to make the Hairpiece or Lace Front Wig blend naturally with your
own hair.
You must do a good
job of cutting in a newly created Hairpiece or Lace Front Wig; so
choose one of the following options to insure your success:
1. You can do it
yourself using a Flowbee� Hair Cutting System. 2. You can have
your barber or hair stylist cut-in your Hairpiece or Lace Front
Wig for you.
Now let me tell you
the process I use for creating a Hairpiece or Lace Front Wig:
Step 1./ The foundation
is placed over the bald area of your head and your desired Hairpiece
or Lace Front Wig pattern is drawn on to its surface. (This would
include the outline showing exactly where the part is desired on
the finished piece.)
Step 2./ Next, the
outlined foundation is secured to a head block and hair is ventilated
within the outlined area. (Creating a Hairpiece in this manor allows
you to control the hair density while hair is being ventilated to
the foundation. Controlling the direction hair is being ventilated
to the foundation also allows you to create your desired hairstyle.)
Step 3./ When finished
ventilating - - the Hairpiece is removed from the head block and
a liquid tape-tab compound is brushed along the entire underside
edge of the Hairpiece. (After the compound dries the excess foundation
material is cut away to reveal your completed Hairpiece.)
My 3 Step Process
for creating a Hairpiece or Lace Front Wig in this manor allows
you to control the hair density while hair is being ventilated to
the foundation. Controlling the direction of the hair being ventilated
to the foundation also allows you to create any desired hairstyle.
Please keep in
mind that
I created this concept for creating my own Hairpieces, however,
the same 3 Step Process may easily be used to create women's Lace
Front Wigs too.
Now let me tell you
about my MHRW Hairpiece Kit:
My 3 Step Lace
Front Wig making process is provided on a VHS Training Video
The MHRW Hairpiece Kit provides you with the Hairpiece Training
Video and Manual, all tools, and supplies, and accessories needed
for creating and maintaining custom Hairpieces and Lace Front Wigs.
You also have the option of choosing a Kit with Synthetic, Asian,
and Italian hair for creating your desired Hairpiece or Lace Front
Wig. As an added incentive, I offer ongoing Online or Telephone
support to all of my customers worldwide.
Another important
point that must be considered with creating and maintaining your
own Hairpieces or Lace Front Wigs is the time required to create
them. I personally can create a full size Hairpiece within 20 to
30 hours (while watching TV). One lady customer of mine told me
that she created a Hairpiece for her son in around 11 hours. The
time it will take you to create your own Hairpiece will depend upon
your own personal skills and the speed at which you are able to
work.
When you compare
how long it takes to create your own Hairpiece or Lace Front Wig
to the standard 6 to 8 weeks delivery time required for having a
retail Hairpiece or Lace Front Wig created and delivered to you
-- you can easily see that creating your own Hairpiece or Lace Front
Wig would be much faster than waiting 6 to 8 weeks for delivery
of a retail Hairpiece or Lace Front Wig.
The last and maybe
the most important point to consider is the cost of creating additional
Hairpieces or Lace Front Wigs after the initial cost of the MHRW
Hairpiece Kit. Creating a custom Hairpiece or Lace Front Wig requires
that you purchase at least one ounce of hair and a foundation. Synthetic
hair 10" long costs just $28 an ounce, Asian hair $86 an ounce,
and Italian hair cost $136 an ounce. A Hairpiece or Lace Front Wig
foundation cost just $20 each.
As you can clearly
see, the materials needed for creating a custom Hairpiece or Lace
Front Wig cost from $47 to $156 per Hairpiece or Lace Front Wig
compared to the cost of a retail Hairpiece or Lace Front Wig ranging
in price from $400 to $4000 each.
I sincerely hope
that this information helps you with your decision regarding the
solution to your hair loss problem. However, should you need
to discuss your situation with me personally, by telephone, please

Thank you for taking
the time to read how I got involved with creating my own Hairpieces
and for considering purchasing one of my Wig Making Training Kits!
