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 feel

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!
