Professional Full Lace Human Hair Wig

With the Summer heat approaching, many will be looking for cooler, protective styling options.  This particular full lace human hair wig is made from delicate lace and is special ordered from a professional distributor. The lace is breathable and soft.  You can part it anywhere that you would like.

I have seen some online human hair full lace wigs starting at $300.  This unit retails for $1500, but it is designed to last a whole year.  My client that elected to make this investment is very happy.

It comes with 18 inch hair on it. When wet, it has a wet and wavy look to it.  My client is wearing it long for now.  We will gradually cut it shorter every 3 months or so because long hair can be more prone to tangle. We sew the back down onto her cornrows.  We use adhesives to keep the front in tact.  Updos are easy with this unit.  Roller sets give it volume.  The lace is so soft that there is no need to wear an extra nylon cap which really makes this unit very cool and breathable and safe on your own hair.

This full lace wig is from the Rio Collection.  The style is called the Alexi, Yaki Perm Straight.  I have swatches for the color options.  This unit can only be ordered by professional hairstylists.

Lace Front Construction and Wig Partition Pattern

Many people have questions about lace fronts. Pictured is the inside of an inexpensive ($40 US Dollars) lace front "synthetic" wig that has been worn for about a month and is time to be disposed of. You can see remnants of tape and adhesive/glue for those who have enough forehead and may be lacking enough hair to support the side comb attachments. Notice it looks like a regular wig for 75% of its construction. Just the front hairline fits flatter and more snug.

If you do have plenty of hair, then pictured is a great way to part and plait your hair to support the two side combs within the lace front wigs. Also, the middle cornrow gives the wig a little natural lift with a natural hump in the crown area. Careful, the inexpensive lace can cause traction around the hairline. Keep the hairline moisturized daily if you are removing the wig each night. If wearing the lacefront wigs for glamour, then take them off during your down time. Those with hair loss will generally have the wigs glued and taped on for removal once a month or bi-weekly.

Wig Review: "It's a Wig" brand

"It's A Wig" brand is one of my favorite brands for over the counter purchase. It is definitely the brand that I ask for first! Pictured is me in their synthetic lace front wig. Style: B. Morning. The top picture shows full length. I cut off some of the length in the bottom two pictures.

If you have been following this blog, then you know that I just published a protective styling article. So I did weigh my wig as part of my quest to protect my own hair from the wig being too heavy.

I tucked all the hair in the cap inside out and weighed it on my food scale that I keep in the salon to weigh hair. It weighed over five ounces! I immediately started thinning it out until I got it to just under five ounces.

This wig does have the monofilament in the top! I loved it! The cost was about $40 US Dollars. I did not try on the wig in the store because most wigs with a monofilament give a very natural look. Plus I trust this brand. The lace front is a hard, inexpensive lace-like fiber. Carefully, not to rough up your own hair while wearing.

Katy Perry in Pink Hair

This picture is from the cover of Instyle magazine October 2011 edition. Katy Perry has been in the news recently because she and Russell Brand reportedly are having marital challenges. Wishing them the best!

So what about that gorgeous pink hair???? Judging from the pictures and what I know about hair, I believe that Katy is wearing a high-end lace wig. For the hair to be that full, thick, and strong looking, I think that Katy's real hair is stuffed under a wig. The pink hair is still simply gorgeous on her!
