Removing Adhesive Residue from the Hair in a System or Lace Front

Removing Adhesive Residue from the Hair in a System or Lace Front

Removing the adhesive residue from the hair of a hair system is incredibly important. The adhesive in the hair can create a lot of stress and degradation to the hair knots as well as to the integrity of the base material.

When cleaning a system or lace front always try to have the most refined natural solvent or removal available. The most common cleaners on the market are citrus based but have a yellow or orange appearance. Your best choice cost a bit more but is well worth it in the maintenance of your hair system. The base as well as the hairs are better protected with a refined remover such as Adhesio™ Adhesive Cleaner. You’ll know it’s the most refined by its crystal clear appearance.

Apply Adhesio™ Adhesive Cleaner to a cotton pad or swab, apply to the tape or adhesive area and allow to work. When the adhesive is loosened gently remove the system from your head. Apply additional Adhesio™ Adhesive Cleaner to the adhesive or tape and allow the cleaner to work. Gently remove the tape. With tape or adhesive you will notice that the residue is beginning to break down and coagulate. You can use a soft wash cloth or soft bristle brush to work the residue off the lace or base material and into the hair. Once the residue is in the hair it can easily be combed out of the hair with a fine tooth comb then washed as usual until all oil and adhesive residue have been removed from the hair. It may be necessary to wash the hair two or three times but it is important to get all adhesive and solvent residues from the hair, base material and tape tab areas. Once the hair is completely cleansed of any residue apply a gentle leave in conditioner to the hair and allow the hair to air dry. If you should find any area where there appears to be residue or oil it is advised to repeat the process again. It is advisable to concentrate on only those areas that need attention and avoid areas where the hair is clean. Rinse the entire system apply leave in conditioner and allow to air dry.

It may seem like a lot to do but it is wise to understand that the alternative is hair loss, scalp irritation and the breakdown of your systems base. Whenever residue is left in the hair it always settles in the knots and the base material. The combination of products and chemicals with body oils and acids will most definitely cause break down in your system and hair. A few simple tips to remember: Whenever possible dilute your shampoo and conditioner. Wash rinse and repeat—at least once or twice—this isn’t your head this is a textile and hair or fiber that are not a part of you other than their attached for a period of time to you head. Rinse, Rinse, Rinse and Rinse some more. The longer you rinse the more residue and body fluids you’ll remove and the cleaner your system. Finally, consider an additional system to rotate for the best possible hygiene.

Lace Wigs 101

Lace Wigs 101

Lace wigs and lace fronts are the hottest ticket out there. Lace wigs were originally only found in the theatre, the silver screen or on those who had the connections to have one made for them. Lace wigs and lace fronts have recently been seen on the streets since the popularity of some well seen celebrities who openly wear the wigs and lace front additions.

A lace wig is truly the ultimate for any wig wearer. They are different from wigs as we generally know them because they are usually made or at least “tailored” to fit the individual. A lace wig is made completely of a soft French or Swiss lace in several sections and the wig maker will take darts in the lace to make the material contour the head and because of this it is possible to get a glove tight fit for the wearer. During the process of tailoring the wig base the wig maker will take into effect the finished hair style to be sure that the lace is place so the hair can be ventilated / tied into the base going in the correct direction for the finished style.

This is especially important in the top and frontal area as this is where the hair must flow naturally and the way the lace is configured hair direction will be affected if the lace is not placed correctly. Once the wig maker has the cap completed they can do a final fitting to be sure the fit is correct and the front is smooth and tight. If adjustments need to be done this is the time to do it and a final fitting can be done just to check. Once the cap is finished the wig maker can now begin ventilating the hair into the base. This is done with a hooked ventilating needle that can be gauged to pick up as many hairs as needed for a section of the wig. For example in the back and side areas the wig maker may use a needle that picks up 2 to 4 hairs for the knot. This allows for volume without having to fill in quite so many holes in the lace. The wig maker will usually start at the nape area and work up on the back of the wig followed by the sides and then working on the top. Once the wig maker gets to the top and front area they will usually switch their ventilating needle to only pick up one hair for each knot. This allows the wig maker to make very small tight knots that are virtually impossible to be seen. The real art for the wig maker is of course the frontal area. The single hair knots, placement and hair direction has to look and move like natural hair and should not be noticeable to the eye. Once a lace wig is completed, dressed or styled and placed on the head a small amount of lace adhesive is placed on the skin where the edge of the lace will sit, allowed to get tacky and then the lace is pressed into the adhesive where it disappears into the skin. Once the adhesive is completely dry normal daily make up can be applied and the wearer is ready to go.

Lace Materials for Hair Pieces

Lace Materials for Hair Pieces

Lace materials for hair replacements and particularly fronts have become a hot ticket in the industry. It isn’t a surprise considering the appearance one gets from a lace is as close to reality as you can get.

There are several types of lace materials in the market and each has it’s own properties that make it special but there are some created names out there so it is wise to know what you really want.

Fine Welded Mono Lace: Probably one of the most popular due to it’s durability yet it still has a very nice finished look for the client who just wants a natural front in case the wind blows. Fine Welded Mono is an open weave nylon monofilament material that is literally welded using an ultrasonic welder at each point where two strands of the monofilament meet. This method makes the material very strong which helps with fraying along the edge. Fine Welded Mono Lace can be easily heat set and requires no tailoring or darting to maintain its shape and holds up very well. The down side to the material is that it is stiff and for some it can be uncomfortable or scratchy and it doesn’t have as fine an appearance for those wanting to wear their hair back exposing the hair line. However for anyone with NON sensitive skin or if you just want the immediate look to be natural but don’t have the front hair line completely exposed 100% of the time, this is a great way to go.

French Lace: Used for many years in the theatrical world, French Lace gives a very natural look for the front hair line as well as for the body of a hair piece. French Lace is soft to the touch and very flexible. The down side to French Lace is that it is a bit delicate and requires care when wearing a system with this material. It is usually advised that the front edge of a French Lace system be scalloped or Pinked with a pinking shear to help minimize and delay fraying. During the course of wear the front edge can be cut back as it frays up to the hair line with no problem. Bases made of this material are also more delicate so care should be given when brushing and combing the hair to avoid catching the material in the brush or comb causing the base to tear.

Swiss Lace or Swiss Net: This is really the ultimate lace material. It is very fine in appearance and when applied to the skin literally disappears. Swiss Net is more expensive than French Lace so it is often promoted but just as often substituted with French Lace. Unfortunately consumers who don’t really know the difference cannot tell if they have Real Swiss Lace or its less expensive counter part, but seeing the two materials together you will see the differences quite clearly. The main difference is its more transparent look and it is a bit finer, therefore more delicate than French Lace but the finished look is truly the ultimate for Lace Materials.

Information about diabetes, prevention and treatment

The Pancreas inability to produce insulin creates diabetes. Some of the most important foods that help to reduce blood sugar or stimulate insulin production in diabetics and discussed here. It is thought that this inability arises from an autoimmune condition.

Diabetes is characterized by a high level of sugar in the blood, as a result of defective insulin secretion, or insulin resistance. Although we tend to group all people with Diabetes together, the truth is that there are two different types of Diabetes that are similar in their elevated blood sugar, but different in many other ways. Type one diabetes is usually diagnosed in children, and young adults.

Basically the body is killing its own insulin producing cells. The symptoms of type one Diabetes are very obvious, frequent urination, increased thirst, and weight loss. The onset is usually abrupt, and severe. In addition, having type one Diabetes increases your risk for many serious complications, heart disease, blindness, nerve damage, and kidney damage. Treatment consists of intermediate or long-acting insulin , taken once or twice daily, with fast- or rapid-acting insulin injections taken at mealtimes. Type two Diabetes often develops rather insidiously, showing few or no symptoms.

The symptoms are similar to type one, however they develop gradually over time. This may explain why it often goes undetected at first. The cells of the body being resistant to insulin characterize the most common form of diabetes, type two. Some of the most important foods that help to reduce blood sugar or stimulate insulin production in diabetics and discussed here.

The Pancreas still produces insulin, however the body cannot use it efficiently. Type two usually develops in men or women over 40 years of age, characterized by obesity, and lack of physical activity. In particular, people who are an, apple shape, with lots of fat around the abdomen – are at greater risk of developing diabetes. Type two Diabetes runs in families, and is particularly common among people of African-Caribbean or Asian origin people. Beside from taking drugs, the person should also get into an exercise program and eat right. A dietitian can help make a good meal plan while the doctor can recommend the kind of workouts one will be able to engage in depending on the individual’s sex, age and weight.

Finally, having type two Diabetes increases your risk for many serious complications, as type one. Unlike type one, type two Diabetes can usually be controlled with diet, exercise or medicines. If you suspect you may have Diabetes, it is important to see your doctor, especially if you fall into any of the categories previously mentioned. Discovering youhaveDiabetes is frightening don’t panic, people with Diabetes can live long, healthy, happy lives. Eat right and exercise. It’s a simple prescription that will keep you healthy, whether you have diabetes or not. Diabetes is a growing problem. The person should exercise, eat healthy and take the right dosage of drugs to stop this from getting worse.

Worried about Type-2 Diabetes? Discover how you can easily help prevent or manage it!

If you have a risk for Type 2 Diabetes, OR if you already have it, then you simply cannot afford to leave this article without finding out how you can easily help prevent or manage it!
If you’ve noticed the news, Type 2 Diabetes is on the rise in the USA, and around the world, for both kids and adults. If you don’t have it, it’s not too late to take steps to prevent it. And if you already have it, there’s a new way to help manage it. Studies have proven the earlier you tackle any blood sugar problems, the better your chances are for success. It has also been made clear that losing excess weight can help ward off diabetes. If you could lose weight without being hungry, and if you could eat something that tasted however you wanted it to, would you do it?
Who wouldn’t answer ‘yes’ to that?
You don’t have to change your habits or start taking expensive pills. All you need are Chia Seeds. The Chia Seed, while not well known, is actually a Superfood. It was lost for centuries, ever since the ancient Aztecs used its super-nutrition for their armies. With the ability to keep people feeling full, and being 23% protein by weight, it isn’t any wonder they were able to conquer so many lands. Every tiny seed was a powerhouse of nutrition, vitamins and essential omega-3 oils.
How easy is it to use?
Chia Seeds are actually one of the easiest things you can possibly add to your diet. It’s as simple as sprinkling them onto anything you already like to eat or drink. Chia Seeds don’t have a flavor of their own. Instead, they distribute the flavors of food or drink that you add them to. This property lets them take on the taste of that food, or amplify the flavor of liquids. (Meaning when you cook with them, the food will actually taste better!)
For example, you could sprinkle them onto: breakfast cereal, yogurt, oatmeal, ice cream, juice, milk, pizza, salad dressing, pasta, sandwiches:.really, anything that’s moist enough to get the seeds to stick to the surface:and you stay full much longer, from eating much less food!
It seems far fetched, how can little seeds do all that and more?
Get ready for a double shot of weight-loss benefits:
First:

Chia Seeds help you feel full longer, and you can actually watch the process work! Diet pills may ask you to believe they work, but MySeeds Chia shows you. If you take 1 tablespoon-full of Chia and add it to 9 tablespoons of water, stir, and wait 15 minutes, you’ll see that each seed has formed a big bead of gel on the surface and the water is now thick like a gelatin. Notice how much larger this solid form is? This is what happens when you eat the seeds. The gel won’t come off the seed easily, and is made of pure water. This feels like food in the stomach, but replaces calories with water (which has 0 calories)
Second:

Chia is a fiber-rich seed. It has soluble and insoluble fiber. In fact, you can literally SEE the fiber of the Chia Seed in action, if you place it in liquid. (it will form a big bead of gel around the seed) Fiber-rich foods are processed more slowly by the body. This is a great benefit if you’re trying to lose weight without starving! When foods process more slowly, you feel ‘satisfied’ or ‘full’ much faster than normal. This makes it easy to eat less at mealtime.
By packing in fiber, the food you eat is less calorically dense. The fiber fills you up, and performs its important roles in the colon, but ISNT absorbed by the body to turn into extra calories and fat. Insoluble fiber is not digested. It is sometimes called ‘roughage’ and helps to clean the colon.
But what about glucose? Glucose and insulin levels are important for preventing type-2 diabetes. Starchy foods, sugary drinks, and other modern-day diet options that convert quickly into sugars in the body spike insulin levels. You can give your system a break with fiber. Viscous fiber (that which appears like a gelatin) slows down the conversion of carbohydrates into sugars and helps normalize blood glucose levels. That means it’s beneficial to mix Chia Seed in with food you already like to eat.
Blood sugar naturally rises and falls through out the day. It can also be what makes you drowsy in the afternoon. Dips and spikes aren’t good for consistent, healthy energy. The slowing of conversion of carbohydrates into sugar has the ability to create endurance. Carbohydrates are the fuel for energy in the body. Prolonging their conversion into sugar stabilizes metabolic changes, diminishing the surges of highs and lows creating a longer duration in their fueling effects. Protein fuels energy as well, and the protein in chia is complete. Once again, a double benefit for you.

With Chia Seeds you can deal a powerful 1-2 punch against Type-2 Diabetes risk-factors: excess weight and insulin spiking foods. Of course, there are many other benefits to Chia as well, such as healthy omega-3 oils, micro-nutrients, a full range of b-vitamins and more calcium by weight than milk. If you already have Type-2 Diabetes, it’s important to watch your blood-sugar closely and ask your doctor about adding Chia Seeds to your diet. If you don’t have this problem, it’s not too late to stop it from ever hitting you. If you have risk factors, or, if you’re just looking for a way to feel better every day, and improve your health, you need to take action right away. You need Chia Seeds!

Hair Replacement Systems: Dealing with Scalp Perspiration

Hair Replacement Systems: Dealing with Scalp Perspiration

The skin is the largest organ of the human body. It protects us against bacteria, keeps our insides inside and works as our personal air conditioner. All of our skin has sweat and oil glands and we perspire everywhere including our heads. For hair wearers scalp perspiration can be a big problem. A sweaty scalp can lead to a variety of different problems for those wearing hair replacement systems including general discomfort, skin irritation, and breakdown of base material and premature hair loss from the base of the hair replacement. Luckily, there are a few ways to help to minimize and deal with a sweaty scalp.

If you are wearing a polyurethane hair replacement system, scalp perspiration is a very common side effect and unfortunately there is very little you can do to limit the perspiration scalp since you are essentially putting plastic on top of your head. The majority of our body heat is released from the head so covering it with a plastic hair hat will definitely cause it to perspire, but even with a mesh or lace base one may experience a little more heat up on top just due to the fact that it’s being covered up. Here are a few tips that may help to decrease the amount of scalp perspiration you experience.

1. Before applying your hair system, be sure that your scalp is clean then apply an astringent with a cotton pad and allow the astringent to dry completely. The astringent will shrink the pores on the scalp to delay perspiration.

2. Avoid hot showers. This is good advice for your entire body. When you take a hot shower you heat up the body in general. When we get hot we sweat, even in the shower. If you have to take a hot shower try to rinse your body and head with cool water to decrease your body temperature. If you start out cool it will take that much longer for you to heat up.

3. Finally, you can apply a thin layer of antiperspirant to your scalp before attaching your system. It will retard perspiration on your head just like it does under your arms.

Depending on the type of base material you prefer, there may not necessarily be anything you can do to prevent scalp perspiration, but there are definitely solutions to control the problem, and of course if you experience any kind of severe problem or reaction as a result of scalp perspiration, the best remedy may be to change to a base style that is more suited towards your lifestyle. Looking great is always important but your good health should come first! If you aren’t sure what kind of base material is right for you, be sure to discuss all your options with your hair replacement company.

Remy Hair and your Hair Replacement: What are the facts?

Remy Hair and your Hair Replacement: What are the facts?

Remy Hair (also sometimes referred to as Remi hair) is one of the biggest buzz words in the hair industry today. You’ve probably seen all kinds of hair replacement companies big and small touting their Remy hair pieces. Some hair replacement vendors may have even talked you up about the benefits of Remy hair, but have you ever wondered exactly what it really is? While there are several definitions flying around there is only one that remains constant, is simply and probably the truth.

Remy hair is human hair that is used in the production of hair pieces, wigs, hair extensions and a variety of hair goods products besides these. The term Remy Hair is used on almost every hair goods product that is coming out of China, the biggest producer of hair goods in the world and rightfully so. Simply speaking Remy Hair is human hair that is ventilated, tied or sewn with the cuticle of the hair all going in the same direction. The cuticle is the outer layer of the hair shaft and it is naturally a rough almost scaly surface. In production of human hair for hair goods the cuticle is usually smoothed, coated or compressed to make it smooth so the scales cannot catch on each other causing the hair to tangle and mat. While this process works well the cuticle is still there and overtime it is possible for the cuticle to swell and open up making the hair venerable to tangling. To help to assure the least amount of tangling the producers of hair goods make all efforts to keep the hair cuticles going in the same direction to minimize the chances of tangling and matting allowing the hair wearer to maintain the hair system with little problems and keeping the hair looking natural with good movement.

So in a nutshell, Remy hair is actually quite common throughout the hair replacement industry. In most cases even when a hair replacement doesn’t advertise their hair as Remy, it probably is anyway. The thing to remember is there isn’t anything particularly special about Remy hair — it’s the industry standard. So be wary and stay away from companies who concentrate on touting the great benefits of Remy hair or who try to up sell you on expensive Remy products. The fact is, Remy hair is not expensive to produce, and generally reputable suppliers will always offer this product. If you’re searching for a new hair replacement company, don’t worry so much about finding a company that advertises their hair as Remy, instead concentrate on more important factors like overall quality and reputation of the vendor themselves. Don’t be fooled by the oldest tricks and buzzwords in the hair replacement playbook. Do your homework and spend the time to find a hair replacement supplier that will truly work for you!

Fiber Hair Replacement: The Next Generation in Hair?

Fiber Hair Replacement: The Next Generation in Hair?

For many years synthetic fibers were the mainstay of the hair replacement industry. In the 1980’s the trend started to shift to human hair for hair systems and the demand started. In the 1990’s we began to see a huge trend for human hair for hair extensions and as that demand grew into the 21st century the supply began to wane.

With the huge demand for more and more quality human hair there will come a time very soon that we will see the use of synthetic fibers for hair replacements and extensions. Fortunately there have been huge technological improvements in the development of synthetic fibers specifically for the hair replacement industry. The newest High Tech fibers being used have been in the developmental stages for over 10 years and are now being used quite widely in the men’s hair replacement and ladies wig production. The High Tech fibers are significantly different from their mod acrylic counterparts with features that make them very palatable for the consumer and stylist friendly. These new fibers are generally nylon or polyester based products. They are stronger than mod acrylic fibers and have a much higher heat retention meaning they can now be styled with thermal styling tools without the fear of melting or frizzing. The heat retention also affords the fiber to better maintain its curl pattern and in most cases the hair replacement systems made with these fibers can hold up for extended periods of time and maintain a fresh look. While the base of the hair system might break down and fall apart, the fiber/hair still looks brand new.

There is no doubt that with the increase in demand for human hair and the quickly dwindling supply the new High Tech fibers will become the only way to go. Thanks to the advances in science and technology, new hair products are always being developed and their quality and usefulness is growing rapidly. Just a few years ago, fiber hair replacement was just beginning to take shape, and in just a short time it’s quickly becoming a standard in the hair replacement industry. It’s also replacing old synthetic hair that was very commonly used in hair replacement systems for many years. Older synthetic hair looks and feels much less “human” than newer advanced fibers. It can often be bristly and scratchy in texture and some hair wearers find it quite uncomfortable. There’s a very strong likely hood that newer synthetic fiber hair will supplant human hair as the “go-to” option for hair replacement in the coming years due to its amazingly human quality and extreme durability. A move to fiber hair in hair pieces could ultimately lead to longer lasting and more natural looking hair replacement solutions and quite possibly lower the overall hair replacement costs consumers are faced with.

Clip On Hair Replacement: Are Clips Better Than Adhesives?

Clip On Hair Replacement: Are Clips Better Than Adhesives?

There is no doubt that the debate about Clip on hair replacement systems and Adhesives has been ongoing for some time. The reality is that there are positives and negatives to both but whether one is better than another is totally based on personal choice. Many hair replacement wearers prefer the ease of use and fairly low amount of cleanup and maintenance that comes with wearing hair clips. On the other hand, tape and adhesives have a variety of benefits that make them a very popular choice amongst all hair wearers. Read on for more differences between clip on hair replacement systems and adhesives for hair replacement systems.

Initially both Clips and Adhesives have been used and often a combination of both. The positive sides to clips are: ease of application, no mess, ease of removal and increased longevity of the system itself and the freedom to wear hair whenever it is desired. With adhesives you have perimeter attachment with no gaps, a sense of security perhaps and smoother transition from the hair system to growing hair. Both methods also have their down sides as well. Clips, if not moved occasionally on the base of the system can cause traction alopecia and also hair loss due to the tension of the clip in the same location. The hair loss is most often irreversible. This is one thing that is sure to deter many hair wearers from using clips, and a main reason why adhesive bonding has become such a popular solution for hair piece attachment. Adhesives can create dermatological problems for the wearer including open sores, rashes and extreme itching and irritation. It may take several tries with different adhesives to find the one that’s right for you. The good news about hair piece tape and adhesives is that there is such a diverse selection of products available, you’re sure to find something that will suit your own situation well as long as you take the time to look. Clips, on the other hand, are pretty straightforward. All you really need to do is determine the size of the clips that you need, and the color. Generally clips come in metallic, black, brown and blonde colors.

The bottom line, it is a personal choice made by each hair wearer but rest assured both are viable and reliable methods of attachment of a hair system. If you’re still not sure which kind of attachment method is best for you, contact your hair replacement company and discuss your options with them. If you’re still unsure, get a second opinion. There are many hair replacement companies that will be happy to take your calls and emails and answer any questions you may have regarding your hair replacement situation
