If you feel uncomfortable with a vendor, go with your first mind. You normally can never go wrong. If you've ever been to a trade show or intend on going to one-it's a great idea if it's free. Don't go to any show that obligates you to buy a unit from them,
When I ordered my first wig, I was soo impatient. It was a stock unit and I did not take time with it . I still have the unit, but I made mistakes due to me wanting it soo bad and wanting to put it on right away without the time or proper tools need it. Relax-your beautiful without it anyways…:)
You have already taken the first step here by purchasing this information. Read up on different techniques, vendors, and decide if lace wigs are for you. It's a process of trial and error. If you like things to be perfect right away, then maybe this isn't for you. That is unless you have a professional apply it for you EVERY TIME. That can get quite expensive!
These normally turn out to be the units that you fall in love with because they are made to your specifications. Stock wigs are good also, but make sure you do good measurements. You don't want to get a wig that covers half of your lovely head!
Most lace front units can last from 6-months to more than a yr with everyday wear if you provide it with love and care. You go the salon and pay for your hairdo, you wrap it up and try to maintain the hair, don't you? Do the same with your wig!
What is your own personal style? Do you like curls, thick hair, straight hair? Chinese remy is really good for straight styles but do not hold curls well. Indian hair hold beautiful curls but does not hold straight styles well. Keep this in mind when ordering and choosing your density. Light density with a gradual fade to Medium is the most popular/natural. I happen to like thick full, "Diva" hair, so I choose Medium to heavy in regards to density. Light to light is a NO NO…..unless your going for that thin hair look. NOT! LOL.
Swiss lace cap is more realistic and it is thinner. Swiss is good for realistic parts also. French is more durable. I have found that Swiss lace is not at all that fragile. I have Swiss and I tug and pull on my wig all the time. A lot of sites, recommend French for beginners, I was a beginner with Swiss and I did just fine. Especially with my heavy hands!
8. To Bleach or not to bleach??
BLEACH!! PLEASE! This is important if you want the hair to look as realistic as possible. The knots on the wig should always be bleached.
