What is a Lace Front Wig


 

What is a Lace-Front Wig? 

My apologies to the professionals in advance,

I get this question all the time and finally decided to write a real article on it, Enjoy!

A lace front wig is only news to those outside of the entertainment industry. They’ve been used in movies and television for years. Movie stylists value the lace-front wig because it’s virtually invisible on camera. Recently, celebs such as John Travolta and Beyonnce Knowles have been photographed wearing them.  

A lace front wig has fine lace at the hairline of the wig, to make the perfect hairline. What makes the lace wig unique is that it has an entire cap made of nearly invisible lace. The cap is made of either a French lace or a Swiss lace; the lace is so fine that is has a texture similar to hosiery. Each full lace wig has a veil of lace that hides the perimeter of the wig so that you can wear your hair in an updo or a ponytail. On a full lace, the entire cap is made of lace; French lace is used for the back of the cap and a super-fine Swiss lace is used for the front and perimeter of the wig.   

The wigs are very costly because they require an average 50 hours of work by a master wig maker to complete. Most quality pieces are made by hand. The master wig maker ties each hair individually into the wig to minimize their appearance. Handmade wigs have a smoother surface than machine made wigs and the hair flows like natural Read more

Mirelielle Liong’s Photos are Going Natural in NY

http://going-natural.com

http://going-natural.com

Got a chance to do a preview of Mirelielle’s photo exhibit of natural hair.  I sometimes surf the web just looking to get ideas for new styles.  People of the diaspora are so creative, that it sometimes amazes and inspires me to get more creative.  

Press release – New York, October 2008

This photo exhibit is a must see for every one who ever thought Black people had “bad” hair. It pictures a hardly exposed world in which natural African hair is prevalent rather than an exception to reveal the new meaning of “bad” hair.

Struck by the beauty and the versatility of natural styles at the annual BAM Fair in Brooklyn, Mireille Liong realized that this was the first time in her adult life that she entered a community where African hair was so dominant that it seemed normal. She started to take photos to reveal this amazing world to those who are unfamiliar with it, in order to expand it. The result is an unprecedented collection of over a 1000 photos that picture bad hair at its best in the Pursuit of Nappiness.

A compilation of these images will be on display at the Casa Frela Gallery in Manhattan New York from November 1st to November 30th. It’s the photographer’s hope that exposure to the collection leads to more natural choices as well as a broader acceptance of afro-centric hair in a society where straight hair isthe norm.

The openings reception on November 1st will be followed by special events scheduled on Sundays. Besides the screening of the award-winning documentary My Nappy Roots, there will also be a hairstyling and head wrap demonstration. The Pursuit of Nappiness will stylishly come to a close with a natural hair show on the last Sunday. 

Mireille Liong is author of the book Going Natural, How to Fall in Love with Nappy hair that tops Amazon’s list of Natural Hair Care books. You can take a peak at her work at her website http://going-natural.com.

Wendy Williams

Ummmmm……….Well……….I am at a loss for words I think she must have 10 packs of the 20 inch Yaki!  Wendy Williams has to go through a lot of hair in the course of a week because every time we see this media maven, she has a new ‘do. Now I didn’t say the ‘do was nice but no matter what it looks like you know that there will be too much hair on her head.  I am trying to figure out what she is trying to hide with all of that hair?  I mean enough is enough.  I think that 8 ounces or 2 packs of human hair is more then enough for the average person.  But as the self-proclaimed Queen of All Media   I guess she is not the “average person”  Wendy William does it big — from her furs to her dripping jewels to that monstrosity that sits atop her dome — her hair. Ladies please don’t make the same mistake

Neem Oil for healthy hair and Eczema

If you are looking for a simple treatment for itchy scalps and thinning hair, try Neem oil could be the answer for you. Apply a few drops of this oil to your scalp and hair mid week or as a hot oil treatment before washing.

This treatment will stimulate scalp circulation to calm dry, itchy scalp conditions, help discourage hair loss and encourage strong, healthy new growth. Neem oil can also help with thinning hair and premature graying.

Neem oil and eczema…

You will often find neem oil touted as an effective herbal remedy for eczema.

Now, neem oil sure is effective, but it’s not a cure for eczema.

There is, however, no doubt that neem is the best natural remedy for eczema symptoms available today.

Shampoo could be bad for your health…

What’s so bad about shampoo anyway?
Shampoo is a detergent, just like laundry detergent, dishwashing powder and the stuff you use to clean your bathroom. It cleans out the dirt in your hair, but is very harsh and also takes the natural oils that make your hair shiny, soft and strong. Shampoo wasn’t introduced until the early 20th century, before that many people used soap. Soap can wash your hair without removing as much of the natural oils that shampoo does. Unfortunately, it doesn’t stand very well in alkaline water. When mineral levels in water began to rise, that made soap a messy, poor item to wash with. It causes ’soap scum’ rings around your tub and on your shower doors. Alkali (hard water) makes the scales on your hair stand up, feel rough and get tangled. When washing with water with a higher alkaline content and soap, the “soap scum” gets all tangled up in your hair, is much harder to wash out, and creates a big mess. Shampoo came out on the market just in time, displaying it’s only real benefit: it behaves similarly both in hard and soft water. Therefore it was a “Superior” product to an old favorite, soap. But it didn’t come without problems. Because shampoo is harsh Read more

I am very happy about the Brandy Pro 10 hair but I am always curious why people who have a hair line.. I mean I want to see them wearing their hair out.  And I don’t think that this is her Pro 10 hair….  But that’s okay because I like Brandy.  She has been a hair icon for many years.  I think we all wanted to be “Down” when Brandy was rocking her micros or “Brandy Braids” Like I use to call them.  Keep doing your thang Brandy I am not mad at you!

Wild Growth Oil

Ingredients:

Olive oil, jojoba oil, coconut oil, ergocalciferol (vit D), choline, inositol, iron, magesium, phosphorous, calcium, natural color, fragrance.

The scent is of cedarwood and something else i can’t put my finger on. it takes getting used to ut it’s worth it. it gives off a great sheen and is so thick that one bottle lasts forever. i like to mix it with my moisturizers to mask the smell and get two for the price of one if ya know what i mean! GREAT oil.

Solange Knowles

Ummmmmm I know she has a baby and that makes getting ready a lot harder because I experience that everyday… but she makes a decent salary so I just assume that she  would be able to press her edges… I’m just saying….. if you want the press and curl look then you must press it first!  Her son however looks amazing! I just had to point out this mess of the moment…
