We’ve all had it pretty rough due to the state of the economy these days, and we think this holiday season our customers should be spending more of their money on their loved ones - not on their hair! That’s why, until the end of the year, we’ve decided to reduce the price across the board on all of our stock hair pieces.

We’ve also added a new custom stock option. For just $175, choose from any of our stock base models and fully customize it. This includes hair length, hair style, hair color, density, base size and body wave. Basically you’ll get a full custom hair replacement for the price of stock! These pieces currently take about 4-6 weeks to deliver so order yours today and have it in time for the holidays!

Once your system is removed you may begin the cleaning and total tape removal process.

For the sake of your skin and the integrity of your system PLEASE use remover for all aspects of your removal and cleaning process of tape tabs.

Applying your system to your head

Before applying you may want to prep your scalp for the attachment as well. We have a great Skin Care product that removes any residual oils, calms the skin, closes the pours preparing your scalp for the attachment and the days wear.

Starting in the front, place your system on your head, in the proper location, and gently roll the system back adjusting it into place as you go. Once the system is completely down and sitting correctly on your head, press the tape firmly into place. You’re now ready to do your final styling and you’re out the door.

When conditioning with a rinse out conditioner, apply the conditioner in the same manner as the shampoo avoiding the base of your wig. Conditioner should only be applied and massaged into the hair and the ends are the most important area to concentrate on. Allow the conditioner to stay on the hair for a minimum of 3 minutes and rinse thoroughly for a minimum of 3 minutes. It is essential that you remove as much conditioner from the base as possible so try not to get any conditioner on the base at all.

Once your wig is cleaned and conditioned place it on a clean absorbent towel and gently roll the wig into the towel pressing to remove any excess moisture. Remove from the towel, hold by the front and gently shake the wig to fluff the hair. Using a broad brush or wide tooth comb starting at the tips of the hair go through your wig to smooth and remove any tangles there may be. Once you’ve combed through the hair shake the wig again to fluff the hair.

It’s best to place your wet wig on an open wig stand as opposed to a Styrofoam or canvas wig block. This allows your wig and base to dry completely. If using a hair dryer, we recommend an Ionic dryer and dry the wig holding the front and working the dryer through the hair as well as the base. You shouldn’t dry completely with the dryer. Leave the wig slightly damp and continue to air dry.

If you use a tape tab for tape or adhesive be sure to wipe these areas with alcohol before applying tape to assure all conditioner residue is removed from the tape tab areas.

Always use Adhesive remover when removing tape from the tape tab area. Even if you have a durable heavier tape tab, it will allow the tape to be easily removed eliminating any chance of damage to your system this is particularly important with all skin systems. We also recommend soaking your system in our Yellow Cleaner/Conditioner. This is a safe and effective all natural product that effectively breaks down the adhesives and loosens any residue in the mesh, lace or hair. To get that stubborn accumulation from your system use a “SOFT” bristle tooth brush and gently brush the residue away from the base and hair.

Once the tape, adhesive and residue have been removed, add a capful of shampoo to a basin or plastic container. Add lukewarm water and emulsify the shampoo in the water. Place your system base side up in the basin and gently swish in the soapy water. You may let your system sit for several minutes if you wish. (We suggest you repeat this procedure 2 to 3 times to assure all the cleaner/conditioner or solvent has been removed from the system) Rinse your system under lukewarm running water for at least 3 minutes and check to be sure all adhesive and solvent residues have been removed. Repeat the washing of your system if necessary.

If you choose to use rinse out conditioner, add a capful to your clean basin. Fill with water and emulsify the conditioner. Allow your system to soak for a minimum of 3 minutes and rinse thoroughly.

(When rinsing, hold your system by the front and allow a low pressure stream of water flow from the bottom of the base through the hair.)

Place your clean system on a clean absorbent towel and gently roll the towel with the system inside to remove excess water. Holding the system by the front of the base gently wave in the air to fluff the hair. You can then apply leave in conditioner and any styling product you choose. Gently brush into your desired style and let air dry if possible.

Before re-applying your tape or adhesive you may want to wipe the tape tab with a small amount of alcohol to remove any conditioner residue that may be on your tabs. This will allow for your attachment to work at its optimum.

You are no doubt cleaning your hair system in the shower. We strongly suggest that you start with a good quality shampoo containing protein. We also suggest you invest in a small plastic travel size bottle to keep in your shower. Remember that your system is made up of a mesh or synthetic skin base so you have to be sure to clean thoroughly and gently.

Stand with your back to the shower head and tilt your head back so the water flows from your forehead back and down your back. You want to avoid direct shower flow in one spot on your head. The pressure from the shower, even low pressure, can cause the hair to back into the base of your system. This is called inversion and the hair will tangle on the underside of the base causing subsequent hair loss and definitely discomfort. Having the water flow back and forth from your forehead down keeps the hair going in one direction and will prevent tangling and inversion.

Put a small amount of shampoo into your plastic bottle, add water and dilute your shampoo. Pour a small amount into the palm of your hand and distribute to your head. If you have a squirt top for your bottle, you can distribute the shampoo using the bottle and in both cases use all the diluted shampoo.
Lather gently by pressing the shampoo through the hair and into the base of your system. Allow the shampoo to work but avoid rubbing or scrubbing your head. This will insure your hair and scalp are clean while avoiding any harmful friction to the hair.

The reason for diluting the shampoo is to make it easier to rinse from the hair and base material of your system.
Rinse thoroughly then rinse thoroughly again. It is important to get the shampoo totally rinsed from your hair and especially the base of your system.

If you use a rinse out conditioner you can use the same system of diluting the conditioner however, we strongly suggest leave in conditioner or conditioning only your hair. At all cost if you apply conditioner directly gently work the conditioner on to the hair with our finger tips and make all efforts to avoid too much contact with the base of your system then rinse thoroughly and rinse thoroughly again.

Gently pat dry your hair, apply a leave in conditioner and any styling products and if possible allow to air dry. If you do need to use a hair dryer we recommend you use an ionic dryer to limit the loss of moisture to your hair.

While you can easily achieve a more natural appearance with a system that is made with lighter more delicate materials it is not impossible to get the same result with a more durable construction.

Hair replacements being made today use a variety of base materials. Recently the trend has gone towards “Program Hair” meaning you have several units, change them frequently and throw away the system when it’s time to change to a new one. What this means is that the hair retailers in the recent past demanded that the manufacturers make products that were lighter, thinner and most importantly they wanted them cheaper and faster. This is where the breakdown begins.

If you require cheaper products manufactured at a faster rate, something has to give, and that’s quality. Once the retailers started getting their cheaper faster systems in they discovered that without the quality they had only one option and that was to sell the consumer more products. Keep them “addicted” to hair and get there hands on your credit card so they could keep charging you monthly whether you needed service or a new system or NOT. Great gimmick!!

This is what has trapped so many into programs where the retailer holds the customer’s additional hair replacements hostage to keep the customer’s business. Here’s the funny part - many of those retailers are still buying your systems one or at best two at a time. It’s your monthly fee that is paying for each new system you’ll require. In our 25+ years of working with retailers, the number who have actually ordered more than 3 systems at a time for a client is next to none. They just don’t do it.

If your hair replacement provider tells you your hair piece is custom, take it with a grain of salt. Most all program hair is stock and readily available for immediate delivery from one of the big wholesalers. Fast and cheap. These systems aren’t made to last longer than 30 to 60 days. Implanted hair and loops fall out like your own growing hair. They look great, for a while, but they aren’t intended for long term wear. We see this most frequently in Skin units as they are most susceptible to breaking down more rapidly than their mesh base counterparts.

If you want durability and a natural look we can give it to you. You won’t be using some of the materials they say are necessary for a natural look, but we’re certain you’ll be happy with the end result. It’s all a matter of taking your desires and your lifestyle into consideration and working with you to give you what you want and need. Remember the two areas that are most important for a natural look are the front of the hair replacement and the blending areas. Give us a call or email us. We can help.

Longevity from a hair piece is really kind of a relative concept. Our basic stock systems while originally designed for Program Selling have a pretty good life expectancy. We’ve found from our customers that based on lifestyle and care of the system our stock pieces have been found to last anywhere from 6 months to a year. The reason is the quality of the production. However, longevity for many means the system should last for one to two years or more. If longevity is a requirement we can definitely build a system for that and would suggest NextGen™ fiber is added to any system in which longevity is the main requirement.

Another important factor to the longevity of any hair system is the application and wear of the system. If you are permanently or semi permanently attached and keep you hair on your head 24 hours a day and 5 to 21 days at a time we strongly suggest you have 2 systems. One way to accomplish this is to have an old system repaired and refurbished while a new system is being made. You’ll get a lot of mileage with your hair system by switching it with another each time you need to re-attach. Think of it this way: how would your underwear hold up if you wore the same pair 24 hours a day for 5 to 21 days at a time took it off, cleaned it and put it back on for another 5 to 21 days? UGLY THOUGHT isn’t it?? Having 2 systems at all times has many benefits the most important being that when you do switch you can really thoroughly clean your other system. Even the retailers don’t have this luxury and I can assure you after wearing your hair for an extended period of time it will require more than an half hour to do a proper cleaning and I would anticipate up to 24 hours due to the need to soak the system in cleaner to remove all residue from the hair and base. Check out our 2nd system savings and hair repair service for more info.

We are fortunate to have our NextGen™ fiber ready for this future situation and find that blending NextGen™ with human hair creates an unbelievable touch and feel along with ease of styling, quick drying and durability without the bulk of increased density to the system. It is truly the best of both worlds. Ask us about NextGen™ fiber when you call we’d be happy to tell you how this innovation can work for you.

Custom is required when a stock hair piece won’t work because of size, color, hair density, hair style, contour and frontal design. Generally speaking most will be accommodated with stock but there is nothing like a custom system for best in fit and appearance. We can help you determine what will be best for you based on your requirements and desires. Call us for a Free Phone Consultation and we’ll tell you honestly which way we think you should go. Naturally we make more money on a custom order but we want you to be happy and come back to us for your future hair replacement needs and we really do want what is best for you.
