    What Exactly Happens In A Bleach Bath?

    As some of you know, there is that method called bleach bath, helping worn and tangling wigs become "like new" again. Following precise instructions (there are many youtube tutorials around), it actually splits in three steps: 1. dripping the hair in a cloth bleath water solution (and rinse...

    Full Cap: Elastic Band In The Back - Health Risk?

    Since I went from toupet to full cap, I've been having struggle with fixation of the wig in the back, i.e. nape area. I tried taping and glueing it down, but it wouldn't work. Didn't stay in place when moving... plus even hurting... getting itchy after 24h and so on and so on... So I switched...

    Where To Order Full Cap Lace Wigs That Last? (tangling In The Nape!)

    Tried NWL, when I wore just toupet, not full cap. Liked TopLace more... However both became too expensive when it came to long hair full caps. No experience yet with wigs by hairdirect, just their products.

    Where To Order Full Cap Lace Wigs That Last? (tangling In The Nape!)

    Ever since I went from topuet to full-cap (because my sides have thinned down to 30%) I've been facing immense trouble with my full caps. As my former (toupet) supplier wanted very high prices for full caps, I couldn't afford it and went looking for orders directly from Chinese factories, with...

    I have to colour my full cap (transparent, clear swiss lace) from medium brown to dark brown, but I want to protect the lace from getting stains. I've seen some people on youtube using different kind of products on the lace, but I don't quite get which one works best to protect the lace (without...

    May You Brush Wet Hair? If Not, Why Not?

    I'm wearing a full cap (swiss lace), 14 inch curly/wavy human hair. Currently one a daily reattachment routine, but in the future hopefully 7+ days in a row, so I'll sleep and shower with it. After watching a lot of videos on how to car for your hair replacement, I came across a quite popular...

    Rather Choose Too Dark Or Too Bright Hair?

    I have dark brown hair on my head, however my sideburns and beard are brighter (beard is a complete mix of brown, blond, some grey, but no red tones!), while my eyebrows have a cold brown, almost black... I used to order hair system (long hairstyle) in a 50:50 colour mix of #2 and #3. However...

    Keeping Wig Base Hygienic W/o Shampooing Every Day?

    Hey folks, following problem here: As I found out that my horrible(!) tangling issues with my long hair, medium curly full cap only appear when I wear my hair in a wet (or towel dry state), I'm currently having a strategy of really rinsing and shampooing the wig only once a week and let it dry...

    Attachment (24/7) And Care Questions For Full Lace Wig

    Thank you, I've seen the dusting with powder video, and agree they look good: But I guess it's impossible to shower or swim with it? All the powder would mess up, rinse down anywhere and the effect would be gone and it might look worse than before? What do you mean with silicone band aids? I've...

    Hello, I'm a male, but as I go for long hair full cap wigs, I thought that the ladies aboard are much more familiar with the following issues than most men are: I'm a European male, aged 33, and almost completely bald (Norwood 6). As my sides and back have also been thinning heavily (only about...
