Full Lace Wigs vs Hair Extensions

Will it be a full lace wig or do you stick with the hair extensions you know and love?

That is the question many of our clients are asking. The answer is "whatever you are most comfortable wearing is the best thing for you". Having said that we thought it would be nice to give you as much information as possible to make this decision as easy as possible.

Lace Wigs

Pros:
  • Application and removal of the Lace Wig can be done yourself
  • You can part your hair anywhere you want including down the centre and put it up in a high ponytail
  • No excessive itching...so you can put away the rat tail comb.
  • Your head can breathe through the wig so your hair will dry quickly.
  • Since each hair is hand tied the hair will move in a natural way
  • You don't feel or see any tracks
  • More value: although there may be a higher initial cost for a lace wig, you save money by replying the unit yourself.
  • You have complete versatility in the style you are wearing. You can have bangs one day, pulled back the next
  • No need to worry about your own hair since it is all hidden under the wig...it gets a well needed break
Cons:
  • You must learn how to properly apply the unit
  • Finding the right adhesive for you, there are many different types of adhesives on the market, how long they last depends on your personal body chemistry
  • Reapplication is usually required every 3 to 4 weeks
  • Clean-up of the unit prior to reapplication, this can take quite a long time depending on the type of adhesive that is used.
  • Can pull the hair around the hairline out if not applied or removed correctly.


Extensions

Pros:
  • Does not need to be reapplied for up to 3 months
  • No need to worry about lifting of adhesive
  • Lower initial investment when compared to wigs







Cons:
  • Does not give a natural hairline
  • Limited styling due to tracks
  • Cannot pull your hair back unless some of your hair is left out unless you are using the MyMy weave whcih gives you a very natural look
  • Natural hair which is left out must be processed to match the wefted hair, this sometimes causes breakage
  • Can feel like a hat depending on the weave technique that your stylist uses
  • Can take a long time to dry sometimes causing odour depending on the weave technique
  • Can be very itchy
  • Tracks can be visible, especially in a strong wind
  • Can pull the hair on your hairline out if the hair is braided too tightly
There is good and bad in every product, the best thing is to properly educate yourself not only on the good but more so on the bad so you fully understand the nature of the product you are purchasing.

If you don't see yourself giving up your extensions but want the versatility of the Lace Wig, opt for a Full Lace Closure. It gives you the versatility of a lace wig, allowing you to pull your hair back; have bangs one day or have a part the next...and you can keep the security of your beloved extensions at the back.

If you Love the versatility of the Full Lace Wig but want the added security of Hair extensions opt for sewing your lace wig to tracks. Braid your hair as usual but instead or using adhesive to secure your unit leave a little of your hair out around the hairline and sew the wig to the track around the circumference of your head. You now don’t have to worry about reapply adhesive or fixing it if it begins to lift.
The more you know the better decisions will you will make and the less disappointment you will experience.

If you have any questions please call us toll free 1 866 886-8927.

Hairstyle With Bangs



Having a hairstyle with bangs is becoming more and more popular due to the trend of waves in 2007, and there are several different ways that someone can wear this type of hairstyle. Bangs work great for a wide variety of women, since a hairstyle with bangs can actually change the shape of someone’s face, draw more attention to their eyes, or even make an individual look more groomed by keeping their hair off of their face. No matter what reason you may have, a hairstyle with bangs can work for almost anyone.

Long, sexy waves

Long, sexy wavesJust as in the above hairstyle, you don't wash the hair everyday as dirty hair is easier to manage. Get the hair damp and use salt water in a spray to bring out the wavy curls. Salt spray will do amazing things to your hair.
According to the salons, everyone's hair has some natural waves and patterns and this will bring this out and intensify it. This style is so hot, just look at the sexy sirens that sport it, Jessica Alba and Shakira. They wear this style so very well. Add a simple locket or amulet to make it that much hotter. So try spritzing or spraying a little salt water on already damp hair, scrunch it and then let it air dry. Scrunching it while it is wet will give it volume and randomness. Since most hair has some sort of natural wave, the salt spray will bring it out.

Asian Hair Gets a Bad Rep...


Asia is the worlds largest and most populous continent, having a population of almost 4 billion people. To put this number into perspective the population of the USA is just over 300 million.
Contrary to what most people think Asia is not simply China. Asia is made up of a number of regions and people, China simply being one of them.



Everything shown in green is considered Asia; please note Russia is also considered part of Asia.

The misconception out there is that Asian hair is the worst hair on the market, have you heard or read the following anywhere?
-Asian hair is stick straight
-Asian hair is always very coarse
-Asian hair is very dark (black in color)
-Asian hair will only look good if worn by an Asian person
-Asian hair will not last
As with any product there is good and bad and Asian hair is no different… so yes over processed Asian hair is bad but so is over processed European hair and we won’t mention Indian since we have established that India is also considered part of Asia.

There is a wide variety of Asian hair on the market with origins from Malaysia to Mongolia and Russia. Some Asian hair is very straight others are very wavy; some can be very fine while others can be coarse, some is very dark and yet others are light in color, it all depends on where it came from. Because of its population and diversity Asia is an excellent source of human hair so when trying to decide what type of hair to purchase make sure you understand what you want and why you want it.

I can wear any hair I want but I like to wear my hair straight with some body so I choose to wear virgin Asian hair from Malaysia, the color is dark brown and the texture is slightly coarse which looks like perm straight without having any chemicals. The hair has good weight so it tends to sit where I put it. It does not accumulate a static charge and holds a curl very well this equals great value for your money.

Good Hair is Worth its Weight in Gold...


Good human hair is becoming rarer and rarer. Most human hair on the market originates from China and India. These contries have not only the population to accomadate supply and demand but they also grow their hair to long lengths, this enables hair companies to source from these countries while keeping costs down.

Recently the Industrialization of these countries has caused a reduction in the amount of hair available on the market... causing the price to rise. In addition to this the labour cost in these countries is also rising, compounded with the high cost of fuel and lower USD against the Chinese dollar (RMB) equals higher pricing.

The retail customer may not immediately make the correlation between the above factors and how they affect the cost, especially in a natural product such as hair.

When customers perceive a high cost for long lengths of hair we explain that our raw hair is not mechanically produced... Think of how long it takes you to grow 1 inch of hair, then consider how long it took someone to grow 22,24,26 inches of hair. Much of the time this puts things into perspective.

We warn customers about purchasing hair based on price alone and encourage them to research its purity is they encounter a price that appears to good to be true... it usually is.

Miss MyMy Inc will only use the finest human hair available, combined with the finest skilled workmanship available to process the hair. Quality control, customer service and the best materials are the three things that contribute to our success.

To date Miss MyMy Inc has not introduced an increase in the cost of its products to its customers in response to the changing market.

Lace Front Wigs - Coloring

Many clients purchase our virgin hair and would like to personalize the color to their specific needs... we think this is a great idea!!

Miss MyMy Virgin hair has not been chemically processed in any way other than cleaning and sterilization so it is the ideal hair for doing whatever you want. But before moving forward with processing lace wigs, you should know a little about hair and color.

We recommend that you take the unit to a stylist who specializes in color but if you don't want to do that and feel like you can do it yourself please read the following before starting. We do not make any guarantees and do not accept any responsibility for your results. This article is purely for your information.

For anyone to be successful in altering hair color of their lace wig, it is essential that the base color and pigmentation be understood. It is also important to understand all the factors related to the hair of your lace wig that can affect the outcome of your color.

The cortex of the hair contains the melanin of the hair. The higher the concentration of melanin in the hair, the darker the hair will be. There are two types of melanin Eumelanin which is found in black and brunette hair and Phaeomelanin found in blonde and red hair. A mixture of the two different types of melanin can be found at the same time in many people.

The cortex determine the thickness, elasticity and strength of the hair as well as being responsible for housing the hairs natural color pigments.

I am starting to grow my hair out and it's at a difficult in-between stage. Do you have an style ideas?

There's alot of tricks to help you get through that "transition stage". Keep reminding yourself that you want this, and in 6 months to a year you'll have the hairstyle you want!

The best way to manage your style and mix up your look is with cute and funky accessories. Headbands are all the rage at the moment. Pretty pins will also help keep that floppy fringe out of your eyes. Play around to find different ways to pin your hair up and make it look longer.

Even boys can adopt this look. A wide cloth headband worn to hold the hair out of your face.

Scarves are also a very cool way to tie your hair back, and a great style accessory.

Another option is to buy a cool hat and start wearing it all the time to hide your growing out hair. Make it your signature look for this season! Berets and pageboy hats are the favourite with celebrities including Ashley Simpson, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton.

Growing out bangs can be a massive pain, but a secret is to have your stylist angle them. Then as they grow you can brush them to the side as they get longer.
Some hair growing facts and tips:

* Your hair only grows up to 6 inches a year!
* The weather can affect your hair growth- Hair grows quicker in hotter months, and slower during winter.
* Not everyone can grow a head of waist length hair! Fine, thin or severely damaged hair probably won't
grow past a medium length very easily.

* Poor diet and stress may sometimes be a cause of slow hair growth. The healthier you are, the better condition and appearance your hair will have.

If you're ready for the commitment of growing long hair, make sure you continue to have regular trims to keep your hair looking and feeling healthy. It might seem like the quickest way to grow your hair is not to cut it at all, but that is not the case. Regular trims, every 8-10 weeks, will keep your hair looking good while you go through many stages of growing it out.

Also ask your hair stylist to cut your hair to aid the hair growth. For instance, if you're trying to grow out layers, the stylist can cut the back up shorter while waiting for the sides to catch up. If you're trying to grow out bangs, you might end up with a mullet look (longer at the back, shorter at the front), so the stylist can keep the back shorter while the front catches up.

Lacefront Wigs: A Measurement Guide




This is a guide for measuring your head if you want to further customize your lacefront wigs. Please have your hair as flat as possible and use a soft flexible measuring tape. Measure each section 3 times for accuracy.

Measurement One: This is for the entire circumference of your head. Please measure slightly above the ear and to the nape of the neck for the most accurate measurement.

Measurement Two: It is best to look down at your feet while taking this measurement to ensure that you do not have the wig come too far down the nape of your neck. Make sure the measuring tape is centered down the middle of your head from the center of your hairline.

Measurement Three: The measuring of your forehead should begin slightly above where your ear lobe begins and continues across your hairline to your other ear.

Measurement Four: This should measure across the top of your head from ear to ear.

Measurement Five: Place one side of the measuring tape the temple and then bring the tape across the middle of the back of the head.

Measurement Six: For an accurate measurement place the measuring tape at the lowest part of your hairline on the nape of your neck.

For most people the measurements of small, medium or large will work, especially if you have a stretch lace cap. Men or women with very small heads should consider custom measurements. If you select custom measurements please email us these measurements.

Thank you.
