RAW HUMAN HAIR So, what is raw hair and where does it come from? Raw unprocessed human hair is sourced mainly from overseas. India, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, and South America are hotspots for raw hair. Hair that comes from China is usually processed in some form. They apply chemicals, steam it, bleach it blonde, remove the cuticle and coat the cap with silicone to match various textures. On the other hand, raw hair is exactly as the name applies; Raw, unprocessed, 100% human hair. When you think about unprocessed this means it has not undergone ANY chemical, heat or steam processing. Raw hair is the most purest and natural form of hair available on the market. Raw hair is great; the quality is top notch and if taken care of, it can last from two to four years. Now lets get into the details of raw hair. Single donor hair is a bundle of hair that is cut only from one donor, that is what’s called single drawn hair. Double donor hair is cut twice from one donor (This type of hair is more expensive than a single donor). When the hair is collected from donors it is examined for evidence of lice then its washed, shampooed, conditioned, sorted then made into the wigs, frontals, closures, and bundles we all love! The beauty of Raw hair is that no two bundles are the same in terms of color and texture. That’s because the hair is not steamed from uniformed patterns. The other thing to keep in mind is that raw human hair will most likely be aligned, meaning the hair is organized in the same direction to keep hair from tangling. To test this out you can simply take a few strands of hair starting from the top and run your fingers down the length of hair. It should be very smooth, however if you do the same thing in the opposite direction you should feel some resistance or friction that is an indication of real quality hair that will last from two to four years (depending on how well the hair is cared for). Raw hair does require regular maintenance to maintain its sheen. As weird as it seems, raw hair needs a lot of moisturizing and conditioning. We highly recommend using quality products, salon grade hair care products may cost more, but in the long run it will preserve the life span of your wigs or hair extensions. If that’s not an option for you then please use products that has no sulfates, paraneans, or alcohol as these ingredients tend to strip raw hair leaving it dull and brittle. There are specific products you should and should not use on raw hair. MAIN FEATURES OF RAW HUMAN HAIR Raw Indian: Raw Indian hair is extremely popular and favored by clientele and usually comes in lighter brown colors- which may be a pro if you need to blend it with lighter colored natural leave outs. See our collection of our raw Indian hair here. Raw Vietnamese: Raw Vietnamese is usually comes in a bomb straight texture. Super smooth and perfect for any sleek looks. The texture is also great for blending with natural hair. See more here. Raw Cambodian: Raw Cambodian hair is very full body, thick, wavy and mostly used for curlier styles. South American: Raw South American hair is very full body hair that comes in straight, wavy, and in rare cases curly. What makes South American hair great is that the colors, textures and lengths are well suited to most ethnicities. VIRGIN HUMAN HAIR Virgin hair is a term for hair that has never been chemically processed. Chemically processed hair is hair that has been color treated, permed, relaxed, bleached or dyed. Unlike raw hair, which only comes in three textures (and usually one to three origins), Virgin hair comes in a variety of origins and textures. Raw hair normally comes in 3 froms, straight, natural wave, and curly. You have more of a variety with Virgin hair, the textures and patterns range from Brazilian to Mongolian, and comes in a variety of textures like kinky curly, body wave, deep curly, etc. Steam processing or steaming allows for the creating of those hot exotic and unique styles including: body wave, deep wave, mink or silky straight, Italian curl or Spanish wave, kinky curl, tight curl, curly wave, loose wave, kinky straight, 4C Afro kinky, natural wave, Blonde 613.

You can part the wig anywhere and you can even rock cornrows if you want to. But remember that some 360-lace wigs have an opening at the crown that must be finished off with additional hair extensions. They are most often made with human hair and can be dyed, curled, or straightened to meet your styling needs. Lace-front wigs, full-lace or 360-lace wigs will all require you to trim the lace around the edge of the wig and manipulate to get the part you wish to create. ALH now offers the option of adding hair to the original hairline that matches your natural hairline to give it a seamless look. Since full-lace wigs come in different levels of hair density, meaning some wigs are fuller than others, you may need to adjust the width of the part by requesting less density. Our wigs come with pre-plucked hairline and remember, it is very important that you save time and money by ordering you wigs from us at Ada Leroux Hair.

I know many of you have you have seen the new craze over transparent lace and HD lace. Today’s blog will help you to help you better understand the differences between the two and whether they’re a fit for you. HD stands for “high definition”. HD lace uses a lace material that used to be called Swiss lace, which is invisible when applied to the scalp. This ensures that the wig-wearer can wear hairstyles that expose the full hairline. These HD lace wigs look very natural and render the lace along the hairline undetectable. HD Lace is the thinnest lace there is, it disappears into the scalp like no other. You can finally wear the same lace wigs that your favorite celebrities has but without the extremely high cost. What Is Transparent Lace? This lace is made typically from French or Swiss lace (Swiss lace is more commonly used for transparent lace extensions). Transparent lace is very thin lace, blends easily with most skin tones and is ventilated with real human hair. The best part about it is that this lace makes the hand-tied knots less visible. What’s The Difference Between Normal lace and HD Lace? The key to wearing a wig is to make it look as natural as possible. Nobody likes the “grid” look, it’s not acceptable anymore. The HD lace (Swiss lace) is more see-through than normal lace, which can better blend into the scalp, and make the hairline look more natural and less visible. We often recommend the transparent lace to women with lighter skin tones, but recently we found that the transparent color lace can melt into any skin tone after we bleach the hair knots. But according to the features of the lace material itself, HD lace (Swiss lace) is still thinner, more delicate, and transparent than the normal transparent lace. The Pros & Cons of Each Wig Lace

Method 1: Wig Combs Almost all wigs usually come with hand sewn comb inside the wig caps if done properly they are placed in the following areas: the crown, back of the head and just above the ears. Just be aware that wig combs are only effective if you have some hair and you are not wearing a wig cap. Wig combs are easy to use and an inexpensive way of securing your wigs every day of the week. They come in different colors to match all your different wigs, as well as different sizes, to complement the different stylings of our wigs too. Once you’ve styled your wig, all your need to do is lift a handful of the top section of the wig and place the combs in to secure the wig around your scalp. It’s good to do a few trial runs of securing the wig with combs before wearing your wig out just so you feel comfortable and confident with where the combs are placed. Method 2: Wig Tape Before using any wig tape or adhesive it’s always a great idea to do a skin test on the inside of your elbow. Why? To make sure you’re not allergic to the ingredients in these products. If you notice any rashes, itching, or even swelling, discard that product before you put it on your head. If you’re a cancer patient please speak with your doctor before using any types of products on your skin. The wig tape is attached to the underside of your wig to secure a comfortable bond to your scalp. This type of bond may last from 7 to 10 days. It is a great place to start if you can not to secure your wig with your own hair. I strongly recommend you purchase the accompanying wig tape or glue solvent as it cuts down on the removal time of your wig. It’s a more scalp-friendly alternative to wig glue, as adhesives can irritate a sensitive scalp, especially for those recovering from cancer treatment. Wig tape is a great way to keep your wig in place whilst still allowing for natural movement and the low residue tape allows for an easy clean-up. The tape is good for daily wear dependent on temperature, humidity and body oils of the wig-wearer. Method 3: Wig Caps For those asking how to secure a capless wig, a wig cap may be the perfect solution for you. There are many benefits to wearing a wig cap, most importantly it guarantees that your long or short natural hair will stay in place. What’s more, it prevents friction from breaking the natural hair by creating a safe and sanitized barrier between the wig and scalp, maintaining the cleanliness of your wig. Some of our customers love wig caps, and some don’t. It is a completely personal preference. Wig caps don’t just act a protective barrier between the scalp and your wig, they are also the perfect tool for helping keep your wig in place. Method 4: Wig Grip The Wig Grip was designed to make wearing a wig during hair loss more secure, confident and comfortable. It adjusts to body movements, distributes the weight of a wig or hat evenly and keeps them from slipping. It is phenomenal for alleviating pressure and provides great wig security. If you want to remove your wig regularly throughout the day, it is easy to take on and off with the wig grip. If you wear wig tape all day you can sometimes get a tension headache, while that typically won’t happen with a wig grip. You might find that a wig grip band is a lightweight, durable, and very comfortable solution. Method 5: Wig Glue Like with wig tape, wig glue should only be used by people little or no hair. As with wig tape, wig glue is an extremely secure method of wig attachment, and you could potentially rip out hairs when you remove it. Remember to purchase wig tape or glue remover solvent to make the removal process easier. Wig glue is a adhesive that will dry clear, require at least two or three coats to create a strong bond, and won’t leave stains. Most glue is has a water base and is pliable (it will move with your skin rather than staying stiff in one area).

QUICK LOOK AT BOTH Frontals and closures have different advantages and setbacks, the choice you make between them depends on what you are trying to achieve with your wigs or hair extensions. In short, frontals and closures are what we call mini hairpieces, they are used to finish off your sew ins or added to top wigs for more volume. Naturally the goal is to give you a flawless but natural look, like the hair is growing out of your scalp. Let’s start with frontals. FRONTALS We at Ada Leroux Hair really love frontals, they are so versatile allowing for styling flexibility. Of the two mini hairpieces mentioned above, a frontal usually measures 13 inches in length from ear to ear and go 4 to 6 inches deep. This length is great because it allows for deeper partings and front updo’s. Secondly, they are a great solution for women and girls experiencing traction Alopecia or other medical hair loss issues because they also require less bundles. Frontals are made with a lightweight materials: the hair is hand tied knotted to the lace so that when its laid next to skin looks like hair growing out of scalp. Customization is often required and should be done by an experienced hair stylist. Due to delicate materials used a word of caution is needed, as great as frontals are we do not recommend them for daily everyday wear. Frontals give you so many options for styling. You can do a center part or deep-side part, but you can also pull your hair back into a half-ponytail or full ponytail. This is a great option for those who like to mix up their looks and change the way they part their hair. With this hairpiece, you’re not limited to the number of ways you can part or style your hair. Do keep in mind, because frontals are so versatile and include more material, they do tend to be pricier than closures. CLOSURES A closure is similar to a frontal, but it has more limitations when it comes to styling. Instead of having a strip of scalp-like material that runs from ear to ear, the closure typically comes in a horseshoe shape in the following sizes: 4×4, 5×5, 6×6, and even 7×7- inch. Closures are hand tied and knotted with human hair giving the illusion of hair growing from scalp. The closure can be placed on the middle, right or left side of the sew in or wig. Unlike the frontal, which allows you to part your hair in an infinite number of ways, the closure only allows for a few different parting styles. If that is a big concern for you, then opt in to the largest sizes closures 5×5, 6×6, or 7×7-inch. Closures are an excellent choice for daily wear and tends to be a bit easier to manage. If you are thinking about trying bangs then closures are great way to test that look out. Keep in mind it’s not really possible to create up-dos or half ponytails with closures, but they are great for every day styles that is why they cost a bit less than frontals. Quality and grade of hair also may factor into the cost. Extend the life of your wigs and hair extensions buy wearing our newest products, our satin bonnets are a great choice for maintaining hair quality.

How to successfully care for your system at home Keep your hair system looking great I remember the very first wig I bought, I was so excited. My wig was a long wavy black one, back then it was called a “french body wave”. I wore my first wig for about a week and I decided to wash it because I was in a hurry and needed it to look a certain way. So I took it off my head and just started wetting it. To my horror the wig became completely matted to the point I could not do anything to fix it. Needless to say I ended up having to buy another wig that same day. As I became a hairstylist and learned more about hair and extensions I realized that I was not properly educated in how to wash my wig or hair extensions. I did not realize that beauty shop “hair” is not really hair. Have you ever noticed when you buy hair that it seems to get matted or tangled after washing it just a couple of times? That’s because its literally disreguarded hair from the temples or hair collected from brushes and combs. Ugh anyways, the point I am trying to make is that I did not purchase good quality hair to begin with, nor did I know how to wash it correctly. So, I thought perhaps you may want to know how to successfully wash your wig at home. First let me start by saying if you search online you will see many different examples of how to wash a wig at home. Some suggestions are good and some are not. I am sharing my experiences of trial and error by washing my own wigs at home. You must decide which suggestions works best for you. Tip 1 Deciding how often you want to wash your wig is a personal choice. However, many women choose to wash their lace wigs and hair extensions every one to two weeks. In the Summer the hot weather can be a bit of a challenge, in such cases it’s a good idea to simply rinse hair with lukewarm water and apply conditioner sparingly to avoid buildup. If the hair begins to feel sticky or dry, it may be time to give it a good shampoo. The same goes for if the wig begins to lose its curl or volume. Remember, washing your wig will limit its lifespan, so you don’t want to over wash it. If you wear a wig cap underneath and remove your wig before going to bed, you can help reduce the number of times you need to shampoo and condition it. Ada Leroux Hair offers real satin bonnets in different colors. These bonnets will protect your wig and hair extensions while you sleep at night because it reduces the amount of friction your new hair will experience. Plus it extends the lifespan of your wigs, extensions, and toppers. Tip 2 Before you purchase your next wig please buy a styrofoam head or a canvas block head. You can find them both on Amazon but the styrofoam head can be found at your local beauty supply store for next to nothing. Now I normally start with a canvas block head that is smaller than my actual wig size. For example, I wear a small to medium wig cap so I would get a small canvas if you don’t want to overstretch your wig. Next I take my wig and pin it down to the canvas block head then I put one more pin in the back so it doesn’t fall off. Once I’ve done that the next thing I’m going to do is comb the wig out make sure there’s no tangles in it at all. Of course you want to get the right shampoo (sulfur-free) for the rest of the steps. After I’ve combed it out, take the wig and set it down into the sink. Just begin to wet it with water until it’s fully saturated. Once it’s fully saturated put it in your hand in and rub it around a little bit and then slowly add more shampoo to it. Remember to keep the shampoo and conditioner away from the lace because the lace has been hand knotted and if it gets wet then hair will start to shed more so be careful. Tip 3 Carefully rinse the shampoo and conditioner out of the hair, which is very easy to do because you have the wig sitting on the wig head. It’s been my personal experience over the years that this is actually the best way to shampoo and condition your wig. Instead of trying to hold the wig in your hand and doing all that other stuff this is it’s better with a block head. It’s stress-free and you allow the wig to keep its shape. Most well-made wigs have a shape that it fits around your head and if you mess around with that too much it will literally cause it to collapse and it will lose its shape. So when you’re not wearing your wig it’s always a good idea to put it on the styrofoam head or on a canvas block. Now the hair should feel really soft and I’m also suggest you remove your wig off the styrofoam head or canvas block head and lay it on top of a soft towel and gently roll it to remove the excess water.
