New and Improved Invisibond Liquid Adhesive for Lace Front Wigs; Tinted and in Smaller Bottles

In recent weeks I have posted rave reviews about Supertape. For myself and many others, my preference for Supertape has not changed. However, I have said it in the past and I'll reiterate it here, there is no one lace front wig bonding agent that works perfectly for everyone. The adhesive that will work best for you depends on your body chemistry, life style and how long you would like to keep your lace wig on between reapplications.

Prior to switching to Supertape, I used and loved Invisibond liquid adhesive. Invisibond, which is manufactured by the same company that makes Supertape, is also easy to use and waterproof. I achieved a great hold with Invisibond. However, like all liquid adhesives, there is timely clean-up. As well, even though I do use Supertape with great success. I use Invisibond for mid-wear touch-ups.

Well, Invisibond is now new and improved. Currently only available in 4 oz. bottles, Invisibond will soon be available in 2 oz. bottles, which makes it less expensive and even more portable. The Hair Network currently sells Invisibond for $35. The 2 oz. bottles will be available for $20.

Even more exciting, Invisibond will be available in different tints to match various skin tones. Even though Invisibond is purported to dry clear, using a tinted adhesive should make the end result more natural and undetectable. At least that's what we think.

The Hair Network will be among the first companies to offer tinted Invisibond and smaller bottles. Even though tinted adhesive sounds like a great idea, we will organize a focus group to test and report on the effectiveness of a tinted liquid adhesive, before giving it sweeping recommendations, so stay tuned.

Well, that's the latest on adhesives. If you have any subjects that you would like me to cover in this blog, please let me know by commenting to this blog, emailing cnedd@comcast.net, or calling (888) 679-8760. In the interim, we invite you to browse our online showroom of lace wigs at http://www.thehairnetwork.com/.

Caring for Curly Lace Front Wigs

Caring for curly lace wigs is a challenge that many women have. But before I get down to the subject at hand, let me tell you about my amazing weekend. Also, I haven't blogged for a few days because I was - and still am -- a little backed up on emails and telephone calls which have increased significantly since I started blogging. Please bear with me; I'm answering all communiques personally as quickly as I can.

This weekend, I assisted a girlfriend with an event she produced called "Faces of Ethiopia." It was a beautiful event - a fundraiser for the Ethiopian North American Health Professionals Association. Debbie Allen was the featured guest; proceeds from the event went to provide healthcare for the people of Ethiopia.

After that event, I attended Motown's 50th Anniversary celebration -- which was being held in the same building. I had a ball! Smokey Robinson and Berry Gordy were there; Teena Marie performed with her daughter. The highlight of my evening for me, however, was meeting celebrity kingmaker, Benny Medina. He's awesome. Sorry, no pics. I wasn't even thinking. But I will provide pics in the future.

Back to the business at hand....

Caring for Curlies
First, let me establish that curly lace front wigs are a challenge. The hair used to make curly lace front wigs is not naturally curly. It has to be chemically permed in order to obtain the curly/wavy texture. If you talk to women who curly perm their hair, the perm does make their hair more difficult to manage. It becomes poofy, drier-looking and frizzy. Remember jherri curl juise that we had to constantly use to maintain a moist-formed curl.

Many of the women who purchase curly lace front wigs want the look to stay tame, glossy and frizz-free. As a result, they continuously wet with water and apply too much product -- sheens, serums, mousses -- in order to achieve and maintain the desired look. While they may attain the look in the morning, once the hair dries as the day goes on, the hair poofs again, looks dry, frizzes and tangles primarily from rubbing on their clothing at the nape. Adding to this problem, at night and in the morning the routine of applying product is repeated -- without shampooing the hair -- causing the hair to tangle even more. Sound familiar?

Well here are a few tips to help manage a curly lace front wig:

1. When purchasing a curly, opt for a light density. All human hair will increase in volume as it is worn. By ordering a light density, as the hair poofs a bit, you will still have manageable volume and a nice look.
2. Understand that you are purchasing human hair. Human hair will react to the climate, plain and simple. While the curl pattern may look beautiful when wet, as the hair dries, the pattern is going to loosen a bit and not always remain in perfectly shaped ringlets like it does when it is wet.
3. Keep hair clean! I cannot stress this enough. Product in the hair, particularly heavy creams, oils and serums, WILL cause tangling and matting if they are allowed to build-up. Non-African-Americans have to wash their hair every day, or every other day in order to maintain beautiful hair. Adding product every day and washing it once a week, or every other week WILL lead to build-up and tangling.
4. Make sure hair is tangle-free before washing. Before washing, first finger-comb hair and then comb with a "shampoo comb" - from bottom to top -- to ensure that there are no tangles in the hair, especially at the nape. If there are any tangles in the hair when it is submerged in the water, the water will lock the tangles causing a matted mess.
5. Spritz hair with water before shampooing. When dry hair is submerged in water, the hair shaft immediately absorbs the water causing the hair to suddently swell and get poofy.
6. Use distilled water. Of course, everyone doesn't have to do this, especially if you know that your water is treated, or softened. However, there are parts of the country where the water is just too harsh on hair. I've heard reports of ladies having problems with their natural hair as a result of hard water. So I make this recommendation because I don't know what the water is like in everywhere.
7. Use a gentle shampoo with a low ph. I recommend Creme of Nature for Dry and Brittle Hair. It is the one with the green label. It does an excellent job of silking the hair. Use tepid water -- not cold and not too warm -- swish, or drag, hair in the sink/basin with all of the hair flowing in one direction. Or, wash hair on a mannequin head to ensure that all hair hangs downward.
8. Rinse hair thoroughly. Again, this is to make sure there is no product -- the shampoo -- building up in the hair. Then squeeze gently from top to bottom to remove excess water.
9. Apply a light leave-in conditioner. I recommend Aussie Mousse - Catch the Wave -- which is also a leave-in conditioner.
10. Air-dry hair. Let hair air dry. If in a hurry can use a blow-dryer on a low setting For curly hair, use a blow-dryer with a diffuser attachment.
11. Pin-curl hair before drying. To better ensure the curl pattern that you want, pin curl hair while it is wet and either blow-dry, or let air dry.
12. Do not sleep on, or leave the house with wet hair. If wet hair rub against the car seat, or on clothing, it will dry tangled from the rubbing.
13. Pin-curl hair at night. To maintain your look from day to day, instead of relying on the product to reform the curls, simply pin curl your hair at night and tie up with a silk scarf, or wear a bonnet. Remember ladies, lace wigs are human hair, not synthetic. Something has to be done to maintain the style of human hair.
14. Go with the look. The look of curly/wavy hair will include a little volume.

Curly lace wigs take work to maintain. The hair has been chemically processed to achieve the curly look, it is not naturally curly. So while the hair does have a curl pattern, it may not be as curly, or wavy as you like without preparation and styling.

One of our most popular styles is the Glamourlace Oprah-style. I always advise first time lace wig wearers not to purchase a curly lace wig because of the maintenance. Newbies should become comfortable with applying, wearing and removing a lace wig before taking on the additional challenge of maintaining the curl.

Well that about covers it for this post. As always, I welcome your questions, comments and encourage you to share your experiences. You can check out our collection of Glamourlace wigs at www.thehairnetwork.com.

Avoiding Glue in Baby Hair of Lace Front Wig

You've applied your lace front wig and achieved a good bond. There's only one problem, your baby hair is plastered down on your forehead because there's glue in the hair. It seems like such a tiny amount, but you can't get it out and restore the fluffy, free look that your baby hair once had.

Getting glue stuck in the baby hair of a lace front wig is one of the common aggravations of a novice. But don't give up, I have several tips to avoid the problem.

First, make sure there is no adhesive applied beyond your desired hairline.Often novices assume they know where their hairline should, or will be once they've applied their lace front. Not necessarily so. For women who intend to place the hairline of the lace front just outside of their own hairline, this could be a safer bet. However, there could be spots -- especially at the top of the forehead -- where you may need to place the hairline just slightly higher. For women who no longer have a hairline, or who would like to create a lower hairline, guessing where the hairline should be could result in adhesive being applied beyond the hairline you ultimately would like to achieve.

The solution is to position the lace front wig -- before applying -- on your head and playing around with the hairline, by moving it up and down until it is positioned in the ideal place for you. Then mark that position, by lightly outlining with an eyebrow pencil. Remove wig, or roll the hairline back, and apply adhesive right at the line making sure no adhesive is outside of the line. This will ensure that there is no adhesive applied beyond the area where you desire to place your wig.

When prepping the lace front wig for application, make sure all of the baby hair is clipped back. After the lace has been cut back to the hairline, using clips, simply go around the perimeter of the wig to clip the baby hair back from the hairline. This will ensure that there is no baby hair hanging over the edge of the hairline to get stuck in the glue until after your wig has been applied.

Make sure the adhesive is not wet, but tacky to the touch, when you place the wig down on your forehead to bond. Wet glue WILL seep along the hairline and through the cap of the lace front wig and get into the hair. As a result, when you release the baby hair to arrange it along your hairline, glue will already be in the baby hair. Trying to remove this glue with 99% alcohol, or the remover, may work to a degree. However, it won't be to your satisfaction AND you will not be able to avoid releasing the bond.

When pressing the wig down onto the glue, do not use your fingers. When you use your fingers, you will get glue on them. Once glue gets on your fingers, it will get on the hair, usually the baby hair. Instead, tap lightly with your finger tip, or fingernail, then press firmly with the back end of a comb. Pressing with a comb keeps the hair on the other side of the comb while pressing.

Your entire application process, including keeping glue out of the baby hair, will improve with patience and practice.

Lace Front Wig News by The Hair Network: The Nape: Achieving A Good Bond at the Nape of Your Lace Front Wig

Lace Front Wig News by The Hair Network: The Nape: Achieving A Good Bond at the Nape of Your Lace Front Wig

The Nape: Achieving A Good Bond at the Nape of Your Lace Front Wig

Bonding the nape of a lace front wig is a challenge for all of us. First, we can't see what we're doing, second many of us have a lot of hair on our necks and third the adhesive either does not stick in the first place, or it does not hold for any length of time.

I often get emails from customers inquiring about the best adhesive to use for a longer hold at the nape. And, while I still don't think there is one adhesive that works well for everyone, I have two tips that will help achieve a more secure bond and longer-lasting hold.

The nape of a lace front wig should be bonded in the "bend" of your neck, not below. To bond a lace wig at the bend of your neck, first it must fit properly. There are two measurements that are taken into account while fitting for a lace front wig - the "nape" and the "front to nape" measurements. The measurement that is the most critical to a good bond is the front to nape measurement. This is the measurement that begins at the forehead and ends at the nape, which is at the bend of the neck. When taking this measurement, some measure beyond the nape to account for all of the hair that grows down their neck. In my "neck" of the woods, we call this the "kitchen." I don't care how strong the adhesive is, if the wig is bonded below the nape, or the bend in the neck, it will not hold. The adhesive will release -- and believe me you want it to -- from the natural bending and pivoting of your neck.

Apply adhesive and bond the lace front wig to clean dry skin in the bend of your neck. Unless someone has experienced something I have not - and please do share if you have - lace wigs do not bond well to hair. Some people shave that extra hair below their nape in order to achieve a better bond. Now let me be clear. This does not mean that you have to shave the back of your head. I am not suggesting that you shave anything above the bend in your neck. That hair, in fact should be braided up and growing during the time you're rocking the lace.

Back in the day, hair stylists shaved the hair below the nape anyway. If you don't want to shave your "kitchen", then I suggest parting your hair at the nape and putting the adhesive in the part. Tape will not stick to hair very well at all. So in the latter case of parting your hair I recommend using Invisibond Liquid Adhesive, or an adhesive that works well for you.

Handle gently. Do not pull at the back of the lace front wig when styling your hair in a ponytail, or updo. Remember the hair is just glued, or taped down - it isn't nailed down. Your hold will last longer if you gently swoop the hair up with your fingers before lightly smoothing with a brush. This will keep your corners from lifting.

As for not being able to see what you're doing back there, applying adhesive at the nape and landing your lace front wig in the right place will come with practice. If you're a newbie, don't get discouraged and impatient. You will soon have it down and be able to apply your lace front wig, from front to nape, within 10 - 15 minutes.

I welcome your questions, comments and any experiences you would like to share. Future blogs will explain how to keep the glue out of your baby hair and handling tangling issues while washing. Until then, as always,

Cutting The Lace Back to the Hairline A Must for Daily Wear of Your Lace Front Wig

In the past two weeks, I've heard two pretty wild stories about how lace wigs were applied by stylists. In one instance, a customer called to tell me that the "glue was buckling under her lace." After asking her to repeat this several times, because I couldn't imagine what she was talking about, I finally realized that her stylist had left about an inch of lace on the hairline of her wig and literally glued the wig down to her forehead.

Apparently the stylist had used so much glue that it buckled when it dried - quite like how Elmer's Glue bubbles when it dries under paper. Got the picture? In this case, the glue dried leaving bumps under the lace which could clearly be seen on her forehead.

In another incident, the customer was concerned about the appearance of her wig after it had been applied by her stylist because she could see a ridge around the hairline of her wig and hair "under the lace cap." I couldn't even imagine this, so again, after questioning and actually her sending a picture, I could see that the stylist had applied the wig by folding the hairline of the cap under and -- somehow because I still can't imagine it really -- attaching the wig to the customers head. In doing this a ridge was formed by the lace, quite like folding material like mohair, for example. You could see the ridge of the fold; some of the hair at her hairline was on top of the fold and some was under the fold. The hair that was under the fold sort of created a bang, which the stylist cut along with the hairstyle.

One of the questions I am frequently asked by lace front newbies is how close should the lace be cut to the hairline. Or, how much lace should I leave around the perimeter of the wig. My answer is, "NONE." The lace should be cut back to the hairline. That way, when the wig is applied, it actually looks like the hair is growing from the scalp of the wearer.

So where did this notion of leaving about an inch of lace on the wig come from? We've all seen Tyra and Beyonce' in their earlier lace wig wearing days with the lace still attached to their wigs and the wig glued down to their heads. Why did their stylists do this?

Enter the theatre. Lace wigs are often worn by stage performers (ergo Tyra and Beyonce). For some reason I myself am not quite sure of, about an inch of lace is left on the performer's wig. The lace is then covered with pancake make-up. Because of the make-up and distance, the lace usually cannot be seen from the audience. Additionally, in the theatre, there are no up close shots like there are on television and by the paparazzi.

Pancake make-up aside, in close shots of Beyonce, or Tyra, you could clearly see the lace. You could especially see the glue under the lace as the lace started to lift. The brow is often furrowed when making facial expressions, so lace will lift easily if applied to forehead instead of hairline.

In every day wear the lace can clearly be seen - I don't care how close of a match the colour of the lace is to your skin. The lace can especially be seen in offices, malls and other places with bright flourescent lighting. Even if you did a good job of covering the lace with make-up, anyone who walked up on you WILL be able to see the lace AND the makeup that is caught between the mesh in the lace.

So ladies, please cut the lace all the way back to the hairline with a pair of small sharp scissors. Cutting the lace is as simple as 1 - 2 - 3:

1. First pull the hair back into a ponytail, or large clip.
2. Then, using large bobbie pins, or hair clips, clip back all of the baby hair to prevent the hair from being cut - and later from getting stuck in the bonding adhesive, or tape.
3. Beginning anywhere, with a small pair of sharp scissors, cut the lace all the way back to the hairline. Take small snips so that if you make a mistake by slightly cutting into the hairline, it won't be noticeable.

Cutting into the hairline where the hair is will not damage the wig overall. The hair has been individually ventilated into the wig; snipping in one place will not unravel any "threads" in a lace wig. There are no threads. Further, if you need to create a special hairline for yourself, or want to cut the hairline back at the temples, or over the ears, you can. You won't damage the wig.

The Hair Network sends detailed instructions with its Glamourlace Wigs. In both of the examples mentioned above, the customer received the instructions, but the stylists insisted on doing it their way. Lace front wigs are still relatively new and stylists may not know how to properly apply them.

Honestly, cutting the lace is something you can do yourself. However, if you want your stylist to do it, please take whatever instructions you were given with you to your appointment and insist that the lace be cut all the way back to the hairline.

Supertape: Part Two -- Tips and Tricks

Go ladies! The response to my Supertape blog post was overwhelming and so were the orders for the product. So much so that I decided to follow-up the glowing testimonial with a few tips and tricks.

Like any other lace front wig bonding product, there are always a few tips that will make a good product great. So here are a few tips that I've learned purely from experience.

1. Make sure to always bond Supertape to a clean dry surface. Like with all other lace wig adhesives and tapes, you must use alcohol to make sure that your forehead and neck are clean from make-up, face cleansers and soap.
2. If you have a hairy hairline (lots of baby hair), using the tape may not be ideal. Usually when women who have hairy hairlines want to wear lace front wigs, they are instructed to part the baby hair, put the adhesive in the part and bond the wig there. Placing the tape on all hair is not a good idea. The tape will not stick as well - because hair is not a flat surface -- and it is more difficult to remove tape from hair.
3. When removing tape from baby hair, generously spray the Pure Citrus Remover onto the tape and wait for the stickiness to breakdown. Pure Citrus Remover is the remover that was made by the company for Supertape and Invisibond. When lifting the tape to remove, if any part of the tape doesn't remove easily, spray more Pure Citrus Remover between the tape and the hair while gently continuing to lift the tape. I hope that made sense.
4. Everyone seems to have trouble getting the tape -- or any other adhesive for that matter -- to stick at their nape. The trick here is to bond the wig in the BEND of your neck. If you try to bond the wig below the bend, it will lift from the natural pivoting of your neck.
5. If you're having a problem with the tape at certain points for some reason -- like your temples, for example -- do not hesitate to use a combination of the Supertape and the Invisibond.
6. When placing the Supertape on your forehead first and then bonding the wig, sometimes it is hard to get the edge of your lace wig right to the edge of the tape. This will get better with practice, however using a small applicator, like a toothpick, or the stem of a Q-Tip, apply a little Invisibond under the "lip" caused by extending the wig beyond the tape. This way you want have any lifted spots.
7. Take Supertape and the rest of your Adhesive Packet with you when you travel. Anything can happen and you should always be ready for touch-ups. I'll get into why I'm bringing this up in a future post.

I think that about covers it. If anyone else has tips, please do not hesitate to share. Your comments are certainly welcomed.

As an aside -- we had a great time at this weeks Glamourlace Information and Application Class. Many women took advantage of our special offer. Char S. was our model this week. After her lace wig was applied during the Application Class, she took off for Vegas. I hope you took your kit Char.

Our next Glamourlace Class will be on September 28th - details to follow. Mark your calendar!

Supertape for Lace Front Wigs Works Better Than Bonding Adhesives

In a statement, I love Supertape! In my opinion, it works better than all of the lace front wig bonding adhesives that I've tried so far.

And, I've tried plenty: Ultra Hold, Might Tight, Safe Grip, Vapon No Tape, Spirit Gum and Invisibond. I have to admit that I like Invisibond. However, after using Supertape, I don't think I'll be using it again.

Prior to trying Supertape, clients would email me with glowing Supertape testimonials, but I just couldn't imagine that it would hold so well. In fact, I had tried other tapes before, primarily Topstick, which is sold by Vapon. Topstick tape didn't even pretend to stick to my head; not even for 3 seconds. As a result, I assumed that all tapes were ineffective.

Enter my sister. My sister, God bless her, is a three-time cancer survivor. As a sidebar, I want to take the time to say that I love my sister dearly. Even though she has gone through so much, she is one of the most optimistic and energetic people I know. Anyway, after undergoing surgery just a week and a half prior, my sister wanted a lace front because she was going to a wedding. Of course I obliged -- even though I thought she should have stayed in bed -- and offered to apply a lace front. When I saw the long scar down the back of her head and neck, I was hesitant to use glue. I was thinking she had follow-up doctor's appointments and removing the glue, along with clean-up, etc. would not be a good thing. So I used the Supertape.

First of all, the Supertape only took about 10 minutes to apply. Using the Supertape roll, I rolled a strip from ear-to-ear along her hairline. Then I cut three separate strips along her nape. I positioned the wig on her head with the hairline rolled back, and removed the paper strip from the double-sided tape. Then I pressed -- starting at the center of her forehead -- the lace front wig onto the tape all around the perimeter of her head and voila! I was finished and it was very, very secure. So secure that I ran home, removed my lace front wig, did the obligatory clean-up and reapplied using the Supertape.

As a personal user now, I am pleased to report the following: 1) It literally takes minutes to apply a lace front wig using the Supertape; 2) If you press really lightly at first for positioning, you have a second or two to gently pull it back up to re-position and press hard; 3) IT DOESN'T MOVE, OR MELTDOWN - even when I sweat! 4) Supertape stays in place until you are ready to reapply. 5) There is no shine that is usually associated with the tapes. 6) Removal and clean-up is easy and quick. In fact, there is no removal of glue from the lace front wig.

Supertape is billed as the strongest extended wear bonding tape that will last for up to 40 days before needing to reapply. Unfortunately I will never be able to report on this because I like to remove my lace wig to shampoo and massage my scalp once a week - sometimes every other week if I'm too busy. However, based on the experiences that I have had, I believe that it will last for 40 days if that is what the wearer prefers.

Supertape is packaged in 3/4" and 1" rolls of 3, and 12 yards. It is also packaged in contoured strips. It is skin-safe, or "medical grade", waterproof and odorless. Use of Supertape eliminates gooey, sticky residue clean-up.

The Hair Network sells Supertape on our website at www.thehairnetwork.com. Please let me know about your experience.

ANTM - That Was No Lace Front Wig

Forgive me Tyra, but I just had to comment on the so-called lace front wig that was given to Bianca on this week's episode of America's Next Top Model.

For those of you who may not have seen the show this week, it was the makeover episode where model contestants receive the looks they are to rock for the remainder of the season. Every season one, or two of the contestants are unhappy with their looks to the point of tears. This season it was the saucy, partially red-headed Bianca.

When stylists removed Bianca's weave, reportedly her hair was so damaged from the red dyes and weaves, that -- to Bianca's dismay -- the show decided to shave her head. Enter a wigmaker who claimed to make and give Bianca a lace front wig. NOT! That was no lace front wig.

Ideal for women with hair loss, lace wigs - once applied -- appear as through the hair of the wig is growing from the head of the wearer. To achieve this look, the wig is uniquely constructed and the wig is applied to the head with skin-safe adhesives, or tape. The wig that was given to Bianca looked like a regular wig that had to have a side bang in order to hide the edge of the cap.

Recently because certain celebrities (I won't mention any names) have been wearing them, they are popular even among women who have hair - lots of hair.

The adhesives used to apply lace wigs are no different than the adhesives that have traditionally been used by men to bond toupees. As a result, lace wigs are not taken on and off everyday - like the one given to Bianca. After application, they are secure and can be worn for weeks at a time without removing. Wearing a lace wig is like having your own hair.

To achieve it's natural look, the wig is built on an ultra sheer net base (similar to a stocking). Strand-by-strand, hair is ventilated by hand onto the cap of the wig, making the hair appear like hair follicles growing from the scalp.

Once they are applied, it appears as though the hair of the wig is growing from the scalp. They create a hairline and scalp illusion that makes it appear as though the hair of the wig IS the hair of the wearer.

The wig that was made for and given to Bianca did not achieve that affect. If I recall correctly, the gentleman who made the wig said something about it having some sort of plastic, rubber or something around the perimeter so that it would stay on. It didn't look natural and I don't blame Bianca for not liking it.

Honestly Bianca, you're a beautiful Black woman whether you have hair, or not. I actually think your new look -- without the wig, of course -- may take you far in the competition. However, a real lace front wig would give you a beautiful mane of hair to work with. Give me a call (888) 679-8760 after the competition, I'll make sure you get one!
