Cathy Wearing Brittany (Silky Straight) Glamour Lace Wig

Hey Ladies - I finally changed my hairstyle.  I have been wearing our Cathy (Yaki Straight) Glamour Lace wig forever.  Now, I'm wearing the Brittany (Silky Straight) Glamour Lace Wig, and this time, I'm wearing it with curls.  It started out as an 18"; I cut it down to 14", layered it and curled with 1" Chi flat-irons.

The look isn't hard to maintain.  I simply pin-curl it before going to bed.  In the mornings, I take out the hairpins, run my fingers through and voila!  Instant Glam.

The Brittany is available in stock in colours, #1, #1B, #2, #4, #4/27, #4/30, #1B/30, #613, #27/30, #27, and more.  It can be custom made in any hair colour, per your specifications.

For more information, call me at the Glamour Lace Wig Store in Stone Mountain, Georgia (770) 557-0473, or my cell phone (313) 350-4241.  You can also email me at cnedd@comcast.net.  You can see the Brittany, or our other styles at http://www.thehairnetwork.com/.

Virgin Malaysian Hair Lace Wigs

Ever since Tariji P. Hensen tossed her beautiful malaysian wefts on the Monique Show, the demand for malaysian hair lace wigs has increased.  Virgin malaysian hair is absolutely stunning and premium lace wigs made from this hair are top of the line.

"I describe malaysian  hair as being a cross between indian and chinese hair," says Cathy Nedd, owner of thehairnetwork.com. "It has the soft wave properties of indian hair and the strength and thickness of chinese hair."

Cathy says that women who want to wear curled styles, love the pliability of indian hair.  Women who like straight styles do well with chinese hair.  However, often women want the valuable properties of both types of hair.

Enter, malaysian hair.  "Malaysian hair is glossy and  luxurious to the touch," says Cathy.  "It feels like a beautifully healthy head of hair that has a soft wave.  I tell my customers that it is best when it hasn't been processed, i.e. is ordered it still has it's natural colour, which means it hasn't been dyed, and no chemical processing has been applied."

If you have any questions about our Malaysian hair lace wigs, call me personally at (313) 350-4241 (cell), (770) 557-0473 (shop), or email cnedd@comcast.net.  To order a Glamour Lace Wig from The Hair Network, please visit our website at http://www.thehairnetwork.com/.  I hope to hear from you soon.

“Concealing” Your Hair Underneath the Lace; Creating a Realistic Part

I am often asked how to make the part of a lace wig look more realistic, or, how to camouflage hair underneath. Women have used many solutions to achieve a realistic-looking part from wearing a flesh-coloured wig cap to matching the part in their hair with the part of the wig.

To help with this issue, one of my clients – a proud wearer of Glamour Lace Wigs – Alice M. from Durham, NC, shares the following tip.

Alice literally “conceals” her hair by dabbing the underside of the net cap with under eye concealer. She uses Mac Studio Stick Concealer, but says any concealer will work including Maybelline ($15) and concealer from the beauty supply store ($3).

Her technique is simple. Using a thin paint brush, purchased from Walmart, she dabs a thick dot of concealer on the back of her hand and applies a streak to the net side of the wig where she parts the hair.

“I promise it will not harm the wig, or lace, and it shampoos out easily,” says Alice. “This is my trick and it works.”

An ex-Fashion Fair and Flori Roberts Corrective Make-up Consultant, Alice says she knows a little somethin’, somethin’ about make-up.

Try this trick and let me know if it works for you. Please email me at cnedd@thehairnetwork.com with your comments, or any questions you may have about lace wigs. Your question could be answered in a future Hair Network, Glamour Lace Blog. Check out our lace wigs at http://www.thehairnetwork.com/, or call (313) 350-4241.

Cary for Wavy, Curl Lace Wigs

One way to maintain a beautiful summer hair-style is to wear wavy and curly lace wigs. However, proper care of waves and curls is one of the most common problems that women experience. “Problems with curly units usually result from too much product build up,” says Cathy Nedd, owner of TheHairNetwork.com, online sellers of lace wigs and makers of Glamour Lace Wigs. “In their quest to reform and maintain the curl from day to day, women apply products for weeks without shampooing. This will definitely cause tangling.” Nedd says the most helpful tip to maintain a curly, or wavy unit is to keep hair clean by avoiding product build-up.

"Mousse and other curly-care products are needed to maintain curls from day to day," says Nedd, "butproduct build-up will cause the hair to feel gummy.

Beautiful curly locs can be maintained by following a simple care routine:

1) To form the curl, dampen hair, then apply an alcohol-free mousse. Scrunch and briefly hold hair in hand to form curls. Let dry naturally. PRODUCT RECOMMENDATION: Aussie Catch the Waves Mousse + Leave In-Conditioner.
2) Throughout the day, refrain from playing in hair. Finger-combing hair will separate the curls and add volume.
3) At night, tie hair up, or sleep with silk bonnet.
4) In the morning, re-dampen hair, scrunch and let dry naturally. Do not add more mousse, wetting the hair will re-activate mousse applied the previous day.
5) Repeat routing for about two, or three days without adding more mousse. Adding more mousse will contribute to product building, tangling and poofing.
6) On third or fourth morning, lightly shampoo hair in shower. Towel dry hair, apply mousse and repeat routine. PRODUCT RECOMMENDATION: Crème of Nature Detangling Conditioning Shampoo. SHAMPOO TIP: Do not put shampoo directly on hair. Put shampoo in water, or dilute shampoo in hands before applying to hair.

Follow this routine and you will have beautiful curly locs throughout the summer.

Lace Wigs Online Are Better Than Beauty Supply Store Lace Wigs

For sale online for years, lace wigs are now available in Beauty Supply Stores. The good news is that women, who are not otherwise comfortable researching and purchasing lace wigs online, can experience the wonderful world of lace wigs. The bad news is that Beauty Supply Store lace wigs are not as good as those purchased on line, or in specialty shops – and it shows.

“As an online seller of lace wigs, one of the questions that I frequently get from women who are not familiar with lace wigs is – ‘how do lace wigs achieve their invisible hairlines?’, ‘how do they work?’ and that is hard to describe in an email, or on the telephone,” says Cathy Nedd, owner of TheHairNetwork.Com, makers of Glamour Lace wigs and long time online seller of lace wigs. “Now that they are available in the Beauty Supply Stores, women can at least see how they work. The problem is they are putting anything on their heads. The intent is for a lace wig to look like your natural hair and with the Beauty Supply Store lace wigs the hairlines are unnatural looking and the hair looks shiny and fake.”

For those who do not know, lace wigs are the latest innovation in the hair industry. Real Indian remy lace wigs – not the ones purchased at the Beauty Supply Store – are made by hand. Individual strands of hair are “ventilated” into a sheer, light net base. As a result of this “strand-by-strand” technology, when the wig is properly applied, the hair of the wig appears as though it’s growing from your scalp. The hair can be parted anywhere, for versatile styling, and worn in a high ponytail.

According to Nedd, the noticeable differences between real lace wigs and the ones available at the Beauty Supply Store, are as follows:

Horseshoe Hairline – Beauty Supply Store lace wigs have an unnatural-looking hairline. The hairline looks like a perfect circle, or horseshoe which is a tale-tale sign. Real Indian remy lace wigs, like Glamour Lace Wigs, have a natural hairline. No one’s actual hairline is a perfect circle.

Baby Hair - Beauty Supply Store lace wigs do not have baby hair. Real indian remy human hair lace wigs, like Glamour Lace Wigs, have lots of beautiful baby hair which adds to the allure of the natural hairline of a lace wig.

Synthetic Hair – The majority of the lace wigs in the Beauty Supply Store are made from synthetic fibers. Synthetic fibers are okay if the wig is removed and re-attached every day. Lace wigs are “applied” with skin-safe adhesives. They are not meant to be removed every night. Synthetic fibers will quickly show wear and tear with constant body heat, showers, swimming, working out and cooking.

Silicone Coated Human Hair – The human hair lace wigs that are available in Beauty Supply Stores are made of an inferior grade of human hair that has been coated with silicone to make it appear nice. Once that hair has been shampooed, the true inferior performance of the hair will show.

“Remi” Branding – Beauty Supply Stores deceive their customers by taking advantage of the word “remy”, a word used in the industry that has become synonymous with quality human hair. The manufacturers of the Beauty Supply Store lace wigs are hiding behind the legality of branding and changing the spelling of the word, i.e. “remi” vs. “remy” – thereby using the word as a brand name as opposed to a description of the quality of the hair.

Front Lace vs. Full Lace – Nearly all of the lace wigs available in the Beauty Supply Stores are “front” lace wigs – without much lace - and not “full” lace wigs. Full lace wigs provide the wearer with an opportunity to make deep parts for versatile styling and wear the wig in a high ponytail. With full lace, the wig is bonded around the perimeter of the wig – the hair at the nape also looks as though it’s growing from the head.

These are a few differences between Beauty Supply Store lace wigs and “Real” Indian remy human hair lace wigs. While Beauty Supply Store lace wigs may be good for experimentation, real Indian remy lace wigs are ideal. And at TheHairNetwork.com, they are also affordable. To see and/or purchase, real Indian remy human hair lace wigs, visit The Hair Network at http://www.thehairnetwork.com/, call, or email Cathy Nedd directly at (313) 350-4241, cnedd@thehairnetwork.com.

"Knot My Problem" - The Best Lace Wig Knot Sealer

Ladies! Try this new knot sealer, "Knot My Problem", by the manufacturers of Invisibond Lace Wig Adhesive. I personally give it the Glamour Lace Wig seal of approval as the best knot sealer that I've tried to date.

Like many lace wig wearers, I have a bad habit of scrathing my head through my lace wig. Even more damaging, I sometimes stick sharp objects through the lace to get at those hard to reach spots. You know what I'm talking about. These bad habits, along with harsh brushing, over-styling, and sleeping without a scarf at night, WILL lead to premature and excessive shedding - shortening the lifespan of your lace wig.

However, while I strong warn against doing any of these things, I have experienced first hand the effectiveness of "Knot My Problem" in greatly reducing noticeable shedding.

"Knot My Problem" is water-based, odorless, and unlike other knot sealers, IT DOES NOT SHRINK THE LACE, According to the manufacturer, it works so well because, "it penetrates the knots to prevent shedding." One bottle lasts a long time.

Try it today. You can purchase "Knot My Problem" at our online lace wig store, http://www.thehairnetwork.com/. Or click here to purchase your bottle today.

Lace Wigs and Hair Loss; Glamourlace Wigs Are the Best Solution for Women Who Experience Hair Loss

We all know that wigs and other forms of hair enhancement are widely worn by women. What we don’t know is that many of these women are concealing hair loss. According to the American Hair Loss Association, 1 out of 4 women will have significant hair loss by age 35; 50% by age 50. Women experience various forms of hair loss including: alopecia, male pattern baldness, thinning hair due to aging, medications and styling and cancer recovery.

“The problem isn’t as noticeable because women are good at concealing their hair loss,” says Cathy Nedd, owner of TheHairNetwork.com, makers of Glamourlace Wigs and The Glamourlace Lace Front Wig Studio. “Women wear weaves, fusions, integrations and wigs so the many women walking around with significant hair loss aren’t as noticeable.”

“Unfortunately, once a woman has experienced significant hair loss many hair replacement alternatives are not workable, or advisable, because they require hair for attachment,” Cathy continued. “Our uniquely constructed Glamourlace Lace Front Wigs are an excellent solution for women with significant hair loss, because the wig is attached around the perimeter of the hairline.

Glamourlace Lace Front Wigs do not require hair for attachment. The wigs are attached around the perimeter of the hairline in a manner that creates a natural looking hairline, i.e. the hair appears as though it’s growing right from the scalp. Unlike regular wigs, Glamourlace Lace Front Wigs can be worn off the face and parted anywhere for versatile styling. They can also be worn in an updo, or high ponytail.

Also unlike regular wigs, lace front wigs can remain attached for several weeks at a time. The wearer does not have to worry about the wig slipping off – a problem that women with complete hair loss experience – nor remove it every night for bed.

Catrena, pictured above, began experiencing hair loss at age 12. She recounts first seeing a dime size patch of hair loss on one side of her head, then the other. She says that the patches of hair loss became larger and larger reaching total hair loss, called alopecia totalis, by age 24. She believes that the weaves she wore to conceal her hair loss accelerated her situation.

“The hair that I did have was really too weak to support the weaves,” said Catrena. “I believe the weaves that I had only made my hair fall out faster.”

“I love my Glamourlace wig. People really think it’s my own hair,” says Catrena. “It doesn’t shift during the day, I can finally wear my hair off of my face, and I get to wear a ponytail.”

African American Yaki Textured Lace Front Wigs Are A Hairdrobe Must Have

I love yaki straight lace fronts I’ve been wearing them for years. They are low maintenance, realistic looking for African American women and can be styled in many different ways. The Hair Network manufacturers several different yaki lace wigs, differentiated by length: The Bianca (8” to 12”), The Cathy (14” to 18”) and the Tiara (20” to 24”).

The hair of a yaki-textured Indian, or Asian remy lace wig is absolutely beautiful and does not require a lot of product to maintain. In fact, the less product used, the more bouncy and flowing the hair of your lace wig will be.

To take care of a yaki textured lace wig I recommend using Crème of Nature Detangling and Conditioning Shampoo with the Ultra Moisturizing Formula for Dry, Brittle Hair. That’s it! I wash my hair, let it dry and flat-iron it into my signature style. I wash my wig on or off my head once a week. When I remove it for reapplication, I first clean the glue from the netting then comb – with a wide-toothed comb to ensure – there are no tangles.

Then I fill the sink with tepid water, add a dollop or two of shampoo and swish my wig back and forth in the water. Sometimes I’ll repeat this twice to make sure my wig is thoroughly clean. Then I refill the sink with tepid water to rinse. I may also repeat this step twice. After squeezing gently to remove excess water, I hang my wig on a mannequin and comb into place with a wide-toothed comb taking care to part my wig wear I want the part to be for my style. I either let the wig air-dry overnight, or use a blow dryer on a cool, or luke-warm setting if I need to reapply right away.

Sometimes, if I want to wash my wig between reapplications, I soap cap my wig to get it clean. To soap cap, I hold my head – hair hanging – under the faucet in the tub, or use a spray attachment to wet the hair of my wig taking care not to get my own hair wet underneath the wig. Then I put a little shampoo in my had and rub throughout the hanging hair and rinse. I repeat this process on the other side by leaning my head in the opposite direction, wetting, shampooing and rinsing. I hope this makes sense. Then I blow dry my hair on a cool, or lukewarm setting until it is dry and style.

For daily maintenance, it helps to sleep on satin pillow, or to tie the hair up at night with a satin scarf. In the morning simply comb through with a wide-toothed comb, wear straight, flat-iron, or curl to style.

Yaki straight lace wigs can be styled in many different ways. They can be flat-ironed straight, bumped, loosely curled, tightly curled, rodded and crimped. They can be worn in a ponytail, or an updo. Glamourlace only manufacturers yaki straight wigs in darker colours, i.e. #1, #1B, #2, #3, #4, #6, #8, #9 and #10, although a small percentage of a lighter colour can be added for highlights – usually #30, #33 (auburn tones), or #27 (blonde). The reason for this is because of over-processing. Lighter colouring requires harsh processing which damages the hair. Applying yaki texturizing and harsh colouring further damages the hair. As well, yaki straight lace wigs can be cut into shorter sassy styles, or worn in cascading straight, or curly styles like Tyra Banks and Beyonce’.

Because the maintenance of a yaki-textured lace wig is so minimal, I recommend it as a first lace wig for many lace wig newbies. I strongly recommend that you add a Glamourlace yaki-textured lace front wig to your hairdrobe today. Logon to our website at http://www.thehairnetwork.com/, or call (888) 679-8760. We will be happy to assist you in placing your order.

Glamourlace Flagship Lace Front Wig Store to Open Soon

The Hair Network, makers of Glamourlace Wigs, will soon open a full-service lace front wigs store in Southfield, Michigan. The store, to be called Glamourlace Hair Enhancement Studio, will be located on Northwestern Highway at Franklin Road.

In addition to selling Glamourlace wigs, the store will provide application, cutting, custom colouring, styling and lace wig maintenance services for its customers.

Initially an online business supplying lace front wigs, The Hair Network decided to open a store to accomodate its customers.

"Our Michigan customers have always wanted to come to us to see the wigs and to obtain related services," says Cathy Nedd, owner and founder of The Hair Network. "The store will give us the opportunity to service our customers and expand our customer base."

"We also haev many requests from customers who want to fly in to obtain services," Cathy continues.

The Hair Network, which has customers in 22 countries and 40% of its overall business outside of the United States, will maintain its large base of online customers.

The store is scheduled to open by the end of the month. For more information call The Hiar Network at (888) 679-8760, or email cnedd@comcast.net. Visit its website at www.thehairnetwork.com.

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/. If you're looking to own a lace front wig for the holidays, now's the time to get one before the Holiday rush. We are doing are best to stock up for the holidays, but our cache of lace front wigs continue to go fast. Stay in touch, and

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.
