Sometimes, the excited customer has this fantasy of being able to unpack their first lace front wig and achieve a flawless application in record time. You've done the research, learned all you can and you're ready. Sometimes, it's frustrating and takes practice to get your application technique just right. Although it's time consuming to practice applying your lace front wig, the results of the perfect application are well worth the effort. The best advice we can give you is to have patience. Set aside plenty of time to apply your unit, don't apply it in a rush, and most of all, be gentle with your unit becuase pulling just a tad too much, or being a little too careless with the scissors can damage the wig cap. Even the most experienced stylists occasionally have a snafu, pulling a wig too tightly or cutting too close to the hairline and experiencing a slip of the scissors.
The most important thing to learn about applying your wig for the first time is if it doesn't fit, don't stretch it. The most common damage to a wig cap is the result of trying to pull and stretch, a cap that is too small, to make it fit. You will notice that when you receive your wig, if you have lace around the perimeter, there is extra lace around the front hairline and the nape. This comes in handy if your cap fits but the hair doesn't quite cover your temples or sideburns. We can add more hair to the wig, our wigmakers are experts at extending a hairline. However, if you have already cut the extra lace away, this will no longer be an option.
When you unpack your wig, place it on your head to ensure it fits and the hair covers your own hairline before you begin to cut away the lace or try to apply the unit. Then, have patience, be willing to learn and experiment, and use our application guide (included with your order if you requested one) to help you through the process. Or make an appointment wih me by calling 610-277-1175.

How To Deal With a Wigs‘ shedding Problem For the full lace wigs or lace front wigs, having a shedding problem is really very bad. And it is really very very hard to be sure all the wigs won't have the shedding problem.No one can be sure that lace wigs never shedding,even on our own growing hair, we have loss everyday...You have to realize all of the full lace wigs are hand-tied work, and the hair is sewn on one by one and it takes about 1 month to produce one new wig.If the knots are not strong or after you wear for some time, some hair knots may loosen. The lace wigs may have a shedding problem.It is unavoidable... But we try our best to make all the knots strong enough, and choose the best wigs for the customers. We can do our best to extend our lace wigs life!
Sealing your wig's knots will help decrease shedding. The bottle of KNOT sealer you need is called " TDI KNOT SEALER" You can find it on my website.You will need a wig head, sealer and your lace unit. Turn the unit inside out. Then place the cap inside out on wig head. Spray unit lightly with sealer standing 6 to 8 inches away. DO NOT SPRAY SEALER ON HAIR. You should not be able to see the spray on your unit. If you do, you've used too much. The last step is the unit must dry for 15 to 30 minutes. If you remove it before then, it may not seal. You can seal your knots after each time you shampoo and condition your unit or preferrably after every removal.

Keratin is a basic protein presented in our hair, skin and nails. Since the salon treatment is often called Keratin straightening treatment, consumers assume that keratin is related to straight hair, but this is not correct. When Keratin Treatment for Hair is performed, a salon professional applies solution that instantly infuses the hair with keratin, repairing all damage and flaws within the hair. Keratin increases shine and reduces frizz, but does not directly straighten the hair itself as many people believe. After the application, the cocktail of various chemicals is added to your hair, and that creates the straightened effect by semi-permanently altering the hair’s structure. Results of keratin hair treatments may vary between consumers. Some of them are stating that the process works as promised and keeps their hair straight and smooth for several months, while others are not satisfied with the result of the treatment. Almost all of them are concerned about the exposure to dangerous chemicals such as Formaldehyde. For this reason several newer versions of the treatment have been created that do not use Formaldehyde at all. You can find Keratin hair treatments available at many salons all around the world. Some of them offer promotional discounts when a new version of the keratin hair treatment arrives. Ask a hairstylist you trust to see before-and-after photos of customers who had the treatment done, and don’t be shy and ask about the chemicals used in the treatment, and available safety precautions. For some clients a treatment that changes their hair for several months may be a big risk, but for others spending hours struggling with frizzy hair that refuses to straighten, keratin treatment for hair is a life-changing miracle. Call TODAY and schedule your Keratin Treatment

Hair Loss In Women, Causes and Solutions for Female Hair Loss Treatment Chronic Telogen Effluvium The most common form of hair loss in women, Chronic Telogen Effluvium (long term diffuse hair loss), is an increase in hair loss and decrease in hair thickness over a long period of time. You may have always seen excessive hair in the brush or shower and considered it normal.
It's only when your scalp becomes visible or your ponytail thickness reduces you may ask 'why is my hair falling out' and start investigating - which is probably why you're reading this now! Approximately 30% of pre-menopausal women are affected by Female hair loss in the UK, so if you think your hair is thinning, you're not alone! Stopping Female hair loss and regaining hair thickness, depends on establishing the true cause and dealing with it as quickly as possible. What Causes Chronic Telogen Effluvium?Often combinations of problems contribute to female hair loss. Women are increasingly under greater stress, high-pressure jobs, juggling work and family life, leaving less time to consider their own health and wellbeing. Stress 'burns off' vital nutrients such as B vitamins which are vital for good hair quality and growth. Thyroid problems, endocrine imbalances, yo-yo dieting, crash weight loss, vegetarian and low protein diets can all contribute to hair loss in women. Other nutrients including iron, zinc, copper, selenium, vitamin A and essential fatty acids are vital for hair health. There are countless hair supplements on the market today, however we don't recommend you attempt to design your own female hair loss nutritional program without the help of a qualified professional. You may waste time and money or cause further problems by using the wrong supplements. Low Iron (Ferritin) and Female Hair LossOne of the most common causes of hair loss in women, without doubt is low Iron stores. A large majority of the women who consult a Trichologist have below optimum Iron stores for good hair growth. A study conducted on 1000 women revealed 33% suffered female hair loss, 90% caused by low Iron stores and 10% caused by Genetic (female pattern baldness) or other factors. GP's are often unaware of exactly which blood tests to carry out for female hair loss, most opting for the Full Blood Count and Haemoglobin tests for anaemia. However, the most important blood test for a woman suffering female hair loss is the Serum Ferritin, a test for iron stores. Research has not established a link between low Haemoglobin and hair loss as they have with low Serum Ferritin. Once the Serum Ferritin level increases and reaches a certain trigger point - around 70ug/l, hair loss should decrease and hair growth improve. You may have already been prescribed iron tablets and not found an improvement in your hair but are you using them correctly or taking enough of the best form? Low B12 and Hair LossLow B12 - another cause of hair loss in women which is frequently missed by GP's. It's not a routine blood test and even when a person is tested for B12, if the result is borderline they will rarely be treated. The minimum level for B12 is around 180 ng/l however most healthy people have a level of around 500ng/l. Symptoms of low B12 include hair loss, breathlessness, lack of energy palpitations, bleeding gum's, mouth ulcers, tingling in the hands and feet.
There are two types of B12 deficiency: - Lack of dietary B12 - usually vegetarians and vegans, B12 is mostly found in animal produce rather than plants. Solution - increase dietary B12 or/and take a B12 supplement.
- Autoimmune - Antibodies to intrinsic factor prevent absorption of dietary B12. A blood test for intrinsic factor can be carried out to determine if your problem is dietary or autoimmune. If your problem is auto immune your GP will do further investigation to try to determine why it has developed. Treatment - lifelong B12 injections

Hydration Steam TherapyHydration Steam Therapy is now offered at D.D. Daughters Lace Wig Beautique a Salon near Norristown/Bridgeport and 20 mins. outside Philadelphia, PA. Call MYISHA at 610-277-1175 for an appointment today! 415 Dekalb Street, Bridgeport, PA 19405 Steam played an important part as healing and relaxation techniques used in ancient times. Steam therapy is a deep conditioning treatment using water, which is changed into vapors of steam. The tiny sized molecules penetrates the hair roots and fibers and releases moisture into the scalp thus allowing scalp to cleanse, purify, open clogged pores and release toxins. When using the power of steam while deep conditioning, you are encouraging both the nourishing properties of the conditioner applied and the hydrating qualities of water, to penetrate deep inside the hair shaft. BENEFITS:1-Promotes hair growthWhen done regularly, hair steaming can help promote hair growth at its root. By strengthening you hair through steaming, it will continue to grow longer and you will never have to worry about hair breakage any more. Nevertheless, it is essential to form healthy habits in order to prevent air breakage or drying out. Open blocked scalp pores allowing hair to grow. If the pores are clogged, hair follicles will not be able to grow. Steaming allows the scalp to cleanse, purify and release toxins. Steaming helps uncloffing your pores and giving hair the maxium chance of re-growing fast. 2-Dandruff TreatmentYou can use a variety of methods to treat your hair, but the most effective treatment is steaming. While doctors often recommend the usage of anti-fungal agent, hair steaming is proven effective with no significant side effects. It can help eliminate dandruff if you do it consistently.
3-Improves ElasticityImprove elasticity of the hair: This is the ability of the hair strand to be stretched without breaking. If the hair has no elasticity, it is easy to break and split. Steam helps to resolve this.

There is no absolute answer to this question. But ask your doctor/Hairstylist for their opinion. Consider waiting to color your hair until the second trimester, when your developing baby is less vulnerable. Also, rather than using an all-over hair color, consider a process like streaking, highlighting, painting, or frosting, in which the chemicals have little or no contact with your scalp. (Any hair-coloring agents absorbed into your system would come through your skin, not through your hair shaft.) If you do choose to color your own hair, wear gloves and work in a well-ventilated space to minimize your exposure to the chemicals used in the coloring process. Don't leave the dye on any longer than necessary, and thoroughly rinse your scalp at the end of the process.
he biggest concern for pregnant women is the smell of he chemicals, and how long you are in contact with such chemicals....Happy Coloring!
