Washing Your Lace Wig Unit at Home

A good lace wig cleansing alternative that will save you time and money is washing your lace wig unit (yourself) at home. Just peep our quick and simple Lace Front Wig Washing (at Home) tutorial video (above) for a quick how-to lesson.

One of the keys to preserving and maintaining the overall life and condition of your lace wig unit is through proper lace wig washing & conditioning.

Proper and careful lace wig washing cannot be underestimated. Lace wig units are pretty fragile and delicate to begin with, and they are at their most vulnerable state once wet and submerged in shampoo/soap and water. So the steps and methods used while cleansing your lace wig unit should be according to suggested manufacturer instructions. The basic rule of thumb: be patient and gentle while washing your lace wig.

Being tough, rough or overly agitating the unit (i.e., ladies, washing your lace front wig like a you wash your under garments) while washing can cause the hand tied hair knots to slip and/or loosen.

Using the wrong types of shampoos and conditioners can also lead to shedding (over the counter shampoos are usually the wrong pH level and can strip the hair – be sure to use a wig shampoo and/or the suggested shampoos and conditioners for wig cleaning and maintenance).

And, combing the hair of your full lace wig unit while it’s wet is a big Lace Wig no-no!

Also, hot water and using heated dyers to dry your wet unit are also damaging to your unit over time as they add increased stress.

If you're not comfortable washing your own lace wig unit on your own, you can have it professionally cleaned. But just make sure the service provider knows what they're doing. I've heard a lot of horror stories from ladies who've paid $135.00 for their wigs to be washed & conditioned only to get it back with patches and bald spots all over (yikes!).

How to Avoid Hair Extensions Tangling And Matting

One of the worst things that could happen to a fresh install of hair extensions is matting and or tangling after one or two weeks of wear and normal manipulation.  Below are seven tips that can be used as you take care of your hair to help with the reduction of these annoying characteristics:


1. Keep the hair clean by washing at least once a week with warm water. Washing hair extensions should be done carefully with the use of a mild shampoo or a sulfate free shampoo that does not cause dryness and lead to further tangles. Conditioners along with a wide tooth comb can be very useful in detangling the hair. Try to avoid conditioners that heavily laden with silicones that cause further buildup on the hair.

2. Leave in conditioners are great for refreshing extensions especially curly ones however, applying too much can also lead to buildup which is a recipe for matting and tangles. One great DIY leave in conditioner is simply using your favorite ‘regular’ conditioner and dilute it with distilled water. Again, if there is buildup, just shampoo!

3. Sweat and chemicals from workouts and swimming will almost always cause matting and tangling. After the gym or a day at the pool, wash extensions immediately removing all buildup and chemicals that may cause dryness. Exposure to chorine can wreak havoc on extensions; try wearing a swimming cap to avoid excessive exposure to chlorine.

4. Avoid washing extensions by rubbing and moving the hair up and around and never pile your hair on top of your head. This movement will only cause excessive tangling during the cleaning process. Instead; use your hands in a smoothing motion from top to bottom of the extension in one direction. Apply the product in the same manner smoothing and squeezing the hair gently and allow the stream of water from the shower head to naturally detangle  the hair.

5. Make things easier in the shower by sectioning the hair when washing. Using the sectioning technique allows for easy product application and keeps tangles at bay during the cleaning process. Once each section is complete braid, twist or pin the section to keep it out of the way

6. Never go to sleep with the hair wet – sleeping with wet hair especially curly hair is a guaranteed recipe for frizz and matting. The best way to avoid this is to ensure that the hair is dry, sectioned and braided. (NB/ Braiding is not recommended for all hair types) Another necessity would be a satin pillowcase that prevents the hair from rubbing and does not dry out the hair.

7. Another excellent idea is to wear your extensions pinned up in an updo from time to time. You will find that tangling is most likely to occur at the nape area so pinning your hair up will eliminate the problem. You will find however that if you use quality virgin indian hair extensions, you will have very little tangling to begin with so spend wisely!

What are your tips for the prevention of tangling and matting?

How To Seal Wefts To Prevent Your Hair Extensions From Shedding

More and more of us are shunning cheap hair extensions in favor of good quality virgin Indian hair and why not? Virgin hair is softer shinier, moves more naturally and lasts way longer than standard beauty supply store hair.


It would be disingenuous to suggest that there isn’t a place for non-remy or even synthetic hair. This cheaper hair can be used when you are trying out a new style that requires a lot of cutting and you don’t want to risk ruining your virgin hair. Non remy hair is also perfectly suitable for a styles that you don’t intend to keep for months on end.

If all you want is a different look for a couple of weeks, there’s nothing wrong with synthetic weaves but if you are are planning to make weaves part of a long term protective styling regimen then starting off with quality hair will help you hit the ground running.

There’s nothing worse than wearing your gorgeous Indian remy hair for a few weeks then noticing that it is continuously shedding from the weft. I once had some beautiful curly extensions which had very intense shedding during the first wear and after a month I had areas of the weft that were completely bald! Needless to say, those extensions had to be thrown away.

Good hair extension vendors will make sure that the wefts are reinforced with extra stitching to prevent shedding but not all vendors do this. In fact because adding extra stitching to the wefts can make them bulkier, some vendors find that it’s not worth it.

Sealing the wefts
Sealing simply refers to reinforcing the hair extension wefts with glue to erradicate shedding altogether. By sealing the wefts as soon as you recieve the extensions, you safe-guard the weave against excess shedding making them last longer.

Even if you manage to get your hands on extensions that have reinforced, it is still good to get in the habit of sealing those wefts as soon as you get the hair to avoid any unnecessary headache mid wear.

Types of glue
Fabric glue: This is by far the best glue to use because ir remains flexilbe, dries clear and it’s also strong and water resistant. Some fabric glues may be white initially so make sure that the bottle states that the glue dries clear.

Super glue: Some ladies have had success with super glue because it is strong and prevents shedding completely but it also leaves the wefts hard and somewhat inflexible which may be a problem.

How to stop hair shedding
Here’s how you go about sealing the wefts

>Lay the hair extensions on a long table (I use my dining table) with the wrong side facing up. The wrong side is the one where the hair has been folded and the shorter hairs are clearly visible. It is also a good idea to protect the table with old newspaper to catch any glue spillage.
>Make sure that the glue that you are using has a pointed nozzle or an applicator brush. Start applying the glue directly over the stitches on the weft being careful not to get any glue on the hair itself. If the glue is not runny and does not soak through the weft, use your finger to rub it in.
>Once the entire bunde of hair has been sealed, let the glue dry completely without disturbing the hair.
>When dry, move on to the next bundle of hair and seal as before.

This is a very simple process and you will find that it will extend the life of your extensions wonderfully. Happy weaving!

How To Care for Brazilian Hair


Let’s Talk Hair Care!
Weaves and hair extensions are popular because they allow women to have longer and thicker looking hair. Virgin Brazilian hair extensions are beautiful and natural looking as well as smooth and silky so that you look and feel wonderful. You should take care of your hair extensions so that they last long and do not damage your hair. There are some things that you can do at home to take care of your hair extensions so that you do not have to go to the salon every time which can be time consuming and expensive.

How To Care For Brazilian Hair Extensions
The first thing to do is have the weave applied professionally so that it is easy to care for and looks good. If it is not applied as it should, it may come out earlier than it should or it will strain your own hair causing excessive damage and breakage. The weave should not be too tight as this may damage your natural hair and scalp which will lead to pain and damage.

It should also not be attached loosely as then it may also cause your hair to break and it will not last long as it may look untidy after a very short period of time. This will make it expensive for you. You should also attach hair extensions according to your hair type. If your hair is very light, do not use too many extensions as these will break your natural hair if they are too heavy for it.

Cleaning Virgin Brazilian Hair Extensions
If you have virgin Brazilian hair extensions, you need to clean your scalp and the extensions as well. If you have an oily scalp, it is best to use powder shampoo because it is able to absorb the oil as well as clean your scalp and extensions. You can wash your hair weekly with a mild shampoo starting with the scalp down to the hair edges. Work slowly so that you do not tangle the hair extensions anymore than you have to.

After washing use a light conditioner to keep the hair extensions smooth and silky. It is best to do a deep conditioning at least once a month. However, if your hair or the extensions have been colored or are dry then do a deep conditioning treatment every two weeks so that the extensions are smooth and silky. If they dry out too much then they will break much easier and this can also damage your own hair.

Ensure that you rinse out the shampoo and conditioner thoroughly so that there is no product build-up which will negatively impact your scalp. Dry your hair using a thick towel. Do not rub but rather pat dry. If you have to use a dryer, do so when you absolutely have to as frequent heat will destroy virgin Brazilian hair extensions. Use a wide toothed comb or a weave brush to carefully comb and style your hair extensions. Work slowly from section to section to avoid tugging or pulling which may lead to breakage. If the extensions or your scalp is dry, apply a light oil or moisturize your scalp as you comb it out.
