Hair Fashion Hair Trends for 2015

Posted on by Wigs Online

Just because you wear wigs doesn’t mean you can’t be fashionable. As some of the trends mentioned by  Harpers Bazaar, Elle, Vogue and many other Fashion Experts, we have matched up with some wigs and hair pieces that will keep you up with the current fashion trends.  Here is a few examples:

Boho Beach Waves

The Boho Beach waves are gentle long waves just like our Picture Perfect and Katherine.  They are so romantic and soft looking around your face that everyone is going to feel very feminine with any of these wigs.

Long Pony Tails

The long sleek ponytail is being showcased by many celebrities at many functions.  It is so simple and elegant that anyone can wear them. They often say less is best and the sleek pony tail is definitely that.  We have the Shelly in Human hair and the HP-ES is in synthetic hair.  Both come in an array of colours and will look great at your next event.

Buns

Buns come in many shapes and sizes from hair wraps, scrunchies to formal buns.  Buns are not so easy to do yourself but a clip in bun takes all the hassle out of styling your own hair. The Grace Bun and the Delightful Bubble can be placed over your own hair and are attached with clips.  The Mimic is a scrunchie that is so easy to attach and looks fantastic.  It’s a must to put in your suitcase when travelling and want something to throw your hair up to dinner.  It’s definitely the no fuss hair style that everyone can achieve.  These options are all synthetic hair that you do not need to style at all as it is all done for you.

Bombshell Hollywood Styles

The full blown Hollywood style is definitely that glamorous long hair that looks like you just walked off the stage.  The long synthetic hair wigs section has this covered in many styles and colours.  The Sugar Rush, Amber and Ava are just a few to mention that are some of our favourites.These examples are all synthetic but there are certainly some Human hair options if you are happy to spend a little more.

We finally have our showroom fully operational and hope our clients will enjoy the space to choose their next wig. Our Showroom is at Unit 5A /34  Redland Drive Vermont which is a quiet Office area away front the hustle and bustle of the Shopping Centres.

It can be a very stressful and indecisive time when trying on wigs. We have tried to make the showroom a nice area where everyone feels welcome. We have a curtained off area so no one needs to feel like they have taken their wig off in the middle of the shopping centre.  We ask that our clients call us ahead of time to make an appointment so we can make sure that we can have a sales assistant available to give you the time you need.

We are happy for you to try on the wigs and have a chat about any other information you may need.  If you are looking for something specific we can always order it in for you at no extra cost.  Give us a call and we can help you with your next wig purchase.  It’s always a good idea to have a look through our website so you have an idea of what you like and don’t like.

You can call us on  1300 79 75 79 or email us at sales@wigsonline.com.au.

Should I wear a Wig Liner?

Posted on by Wigs Online

Wearing a wig can take a little getting used to and first time wearers need to work out the best products to suit their needs.  There is no right or wrong way to wear your wig, everyone is different and everyone’s preferences are also different.

Many clients don’t wear anything between the wig and their scalp while others will wear Wig Caps or Wig Liners.  Here are a couple products that may help you be more comfortable in wearing your wig.

Wig Caps

Wig Caps come in Nylon or Fish Net options.  As with everything neither is better than the other, it just depends what you feel is more comfortable.  Some prefer the Nylon Wig Cap as it creates a barrier between the wig for their scalp especially if the scalp is sensitive.  Others find the Nylon Wig Cap is too hot and doesn’t breathe so they prefer the Fish Net wig caps.

Wig Liners

We also have an alternative product, Headline It Wig Liners by Jon Renau.  They are a fantastic product that will help in making your wig more comfortable.  It is a discreet liner for wigs that evaporates the sweat so you don’t have sweat pouring down to your eyes.  It will keep you cooler in summer and warmer in Winter.  It is designed to pull sweat to the top layer and then evaporate continuously. The back layer traps oil, salt and doors to keep your wig cleaner and more comfortable.

The Headline It Liner Benefits:

Keeps you feeling drier
Reduces odour and bacteria
Allows air to ventilate
Less washing of your wig is required
The tan colour camouflages to be worn discreetly under your wig or headwear.

The average use of a Headline It is one week.  They are disposable and one size fits all.  Each pack consists of 10 liners individually packed so you can keep one in your bag.

JRHeadliner_1 JRHeadliner_8

 

 

Headliner_11

As you can see they are very easy to put in.  Simply remove the strip and adhere to the front of your headwear or wig. You can wear it continuously on average for one week before you need to discard it.

Jon Renau Spring Collection 2015

Posted on by Wigs Online

We live on the other side of the world so it may seem strange that we are talking about Spring 2015.  With Jon Renau it doesn’t matter.  They have just released the Spring Collection which we have started to add to our website.  They have put together 7 new styles and there promises to be something for everyone.  I thought It was time to give you a run down on the new styles:

SCARLETT

1scarlett_12FS8_MainScarlett will be on our website in the next week or so.  It is a lovely beachy waves Style Wig.  It features a Smartlace Front Premium Synthetic Hair.  The Smartlace gives you an undetectable hairline at the front and the wefted back keeps you feeling cool.  This style is very fashionable for this season and we will be seeing more of this to come this season.

ROBIN

2          Chelsea_1426S10_Alt2Robin is the only petite new style.  The quality monofiliament base gives you a very natural looking wig with beautiful elegant layers. The hair from the top just looks like it is coming straight out of your own scalp.

KATHERINE

Katherine_6F27_Alt3

 3We just love the  Katherine wig.  It’s another fantastic style to the Smart Lace Front collection. The natural looking hairline just gives you a realistic look.  The quality is just unsurpassable and we are sure this will be one of everyone’s favourite.

 

JODIE

Jodie_633_Alt44Jodie is like no other we have seen before in the Jon Renau Collection.  For those ladies who want something a little longer but not shoulder length, then Jodie is your wig. She is elegant with her soft framing layers.  The Smartlace with a mono top gives it a natural look.  She is also very versatile.  If you comb her down rather than flicking her out, you can achieve a whole new look.

CHELSEA

5Robin_42730_Alt2Chelsea is the only new addition to the O’solite  range.  They are always comfortable to wear and very popular because of that reason.  With a few brush strokes you can style her a little different to give your own personal touch to it.

 

TOP CROWN

6  Top-Crown_633_Alt2We don’t have this listed on our website currently but you can contact us via phone to place an order.  Special orders are taken at no extra charge and will take 7 – 10 days to arrive.  Just like all of Jon Renau toppers, the Top Crown is undetectable and will blend seamlessly with short waves.The mono top means that you can style the hair any direction you like.  A mono top base is a fine luxurious base.

 

KARLIE

7Karlie is a simple and elegant style. Karlie displays all the best Karlie_1426S10Alt2features Jon Renau can give.  It has the Smartlace Front technology with a monofilaiment top and is hand tied. The simple style is so versatile and you can decide which side you are going to put the part in.

Karlie will debut on our website at the end of May.  You can place an order with us at no extra cost and delivery will take 7 – 10 days.

What is a Lace Front Wig?

Posted on by Wigs Online

Lace Front Wigs.

Fiery_5Lace front Wigs are very popular.  The hairline has a look of natural hair growth along the front hair line.  With a lace front hair wig you can pull the hair away from the face as it looks very realistic.  The front of the wig has a fine sheer mesh which the hair is individually tied to.  Being hand tied the hair is usually multi directional so you can style it whichever way you choose.  Most hand tied Lace Front wigs are ready to wear.  Wigs Online carries a few human hair as well as synthetic hair wigs.  A lace front wig will be more expensive as the labour costs involved in making a lace front is a lot higher than a fully wefted wig.  On a Lace from the hair is individually tied so this is very labour intensive.

The lace front can be glued down with adhesive or not depending on your preference.  If you want to remove the wig each night we would recommend using something like It Stays Body adhesive which is easily removed with just water. Alternatively you can use Hairpiece adhesive and the Remover.  We would only suggest this if you were happy to wear your wig all day and night.  And to remove every 5 -7 days.

You must always be careful with the lace as it is very delicate but the realistic look of a lace front is worth the time and effort.  If the lace is a good colour match to your skin tone it should be invisible.  When you apply your make up, you can cover the lace front with your make up to give you a flawless finish.

Ava_wigcap

Wigs Online has a great range of Lace Front wigs and you can always call us for any advice you need in choosing the right one for you.

Should I buy Remy Hair?

Posted on by Wigs Online

DSCN0911 copy

Remy Hair Extensions are becoming more popular by movie stars, model and the fashion conscious person alike. Its not always easy to know if what you buying is exactly what it claims to be.  Remy hair  and virgin hair are labels that manufacturers use all the time and some use it quite loosely.  So how do you know what you are getting?

The label of the hair is based on the characteristics of the hair and the method use to manufacture the hair.  Most Remy hair is sourced  from Asia, in particularly India.  Some is sourced from Brazil and Russia as well.  When collected most Remy is black, so it goes through a process to clean and sterilize the hair  to make it safe for the wearer.  Most hair is dyed into other colours to give a full spectrum of colours available.

Once the hair is collected, the manufacturer cuts and shapes the hair to be ready to manufacture into wigs and hair extensions.  The texture can be changed to wavy or straight as desired. The hair is crafted to make sure the cuticles of the hair ( outer layer) all face the same direction which keeps it real looking and helps it from tangling.  This gives the hair a silky smooth feel as well as keeping the natural shine of the hair.

Remy hair is more expensive the regular human hair.  It is not always easy to tell just by looking at the hair.  Some will be labelled as Virgin and remy hair.  Virgin hair is usually black and unprocessed hair.

If the price seems really low then it probably is not Remy hair.  Remy takes a lot more work to manufacture and is more expensive.  To start with the hair may look great but if it starts to tangle or matt then it probably wasn’t Remy hair to start with.

Remy Hair extensions should last anything from 3 months to 6 months with regular care and maintenance.

Is it worth the extra expensive?  Well that is a personal preference and some A Grade Human hair is an excellent quality. We do stock some wefts that are not remy but they are an A grade quality which we never have problems with. As a consumer you want to know that what you are buying is exactly what it claims to be.  You don’t want to be paying the price of Remy hair if it is not Remy. Always buy your hair products from a reliable and reputable  source.  Reputable companies are those who will stand by their product.  Always buy from a company who you can converse with over the phone and have a generous returns policy.  It is also best to buy from a local supplier so if you have problems you are not going to spend a fortune returning it to an overseas company.  All these things need to be taken into account.

 

Wigs Online prides themselves as an Australian Based Company with Australian staff and a very generous returns policy.  We have a phone number where you can speak with an Australian operator.  We take pride in offering great and reliable service.

Hair Loss while undergoing Chemotherapy

Posted on by Wigs Online

Hair Loss can occur for so many reasons. It could be stress, illness, hormonal changes, pregnancy, medication or many other reasons. Sometimes Hair loss will occur just on the scalp or it may occur all over the body. Hair Loss on our scalp and our eyebrows would probably be the most concerning areas for many people.

Wigs, hairpieces, false eyebrows or eyelashes are all very useful depending on the purpose you need it and how much hair loss you are experiencing. If you are starting chemotherapy, here is a few tips to consider:

– Do some research to find out what type of wig you think you may like. Some people prefer to stay as close to their hair style as possible, while others like to try new styles.

-Have the wig ready before you loose your hair so you can chose the wig without the stress that you need one immediately. Also, it gives you time to have a play with your wig and get used to the idea of wearing a wig.

– Once you start Chemotherapy you may feel very ill and choosing a wig might be the last thing you feel like doing.

-Browse the internet for wigs and styles that you may like. It takes time to decide which wig that you think may suit you.

– Have a chat to your hairdresser to see if he /she would be able to help you customize your wig. For example, to cut a few layers or shape a fringe to your liking.

– Ask a close friend to have a look at a few different wigs with you. Sometimes your close friends can point out something that you haven’t thought of and help boost your confidence.

– Buy the best quality wig that you can afford. Cheap nasty wigs are not going to help you feel good. Sometimes it better to choose a good synthetic rather than a cheap human hair wig.

– Consider a synthetic wig as they are easier to care for and they keep their shape after washing. Very little styling is required for a synthetic hair wig. Human hair wigs are luxurious but they do require more styling.

– When you are undergoing chemotherapy your scalp can become sensitive. Buy a wig cap to put a barrier between your scalp and wig.

– Use good Salon quality shampoo and conditioner to take care of your wig and wash it regularly.

– Find out from your health fund or if there are any government assistance funds that can help with covering the cost of your wig.

– If you lose hair on your eyebrows consider false eyebrows, they are not that expensive and they will make you feel like you. Our Eyebrows gives our face definition. We are so used to seeing our eyebrows in the mirror that we feel very odd without them.

– As well as False Eyebrows there are some very simple to use false eyelashes that can help as well if you feel the need for them.

– Remember we are all different and what feels right for one person may not be for someone else. Do what makes you feel good. And don’t forget to ask for help – true friends and family never mind giving a helping hand.
