silk base closure vs hd closure

May 15, 2015 in best human hair extensions for black hair

I would love to wear my natural hair but I don’t have enough hair to create a decent style.

The closure is unprocessed I knew this after washing the closure it will wave back up to it’s original form.

The closure lays down flat and natural as well.

I used my closure to construct a wig. It blended perfectly although the bundles were Peruvian body wave.
The closure was nice, and full, not overly thick so no plucking is necessary in my opinion. Bleach took easily to this hair (for the knots) so I do believe it is 100% human hair and virgin color. The closure is constructed well, with reinforced edges for sewing down and there are single knots towards the front with double knots throughout. This helps give it a more lighter effect towards the hairline and more natural too.

Instead of purchasing real human hair wigs, some of our customers prefer lace closure or silk top closure with hair wefts. Today the editor wanna to help our fans to know the difference between lace closure and silk top closure.

As shown in the above 2 pictures, the left one is 4×4 lace closure, the right one is 4×4 silk top closure. With silk top, it cost more, but the hair looks more natural when you parting it.

May 5, 2015 in best human hair extensions for black hair

Because human hair lace wigs are most times too expensive for the younger population who just started working or are still in college.

The Classic lace wigs Brazilian Human Hair HD lace closure 4×4 straight rivals the hair from the high-end hair stores!!

If you are on the fence, I would say go for it.

First of all,the knots are small so there is no need to bleach the knots

all you have to do is add some tinted lace spray for the hd lace to give that scalp effect.

Straight hair is unprocessed, the natural color is a beautiful black shade with natural shine into it.

Normally,it is a little on the thin side, because it helps create a more natural look.

Also easily manageable, low tangles, and little to no shedding.

The Brazilian straight hair keeps its elasticity, softness, shine, and volume.

just follow the instructions given by the company on what is best for the hair,

The bundles will last 6 months to a year.

The wefts are very well made because they didn’t fall apart even after washing glue out of them multiple times.

and how flexible the wefts are,because it makes sewing much easier and it lays flatter.

it curls pretty easy with the flexi rods.

Overall the hd lace closure 4×4 straight with bundles has maintained a great standard, low maintenance.

All hair comes individually wrapped,we can also custom made lace closure and hair wefts as your request.

is it possible to sew in a wig?

Of coarse,but salt water is terrible for weaves,

Once you go hack from the beach wash the hair and pit conditioner in it (left it on for about 15 minutes),

I suggest use good quality shampoo and conditioner though.

And it’s better use a heat protectant type of leave-in when blow brushing.

On the red carpet at the 2017 Emmy Awards, Issa Rae told reporters, “I’m rooting for everybody black.”

The quote went viral and appeared on T-shirts and in the song “Sue Me” by the rapper Wale.

She is my biggest fan.

Rae first broke the happy news on Instagram,

sharing that she married Diame in a stunning ceremony in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, France, after years of dating.

I‘ll bless her for this the longest day I live.

Issa Rae natural hairstyles

I like Issa Rae natural hairstyles,especially her wedding hairstyle.

The bridal hairstyle doesn’t have to be boring, stuffy, or traditional.

Instead, they can be trendy, chic, and fresh!

From long, loose waves to pixie cuts and braids.

Pair the style with an equally romantic bridal gown.

Most look best with thick hair,

so be sure to clip in hair extensions and start taking hair vitamins

to get your mane in perfect condition for your wedding day.

There are so many braided hairstyles out there,you’re bound to find one you love.

If you don’t have ultra-long hair,

Using just pieces from the top section of your hair,

create two simple three-strand plaits starting from your temples.

Braid it towards the back of your head, then secure them with a pretty floral clip.

Leave the rest of your hair loose in soft waves; this will make it look thicker.

If you have a birthday party coming up and you can definitely going to try this!

The ponytail is one of the most versatile hairstyles out there.

For an ultra-flattering look, be sure to create lots of volume at the crown of your head.

Use hair extensions to give the ponytail extra thickness, 

and cover any hair elastics or pins by wrapping a piece of hair around it.

The bonus of a ponytail is that there’s no hair to hide or distract from your make-up,

and you can show off a pair of gorgeous statement earrings too.

What is single sided tape extensions?

The single-sided method refers to the type of tape with adhesive only one side.

You still have to seal the bond,

as in you still complete the sandwich but instead of using two wefts you use one weft and one piece of tape.

The reason why thin-haired women may appreciate this method is that it cuts the weight of the extension bond.

If hair is damaged the additional weight of new extensions,

over time can cause breakage,

if you eliminate a weft you have a healthier installation over time.

Can you wash your hair after getting tape in extensions?

You just can’t do deep conditioning or anything that may deteriorate the adhesive of the tape.

Regular wash and conditioning is fine,

you just have to make sure you’re using products that are noted as safe for use on extensions.

But only use conditioner on ends and not near tape.

and then when you are caring for them just make sure not to put any conditioner or oil

on the bonds because that will cause them to slip.

Best way to sleep with tape in hair extensions

The weight of the extensions should help smooth out the root at the application site,

so it won’t bunch up all wild if that’s what you’re worried about,

but it May require a shower to fix if you sleep on it in a funny way.

That being said it is recommended that when sleeping in extensions,

you put it in a loose ponytail or braid to avoid matting and tangling while you sleep.

Are tape in extensions noticeable?

Your own hair covers the tape extensions,

so they are 100% invisible!

You hair grows out with the tape extensions,

and then your own hair covers it.

These are applied inside of hair,

not on the outside, so you cannot see anything at all!

What you can use to remove your Tape in hair extensions?

91% alcohol in a spray bottle. Slips right out.

Then, hit your hair with any conditioner and comb out any left behind adhesive.

If you’re worried that Alcohol will damage your hair and dry it out!

no it won’t if you follow up with an oil based conditioner to replenish your hair.

Don’t use a straightener.

Just think of what happens if you put heat on tape.

It would be a mess to take out.

The issue is poor care for our natural hair.

there’s nothing wrong with getting a hair weave as long as it’s a protective style growing up.

nylon thread

4. My next tip would be to avoid cotton thread and use nylon thread.

cotton thread is a big no-no because it draws moisture out of your hair,

it also takes advantage of weak points within the braids

and actually can cause breakage on your hair as well,

make sure that the thread that you use in is nylon rather than cotton.

that’s the main point without damaging your natural hair.

feedback from one of my clients:

“My hair keeps falling out due to sew-ins, and now its super short,

 and i already barely have enough hair as it is, i don’t wanna go bald,

so I’m trying to find a way to just slap on my wig with a wig cap without having to sew it in”.

5×5 hd lace front wig straight

please STOP with the weaves!! Buy wigs instead and take it off at night, wash your hair often,

or at least start washing hair properly.

It is the mildew and build up, and constant tugging that is causing the hair loss.

Mildew will grow in any warm dark place.

The sweat, and water and even if you think you are drying properly you are not.

Hair should be washed at least once a week.

Use a tea tree oil solution this will wash the hair,

and at the same time its an antifungal and it will stop the mildew from forming.

You can also use a couple drops of oregano oil in water use that as a solution,

or even clove bud oil.

All of these will help….this should be done WITH shampooing properly.

there is no such thing and over washing your hair ladies.
