Hair Replacement and Human Hair
We hear it more and more often that the
quality of the hair in the hair systems just isn't what it used to
be. The answer is simple--supply and demand. The demand for human
hair in the
hair replacement industry started to really
increase in the 1980's and has been taken over by the hair extension industry in the late
90's to the present. It's sort of like the oil situation we're all
experiencing. When the demand goes up and the supply goes down the
costs sky rocket for the best quality hair available. In
the
hair replacement industry
the wholesaler finds himself in a tough spot, do I increase my cost
of goods for better quality and raise my prices or do I keep my
prices where they are and take a lesser quality or do I take a
lesser quality and raise my prices like everyone else? Any of the
above 3 may happen. If your hair system is loosing hair quickly,
tangling into a nest or drying out and becoming un-Styleable you
aren't alone.Here's what is going on. The old supplies of top quality human hair have been depleted for many years. We saw an influx of hair during and after the ethnic wars of Eastern Europe. (Yes, much of the hair supplied to the hair replacement industry does come from war torn areas and in most cases the hair is taken from the deceased or imprisoned to be sold to hair vendors.) The majority of the hair used in hair replacement production comes from India and China. In India the hair is gathered from the temples where it is removed from the head for religious reasons and in China the hair is easily harvested in regions where girls grow their hair long and have it cut to sell. With the increase in western influence in the world more and more women now cut and chemically process their hair and don't rely on selling their tresses to help contribute to the family economy. All these little changes will cause the decrease in human hair availability as the years go by.
The good news is that some very smart hair replacement manufacturers started several years ago experimenting with new high tech synthetic fibers. The new synthetics that are in competition with human hair are primarily Nylon or Polyester fibers that have been developed to imitate human hair as closely as possible by having more light reflection due to artificial cuticle and a diameter that more closely resembles "European" human hair. While it isn't for everyone yet-it is fast becoming the favored blend with the existing human hair for hair replacements. The synthetic fibers are stronger and have better color retention and will effectively buffer the poorer quality human hair it is blended with giving the hair wearer better style retention, color retention and less hair loss in their hair replacements.
If you're experiencing less wear out of your hair replacement system, you may want to consider adding some of this High Tech fiber to your next system and get used to this new trend, after all it may be inevitable if we continue to use up the human hair sources at the rate we are currently going.
Hair Replacements: Lace VS. Skin Fronts for the best appearance
The never ending question is: "What will give
me the most natural looking hair line, skin or lace?"The answer is: BOTH! It seems to be more a matter of personal choice than anything and based on what you're currently wearing and used to.
Skin front hair replacements when made correctly will give you super appearance. The skin front edge MUST fit your forehead perfectly, lay flat and should disappear into your skin. The hair should either be looped or ventilated with very small single hair knots. The idea is that the hair should appear to be growing from your scalp. An other tip is to be sure that your front hair line be slightly irregular with either a pre-scalloped front edge or you can trim the edge using an uneven cut line. The reason for the scallop or uneven line is break up a straight line in the front. The human eye is immediately drawn to a straight line and when you break that up by using scallops or a slightly uneven line it eliminates the straight line effect and the eye is not drawn to your hair line which you definitely don't want. That being said we would be remiss to not mention the down side to the thin skin front. First it is important to understand that it is virtually impossible to have thin, fine and delicately undetectable along with durability and longevity in a hair replacement system. The thin skin front will not hold up over the long run and you can expect to replace your system anywhere from 3 to 6 months depending on the thickness and your daily care of your system. Also remember that a looped front edge will loose hair much like the hair naturally sheds from the head and looped hair does not have the additional help of a knot to keep it secure.
Lace front hair replacements also must fit correctly for the best result and we also recommend an uneven cut on the lace edge. While the lace will disappear on the skin any straight line will be detectable. If ventilated correctly the knots in a lace front hair replacement should be very small, very tight and even in dark colors should appear as though they sprout from the scalp. A good quality lace front will be ventilated (knotted) using a random vent system. Remember the uneven line in the front; it goes for ventilation as well as the cut line. Now here's the scoop on bleached knots; anytime you bleach hair you weaken the hair. Bleached front knots will break more quickly and that is a given! As far longevity, lace can really be a better bet if you're looking to get a little more time out of your unit. While lace will breakdown and fray over time, you can always cut away the fraying edge to get a little more time and if you do the right thing when removing your hair replacement you'll cut down on hair loss and fraying at the same time. ALWAYS us an adhesive solvent when removing or changing tape or adhesive and this goes for skin as well as lace. When you remove your hair replacement by pulling the system off your head you run the risk of removing hair at the same time.
Whether you choose a lace or thin skin front on your hair replacement just remember these few tips; irregular front hair line and proper removal will help keep your front hair line looking natural and will help to ensure your system will hold up for the wearing period of your hair replacement system.
