Hair Extensions

Posted on by Wigs Online

There are many different hair extensions and how you attach them.

Most hair extensions are sold in packs of 100 grams unless specified differently. There are Clip ins, Fusion Hair Extensions, Tape Hair Extensions,  Clip In Hair Extensions or wefts.  Depending on how often you would like to wear them and how you would like to attach them, different hair extensions will suit your needs.

Clip In Hair Extensions

Clip In Hair Extensions are sold in packs of 100 grams.  Some are a one piece set and others have a 10 piece set with varying sizes.

The 10 Piece pack may seem hard work to placing 10 different pieces separately in your hair.  However, you don’t need to place them all in at once.  Some wearers prefer to place more on the sides and others may only want them at the back of the hair. You could just add volume to the areas you need. So this is a very flexible pack.  PRCI_1622webRCPB_613

Some may find the one piece clip in Hair Extension  much easier as they don’t need to worry about placing the hair in areas.

Fusion Hair Extensions

These are  100% Remy Fusion Pre Bonded Human Hair. They come in small packs of 20 or larger packs of 105 Tips. This hair comes with glue at the tips so it is easy to apply. Simply melt the glue and attach to your own hair. A new hairstyle can be created in no time at all. They measure 18 Inches / 457mm in Length.

Wefts

Wefts are probably the most versatile.  It is one big long hair extension with no clips.  You can attach these in a few different ways.  You can sew them in or glue them in or you could add clips to the weft and then clip them in.  Being one long piece you can cut the weft to whichever length you require. You can double the weft to make it thicker depending on the volume you require.

Julianne Vs Scarlett

 

scarlett_12FS8_MainJulianne1

Julianne and Scarlett all have one thing in common, they are both made by Jon Renau.  They have different features which allows for a similar style to be matched to two different budgets.  The quality of the hair is exactly the same but the cap is very different.

Scarlett is a great alternative for those who can’t afford the Julianne.  New to the Jon Renau Collection,  Scarlett offers you on trend shoulder length perfect beach wave style. The Smartlace front which mimics a natural hairline allows you to style the hair away from your face with confidence for added versatility. Along with the smartlace front Scarlett’s cap construction offers an open wefted back for superior ventilation allowing the scalp to stay cool.

Julianne is a  beautiful wavy mid-length bob that looks incredibly natural. You will love the sexy loose and effortless beach waves and casual chic of this wig. The length is slightly shorter in the back than in the front. The 100% Hand tied cap is what makes the biggest difference to the Scarlett. The 100% hand-tied stretch cap is completely hand-knotted creating supreme comfort and natural movement. The SmartLace front creates a natural looking hairline that allows for styling hair off the face. The monofilament top gives you the option of multi directional styling and looks like natural hair growth. You can part the hair on either side or the middle. This ready to wear synthetic hair looks and feels just like natural hair.

Below you can see visually what a wefted back wig and what a fully hand tied wig looks like. They are quite different and depending on your needs you can decide which one will suit you best.  Some clients feel that the wefted backs are cooler in Summer but others just love the softness of the hand tied cap against their scalp.

Misconceptions about Wigs

Posted on by Wigs Online

Zara_Side_FS26313-Cameron-14-26S10_Alt21-Mariska-FS26-31_Side3Rosie_6-33_SideFY_ParisBob1EW_Date4EW_Play2EW_Flip1

Wigs can be a mystery to many. Many people don’t know much about wigs has they haven’t had any exposure to anyone wearing wigs or have worn wigs themselves.  Wigs are becoming more popular as they are easy to wear and look great.  The right wig can make life easy for the client.  Below are some of the misconceptions that we have found:

1. Wigs Look Fake

There will always be some cheap and nasty wigs around.  However, if  you do a little research you will find some really great features of a wig that can make them look very realistic.  A good lace front wig can give you such a realistic hair line.  A mono top wig can help with styling a wig to suits you as you can move the part from left to right or place in the centre.  Choosing the right colour can certainly help with not making a wig look fake.  Obviously a bright purple wig will look fake as its not a natural colour.  As long as your wig fits well and is taken care of properly wigs can look really realistic.

2. Wigs are Hot and Itch

Wigs are designed with in mind of the comfort of the wearer.  Good quality wigs are made up with good fabrics and materials. Many mono top wigs are really soft and comfortable for the wearer.

3. Wigs can fall off Easily

Wigs have adjustments along the nape to help making the wig to fit firmly and comfortable.  You should always change the adjustments to suit yourself.  Please note that a wig adjusted too tight can actually push the wig upwards and will feel like its coming off.  If you take a little time to try a couple adjustments you will find the right measurement for you.

4. Wigs are too Costly

There are so many wig styles to suit many budgets without compromising the quality of the wig. Synthetic Wigs start as low as $100  and can be as high as $700 for a premium quality wig.  The inside cap and the hair quality is where you will see the differences between the budgets.

5. Wig slows hair growth

People think that if they wear a wig their existing hair underneath will stop growing.  This is not true at all. Wigs sit over the top of your existing hair and place no strain on your hair.  Hair Extensions and clip ins can pull on your hair and hinder natural growth but not wigs.

6. Wigs don’t have Natural Hair Movement

A good quality wig can have great natural hair movement.  However, this will depend on the quality of the wig.  Some premium brands like Jon Renau, Ellen Wille, Henry Margu, etc: spend a lot of time designing their wigs so they look as real as possible to natural hair.  A wig can have great natural hair movement.

7. Human Hair wigs are better than Synthetic Hair Wigs

Depending on your budget and what you want the wig for, Human Hair may not be the answer for you. Good Synthetic wigs can look and feel better than cheap Human Hair wigs.  Human Hair Wigs do take a lot more care and require styling after each wear.  Some clients prefer to wear synthetic so they don’t need to worry about styling.

8. Only Old people  wear wigs

Clients wear wigs for all sorts of reasons and its not just for the old. Many young people have health conditions that causing hair loss and a wig is a great option for them.  Whatever the reason you need a wig there is many options and you just need to find the right one for you.  Wigs Online has a showroom in Vermont Victoria where we encourage clients to make an appointment so we can help you choose the right wig for you.

Jon Renau New Range Has Just Arrived

Posted on by Wigs Online

Jon Renau bring out a few new great pieces each season and this season  will be no different.  We are always surprised how they come up each season with something new but they do.

The Fall collection for 2015 brings five new fresh looks and captivating chic styles. Jon Renau know how to keep fashion in mind and produce the highest quality wigs. A good wig will not look like a wig.  Here is a quick rundown of each style to come:

Evan_12FS8_Alt4

Evan is a very sassy chic pixie style wig.  It is so elegant with its sweeping fringe.  The smart lace front gives the wearer an undetectable hairline.  The open cap gives volumes to your style and is cool to wear in Summer.

 

 

 

Rosie_6-33_Side

 

Rosie is a gorgeous bob like no other.  With lots of long layers and a sweeping fringe and a mono top to give the wearer a realistic looking crown. It also showcases the lace front that can allow the wearer to pull their hair away from their face.

 

 

Alessandra_14-26S10_Side2

 

 

Alessandra is the longest style in this collection It really is a gorgeous stunning design that will turn heads around.  It has all the features of a quality wig with a mono top and a smart lace front that Jon Renau is renowned for. The layers graduate oozing with style.

Mariska is the Pettite addition to the range.  There is nothing else you can ask for.  Lace front, Mono top and Hand tied are all the best features in a wig.  Hand tied means that there is no wefting in the back of the wig.  As the name suggests each hair is hand tied in to the cap to give you the most realistic look.  When you run your hands through your hair you can see that no one will tell its a wig.  There is no where to see the wefting as there is none. The part can be placed on either side as the mono top allows the hair to flow in all directions. Its a great versatile wig.

Lastly there is Cameron, the latest modern bob style. The layers and length make it a little different from anything else that we have seen before. The elegance of Cameron is a timeless style.  It showcases the very best features like the others: Mono top, Smart Lace front and 100% Hand tied.  As with all mono tops you can place the part on either side or in the middle.  The Smartlace Front gives you a flawless hairline with beautiful layers framing the face.

 

 

 

These great new styles have just arrived and we look forward to extending the range with more colours.

Life gets very busy and looking after a wig can be hard at times.  If you look after a wig properly you should be able to have a wig that looks good and lasts quite a while.  It is so important to care for a wig if it is going to last.

The DO list:

  1.  Wash your wig every 6 – 8 wears.
  2. Always wash your wig in a basin or sink.
  3. Use proper Wig Shampoo and Conditioner quality products.
  4. Always conditioner your wig after shampooing.
  5. Always use a wide tooth comb.
  6. Always brush/comb your hair in sections starting from the bottom so you are not adding extra pressure to the cap of the hair.
  7. Always allow Synthetic Hair wigs to dry naturally.
  8. Always check with the seller/manufacturer if your wig is heat resisitant.
  9. Always leave your wig hanging over a wig stand or something similar to allow good ventilation while drying.

  1. Do not leave your wig for prolonged periods without washing or conditioning.

Wig Review: Charlie by Jon Renau

Posted on by Wigs Online

Wig of the Day: Charlie by Jon Renau

We have a small range of Mens Human Hair and Synthetic Hair Wigs, as well as toupees.

When looking at our range, I often get asked – Why is the Charlie so expensive?

Charlie is a Synthetic Hair Wig that has a Mono top and is Hand Tied.  The mono top gives you the realistic looking crown.  A mono top means that in the crown area the hair is hand tied to a very fine sheer mesh or lace that makes the hair look like its coming directly out of a person’s scalp.  It makes it very difficult for a person to detect that someone is wearing a wig.

The craftsmanship of the Charlie is definitely a much higher quality than the other wigs we stock.  The Cap being stretch hand tied puts it in a class of its own. The stretch is very comfortable to wear and is light enough to wear through Summer.

What is a Topper?

Posted on by Wigs Online

easipart3What is a Topper?

A topper is a hair piece that is the perfect solution for those experiencing hair loss and hair thinning. A topper is integrated with your own hair and if they are put on  properly they will be undetectable.There are a few different types of toppers. The toppers are available in Human hair and Synthetic Hair. Most toppers will have toupee clips that will allow the wearer to snap the hairpiece into place. Some toppers have a honeycomb base that you can pull some of your hair through to integrate with the hair piece.

 

Easipart is a great product as a topper for thinning hair. Its a fine covering of hair that is on a monofiliament base.  The base is very fine and transparent so you can’t see it.  It’s the perfect solution for thinning hair. It has toupee clips around the base of the hairpiece to enable you to add the hairpiece to your head. It is available in Human Hair and Synthetic Heat Defiant hair.  It is also available in two sizes Easipart and Easipart XL.

Pull thru Wiglets are another great option for those with short hair. They are available in Human hair and Synthetic hair. You can pull thru some of the hair to fill the thinning spots on top of the scalp.  The images below shows the honeycomb base that you can see where the hair is pulled through.

hhpullthroughwigletlarge_24b13_mainhhpullthrough_24b13_main

Some toppers have more hair than others, the Top Volume has a lot more hair than the Easipart and this is reflected in the price. It is available in a short version and a long version. It is a beautiful piece and for those suffering with Hair loss it is a really truly undetectable.
