What is a Lace Front Wig?

Posted on 20 April 2015 by Wigs Online

Lace Front Wigs.

Lace 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.

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.

The Difference between a Wig and A Toupee

Posted on 13 April 2015 by Wigs Online

What is a Wig? What is a Toupee?

The use of a wig or a toupee are very different. A wig is a to cover the full head entirely whether the wearer has hair or not. A wig can be taken off easily and doesn’t need any special glues to hold it in place. The wig is elasticised and will hold firmly on the wearer comfortably.

A toupee is used to cover a bald spot on the wearer’s head. A special adhesive is applied to hold the toupee in place. It is usually for males and not so much for females. A good toupee needs to be fitted by a specialist to integrate the toupee with the wearer’s own hair. Usually the wearer will need to go back to the stylist to have it removed as well. If you don’t want to apply the toupee with glue, it can be attached with clips but it may not be as secure as if the adhesive is used.

Caring for a wig or a toupee will require special shampoo and conditioner formulated for wigs and toupees. The only difference would be that you can take your wig off and wash it in a basin and a Toupee you would wash while wearing the hairpiece.

Whether you choose a toupee or a wig is a personal preference. Both can look fabulous and give you a boost of confidence of your appearance.

On the right is an image of the inside of a toupee. Toupee’s constructions can vary. The toupees that we have in stock have a monofiliament base and a medical strip around the edge to aid in applying glue or adhesive. As you can see on the mannequin it doesn’t cover the whole head.

Easipart has a New and Bigger Range

Posted on 17 March 2015 by Wigs Online

Easipart Just Gets Better

Easipart is the absolute perfect solution to partial hair loss. When hair loss begins it can be very gradual and a wig may not suit your needs. Hair toppers like the Easipart can also simply be great for those with thinning hair or for clients just wanting some more volume.

We had a meeting with Easihair last week where we were able to see exactly how to put on the hairpiece. It was so undetectable that we didn’t even realise that the Model already had the hair piece in. It was so amazing and it sent us all into a spin. Everyone wanted one.

The two new latest additions to the range are the new length 18″ as they were only available in 12″ up till now. And the other big news is the XL Base which is like a pear shape. The original base was 5″ x 2.75″ which is still available but the XL is 5.75″ x 5″. For women experiencing hair loss this is great news. The base is still of the same incredible quality fine monofiliament with a PU Coated rim just comes in two sizes now. All of these pieces are available in Remy Human hair and Heat Defiant Synthetic Hair.

Depending on your hair loss there are other solutions available. Call us or email us if you need any further advice. Also have a look at the other Hair Additions and Hair Extensions ranges we have.

Check out the Easipart Video put together by Easihair to see how easy it is to apply and how seamless the piece looks. It is virtually undetectable. No one will be able to see you are wearing a hair piece.

The full range will be available from the 1st April. If you are looking to purchase any of the pieces that we don’t have in stock call us on 1300 79 75 79 or email us at sales@wigsonline.com.au. We are always happy to specially order a piece in for you at no extra cost.

Hair pieces for Calisthenics Clubs

Posted on 3 March 2015 by Wigs Online

There is a large number of Calisthenics Clubs in Australia. Calisthenics is an artistic sport that involves Dance, gymnastics, singing, apparatus manipulation and ballet, and performance in theatres. It is quite unique to Australia. Many teams these days buy hairpieces so the team can all look similar to enhance their performance on stage. It makes life so much easier than having to style everyone’s hair the same.

Most Calisthenics clubs are run by voluntary individuals who give up their time to organise dance concerts, make up, hair and competitions. We offer a wholesale program for all clubs who order at least 10 pieces at a time. We try to make it as easy as possible from all involved. We just need you to call us on 1300 79 75 79 to organise your order. The order can be sent out via mail as soon as we have it all in stock. Most colours and styles we carry quite a large stock and we can dispatch as soon as payment is made. However, some unusual colours may require for us to order in specially. We suggest that you order at least 3 weeks before you need the pieces just to make sure you receive them in time.

We have colour rings that the Clubs can buy so they can match up the colour to the students each year. If it is not practical then we can colour match if the club is prepared to give us small samples.

We have a large colour of hair pieces ranging from short and curly to long and straight. these are some of our popular hair pieces amongst the clubs:

Aisha Delta

Angel hair Betsy

Nikita Phoebe

Easipart by Jon Renau

Posted on 17 February 2015 by Wigs Online

easipart3 Easipart is a great option for those clients experiencing partial Hair Loss. It will add volume to your hair in the crown area and fall with your own hair instantly. They have discreet toupee clips that will hold the hair piece securely in place for the busiest of days.

We love the Easipart range as you do not need costly hairdresser appointments to wear your hair piece. Its simple and easy to apply and very quickly done. The Easiparts come in Human hair and Heat Defiant Synthetic hair. Keep in mind if you need to colour the hair piece then you need to buy the Human Hair Easipart.

The base is made of a monofiliament fibre. Monofiliament is a sheer mesh that allows the hair piece to be styled multi directional. In both fibres the base is 5′ x 2.75′ and weighs 1.03 oz. It has the perfect density of hair that is not too much that looks fake and enough to give you a beautiful look.

Next month in March, the Easipart range is going to be extended with longer lengths available. Easihair is introducing 18′ lengths. At the moment the Easipart comes in 12′ lengths in both the Human hair and Synthetic Hair.

At the moment we carry a small range of these pieces but we are able to order in any of the other colours and lengths available. Any special orders may take up to 2 weeks to be in stock and are ordered at no extra charge. All you need do to is call Wigs Online on 1300797579 and we can place the order for you over the phone.
