Lace Wig Maintenance & Repair: Is it worth it?
Spending a lot of money of a product for beauty is one thing, but purchasing maintenance and making the long term investment for repair is another. The fact that lace wigs have such a delicate base leaves many women wondering is the cost of the lace wig even worth it over alternatives such as weaves and extensions. Before you purchase your lace wig, know the facts and what will be required of your new investment.
At Home Care
Lace wigs will require some at home care. While wearing your lace wig, you should be careful not to pull at the hairline in any way unless you are performing normal brushing. Overtime, this will lessen the bond that the lace wig adhesive has and will require reapplication sooner than needed.
Removing and applying the lace wig is a full process that can be done at home or by a professional. Many women choose to do this at home as professionals typically charge an arm and a leg for these services. If you do choose to remove and install your own lace wig, there are few things to remember.
Educating yourself in the right techniques are always important. The internet has a wealth of resources. The same companies that you purchase your lace wig from also have videos or booklets for purchase outlining the steps. For free resources, try e-zine, youtube and other advice sites.
You will always need to have certain products handy for your lace wig. Wig sheen and spray, solvent, adhesive, sensitive skin shampoo or lace wig shampoo are just a few. Another investment you will need to make is time. It is easy to apply and remove a lace wig but if you do not have the time to do so, do not rush. A rushed lace wig application can end up with damaged hair, torn lace, and a unnatural appearance.
Repair
You can repair your lace wig at home or with a professional. Most professional lace wig repairs are similar to car maintenance; just because you take your car to the dealer does not mean it is broken. A lace wig repair can entail many things other than an actual repair. If you do not have an actual tear or rip in the lace, think of it as a tune up.
Many professional lace wig repair sessions include glue removal, lace wig shampooing, conditioning and knot sealant. Repair issues can include density repairs, hair color correction, hooded dryer and styling, texturing and ventilation. These are not as much repair issues as restoration. If you do have an actual need for a repair, many of these services are included in the repair itself.
Is It Worth It?
Even though all of these expenses including the lace wig itself is costly, the lace wig in many ways can pay off overtime. Unlike a traditional wig that gets ratty very quickly and looks unnatural, a lace wig can be worn for years if cared for properly and always looks real. Many women like to change their look every once in a while.
A human lace wig can adapt to these changes by simply coloring the hair, restyling, or giving it a funky cut. Hair can always be added into the lace or thinned out if you would like to match the lace wig for an age appropriate style.
It is hard to find many items today that are worth an investment. A lace wig might be costly on the front end, but will provide you with a lifetime worth of style and feeling confident that you look amazing.
