What You Should Know About The Different Texture Of Hair

I have been in the hair business for about ten years now,  so I have been around a lot of hair.   I am a wig designer also known as a wigologist.   When you work with hair,  you get to know the hair textures,  and rather it's good or not.    Being a wig designer or a hair extension specialist is different from someone who is purchasing the wig or extensions.    The buyer will feel the softness of the hair and see the beauty of the hair,  which is how most buyers purchase their extensions or wigs.    There are things they don't consider when purchasing human hair,  human hair mix,  synthetic premium hair, and synthetic hair.   Here are the things you need to consider and know about the hair:

1  Human hair is high maintenance,  and you should care for it just as you do your own hair.  Buyers can establish human hair by burning a small piece,  it should turn into ashes.   Buyers should also consider the upkeep of human hair,  again is the same you would do with your own natural hair.
2   Human hair mix is a great alternative to purchasing human hair,  it is not as high maintenance as human hair.    Buyers should purchase this hair if you don't want to be responsible for a lot of upkeep on the hair.   This type of hair should last up to 6 months with proper care.   You can find this hair in all different texture just as the human hair.
3   Synthetic premium hair is a good choice if you want the least amount of upkeep on your hair,  although synthetic premium hair can last you a while with proper care.   This hair do hold heat well,  and of course you can shampoo and condition this hair.   The care of this hair will help you to wear this hair a little longer,  maybe for a couple of months.    This hair also come in various textures and color.
4   Synthetic hair is a good idea to have if you want even less upkeep,  and you like to change your style,  color and length.   You simply get rid of the hair and purchase other hair and go.   This hair has really no upkeep because it is changed so frequently. 

These are the things you want to consider when purchasing wigs, and extensions.   You want to consider the maintenance of the hair.   When purchasing human hair,  you are investing in something that is going to last,  and the same go for human hair mix.   At Shawzae,  we create wigs from human hair and human hair mix.   We also tell you how to care for the hair,  and we also offer wig care for your hair.   Check out our other hair educational blogs on our website at http://www.shawzaewigs.com

    

HOW TO GROW YOU HAIR BACK FROM TRACK ALOPECIA

Alopecia is a medical terminology that is used for various hair loss.  Hair loss affects millions of people.  Most people are frustrated  because they try so many things and no results.   We are going to talk about bringing your hair back after traction,  but lets first start with the prevention of alopecica traction.   We need to stop braiding our hair so tight,  and stop braiding it in the same direction each time,  avoid pulling the hair back from the edges.   You should also avoid pulling the hair tight to do a ponytail.    These few things will have a big impact on alopecia  tracts.    These types of damage can be treated if it isn't permanent damage.  Treatment can be head massage, proper products, and by styling your hair different and more.  Your natural hair need proteins and air to heal form damages.  If you have these kinds of damages,  stop putting tension on your hair to prevent more damages. You may be wise to wear a custom wig during treatment so that you have easy access to your natural hair.   Be sure to wear extensions for the proper time 4-6 weeks no later than 8 weeks before you take them out.   This is a great time to get natural hair treatment before applying hair extensions.   You should tell the stylist to try a different braid pattern each time to avoid the damages.  It may cost a little more to go through natural hair treatment before applying the extensions,  but it will be worth it at the end.

    

SHAWZAE ON PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE

I am so excited to share this blog with you,  because products knowledge is important to all of us.  There are all kinds of product out there to use,  but how do we determine what will work for some clients and not for others.   Products are the key to success,  it takes the work out of your services so that you can obtain what you want,  without the labor.   There are a few ways that you can determine what products  works for you salon.  You may have heard the old saying,  you can't use the same perm on everyone head,  which is true.   Products are determine by the service you offer,  so if you have the same similar clients,  with the same hair texture, and similar hair issues,  then you probably would not have to purchase too many different products.    However, if you have a mixture of clients then you will have to purchase a lot of different products,  to meet your clients needs.   The way I purchase products is based on products that meets most natural hair textures.    A stylist should know how to care for all hair textures.   When purchasing products,  know what it will do to all textures,  so if you do get a new client,  you can feel comfortable knowing that you got products for that clients as well.   A few years back,  I had a client that walked in for hair services,  and I was taken back because I didn't feel like I had products that were right for her hair texture.   I consulted with the client for what she wanted,  evaluated her hair and texture,  then book her for an appointment for another time so I could get what I needed for her.   She became a regular client,  and that taught me how important product knowledge is for all hair texture.   You just need to know that the products,  or brands that you use can benefit all textures you will be servicing. 

COFFEE TALK ON TAPE HAIR EXTENSIONS

Ladies you will be able to see coffee talk on my YouTube,  if you don't read it here,  see it on YouTube.   Tape ins are one of the services in our salon,  and I personally love them.   I wear them, and actually they are easy for me to take out.  Ladies, lets get started.

I have been trying to get the black ladies to wear tape extensions for a while,  because they offer no damage and just as easy to care for as a sew in.   Tape ins are trending now,  even among the black ladies,  so I felt this was a good time to start the conversation.

Tonya,  I don't think women, mainly black women feel that tape extensions are secured enough for them,   like the sew ins are.

Me,  That is actually correct,  for one thing black ladies put oils into the hair,  because a lot of times, we have dry hair,  and we need to keep some oils in hair to keep it moisturized.   I am told by a lot of my white clients that there hair is oily,  and that is why they  wash their more often is to keep the oils out of their hair.   However,  all ladies can enjoy tape extensions,   If the tape extensions are installed properly and the client follow instructions on the care of the extensions,  they will have no problem.

Nellie,  How can black ladies wear the tape extensions without loosing  them.

Me,  I am glad you asked that question.  All ladies have to prepare their hair for tape extensions or any extensions so that they look natural and flawless.   Once the hair is prepared,  then the tape extensions are installed.  Tape extensions has an adhesive that will connect to the hair,  and there are tools that can press the extensions onto the hair,  and you can also apply a little heat.   Once the extensions are properly installed,  the hair is connected to the tape so it won't come loose.  When you wash and shampoo your hair,  use a sulfate free shampoo and conditioner so that you don't get too much oil into the hair.  Make sure when you use oil sheen and hair spray,  don't use a lot near the connectors which is the tape.  To oil your scalp,  just use your finger tip and put a little oil to the scalp only,  you will not loose the tape extensions.         

Jen,  How long do they last?

Me,   You should have your tape extensions reinstalled every 6 to 8 weeks,  just like a sew in.  Human hair tape extensions will last for years with proper care, and they will be reusable for the life of the hair.  Human hair blend will be reusable for up to 6 months,  which means you will get at least 3 installs out of the hair, and synthetic a lot less time..

COFFEE TALK ( THINNING AND ALOPECIA HAIR )

This conversation isn't new and you may have heard some of the information  before,  but we do want to keep the conversation going to help you stay updated.  We have so many women and men with this problem that we have to keep the conversation going.    Thinning and aloppecia  hair isn't a age thing,  because we have a lot of young women and men with this problem. 

The conversation starts:  These are some of the conversations that I have had with some of my clients and friends,  so lets get the conversation started.

My hair started thinning when I started getting relaxers.........Sarah

The relaxers were probably too strong for your hair, and you should avoid having your hair relaxed until you know for sure if that is the cause of your hair loss.  I would recommend you start going to a natural hair salon so that you can get your hair healthy again,  let whoever you go know what happened, give them your hair story...........me

My hair is fine,  I guess I was born with it,  bad hair,  and it won't grow.......Mindy

When born with fine hair,  it is very important that you take special care of your hair to keep it healthy.  You should not put heavy products in your hair,  or extensions that will weigh your hair down.  If you would like longer hair,  or maybe get hair color,  get a custom wigs,  because this is not going to damage your natural hair., and also make sure you get healthy products for your natural hair.
Your hair thinning may be hereditary  but it can be healthy even if it's thin or fine ........me

My hair was taken out by a stylist,  and it's never been the same after the service....Tina

The stylist probably didst understand your hair,  and the products were probably too strong,  however,  you can get healthy hair again.   When you go to get your hair done make sure you give the stylist your hair story so that she can get a picture of the health of your hair.   A consultation and hair analysis is important......me

Join in the conversation and let talk about hair while we sip our coffee.

HOW TO MOVE FORWARD AFTER COSMETOLOGY SCHOOL

We are so excited when we enter into cosmetology school, and our license ensures that we are on our way to successfully meet our goals, however, this is not the case for many students.   I have met a lot of stylist that are working in different places and other business.  The reason is because a lot of stylist don't know how to do hair,  and the school doesn't teach you that.   The school teaches you the basic which include coloring, cutting,  and curling, and the academic you need to get your license.   In the real world,  you have to know more than the basic to get hired in the upper salons, or even to start your own business and other.    The stylist has to learn to do hair to succeed.  There are two options that a stylist can take to succeed (1 ) Find a salon that will allow you to be an intern so that   you can learn to do hair  (2 )You can take additional courses to learn how to do certain styles that are trending now.  As a stylist,  you may want to learn to braid hair,  or make custom wigs.  As a hair braider,  you may want to learn how to make custom wigs.   You should always put yourself in a position that you can meet today trends,  to meet the consumers demands.   As a license stylist there are so many advantages to succeed, but if you can't do hair then the options are lost.   We offer license and unlicensed student a chance to learn how to do hair.  You will learn to make custom wigs, do sew ins and braid hair at Shawzae  Design School for more information call 954-612-1982 or go to http://mdesignersinc.wixsite.com/shawzaeboutique
