PSOCARSIS OF THE SCALP AND WIGS, CAN IT WORK?

   Scalp psoriasis is a chronic immune condition where the immune system causes skin cells to multiply too quickly, resulting   in thick , silvery white scales,  red patches and flaking.  However, wigs  can work wonderfully  for scalp psoriasis, especially  if you are experiencing  hair loss and thinning., or irritation from visible  plaques.  However,  wigs may work for the cover up,  but due to the trap heat and sweat, and the friction can trigger or worsen flare ups.  You can prevent this by using certain guidelines such as using certain caps,  avoid glue and adhesives wigs, such as lace wigs,  and wear wigs in moderation,   including caring for your scalp daily  You should avoid wigs when you are currently  in the amide of an angry flare up.  When following these guidelines,  it should help your scalp .We love our natural hair, scalp and wigs. 

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 GET INTO THE HAIR BUSINESS AND FINDING THE RIGHT POSITION FOR YOU

The hair business is a huge responsibility, and you will need a great love for hair.  When I say great love for hair,  it's for the natural hair as well,  not just to sell someone hair.    When you are in the hair business,  you should learn all you can about the hair business.   This is why stylist have such a huge advantage in selling hair.    Although,  you may not be a stylist,  it would be a big advantage for you to  learn about the natural hair,  and all other different type of hair.   The knowledge of hair will help you to stand out and find your position in the hair business.    You will be able  to aid clients natural hair as you offer extensions and custom wigs.    You are required by law to be a license cosmetologist to open a salon and offer certain hair services,  or you have to hire license cosmetologist to work in your salon.   However,  there are so many other positions you can take in the hair business.   Here  are some of the positions,  wig designers,  extension specialist,  extension and wig seller,  natural hair consultant selling natural hair products.  You don't have to sell hair to be in the hair business.   There are so many ways that you can find your position in the hair business to stand out and make a different.   You need to do some  research and figure out what you want to do,  what inspires you the most,  and go forward.   Remember everyone is good at something, and if you want to be in the hair business,  you have to figure out what that something is.

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

SHAWZAE NOT JUST ABOUT HAIR WE HANDCRAFT JEWELRY

I love staying busy,  so when I am not working on making custom wigs,  I am back working on my handcrafted jewelry.  When I move to Florida,  I lost my clients and market for my handcrafted jewelry,  however,  I found the passion again to work on my handcrafted jewelry.  You will see special one of a kind jewelry pieces as I continue to grow my brand Shawzae   I am following my dreams as a designer,  and I like to think of myself as crafty so I get my hands in a lot of things,  especially hair, health and beauty products.  We also started a perfume collection as well,  so whatever it is you want to do,  find time,  make time and start doing it.    

HOW TO CARE FOR BRAIDED HAIR WITH EXTENSIONS

The first thing to remember is not to leave braids in for more than 4-6 weeks,  secondly educate your clients that tighter is not better.  Braiding hair too tight and keeping braids in too long will damage your natural hair.  Now, let's talk about how to care for braids with extensions.   Most people do not want to wash their hair while they have braids because they believe that it will fizz up,  however, washing and conditioning your hair two weeks after you get your braids will help eliminate dryness and  help to keep your hair follicles strong.  If you are concern with hair frizzing,  wear a stocking cap or wig cap for thirty minutes to lay down the hair,  make sure the cap that you use is breathable.
Applying a small amount to the scalp daily will also help to keep hair follicles from looking dry, dull, and lifeless and will keep your hair from thinning when the braids are removed.  There are a lot of strong ladies coming out allowing you to see what happens when you don't take care of your hair. Letting someone braid your hair too tight because you want it to last for two months is definitely a no,  or just leaving your hair in braids for 2 or 3 months to save money is definitely a no.  Braids are beautiful so let keep them looking beautiful and healthy by washing, and conditioning our hair.  You may not know this but products are another key factor in taking care of your hair,  so put good in to get good out.  

Note:  Our hair braiding school will start in a couple of months,  and we are here to teach you how to braid hair to prevent hair loss.   There is a technique to safe braiding.  If you have any question leave me a comment or email me at emurray310@gmail.com    Hair braiding is in our future and has been in our past for generations,  so it's not going anywhere,  so building safe braiding habits and natural hair care is a most.  
                                             
                                              Look at this picture,  the hair is braided too tight,
                                              so lets not do this.

                                                                   

SHAWZAE ON CUSTOMER SERVICE AND RESOURCING YOUR HAIR

Customer service is one of the most important aspect of any business.   In business,  you will have problems occurring at time,  but it's what you do after the problem has occurred.  I was told once that it's not what happen,  but how you handle it afterwards  that matter to the customers.
Lets's talk about resourcing your hair,  I am a wig designer so I have to find the best quality hair that I can afford for my customers.   One of the things,  I discovered in this process is that some of the business owners do diminish the quality of hair for other business owners.   I make it my business to read review on other businesses to see what their customers are saying about their business and the quality of hair that they are getting from them.  I realized that no matter how much money you pay for custom wigs,  or regardless of how much people tend to market the products as the best,  sometime they fall short.   As a customer,  I am looking for quality hair for me, and my customers.  I want to pass onto them quality hair,  and affordability.   I personally will never pay over $250 for any type of hair no matter what the company say.   I will never charge my customer any more money than I would pay myself,  and I am going to tell you why.   One of the reasons are if you don't care for your hair it's going to go bad no matter how much money you paid.  Second reason is in the nape of your neck,  you going to sweat because you have the hair coming down your back,  which mean it's going to tangle.   Human hair gets tangle,  so if you are purchasing human hair,  then you should know that it's going to get tangle unless it is processed so that it doesn't which  mean that they have put something on the hair.   You should think of human hair as your own natural hair,  which get tangle and matted if not care for.   Third  reason is that company mislead you about human hair,  and the reasons that some hair don't work out for the customers is because the human hair it self may not be good quality hair,  even though  it's human hair.  A  business owner should know that these problems are going to occur,  and when it dose give the best customer service that is possible,  and don't overcharge for your products,  when you know that the products is not as you say,  or put down other business owners.   We should also remember that even when you do this there are some people that you just can't get through or help.

THE WIG RESTORATION SERVICE

CREATING AND BRANDING FOR 2016

This is such a great time to start creating your brand,  getting products and your name out there because the world is ready for all new things.   We have a lot of digital products,  health  and beauty products coming out,  it 's endless.   We are also coming out with our vegan lipstick line,  and we are adding  lip balms.   The most excited thing about coming out with new products is creating them.  I love crafting,  this is fun time.   Crafting is also educational because you learn about the products that you are crafting to brand and sell it.   As a wig designer,  it's about creating and styling,  and this year it's about putting your personal touches on the creation such as coloring, and  cutting.

THE MAKING AND CREATING OF CUSTOM WIGS

This is a fabulous time for you to learn to make custom wigs for yourself or a friend.  We have so many custom wig designers out there that do such a great job in making wigs.  The fact that we do have so many wig designers,  how do you know who to go to,  or what set the designers apart.  Most designers know how to color, cut and style their wigs,  it's about making your signature.   I will also
be improving on my signature touches by offering more color,  and cuts on my designers wigs.  It is really an important part of making custom wigs,  because most of the time when you order your human hair,  they usually have two colors 1B or natural which is black,  which is not the color you are looking for at the time.  We are stepping it up ladies for you,  because custom wigs are trending,  and not going anywhere so stay tuned in.

I will be giving Beverly,  my new custom wig an overhaul cutting her down to a 10 inch bob.  I really have a ache in heart for doing this,  but I believe she will be more beautiful and stylish shorter.
New video will be out soon,  stay tuned.  See all of our wigs on http://www.instagram.com/eunicemurray  visit our website at http://mdesignersinc.wix.com/shawzaehairstudio book an appointment to get a custom wig made,  or revamp your old wig or extensions.

   Watch new video and see my cutting style and see Beverly turn into a beautiful bob. 

DO THE BRAND OF THE HAIR MATTER, OR THE PRODUCT NAME?

I am going to say yes, absolutely,  because some brand of hair products are very different from each other,  including the way the hair was put together.   We all know that human hair v. human hair blend is very different, when it come to the quality of the hair.  We also know that each brand has their own human hair and human hair mix, including some synthetic hair.    We look for quality in the hair that we purchase rather it is human hair or human hair blend.   I love Zury, Outre, and Milky Way,  and warming up to Sendationnel.    Each of these brands have really good hair in my book,  and sometimes feeling of the hair from different brands,  I can't tell the different.   Some of the human hair blend looks and feel real,  and I especially look for that type of quality in hair.   I wear human hair and human hair blend,  I want to do the same with either hair,  so it dose matter.

 

This is a Zury brand human hair which I love,  for more information on this item go

Commerical Wigs v. Custom Wigs You Be The Judge

I love extensions, and wigs.  My mother was a true lover of wigs.   I believe that's probably why I love them as well.  I have worn the lower extensions and wig to the higher extensions and wigs.    I can tell you it is a big different,  because a lot of commercial wigs on the lower side looks fake,  and are usually rather thin in destiny.  Custom wigs are usually full and volumes,  now I am not saying that it's like that for all wigs. The quality of your wig starts with the hair and of course the wig cap make a big statement in custom wigs.  Most custom wig designers try to use a cap that fits small to large heads,  and sometimes that doesn't work.    I had some bad experiences with caps when I first started making wigs,  but as you move on,  things improve.   The key to getting a good wig is to select the quality of hair on the cap,  because if the hair is good,  you will be able to wear the wig for more than 4 weeks.   Spandex wig caps are used popular with ladies making wigs for themselves,  but I would rather make a wig for someone else on a net cap,  to ensue air to their natural hair.  You be the judge commercial or custom.

CARING FOR YOUR WIG

I am so excited about this post,  because it's a requested post. A lot of ladies want to learn about  how to care for wigs.   I want to first start out with the quality of care starts with the quality of the hair.  As you may or may not know,  they are making high quality premium synthetic hair,  that holds heat,  and equal to the premium human hair blend.  I am going to start here,  when caring for synthetic hair,  it's not a lot to do other than wash and condition it,  because it's not going to last long.  The regular synthetic hair is basically just trashed,  most ladies will just purchase more hair.   Synthetic premium heat resistance hair will last you a longer time frame than regular synthetic hair.  The maintenance on synthetic premium  heat resistance  hair is the same as human hair blend.   Wash your hair in lukewarm water,  use mild shampoo,  and you also wash your hair in an up and down motion.   The washing in an up and down motion help prevent tangles.   You will also want to apply a good conditioner,  rinse well,  pat dry with a towel, and let air dry.  When your hair is completely dry,  apply a little oil sheen to freshen the look while styling your hair.  Always follow the instruction you are given,  because when you buy a wig from a wig designers,  they are going to give you the manufactures instruction.  This information refers to human hair,  human hair blend,  and synthetic heat resistance hair.  These types of  hair will last you a long time with the proper care, and they can also take coloring as well as the heat.   A lot of ladies are wearing wigs now to give their natural hair a break,  and to help the natural hair to grow.   A lot of these custom wigs  don't look like wigs, so they are easy to wear with the invisible part.  So buy you a nice fresh wig for the holidays,  there will be a lot of sales out there starting  with us.  For more information on our wigs go to http://www.etsy.com/shop/shawzaeboutique   and to see our full wig collection go to http://mdesignersinc.wix.com/shawzaehairstudio    We are going to start a Red Tag Sale on November 15th.

NATURAL LACE FRONT CUSTOM WIG

The natural lace front and color trends today makes this wig a hit for this season.  The highlights are reflected through the hair which is a very hot color.   There are a lot of women that are custom making wigs that can create this natural lace front.   They have a big advantage over myself and others that don't yet know how to do it, however it looks like a fascinating experience but time consuming, so we fail due to patience.   Highlights and Balayage are the new season trends for color,  although highlights are not new,  but still are used a lot in hair styles.  For more information on this custom wig and others go to http://www.etsy.com/shop/shawzae
