Is all the hype about lace wigs justified?

• Many of us wear wigs, be it for a fashion statement or out of necessity (medical condition, baldness, etc). However how many of us know about the history of the wigs and how many of us know about recent technology updates?
• There is more to wigs than meets the eye than just being a useful replacement for our natural hair, or whatever the reason you do choose to wear the wig.
• For the curious few who have done their research, they must be aware of the fact that wigs have been around for a while. Besides which another interesting and fairly recent development in terms of wigs, is the lace wig.
• It may not seem anything new at this point in time, since there are many types of lace wigs and that too manufactured by several firms.

Little known facts about Lace Wigs:

Lace wigs is a big thing in the world of wigs and there is a lot of hype about it. This hype is completely justified due to the great features and applications of the lace wig.

• One of main issues when wearing a wig is that it will be easily detectable. However with a lace wig one of the biggest worries is over.
• The lace wig is usually never detectable thus making your wig with lace seem like the real thing (natural hair) every time.
• A lace wig consists of a very fine 'lace netting'.
• Since individual hair strands are attached to the netting and placed on the scalp, it appears like the hair is growing out of the scalp.
• The movement of the hair is very important and it helps determine whether the person is wearing a wig or has natural hair. With the lace wigs, the hair are able to swivel freely on their base hence it will likely not be detected by anyone, except a hair dresser.
• Lace wigs are very versatile and they can also be worn while swimming.
• They support many different hair styles. For example if you were to pull back the wig it can be made into a ponytail as well and even then it would not be detectable (as a wig).

Conclusion:

• Lace wigs are very popular and it is well justified since it opens up a lot of possibilities in terms of the hair styles and overall comfort and ease. It is thus no big surprise that this is one of the most popular type of wigs.
• These wigs can be purchased from a brick and mortar store or online, from an e commerce website. Elevate Styles is one such ecommerce website that has a very big collection of wigs. This is the perfect place to browse through the various wigs that are currently available and even make a quick buy.

2014 Hair Trends for African-American Women

By, Valerie Washington

Happy New Year to all you beautiful sistas’ out there! The big, year-end holidays are finally over and now is the time to explore the 2014 hair trends for African-American women. Today’s post is big – HUGE! There’s some old, some new and lot’s of color, layers and braids! It’s a year that’s sure to be full of surprises and great-looking hair. So let’s look at what the experts are saying will be hot this year and how Elevate Styles can help you achieve those same looks for yourself.

Fishtail Braids
Braids are always in, but this year you’ll see big, mussed braids that hang long to one-side. This is an easy style for even the most novice person and looks great for work or going out. Check out these fishtail braids being sported by Angela Simmons and Gabrielle Union.

Get This Look:
To achieve this look yourself, you need medium-long to long length hair. If your hair is short, invest in some extensions or even a lace-front wig. Fishtail braids require that the hair be parted into two sections, not three, like in traditional braiding. Leave some hair out at the top and on the sides if you want bangs to frame your face. Start twisting the hair at the nape of the neck, continuing until you’ve almost reached the end of the braid. Secure the hair with a rubber band, hair clip or even a fashionable barrette for children. If you have short hair, you can easily get this look with one of our fashionable lace front wigs – already braided – or you can get a straight lace front wig, or put in some hair extensions, and braid it yourself!

Get This Look:
To achieve this look, hair can be short, medium or long lengths. For graduated or asymmetrical bob styles, it’s probably best to get you hair cut into that style. The easiest way to wear a bob, whether it’s straight, wavy, curly or brightly colored is to sport a wig. You can have fun with daring asymmetrical cuts without ever touching your real hair.
