Easipart has a New and Bigger Range

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

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              Aisha_16T613           Delta              Delta_27

Angel hair     Angel Hair_1618              Betsy             Betsy_16

Easipart by Jon Renau

easipart3Easipart 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.

What causes hair Loss?

Causes of Hair loss

We all naturally lose hair from our scalp everyday. It can be quite normal to lose 50 to 100 hairs a day without causing any noticeable difference.  As we age our hair will begin to gradually thin.  Other causes of hair loss include Hormonal Factors, Medical Conditions, Medications, Stress, Hair Pulling disorders and traction hair loss resulting from Cornrows or pigtails.

Hormonal factors:

We are all susceptible to different things due to our genetic make up.  Men tend to lose more hair as they age than women but not always.  Women tend to lose more hair through pregnancy and childbirth.  As well, Menopause can also bring on more hair loss.

Medical Conditions:

There are a wide range of reasons for people to lose hair though a sickness or disorder.  Including some of the reasons below:

Thyroid Problems – Our thyroid regulates our hormone levels and if this isn’t working then hair loss can be experienced.

Scalp Infections – Our scalp gives blood flow to our hair which promotes hair growth. Massaging your scalp is very beneficial to keep the blood flowing and give our hair luster.

Skin Disorders – Diseases can cause scarring which can also result in hair loss.

Medications:

Hair loss can be be caused by some medications that are used to treat cancer, Arthritis, Depression, Heart problems and High Blood Pressure.

Other Causes:

There can be other simple causes like a physical or emotional shock that cause some hair thinning.

We are all different and we can all experience different things at different stages in our life.  Depending on our excessive the hair loss is, you may require a top piece, 3/4 wig or a full wig.  There are many options these days to make it so much easier for the person suffering with hair loss.

Check our website at www.wigsonline.com.au to explore these options.  We are available by phone to give advice and suggestions to which hair products might suit. Our office is manned from 10am to 5pm Monday to Friday on 1300797579.

Should I buy Remy Hair?

DSCN0911 copy

Remy Hair Extensions are becoming more popular by movie stars, model and the fashion conscious person alike. Its not always easy to know if what you buying is exactly what it claims to be.  Remy hair  and virgin hair are labels that manufacturers use all the time and some use it quite loosely.  So how do you know what you are getting?

The label of the hair is based on the characteristics of the hair and the method use to manufacture the hair.  Most Remy hair is sourced  from Asia, in particularly India.  Some is sourced from Brazil and Russia as well.  When collected most Remy is black, so it goes through a process to clean and sterilize the hair  to make it safe for the wearer.  Most hair is dyed into other colours to give a full spectrum of colours available.

Once the hair is collected, the manufacturer cuts and shapes the hair to be ready to manufacture into wigs and hair extensions.  The texture can be changed to wavy or straight as desired. The hair is crafted to make sure the cuticles of the hair ( outer layer) all face the same direction which keeps it real looking and helps it from tangling.  This gives the hair a silky smooth feel as well as keeping the natural shine of the hair.

Remy hair is more expensive the regular human hair.  It is not always easy to tell just by looking at the hair.  Some will be labelled as Virgin and remy hair.  Virgin hair is usually black and unprocessed hair.

If the price seems really low then it probably is not Remy hair.  Remy takes a lot more work to manufacture and is more expensive.  To start with the hair may look great but if it starts to tangle or matt then it probably wasn’t Remy hair to start with.

Remy Hair extensions should last anything from 3 months to 6 months with regular care and maintenance.

Is it worth the extra expensive?  Well that is a personal preference and some A Grade Human hair is an excellent quality. We do stock some wefts that are not remy but they are an A grade quality which we never have problems with. As a consumer you want to know that what you are buying is exactly what it claims to be.  You don’t want to be paying the price of Remy hair if it is not Remy. Always buy your hair products from a reliable and reputable  source.  Reputable companies are those who will stand by their product.  Always buy from a company who you can converse with over the phone and have a generous returns policy.  It is also best to buy from a local supplier so if you have problems you are not going to spend a fortune returning it to an overseas company.  All these things need to be taken into account.

 

Wigs Online prides themselves as an Australian Based Company with Australian staff and a very generous returns policy.  We have a phone number where you can speak with an Australian operator.  We take pride in offering great and reliable service.

Hair Loss while undergoing Chemotherapy

Hair Loss can occur for so many reasons. It could be stress, illness, hormonal changes, pregnancy, medication or many other reasons. Sometimes Hair loss will occur just on the scalp or it may occur all over the body. Hair Loss on our scalp and our eyebrows would probably be the most concerning areas for many people.

Wigs, hairpieces, false eyebrows or eyelashes are all very useful depending on the purpose you need it and how much hair loss you are experiencing. If you are starting chemotherapy, here is a few tips to consider:

– Do some research to find out what type of wig you think you may like. Some people prefer to stay as close to their hair style as possible, while others like to try new styles.

-Have the wig ready before you loose your hair so you can chose the wig without the stress that you need one immediately. Also, it gives you time to have a play with your wig and get used to the idea of wearing a wig.

– Once you start Chemotherapy you may feel very ill and choosing a wig might be the last thing you feel like doing.

-Browse the internet for wigs and styles that you may like. It takes time to decide which wig that you think may suit you.

– Have a chat to your hairdresser to see if he /she would be able to help you customize your wig. For example, to cut a few layers or shape a fringe to your liking.

– Ask a close friend to have a look at a few different wigs with you. Sometimes your close friends can point out something that you haven’t thought of and help boost your confidence.

– Buy the best quality wig that you can afford. Cheap nasty wigs are not going to help you feel good. Sometimes it better to choose a good synthetic rather than a cheap human hair wig.

– Consider a synthetic wig as they are easier to care for and they keep their shape after washing. Very little styling is required for a synthetic hair wig. Human hair wigs are luxurious but they do require more styling.

– When you are undergoing chemotherapy your scalp can become sensitive. Buy a wig cap to put a barrier between your scalp and wig.

– Use good Salon quality shampoo and conditioner to take care of your wig and wash it regularly.

– Find out from your health fund or if there are any government assistance funds that can help with covering the cost of your wig.

– If you lose hair on your eyebrows consider false eyebrows, they are not that expensive and they will make you feel like you. Our Eyebrows gives our face definition. We are so used to seeing our eyebrows in the mirror that we feel very odd without them.

– As well as False Eyebrows there are some very simple to use false eyelashes that can help as well if you feel the need for them.

– Remember we are all different and what feels right for one person may not be for someone else. Do what makes you feel good. And don’t forget to ask for help – true friends and family never mind giving a helping hand.
