Difference in Double Drawn and Single Drawn

Posted on 28 July 20159 May 2022 by Wigs Online

The market is swamped with so many hair extensions at all prices. You can be forgiven if you are having problems working out why some are so cheap and other are so expensive. Quality is a huge factor when it comes to Hair Extensions and prices.

What is Single Drawn?

Single Drawn hair is hair that was obtained from one donor as a ponytail. Because it is kept together naturally the donor will have different lengths of hair. Some people like this as they feel it looks more naturally but the ends will not look as full and even. they can look a little straggly at the ends.

What is double drawn hair?

Double drawn will tangle less than single drawn hair and is the highest quality you can find. By hand the shorter lengths of hair are removed so it will take more than one donor to make up a weft. All of the hair will have an uniform length and look much fuller than single drawn.

What do I Buy?

Double drawn is more expensive as it may take 9 – 10 lbs of single drawn hair to make 1 lb of double drawn hair. Also, the labour involved in making double drawn is much more intensive and lengthy which is reflected in the price. Its a personal preference to how much hair you want, the price you are prepared to pay and how much hair you need to integrate with your own.

Above you can see an image of a Single drawn weft and a double drawn weft. The double drawn weft is easy to see as it looks much healthier and fuller on the ends.

All of the wefts at Wigs Online are Double drawn and are kept at reasonable prices as much as possible.

Reasons to buy a wig.

Posted on 20 July 201516 May 2019 by Wigs Online

No More Bad Hair Days

Wigs can be for fashion and fun as well as disguising hair loss. No matter what the reason I say why not have fun with it. I have listed some of the popular reasons people love wigs.

EW_Date4 EW_Play2 EW_Pam_hitec1

shutterstock_74512990 At times when clients are suffering with hair loss due to cancer, alopecia, stress, hormonal changes, etc: A wig is a simple and easy solution that can help the wearer feel like their normal self again. It takes the worry of hair loss out of the picture so they can look after any other issues they need to deal with. It can help with the wearer feel confident again to walk out on the street without feeling self conscious.

EW_Flip1 Colouring your hair can damage your hair with the excess use of bleaches and dyes.The more processes and chemicals you place your hair through, the more damage is done. Natural hair is always the healthiest. With a wig you need not worry about giving your hair any more stress than necessary. Your own hair can remain strong and healthy underneath.

No commitment to keeping a colour or style. You can try a new wig whenever you feel like you need a change. There is no reason why you can’t have a short style today and a long style tomorrow or you could be a blonde on Saturday night while being a brunette during the week. A wig can be a trial run to see if you are going to like a style before you style and cut your own hair. If you don’t like it, you can change a wig but changing your style may take time to grow out all those layers and fringes.

With the costs of going to the hairdresser, a wig is probably better value. Most hairdressers these days cost up to $400 for a colour, cut and blow wave which will need more colour and styling in 6 – 8 weeks. A synthetic wig will last up to 6 months and a human hair wig will last up to 12 months with no further colouring or trimming needed.

shutterstock_9980950 No more bed hair. Your hair can look glamorous within ten minutes of getting out of bed. It can be styled from the night before and still look great. No need to worry about the hair tangled and matted from bed. Your wig is sitting on the end of your bed ready to pop on.

A synthetic wig means no styling just put on and go. Synthetic Hair wigs are the easiest wigs to take care of. You can’t apply heat so there is no styling and they are designed to keep their style and shape. Little time and effort required.

No need to wash and style your hair every second day. Your wig will stay looking great for a at least a week before it needs washing. And when its time to wash your wig it’s a simple process with some shampoo, conditioner and a bucket.

And for the best reason of all, have fun shopping for a new wig style.

What does it mean for a Wig to be Hand Tied?

Posted on 13 July 201517 April 2020 by Wigs Online

If you are a first time wearer you may be struggling with choosing the right wig for you. Terms like Hand Tied, Mono top or Lace front all seem very complicated. They are all very good features of a really good quality wig.

You have probably found lots of information on Mono tops and Lace fronts but what does a Hand tied wig mean for the wig wearer. Just to refresh, a mono top is a fine mesh that is so transparent that the hair looks like it is coming out of your own scalp. The Lacefront is describing the very sheer lace on the hair line at the front of the wig which also gives you the appearance of the hair like a natural hair line. These terms are quite common for good quality brands like Jon Renau, Henry Margu and Ellen Wille.

Below you can see what a hand tied wig looks like on the inside of the cap. Hand tied is a little different and does make a wig more expensive. As the name suggests each hair is individually tied into the cap by hand. It is expensive as it is very labour intensive and a hand tied wig can take 3 -4 times longer for a wigmaker to make. Hand Tied wigs give you a very comfortable fit as they are finished very smoothly on the cap’s surface. They are the most naturally looking wigs that you will find regardless if they are human hair or synthetic hair. There is no risk of the wefting showing as there is no weft just a very fine quality lace. The hair looks like it is coming out of your own scalp. The way the hair is attached allows the hair to be multi directional giving you versatility in styling.

If your budget allows for it I would without hesitation suggest a Hand tied wig but be warned it will be difficult to go back to anything else in the future.

At Wigs Online we are building a large stock of Hand Tied Lace wigs as they are becoming much more popular and the quality of a Hand tied wig is unsurpassable.

What is a 3/4 Wig?

Posted on 6 July 201517 April 2020 by Wigs Online

A 3/4 Wig is different to a full wig that it only covers 3/4 of your head and is used to integrate with your own hair. They are fixed just in the front of the crown of your head ( in behind your fringe with clips. They are the perfect solution to those experiencing some hair loss. A 3/4 wig will add volume and length to your hair very easily.

Here are some tips to placing a 3/4 wig on your head:

1. Pull back your hair from just behind your fringe and hold back with some pins.
2. Insert the comb of the front of the wig onto your head where you want to place the wig.
3. Secure the wig at the nape with the clips or combs ( depends on the wig what attachments it has)
4. Brush hair and integrate hair with wig.

If this is done probably you won’t be able to see where the wig finishes and ends. It will be a seamless finish. Not everyone is prepared to wear a wig and may not need a full wig so a 3/4 wig is a great idea.

Its always a great idea to search through utube and search “putting on a 3/4 wig” where you can watch how someone else does it. There are other ways of applying your wig and everyone has there own style of wearing wigs.

We have a small range of 3/4 wigs in different colours and styles as well as some human hair and synthetic hair 3/4 wigs. Check out our website at www.wigsonline.com.au

New Colour Trends

Posted on 29 June 201517 April 2020 by Wigs Online

Dark Rooted colours are one of the trends that we are finding more common in wigs. Wig Brands like Jon Renau and Ellen Wille keep coming out with more styles that look fabulous.

12FS8 is one of these colours by Jon Renau. In different wigs they may look similar but they take their own style. This is one colour that we love in the short styles as well as the longer styles.

Colour 12FS8 is a Light Golden Brown and Light Natural Golden Blonde with Pale Natural Gold Blonde with Medium Brown Roots. The roots are very pronounced in these wigs and give you a realistic look as we all know that it doesn’t matter how often we colour our hair there is always some hair growth showing. The darker roots gives the wig a more three dimensional shape. The darkness with the blond is just a very elegant look no matter if its a short or long style.

Light Champagne Rooted is another of these dark rooted colours which is found in Ellen Wille Wigs. It is particularly lovely in the Code wig by Ellen Wille. The contrast with the very dark roots with a platinum blonde is absolutely gorgeous. The appearance is quite striking.

One of our newest colours from Ellen Wille is Pearl Blonde Rooted. This is a very unique colour to Ellen Wille and we all just love it especially in the Flip wig. The Flip would be the most elegant wig for the mature women and the Pearl Blonde is certainly a beautiful colour.

Nougat rooted is another rooted colour but not so obvious for those who don’t want such a dramatic hair colour. The darkness around the crown is complimented with lighter tips.

These are just a few Rooted Colour Trends we are seeing come through on Wigs Online. There will be more to come very soon.

Always give us a call if you can’t see what you are looking for. We are always happy to order in something specially for you. You can give us a call on 1300 79 75 79 or email us at sales@wigsonline.com.au

Posted on 15 June 201516 May 2019 by Wigs Online

Hair Fashion Hair Trends for 2015

Posted on 1 June 201517 April 2020 by Wigs Online

Just because you wear wigs doesn’t mean you can’t be fashionable. As some of the trends mentioned by Harpers Bazaar, Elle, Vogue and many other Fashion Experts, we have matched up with some wigs and hair pieces that will keep you up with the current fashion trends. Here is a few examples:

Boho Beach Waves

The Boho Beach waves are gentle long waves just like our Picture Perfect and Katherine. They are so romantic and soft looking around your face that everyone is going to feel very feminine with any of these wigs.

Long Pony Tails

The long sleek ponytail is being showcased by many celebrities at many functions. It is so simple and elegant that anyone can wear them. They often say less is best and the sleek pony tail is definitely that. We have the Shelly in Human hair and the HP-ES is in synthetic hair. Both come in an array of colours and will look great at your next event.

Buns

Buns come in many shapes and sizes from hair wraps, scrunchies to formal buns. Buns are not so easy to do yourself but a clip in bun takes all the hassle out of styling your own hair. The Grace Bun and the Delightful Bubble can be placed over your own hair and are attached with clips. The Mimic is a scrunchie that is so easy to attach and looks fantastic. It’s a must to put in your suitcase when travelling and want something to throw your hair up to dinner. It’s definitely the no fuss hair style that everyone can achieve. These options are all synthetic hair that you do not need to style at all as it is all done for you.

Bombshell Hollywood Styles

The full blown Hollywood style is definitely that glamorous long hair that looks like you just walked off the stage. The long synthetic hair wigs section has this covered in many styles and colours. The Sugar Rush, Amber and Ava are just a few to mention that are some of our favourites.These examples are all synthetic but there are certainly some Human hair options if you are happy to spend a little more.
