Cheat Sheet
- Understanding Remy Hair -
Remy hair features all cuticles aligned in one direction from root to tip, minimizing tangling and ensuring longevity (source: Society of Hair Testing). A helpful mnemonic is "RAM" - Remy Aligns Motifs - to recall cuticle alignment. True statements about Remy hair include its ability to accept color treatments evenly without shaft damage.
- Identifying Fashion Hairpieces -
Fashion hairpieces often use synthetic fibers treated to mimic human hair texture, offering budget-friendly styling options (source: Journal of Cosmetology). Remember "SYN's the Limit" to associate synthetic pieces with versatility in color but lower heat resistance. An accurate statement is that synthetic pieces can retain their style after washing but cannot usually be heat-styled.
- Cap Wig vs Capless Wig Structures -
Cap wigs have a solid mesh base that secures hair wefts for uniform density, while capless wigs use open wefting for better breathability and lighter weight (source: Professional Beauty Association). Use the "Solid Shell vs Open Net" formula to recall structural differences. Clients with sensitive scalps often prefer capless designs for increased airflow.
- Proper Wig Placement -
When putting the wig on the client, start at the nape of the neck and gently slide the cap forward to the front hairline for a snug, natural fit (source: Pivot Point International). This "Back-to-Front" method helps align the wig's ear tabs and hairline. Always adjust tension straps last to avoid pressure points.
- Styling Techniques for Natural Appearance -
Excessive backcombing or heavy hairspray can make a wig look less natural by adding bulk and stiffness around the crown (source: International Journal of Trichology). A simple formula is "Less Tease + Lighter Hold = Lifelike Flow" to maintain movement. Opt for low-shine products and finger-styling to preserve realistic hair behavior.
