Is Your Lace Wig Customized?

Having a customized lace wig is like heaven for women like myself who has Alopecia, damaged hair, and other poor hair conditions. Buying a customized wig is a total different experience than buying a wig from your local beauty supply store.

When buying a lace wig in the beauty supply store, your options are limited to the colors in stock, average head measurements, plastic lace, french transparent lace, density, one hair type, and very few hair textures. One other important thing is that the hair you're buying is NOT Indian Remy hair, which means it's non-cuticle hair. This type of hair will last you about a month...if that.

I just recently designed a customized glueless full lace unit for a client (as shown in picture). My client was able to choose her cap style, lace type, density (very important, don't want to look wiggish), color, hair type, texture, and length. I almost forgot to mention that the lace wig will last up to a year or longef if it is taken care of properly. Being able to create your own wig is highly beneficial for countless reasons and worth the investment!

Recap of Favorite AMA Red Carpet Looks & Performances

Ok Couture Beauties...I know I'm really late knowing the AMA's aired last Sunday. I did enjoy watching the AMA's and the performances that I really loved were P!nk, Nicki Minaj, & PSY. I was also scoping out for the hottest hair & makeup looks. The artists that topped my list was Nicki Minaj (of course), P!nk, and Christina Aguilera. Nicki's hair was my favorite because she is always sporting the unique wigs thanks to her Master Wig Stylist Terrence Davidson. Check out the photos below.




Here's a video with my favorite performace with PSY & MC Hammer! Enjoy (again)

Quick Hair Tips While Cooking Thanksgiving Dinner

Thanksgiving is only a couple days away and I know we are all making a list of what we're cooking. I wanted to give a few quick tips on how to keep your hair fresh and ready to go when it comes time to meet, greet, and best of all EAT! These tips are also for those who stand around in the hot kitchen sneaking food and watching your loved ones cook *talking about myself* :-). I'm happy to say that I will be doing more of the cooking this year, except the turkey & ham! On to my mini tips:

For Straight Hair: Bump your hair the night, wrap it and wear a satin scarf to bed. Next day, keep the hair wrapped up in the satin scarf until you're done cooking and ready to meet & greet friends and family.

For Wavy Hair - Twist or braid the hair in section, pin and cover with a satin bonnet. Unbraid/twist when you're done cooking and ready to meet & greet friends and family.

For Curly Hair - Do pin curls all over & cover with a satin bonnet. Unpin the curls ready when you're done cooking and ready to meet & greet friends and family. 

As you see, these tips are very simple and will help you keep your 'do fresh for the Thanksgiving holiday!

Have A Happy & Glamourful Thanksgiving!

Did You Know...Alopecia Areata Linked To Other Auto Immune Conditions?

Good Evening Fellow Alopecian Beauties!

I just came across a YouTube video on Alopecia Areata being linked to other auto immune conditions. The video is covered by Dr. David Clark who appears to be very well educated in the field of auto immune conditions. Please watch this video and be informed that Alopecia is just as serious as any other auto immune condition.


Now that you are educated on how Alopecia Areata can be linked to other auto immune conditions, it is time to make our doctor aware of the seriousness of it. I have been to countless doctors only to be brushed off because they lacked the education of Alopecia Areata or just did not want to take the time in researching and trying different methods.

Stay informed & Spread the Awareness!

Thinkin Bout You - Covered by Antonique Smith

I fell in love with Frank Ocean's song Thinkin Bout as soon as I heard it on the radio. About a week ago, I ran across a YouTube video with Antonique Smith's version. If you don't know who she is you must didn't watch the movie Notorious. Antonique played the starring role as Faith Evans, and she is growing tremendously in her music career. Her voice is very soulful and has that '90's feel to it. Here is her video singing Thinkin Bout You. While watching the video check out her beautiful hair.



Happy Friday Couture Beauties!

Quick Wig Tips For Winter Hair Care

Hey Couture Beauties!

Now that Summer has past and Fall is slowly drifting away, the cold air is coming upon us quickly. Remember that dry air = dry hair. The key word this winter is MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE. Yes I have to stress this word because it's vital in keeping your stands nice and strong. The cold dry air can cause your hair to become brittle, dry, and lead to breakage if you do not keep the hair conditioned & moisturized.
  • Use a moisturizing shampoo & conditioner once a week
  • Deep condition the hair for 3 to 5 minutes with a masque once a week
  • Use a serum & a hydrating cream to seal the hair strands  
  • Every two days lightly spray the hair with conditioner water (How to make Conditioner Water)
  • Wear a satin scarf/bonnet every night to keep the hair moisturized (Why wear a Satin Bonnet)
  • When wearing a wool coat also wear a satin or silk scarf to protect the hair from rubbing against the coat. This will prevent breakage and tangling.

Beyonce's Haute Blunt Bangs

Source: USA Today
Beyonce and her Hubby Jay-Z attended Brooklyn Nets' first home game in pure style...as always :-). This time Bey switched up her hair and rocked a long shag with blunt bangs. What I love most about Bey is through out all the styles she has worn even with braids she always stayed with the same hair color. Check out some old pics of Bey rocking blunt bangs.

Hair 'Nspiration | Naomi Campbell's Long Sleek Locks W/Bangs


I spotted this Haute photo of Naomi Campbell on TractHerTrailHer.com. Naomi is the new face of Love Republic's Fall/Winter 2012 campaign and I just have to say that she looks Haute in every photo and piece that she is wearing. To see more pics, click here. I favored this photo because you can see the sleekness in her hair and how it enhances her beautiful structured face. Oh.... and how can I forget to mention that this dress is my favorite piece from the Love Republic's collection. Now on to her Hair....

Naomi's style can be glamourous, sexy, and simple all at the time! This style is perfect if you have a heart shaped face because the bangs bring out the beautiful definition of your bone structure.

How To Achieve Naomi's Style
Apply an heat protectant and flat-iron your hair in sections. When complete, seal the hair by smoothing on an hair serum to give it some shine. To keep this style nice & fresh for an extended period, wrap the hair and tie it up with a satin scarf. For extra protection to keep the strands moisturized, sleep on a satin pillow case.

Here are some Lace Systems to give you a head start on getting Naomi's glamourous style.
