Tips of customizing hair system
For some people customizing a hair system for the first time, there can be confusion about what data need to be required. With the tips outlined in this essay, you can go directly to the salon and express your needs.
Many hair system salons have their own lists, and if they do, you’ll save yourself a lot of effort. But there are still some questions you may not be prepared to ask. For example:
(1) If you want to customize a toupee made of Chinese hair, the best radio to mix Chinese hair and Indian hair is 8:2. The proportion of high heat silk and human hair had better also be 8:2. If you have thick hair, go for 100% Chinese hair. If you have thick hair and want to bend it, go for Indian hair, which is easier to curl.
(2) If you want a mix of grey hair, the recommended distribution is 3% at the front, 8% at the temples, 5% at the sides, and 5% at the back. If you are older, choose front 3%, middle 3%, side 7% to 8%, and sideburns 15%.
(3) When choosing a bottom net, you should pay attention to the lace hair system that is most natural. The mesh of lace is hexagonal. Therefore, the direction is more diverse, the hairstyle is more natural. Even after a long period of use, the shape of the hair system does not change and can stay around for a long time. The orientation of Mono, which consists of a quadrangle net, is limited to four directions and easily becomes flat. Compared with both, I still prefer you to choose the Lace material of the base net.
(4) The hair quality should choose the human hair that can be ironed, dyed, and blown. If the hair needs to have curl, you’d better choose the curling iron of 19mm, 25mm, 28mm, and 32mm. When the hair needs to have curl, Chinese hair and European hair should be mixed with the ratio of 4:6 or 7:3.
(5) Be sure to buy hair color swatches to compare with your original hair, which will reduce the chances that customized hair is too different from the original hair color and looks unnatural.
This is the case with the form, you can save some trouble. But the basic knowledge of customization still needs to be mastered.
(a) Place the hair color swatches on your hair and mark the most similar colors. If you want a lighter hair system, to prevent damage to fake hair caused by dyeing the hair system, you can make a hair system with the hair color you want and dye your original hair to match it.
(b) The hairline in a toupee should be attached to your forehead, so be careful with the color and try to bleach the part that sticks to the skin. Even skin tones that look the same can look different when worn. You can use a skin color palette, spray it wet, and put it on your skin for comparison. Take into account that you will sweat on a hot day, so a skin color palette that is wet will look more natural than it is dry.
(c) The length of hair in a hair system for men is about 18 centimeters, and the length of the hair system is 12 centimeters longer than the actual length. Of course, you can also customize hair lengths according to your actual situation.
(d) In terms of hair, the younger the age, the more hair, and the older the age, the less hair. Besides, if you have less side hair, you can add more hair to the side of the hair system to compensate.
(e) Custom hair system can be difficult to maintain if made with straight hair. So add soft C-shaped waves to the custom hair system to reduce the inconvenience of straight hair. There is no protective layer of human hair toupee’s scales, so it’s easy to appear knotted phenomenon, and it becomes inconvenient to do. Therefore, it is better to customize a hair system with the right curvature.
(f) If you want a loose root or a natural look, you can mix human hair with artificial hair, but keep it under 30% because it may become discolored or hair deformed.
(g) Decide the direction of the hair seam according to your own situation.
Some tips about the way to make a hair system:
(1) Hand knitting is on a net, with crochet and crochet hand knitting hair method, divided into V weaving, double weaving, half double weaving, single weaving, and half single weaving, and other ways. In this way, it allows you to mimic the flow of real human hair by freely changing the direction of the hair, especially in the hairline, which gives a very natural effect. In addition to the basic net, there are flexible nets that are fine-tuned according to the header size.
(2) Machine knitting is a method of sewing long strips of implanted hair onto a net or sewing the hair directly onto a net with a machine. Because the hair flow can not be changed at will, it is difficult to change the shape, not delicate and natural. But because they are cheap and can be used in a variety of colors and hairstyles, they are often used as a fashion wig for people who want to make a bold change or dress up for a special day.
