Top Tips for Preserving Your Remy Wig

You’ve spent a long time mulling and shopping around for your wig, and now it’s finally here! With a new wig comes an undoubtable level of excitement as you enjoy how it makes you look and feel. However, in order to maintain your great new style, you’ll first need to know how to care for your wig. This article is written to teach you that exact task. There are a number of important steps to wig care you need to know to care properly for your wig.

Where Do I Keep My Wig?

While the temptation may be there, you can’t wear your wig 24/7. Therefore, you should have a place for it to go whenever it isn’t in use. Keep it away from light and heat and on a wig stand. You should invest in one as soon as possible. It’s great not just for your home, but for when you travel as well. A wig box is also vital to the latter circumstance because it ensures your wig’s safety.

How Do I Clean My Wig?

Washing a wig doesn’t work in quite the same way as it would with hair attached to your scalp. You have to use much gentler methods for a wig. The company that made your wig will supply you with a guide to cleaning it properly. There’s a specific process you should follow.

First, fill a bowl with lukewarm water. You can then use wig shampoo to get the wig clean. Focus on the ends and comb the suds through for maximum coverage. Then use the bowl of water you prepared before to rinse the shampoo out. Afterward, you can towel off the wig with gentle patting motions, comb it and return it to your wig stand. The drying process should take around two days to finish, after which you can wear your wig as normal.

How Do I Style My Wig?

Styling your wig will be the first step in your new wig ownership and, much like the washing process, will take gentler methods. Again, you’ll need a full arsenal of wig care products on hand.

Remy wigs are far more susceptible to heat damage than your natural hair is because they aren’t being regularly nourished and replenished by minerals and other elements that keep our hair healthy. Try to avoid using heat as much as possible when styling your wig, especially when it comes to blow dryers! Blow dryers can melt the glue adhering the cap to the hair of your wig. This will cause it to fall apart. If you have to use any styling tools, put them on the least intense setting.

We hope this guide will be useful for caring for your new remy wig and enjoying it to the fullest! On our site, you’ll also find tips on how to care for synthetic wigs. For other advice and general inquiries, feel fee to contact us!

You’ve worked hard for years and it’s finally led up to this moment: your graduation day. There’s no doubt you’re fit to burst with excitement and nerves and have a bundle of responsibilities to take care of to prepare for your big day, including your hair! Most graduates want cute hair with little hassle, but what work they put in is soon ruined by their graduation cap. Luckily, we have a few tips for avoiding this unfortunate happenstance.

Plan Ahead

While it’s tempting to go all out for your graduation hairstyle, you’ll still have to keep the cap in mind. It’s one of the most important elements of your graduation day, besides your diploma, and you can’t get out of wearing it. Put some serious thought into how you want to look, how it will fit with your cap. No matter what you decide, you want to take care of any hair-related issues a week before your graduation day to make sure your style looks good with your cap.

The Weather’s Important Too!

Graduation often takes place in summer, which is the prime cause of dryness and frizzy fraying in hair. We recommend investing in sulfate free shampoo, which will help preserve your hair’s moisture. Additionally, you want leave in conditioner for a similar purpose. Leave in conditioner both adds in extra moisture to your hair and locks it in. This will severely lower your chances of frizzy hair on your big day. Other products, such as protective sprays, will work wonders and keep your hair looking great!

Braids!

If you just aren’t up to putting a lot of effort into your hair, a quick and messy braid should be your go-to hairstyle of choice! They’re both super cute and easy to style your hair into. If you want to spice the style up, you can always turn to accessories or extensions for a bit of quick pizzazz and personality. To create this style, all you have to do is create a side part in your hair, then adjust it so it’s piled toward one side of your head. Braid from the roots of your hair downward, then tie a band around it before running your fingers through to loosen it up a little. Voila! You can now enjoy your look and your day!

Curls, Curls, Curls!

Curls are another great hairstyling option, though they take a bit of extra care to prepare for your cap. First, you want to run a brush over your curls to loosen them up properly. This will flow better with the hair hidden underneath your cap and improve how your hair looks tenfold. Consider this a general quality hair care tip from us to you!

So you’ve made the decision to buy a wig. What’s next? Well, you’ll have to pick the material you want it to be made from! There are two main wig materials: synthetic and real, or “remy.” Both of these wig types come with their own advantages and disadvantages. Which one is best for you depends upon your needs and lifestyle. Keep reading to learn about all of these factors so you can come to the best possible decision.

Synthetic Wigs

Leave in conditioner protects your wigs.

While synthetic wigs used to be made from flimsier materials, they can now be constructed to feel nearly as real as human hair! This type of wig is perfect for those who are constantly on the go. Synthetic wigs can be worn immediately. You don’t need to style them as you would a human hair wig because it’s already been styled and is designed to hold its shape for an indefinite amount of time. Best of all, you won’t have to worry about your wig losing its shape under the same circumstances human hair would. This enables you to carry on with your day and look great in the process!

Synthetic wigs, however, aren’t necessarily the best choice for those looking to style their wigs every so often. As stated before, the styles of synthetic wigs are made to last. However, they don’t have a long lifespan in general. The most you can hope to maintain your wig is six months. In order to wear a new style, you’ll either have to buy a new wig or special tools to style the wig without damaging it. Many synthetic wigs are sensitive to the heat from styling tools and will distort if exposed to it.

Remy Wigs

Remy wigs are made of human hair, meaning they’re the most lifelike you can get. They’re the perfect choice for those who want the full effect from their wig, from texture to being able to manipulate it as you please. Compared to synthetic wigs, remy wigs sport a higher price tag, but with the larger price comes greater benefits!

Due to how human hair wigs are made, with their need for stronger processing chemicals and other treatments, you will ultimately receive a much better product than you would if you bought a synthetic wig. You’ll need to invest in wig care products, such as wig shampoo and conditioner, to own a remy wig. You may want to consider leave in conditioner for its regular care. You will need to take care of it in the same way you care for your natural hair to maintain its life span. You also will have to style the wig before you can wear it. Luckily, remy wigs can be worn for more than one year, allowing you more flexibility in how you wear your wig and more longevity for your buck!

On our website, you’ll find more information on how to care for a wig. For more advice, feel free to get in touch with us! We want to help you look and feel your absolute best!

No matter your reasons, the process of choosing a wig is undoubtedly a nervous event for many. There are so many styles and options the simple act of browsing can be overwhelming. You may wonder, “What type of wig works for me? What color should I get? What style suits my face shape best? What about quality?” We fully understand your concerns! That’s why, to help you know what to look for, we’ve put together this handy shopper’s guide just for you!

Pick a Style

Before you go into any other detail of your wig shopping journey, you should first find the perfectly styled wig. You can base this judgment off a number of factors, from your facial shape to the weight of the wig to your comfort level and most importantly, your own personal preferences. You ultimately want to choose a wig that makes you both look and feel great! There are all types of lengths and textures to choose from,so don’t be afraid to experiment!

Measure Your Cap Size

After you’ve picked out the perfect style of wig for you, you want to be sure it will fit on your head! Luckily, wigs come in a wide assortment of sizes and can even be altered to fit better. You will have to do some measuring to figure out your cap size. This step will involve measuring your head to get its circumference. Be sure to start with your hairline and wrap your measuring tool around your head until you wind up back where you’ve started. This is the best way to get an accurate measurement.

What Will Your Wig Be Made From?

Be sure you use wig shampoo and conditioner.

The material of your wig is just as important as its size and style. You want only the best looking wig, as well as the most convenient type for you. Wigs can be made from two materials: synthetic or real human hair. While synthetic hair is made to feel natural, they don’t beat out human hair in that regard. Synthetic wigs are best for those on a budget and who don’t want to spend a lot of time on styling. These wigs can be worn for up to six months.

Human hair wigs will automatically look realistic and are the best option for those who want to style their wig frequently. While it’s pricier, it’s well worth the amount! Human hair wigs will keep for at least a year. No matter which wig style you choose, be sure to look into the right wig care products. Now would be a good time to invest in wig shampoo and conditioner!

What Color Will You Choose?

Color may be the last part of our guide, but its important isn’t! Wigs come in an incredible variety of colors, from bright, unnatural hues to shades identical to your natural hair color. What color you choose is up to you and your preferences.

No matter which stage of the wig buying process you’re in, we at RemySoft are here to help you! We carry a vast array of products designed to keep your new wig, including full cap and/or partial cap hair replacement, beautiful for longer. To learn more, contact us!

Do you regularly wear extensions? Are you interested in trying them out? If either of these questions fits you, have you considered trying out clip-on extensions? While they’re similar in concept and look to other forms of hair extensions, there are a number of advantages you’ll receive with clip-ons that you won’t get with any other variety. In this blog, you’ll learn all about how clip-on hair extensions can boost your style. Maybe you’ll decide to make the switch!

Clip-on Hair Extensions Aren’t as Harmful

You probably have a certain image in mind when you think of extensions, and that image is damage—split ends, decayed edges and otherwise destroyed hair follicles where the extensions attach. However, properly attached clip-on extensions are far from harmful to your hair and can actually help protect your hair while you wear them. The way clip-ons are made keeps them from weighing down too heavily on your hair. This enables your natural hair to remain in the same condition as it was when you first put in the extensions.

Clip-on Hair Extensions Are Flexible

Hair extensions can create beautiful styles.

Clip-ons give you all the benefits of growing your hair out with none of the hassle or fretting over proper long hair care! You can simply clip them in and go on with your day in style, no matter what kind of style you’re going for! One of the best parts of wearing clip-on hair extensions is they work with every occasion. No matter what hair style you decide to try with your extensions, you’re guaranteed to have total freedom. How you wear your extensions is entirely up to you!

Clip-on Hair Extensions Are Easy to Take Care Of

You won’t have to book a salon appointment to wear your clip-ons, making them a valuable time saver if you’re constantly on the go! You won’t even have to sacrifice your trusty sulfate free shampoo because they can be removed before the washing process and stored far more easily. Wearing your clip-ons will literally be a snap thanks to its easy installation and ability to manipulate and arrange each strand exactly as you wish.

Clip-on Hair Extensions Make You Look Beautiful

The most appealing part of clip-on extensions for many is the access it grants to having literally any hairstyle, texture and type you could ever wish for. Longing for the perfect curls? Buy a set of gorgeous, spiraling extensions! Struggling with thin hair and wishing for a thicker ‘do? You can either layer your extensions or buy a thicker variety to blend into your hair as you please! The possibilities are absolutely endless.

Through the RemySoft online store, we have all the products you need to keep your all-natural clip-on hair extensions in good shape. We even have tips on how to care for hair extensions for the first-time buyer. To learn how else we can help you have excellent hair, contact us!

Whether it’s from college or high school, graduating is an exciting time for both you and your family. Congratulations! We know how hard you’ve worked for this day. In the midst of all the preparations you’re undergoing for graduation, you may not want to invest too much time into the perfect hairstyle for your big day. We have some cute, simple styles to consider wearing to your ceremony, all so you can focus less on how you look and tend to other important, graduation-related matters!

Colored Hair

While you don’t necessarily want to launch a full-blown dye job just before graduation day, temporary dye can be just the thing to give your hair a little pop underneath your graduation cap. Be sure you use a shade that doesn’t clash with whatever color your robe will be. You want to stand out, but in a good way! Furthermore, you won’t need much styling beyond this because the new coloring takes care of the rest. Wear your hair loose with dip-dyed ends and make a great final impression as you walk across the stage!

Tossed to One Side

This look is great for people with short hair who don’t have a lot of options as far as styling or don’t want to invest in shiny hair extensions. We’ve got you! All this style takes is parting your hair a little differently from the norm and sweeping it all so it curtains one side of your face. You might want to add a touch of product to enhance your hair’s beautiful sheen and make sure it doesn’t tousle out of place.

Pinned Back

This style is great for afro-textured hair, as well as straight, and is adorably elegant. Simply comb or brush your hair out however you typically would, usinghair products for remy hair to help your curls sit at their fullest, ease back each side of your hair and then stick pins into it to hold it in place. Everyone will be able to make out your smile as you accept your diploma!

A Voluminous Twist-Out

This style is for afro-textured, natural hair only! Start off by twisting your hair for the night as you typically would, doing so with your entire scalp. The next morning you can take them down and sport a gorgeous twist-out for the day. If your graduation cap won’t quite fit over your hair, you can just pin it carefully down.

We hope these style suggestions will be of use as you plan for your big day. At RemySoft, we want to help you invest in quality hair care no matter the occasion! For more suggestions, as well as access to our selection of hair products for remy hair, contact us!

When it comes to the summer months, you can’t beat the “classic” activities, such as going out with friends, getting a tan and heading out for a refreshing swim to escape the heat. Swimming is an especially popular pastime, but it isn’t without its drawbacks. If you have to rely on a pool for your swimming needs, you’ll inevitably be exposed to chlorine, the chemical poured into pool water to keep it sterile and suitable for swimming in the first place. While chlorine works wonders as far as allowing you to enjoy the pool, it isn’t so good for your hair. In this article, we’ll go over how to protect your hair from chlorine or soothe any existing damage you’ve already amassed from taking a dip in the past.

How Does Chlorine Work?

As stated above, the purpose of chlorine is to keep swimming pools sanitary for swimming by purifying it and protecting it against bacterial breeches introduced by the mass of human bodies that enter the pool on a regular basis. The chemicals within chlorine are incredibly strong as a result. One of the jobs of chlorine, in particular, is to eliminate the presence of oil in the water—and guess what our hair produces on a regular and natural basis?

If you’re a frequent swimmer, you want to exercise even more caution when going for a swim. Continually stripping the oils from your hair can cause all kinds of harm, including breakage, dryness and many other issues. If your hair is already bleached, it is even more vulnerable to chlorine’s effects.

Helping Chlorine-Affected Hair

Hydrating shampoo can help you keep chlorine out.

If your hair is constantly tangled, losing color, fried looking and dry, it’s highly likely your hair suffers from damage caused by chlorine. In this case, you’ll need a care regimen to help restore it to its natural glory. Here are some steps you can take:

• Apply a leave in conditioner. This will help to tame the ends of your hair, as well as restore and maintain some level of moisture.
• Invest in protein treatments to restore hair health.
• Use a clarifying shampoo to get rid of any and all chlorine still remaining in your hair.
• Consult a professional to see what else can be done.

Lowering Your Risk of Damage from Chlorine

Use these tricks prior to and following a trip to the pool to limit the effects of chlorine upon your hair:

• Invest in hydrating shampoo and use it following a swim to counteract any drying effects.
• Rinse your hair with fresh, non-chlorinated water after your swim to begin getting rid of the chlorine clinging to it.
• A swimming cap is a perfect way to keep your hair safe, especially if you frequent the swimming pool.
• Soak your hair with regular water prior to your pool trip. This will limit the amount of chlorine that can enter your hair.

No matter the amount of exposure your hair has to chlorine, it will help tremendously to use sulfate free shampoo and conditioner to keep your hair sleek and healthy during the summer months. For any other hair related concerns, contact us! We’re here to help!

We know what an exciting season summer can be! Most people have more time to spare, often enough to enjoy fanciful outings with friends and family and take some time for themselves to relax. The only downside? The effect the summertime has on your hair! Even the most docile of locks are prone to frizz, dryness and other nastiness unlike any other time of year. If you’re trying to keep your hair tame and cute over the summer, you may want a bit of help. Here are some great style suggestions to try as you’re out and about this summer!

The Vintage Ponytail

This particular hairstyle is sure to work for everyone, especially if your hair type is naturally prone to annoying frizziness. For once, this unfortunate trait works in your favor because it will lend your ponytail some quite desirable body. The best way to approach this style is after a fresh wash. Separate your hair by parting it down the center of your scalp, then use your trusty blow dryer. After this, you can roll your hair up with your roller set of choice and keep it this way until you’re ready to go out for the day. The ideal version of this look is a ponytail kept low and the crown of the head brushed slick and smooth. This hairstyle works great with the application of a hair extension set!

A Fishtail Braid

Leave in conditioner keeps your hair smooth.

This style is perfect for anyone on the go who doesn’t have a lot of time to fiddle with their hair in the mirror or anyone who has no plans to hang out and just wants a hairstyle to chill out in. Ideally, you want to work with hair that hasn’t been washed as recently. This will help your braid hold better and be easier to braid.

The Side Braid

Sun protection for hair is important for summer styles.

This hairstyle is simple and effective for an outing. It keeps your hair out of your face and away from your neck, maximizing the coolness potential. Pair with a hat for the ultimate sun protection for hair! To wear this style, braid your hair as normal, then use a hair tie the same color as your hair to secure it. You can make this style a bit messy if you like by letting some of your hair fall away on the opposite side of your head to frame your face. Consider wearing this style for a fun summer date and impress that special someone with this incredibly cute look!

We hope these hairstyle suggestions will help you as you’re out and about this summer. We guarantee you’ll not only be able to stay cool, but look adorable while doing it! Be sure to take care of your hair by keeping it moisturized. Our leave in conditioner is a great way to prevent your hair from drying out too much. Contact us to learn how else you can care for your hair this season!

What could be more fun than summer vacation? With its plentiful outings filled with sun, surf, sand, free time and bonding with friends and loved ones, the summer season is an incredibly enjoyable time for almost everyone…except your hair. While you may enjoy the heat and sunshine, it presents a major hazard to your hair that’s difficult to rectify once the season ends. Too much heat exposure causes damaged and dry hair, which leads to breakage and other problems that could potentially destroy all the hard work you’ve invested into your hair. Luckily, there are ways to protect your tresses throughout the season.

Check Your Brushing Habits

A low-quality brush can be worse than no brush at all. The ideal brush sports boar bristles, which help to manage moisture in your hair by spreading it evenly and easily. If you’re working with your hair while it’s wet, it’s better to stick to a comb with wide teeth because this is less likely to yank out your hair than a brush will. Wet hair is prone to breakage, and brushes are often too rough on the strands while they’re in this state.

Protect Your Hair Against the Elements

Sun protection for hair is critical in the summer.

When you’re facing extreme temperatures, a great conditioner can work wonders for your hair. It can help to keep moisture from seeping too deeply into your hair, along with the help of a cap. There are a number of products you can turn to for sun protection for hair, including sprays. Hats are another great option for those on a budget and easy to coordinate with your summer wardrobe! Sunlight and its UV rays can easily sap the moisture from your hair, which means it will need all the help it can get! A hydrating shampoo will be equally useful for protecting your hair.

Don’t Overdo It With Your Styling Tools!

We know what a lifesaver your curling and/or flat irons can be, especially on those days your hair refuses to cooperate. However, artificial heat is damaging to hair and, when combined with natural heat from the summer sun, can pack quite a detrimental wallop! Consider styling your hair differently from time to time by wearing it up in a bun or some other low-maintenance style. It will be easy on your hair and cute enough to wear on a day out! Alternatively, if you must use heat, adjust the temperature lower. Ionic tools can be helpful as well because they work with the water in your hair to style it and trap moisture within it, which can safeguard your hair against the heat. No matter what you decide to do with your hair, be sure to apply a heat protectant to it as a safeguard!

Summer is perhaps one of the toughest months for hair. The sun constantly bears its heat down on your scalp, drying it from the roots down and brittling it, sometimes with more than disappointing results. It’s during this time of year you’ll want to be the most invested in maintaining quality hair care because heat damage is one of the easiest and most common ways to harm your hair. We have gathered some tips on how to keep your hair as safe as possible over the summer without having to rely too heavily on hair care products.

Lighten Up Your Brushing Routine!

This tip goes for managing wet hair. Wet hair breaks easily, which can lead to all kinds of damage, especially if you’re using tools that are naturally more rigorous on your hair. If you’re about to detangle, you don’t want to use anything that will tug on your hair too much. Wide toothed combs are the best solution for your detangling routine. They’re less likely to yank on your tangles and cause damage.

Rinse With a Hot Oil Treatment

Plant-based oils, such as avocado and coconut, are the most nourishing for your hair because they’re the easiest for your strands to absorb. After you finish your first shampooing, take some oil and apply it thoroughly to your hair. After rinsing, you can then carry on with the rest of your washing routine and apply conditioner. This method will trap valuable moisture into your hair, which will keep it from becoming too brittle from all the summer heat. This treatment best works in combination with sulfate free shampoo and conditioner, which also preserves hair moisture.

There’s a Better Way to Eliminate Chlorine from Your Hair

Quality hair care is an absolute must this summer.

The biggest downside to going to the pool is the havoc it wreaks upon your hair. Anyone with lighter hair colors will find their locks marred with hideous green streaks that are difficult to remove. If this has happened to you, we have a solution! Prior to taking a swim, wet your hair thoroughly. This will prevent so much chlorine from entering the strands. Once you’re done, use two cups’ worth of plain water and one-quarter of a cup of apple cider vinegar to rinse your hair while it’s still wet. Problem solved!

Cut Down on How Often You Wash

While washing your hair makes for great hygienic practices, it harms your hair by removing too much of the natural oils it needs to remain healthy and protected. Rather than washing every time you shower, try dry shampoos and performing a simple shower rinse to take care of any oiliness. Only wash your hair enough to keep it from getting too grungy and be sure to take advantage of leave in conditioner when you do decide to wash. Your hair will thank you!
