It’s shocking how many men have been misinformed of the proper ways to care for their hair. Let’s take a few minutes to address the top 5 hair myths for men.

Myth 1: Cut your hair often for faster growth

Unfortunately, this contradiction makes for an impossible outcome. If you are going for a relaxed long hairstyle, cutting it will only delay your hair’s ability to grow freely. While the ability to grow hair fast or slowly is a hereditary trait, consider your overall health first. Improving your diet and increasing your water intake are great first steps toward quality hair care and will help your locks grow long.

Myth 2: Lather, rinse, repeat!

While it may be on every shampoo bottle to “lather, rinse, and repeat”, this suggestion works best when the product is used occasionally rather than daily. Unless your job requires you to spend significant time in the elements, washing your hair or hair system every day is unnecessary and may cause hair to dry out over time.    

Myth 3: For shinier hair, rinse with cold water

This age-old myth goes unsupported in science, with no proof of its claims. Rinsing with cold water will only leave you with cold, wet hair. If you want to restore your hair system’s shine, switch to RemySoft’s sulfate free shampoo and conditioner. With fewer chemicals contributing to damaged follicles, your hair will be renewed and restored. 

Myth 4: Blow drying is bad for your hair. Air-dry only!

It’s true that applying high heat to your hair daily can contribute to dry or brittle locks, but don’t throw out your hairdryer just yet. Air-drying each day may, in fact, introduce some unwanted problems with your do. The best remedy is to allow your hair to partially air-dry, apply a heat protector prior to blow-drying, or simply use a lower heat setting on your hairdryer.

Myth 5: Covering your hair with gel or a hat causes hair loss

Hairstyling gel may contribute to dry hair problems, and wearing a hat will most definitely flatten your do, but these two things will not cause hair loss. What may cause hair loss is stress, a nutritional deficiency, aging, or even an illness. Please consult with a doctor if you have any of these medical concerns, but rest assured it is not related to your go-to hair gel or your favorite baseball cap.

Hair extensions can help you create a number of fun holiday hair styles.

With the winter approaching, there may be many holiday parties and family get-togethers on your to-do list. You’ve got beautiful hair extensions, but you want to spice things up with different styles from time to time. If you want to look your best for every event, take note of the following holiday hair trends.

Soft Waves

If you’re looking for old Hollywood glamour that never goes out of style, try ribbon curls. For a style that will last all day and night, set your hair extensions in hot rollers and use a curling iron for some final touches. Then gently brush your hair out into beautiful, flowing waves.

Sparkle Bright

A shiny or sparkly hair accessory can be a great way to add some fun and personality to any hair system. A jeweled or sparkly clip or barrette looks great with an updo. However, you don’t want this to look too put together. Keeping your hair a little tousled and loose will help show off your fun mood.

High Bun

Do you know how to take a bun from boring to fun? Put it high on your head. Then it goes from a lazy hairstyle to chic and dressy. Use some hairspray or hair products for remy hair to make it shine and smooth fly-aways.

Breezy Blowout

A glamorous blowout will have everyone envying your hair extensions. It’s a simple style, but it makes a bold statement. Just about anyone can achieve a perfect bouncy blowout. Simply use a paddle brush to eliminate frizz while blow drying your hair. Then use a curling iron on the ends.

Over the Shoulder

If you want a more elegant look, sweep your long hair extensions over one shoulder. To keep the hair in place, twist back a section of hair behind your ear. Then use pins to secure it and hairspray for hold and shine.

Simple Side Part

A side part is an easy way to draw attention to your hair and only takes a few minutes to do. To create this simple, yet striking look, draw a deep side part a few inches above your ear.

Va Va Volume

Make people take a second look by enhancing your blowout with a lot of volume. To add volume to your ‘do, simply tease the under section of your hair. Then use a round brush to smooth out the top.

Pomp It Up

You probably have seen many celebs and fashionistas rocking pompadour hairstyles. You don’t have to spend hours in the salon to get this look. First, you need some oversized curls. To achieve the curls, simply set your hair in large rollers. After you remove the rollers, pile up most of your hair into a twist. Leave only the top section wavy and loose.

Pretty Ponytail

It is easy to go from day to night with a ponytail. For a bit of glamour, you can pull the sides tight and slick. Then leave a little bit of volume on top.

Offering wig shampoo or conditioner can better serve all your customers.

Hair weaves, wigs and extensions are big business. If you’re a hairstylist or beauty supply store owner, you may want to devise and recommend a quality hair system to your customers who wear remy hair. One way to do so is by selling remy hair care products, such as wig shampoo and conditioner. Getting your hair care product business off the ground doesn’t have to be difficult. Here are a few points you need to know to get started.

Research Wholesalers

Many wholesalers are looking for vendors to sell their products. Check the terms and conditions and look for special offers. Many have an active Internet presence so this can be a good way to find them. Some wholesalers will permit you to start selling free of charge. Others will require you to register as a distributor. In this case, you will have to pay a fee, which will give you access to sales support and marketing materials.

Check Their Reputation

As you narrow down your list of prospects, look for online reviews from resellers. You want to know if the wholesaler is reliable and provides timely stock. If you can locate other vendors, reach out to them and see if they will provide feedback; however, if you’re a brick-and-mortar retailer, you should contact vendors in other states so they don’t view you as competition. Also, consult with the attorney general’s office where the wholesaler is located to make sure no complaints have been filed.

Place Your Order

Order your remy hair care products, such as wig shampoo and conditioner, from the wholesaler. Make sure you understand any requirements, such as the number of products you need to order to maintain your reselling ability. Select products that will enable you to promote a logical hair system for your customers. If you are unsure what to order, seek recommendations from the wholesaler and other vendors.

Get Tech Savvy

You should have an online presence, even if you have an existing salon or shop. A website highlighting your best shampoo and conditioner for extensions will be seen by potential customers around the world. Set up accounts and become proficient in social media as well. Your tech-savvy, smartphone-using customers will appreciate the ability to interact with you on Twitter and Facebook.

Promote Your Business

There are a large number of ways to promote your business online. Social media can help with this. You can also buy online ads. There is also the good old word of mouth. If you have an existing salon or beauty supply store, tell your regular customers about the new wig shampoo and conditioner you have for sale.

Whether you’re a hairstylist or retailer, it is highly likely you deal with hair weaves, wigs and extensions. When you become a remy hair care product vendor, you not only enhance your customers’ hair system, you increase your bottom line.

A hair system can transform your look.

Whether you are looking to change your hair style or cover hair loss from a medical condition, wigs are a great option to help you look your best. With so many styles and options to choose from, it can be difficult to make the best decision. If you are looking for the right full cap hair replacement, there are some things to keep in mind to make your decision easier.

Material

Wigs are available in many varieties, including full cap hair replacement made from either human hair or synthetic materials. There are several differences between the two hair system types:

• Human hair can be colored and styled with hot tools capable of damaging synthetic fibers
• Synthetic wigs are more affordable than human hair
• Human hair wigs are more susceptible to rain and humidity
• Synthetic wigs do not provide the same natural look as human hair

Depending on how you will use your hair, you may want to look into either option for your full cap hair replacement. For example, if you are only using your wig for a short time, it might not be worth paying for a human hair wig.

Cap Options

To get the most comfortable fit, select the best cap for your needs. Caps can either include hand stitched options, or you can even choose a wig without a cap. Capless hair systems use a honey comb design and offer better ventilation.

Anchoring

To ensure your full cap hair replacement does not fall off, it’s important to get a wig with a well-designed anchoring system. Options for anchors include:

• Straps
• Fasteners
• Tape tabs

Some options are more comfortable for different wearers so make sure you try each option before making your choice.

Weight

Different wigs can weigh more or less, depending on the size, material and length. Human hair wigs weigh more than synthetic hair systems, and long wigs can be heavier as well. Because wig weight is important in determining comfort, try different styles to ensure the one you select won’t be too heavy and hurt your neck or head.

A full cap hair replacement can often be your best choice.

If you are looking for a full or partial cap hair replacement to add to your existing style or cover medically related hair loss, choosing the right wig may seem confusing and difficult. With so many options available, you may struggle to narrow down all of your hair enhancement options. To make the best decision for your new hair, there are a few things to consider.

Face Shape

Before you begin to consider the color or material for your hair system, it’s important to know your face shape so you can choose the best look. When choosing a wig, consider the following face shapes:

• Oval: Most hair styles look great on oval faces
• Square: Longer wigs with many layers
• Oblong: Curly wigs
• Heart shaped: Chin length wigs

If you don’t know your face shape, use your measurements to determine which wig would look best on you. Wig experts can also help you determine which hair enhancement would best highlight your features.

Lifestyle

It’s important to consider your lifestyle, hobbies and profession when choosing a full cap hair replacement. If you work in a professional office, you may need to consider natural colors, rather than bright, unnatural looks. For those who work in the heat or humid environments, full or partial cap replacements made from human hair can easily lose their style; synthetic hair may be a better choice in this case. You should also consider how much you’ll need to touch your wig. If you go to the gym every day and need to put your hair up, for example, you might want to look for wigs that are easily styled on the go.

Fitting

One of the most important factors when choosing a hair system is fit. Wigs that are too large or small for your head fall off easily, which could be embarrassing for everyone involved. To avoid such mishaps, measure your own head or seek the advice of a wig expert to make sure your hair enhancement fits properly and won’t cause any problems.

Color

With so many style options available for full cap hair replacement, it’s essential to find the color that looks the best on your skin tone. Consider the natural color of your hair, eyebrows and eyes to find the perfect match for you.
