			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;ve just added over 100 hair pieces to our catalog so anyone who&#8217;s been waiting for their color to become available should head on over and check out our fully stocked inventory. You&#8217;ll probably notice we&#8217;ve cut the prices on all of our hair systems by $30.00. Now you can get our same great stock hair systems for just $145.00!</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve all had it pretty rough due to the state of the economy these days, and we think this holiday season our customers should be spending more of their money on their loved ones &#8211; not on their hair! That&#8217;s why, until the end of the year, we&#8217;ve decided to reduce the price across the board on all of our stock hair pieces.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve also added a new custom stock option. For just $175, choose from any of our stock base models and fully customize it. This includes hair length, hair style, hair color, density, base size and body wave. Basically you&#8217;ll get a full custom hair replacement for the price of stock! These pieces currently take about 4-6 weeks to deliver so order yours today and have it in time for the holidays!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The biggest mistake hair wearers make when removing their <a href="http://linkedwords.com/shopping/sports/apparel/caps-and-hats/hair-loss-cover/hair_replacement_systems.php">hair replacement systems</a> is pulling the whole thing off. Even if your tape has broken down you should always use remover during this process. A little remover on a cotton swab or pad applied to the edge of the tape area works wonders. Gently work the swab or pad around the edge of your system breaking the adhesion bond without pulling the tape off your skin. Starting in the back gently remove your system rolling it forward until you reach the front edge. Using the remover in this process will not only keep your tabs in better shape by eliminating stress, it will also protect your skin. Think about removing a band aid. A quick pull will keep the sting down but it will also take hair and skin cells with it—which seems counter productive to me.</p>
<p>Once your system is removed you may begin the cleaning and total tape removal process.</p>
<p>For the sake of your skin and the integrity of your system PLEASE use remover for all aspects of your removal and cleaning process of tape tabs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Begin by brushing your wig to remove any tangles. When brushing always start at the tips of the hair and work your way up to the front. This way you aren’t brushing any tangles through other tangles and avoid hair breakage. Once you have your wig thoroughly brushed hold it by the front edge and wet under a low pressure stream of lukewarm water. Once your wig is completely wet put a small amount of shampoo into the palm of your hand and emulsify with water. Starting at the tips of the hair begin lathering by pressing the shampoo into the hair. Avoid any rubbing or scrubbing while shampooing. Work your way up to the front of your wig and press the shampoo into the base of the wig. Continue to massage the shampoo through the wig. When you feel your wig is clean hold by the front again and rinse thoroughly at least 3 minutes to assure all the shampoo has been rinsed from the hair and especially the base material. You may want to repeat the shampooing process one more time to assure all residues and buildup is removed from the base of your wig. If you find areas that are stubborn use a “SOFT” bristle tooth brush in those areas to loosen the build up.</p>
<p>When conditioning with a rinse out conditioner, apply the conditioner in the same manner as the shampoo avoiding the base of your wig. Conditioner should only be applied and massaged into the hair and the ends are the most important area to concentrate on. Allow the conditioner to stay on the hair for a minimum of 3 minutes and rinse thoroughly for a minimum of 3 minutes. It is essential that you remove as much conditioner from the base as possible so try not to get any conditioner on the base at all.</p>
<p>Once your wig is cleaned and conditioned place it on a clean absorbent towel and gently roll the wig into the towel pressing to remove any excess moisture. Remove from the towel, hold by the front and gently shake the wig to fluff the hair. Using a broad brush or wide tooth comb starting at the tips of the hair go through your wig to smooth and remove any tangles there may be. Once you’ve combed through the hair shake the wig again to fluff the hair.</p>
<p>It’s best to place your wet wig on an open wig stand as opposed to a Styrofoam or canvas wig block. This allows your wig and base to dry completely. If using a hair dryer, we recommend an Ionic dryer and dry the wig holding the front and working the dryer through the hair as well as the base. You shouldn’t dry completely with the dryer. Leave the wig slightly damp and continue to air dry.</p>
<p>If you use a tape tab for tape or adhesive be sure to wipe these areas with alcohol before applying tape to assure all conditioner residue is removed from the tape tab areas.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You want to start your off the head cleaning with removing any tape, adhesive and residue from the tape tabs, base, lace front and hair.</p>
<p>Always use Adhesive remover when removing tape from the tape tab area. Even if you have a durable heavier tape tab, it will allow the tape to be easily removed eliminating any chance of damage to your system this is particularly important with all skin systems. We also recommend soaking your system in our Yellow Cleaner/Conditioner. This is a safe and effective all natural product that effectively breaks down the adhesives and loosens any residue in the mesh, lace or hair. To get that stubborn accumulation from your system use a “SOFT” bristle tooth brush and gently brush the residue away from the base and hair.</p>
<p>Once the tape, adhesive and residue have been removed, add a capful of shampoo to a basin or plastic container. Add lukewarm water and emulsify the shampoo in the water. Place your system base side up in the basin and gently swish in the soapy water. You may let your system sit for several minutes if you wish. (We suggest you repeat this procedure 2 to 3 times to assure all the cleaner/conditioner or solvent has been removed from the system) Rinse your system under lukewarm running water for at least 3 minutes and check to be sure all adhesive and solvent residues have been removed. Repeat the washing of your system if necessary.</p>
<p>If you choose to use rinse out conditioner, add a capful to your clean basin. Fill with water and emulsify the conditioner. Allow your system to soak for a minimum of 3 minutes and rinse thoroughly.</p>
<p>(When rinsing, hold your system by the front and allow a low pressure stream of water flow from the bottom of the base through the hair.)</p>
<p>Place your clean system on a clean absorbent towel and gently roll the towel with the system inside to remove excess water. Holding the system by the front of the base gently wave in the air to fluff the hair. You can then apply leave in conditioner and any styling product you choose. Gently brush into your desired style and let air dry if possible.</p>
<p>Before re-applying your tape or adhesive you may want to wipe the tape tab with a small amount of alcohol to remove any conditioner residue that may be on your tabs. This will allow for your attachment to work at its optimum.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It can’t be durable and natural at the same time&#8230; FALSE.</p>
<p>While you can easily achieve a more natural appearance with a system that is made with lighter more delicate materials it is not impossible to get the same result with a more durable construction.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hair-necessities.com">Hair replacements</a> being made today use a variety of base materials. Recently the trend has gone towards “Program Hair” meaning you have several units, change them frequently and throw away the system when it’s time to change to a new one. What this means is that the hair retailers in the recent past demanded that the manufacturers make products that were lighter, thinner and most importantly they wanted them cheaper and faster. This is where the breakdown begins.</p>
<p>If you require cheaper products manufactured at a faster rate, something has to give, and that’s quality. Once the retailers started getting their cheaper faster systems in they discovered that without the quality they had only one option and that was to sell the consumer more products. Keep them “addicted” to hair and get there hands on your credit card so they could keep charging you monthly whether you needed service or a new system or NOT. Great gimmick!!</p>
<p>This is what has trapped so many into programs where the retailer holds the customer&#8217;s additional <a href="http://www.hair-necessities.com/hair-replacement/">hair replacements</a> hostage to keep the customer&#8217;s business. Here&#8217;s the funny part &#8211; many of those retailers are still buying your systems one or at best two at a time. It’s your monthly fee that is paying for each new system you’ll require. In our 25+ years of working with retailers, the number who have actually ordered more than 3 systems at a time for a client is next to none. They just don’t do it.</p>
<p>If your hair replacement provider tells you your hair piece is custom, take it with a grain of salt. Most all program hair is stock and readily available for immediate delivery from one of the big wholesalers. Fast and cheap. These systems aren’t made to last longer than 30 to 60 days. Implanted hair and loops fall out like your own growing hair. They look great, for a while, but they aren’t intended for long term wear. We see this most frequently in Skin units as they are most susceptible to breaking down more rapidly than their mesh base counterparts.</p>
<p>If you want durability and a natural look we can give it to you. You won’t be using some of the materials they say are necessary for a natural look, but we’re certain you’ll be happy with the end result. It’s all a matter of taking your desires and your lifestyle into consideration and working with you to give you what you want and need. Remember the two areas that are most important for a natural look are the front of the <a href="http://www.hair-necessities.com/hair-replacement/">hair replacement</a> and the blending areas. Give us a call or email us. We can help.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Choosing between long term <a href="http://www.hair-necessities.com">hair pieces</a> and disposable <a href="http://www.hair-necessities.com">hair pieces</a> is a personal choice usually based on financial and esthetic reasons. Throw Away systems are very thin and light weight and are generally made with very light ventilation or looping methods and usually are made using thin polyurethane skin or lace. They are made to NOT hold up for more than 1 to 3 months. While I personally feel that throw away systems are simply poor quality cheap systems that require they be tossed after a short period of wear they are viable and there are many out there wanting this type of system. We will gladly produce this type of product for anyone interested in a monthly system change.</p>
<p>Longevity from a <a href="http://www.hair-necessities.com/hair-replacement/">hair piece</a> is really kind of a relative concept. Our basic stock systems while originally designed for Program Selling have a pretty good life expectancy. We’ve found from our customers that based on lifestyle and care of the system our stock pieces have been found to last anywhere from 6 months to a year. The reason is the quality of the production. However, longevity for many means the system should last for one to two years or more. If longevity is a requirement we can definitely build a system for that and would suggest <a href="http://www.hair-necessities.com/hair-replacement/nextgen-fiber-hair-pieces.html">NextGen™ fiber</a> is added to any system in which longevity is the main requirement.</p>
<p>Another important factor to the longevity of any hair system is the application and wear of the system. If you are permanently or semi permanently attached and keep you hair on your head 24 hours a day and 5 to 21 days at a time we strongly suggest you have 2 systems. One way to accomplish this is to have an old system repaired and refurbished while a new system is being made. You’ll get a lot of mileage with your hair system by switching it with another each time you need to re-attach. Think of it this way: how would your underwear hold up if you wore the same pair 24 hours a day for 5 to 21 days at a time took it off, cleaned it and put it back on for another 5 to 21 days? UGLY THOUGHT isn’t it?? Having 2 systems at all times has many benefits the most important being that when you do switch you can really thoroughly clean your other system. Even the retailers don’t have this luxury and I can assure you after wearing your hair for an extended period of time it will require more than an half hour to do a proper cleaning and I would anticipate up to 24 hours due to the need to soak the system in cleaner to remove all residue from the hair and base. Check out our 2nd system savings and <a href="http://www.hair-necessities.com/hair-replacement/hair-repair.html">hair repair</a> service for more info.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Choosing between a <a href="http://www.hair-necessities.com/cart/Hair-Replacement-Systems-c2/">human hair piece</a> and a <a href="http://www.hair-necessities.com/hair-replacement/nextgen-fiber-hair-pieces.html">synthetic hair piece</a> is really a personal choice although sometimes because of hair color the options may be limited. Most people would prefer human hair simply because it is a natural and we can relate to it. However, if you have a great deal of gray hair, synthetic is best used for the gray because of its appearance and if you need to color your system the synthetic fiber won’t take the hair color. Synthetic is also being used for highlight colors and blended with human hair to keep the weight of a system down. Synthetic fiber is lighter weight than human hair so for the look of heavy density without the weight often a blend of human hair and synthetic will be used. Right now there is an upcoming shortage of human hair on the horizon. This is a fact through out the industry and will become a reality in the future.</p>
<p>We are fortunate to have our <a href="http://www.hair-necessities.com/hair-replacement/nextgen-fiber-hair-pieces.html">NextGen™ fiber</a> ready for this future situation and find that blending NextGen™ with human hair creates an unbelievable touch and feel along with ease of styling, quick drying and durability without the bulk of increased density to the system. It is truly the best of both worlds. Ask us about <a href="http://www.hair-necessities.com/hair-replacement/nextgen-fiber-hair-pieces.html">NextGen™ fiber</a> when you call we’d be happy to tell you how this innovation can work for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Generally speaking if you’re online looking for <a href="http://www.hair-necessities.com">hair replacement</a> options you are probably already wearing a hair system. If you’re happy with your current system, it gives you the look and feel you want then don’t change a thing we’ll be happy to duplicate your current <a href="http://www.hair-necessities.com">hair piece</a> just as it is. However, if you’re new to this process or you feel you’re current <a href="http://www.hair-necessities.com">hair piece</a> is not “performing” the way you’d like then there are a few things to take into consideration when ordering.</p>
<p>On an individual level ask yourself the following questions:</p>
<p>Lifestyle—are you at the gym 3 to 7 days a week or are you more of a couch potato?</p>
<p>Because you are making the system a part of you this is important to determine what type of base material and attachment method will best hold up to frequent showering and heavy perspiration. As a couch potato you have unlimited options because a sedentary lifestyle does very little damage to any type of base.</p>
<p>Employment&#8211;are you in an office all day or do you work outside?  Do you wear a hat or a head set?</p>
<p>A guy in a hard hat has a few more issues to address than a guy in a suit with regards to base material, fiber/hair choice even density.</p>
<p>Financial—do you want to replace your <a href="http://www.hair-necessities.com/cart/Hair-Replacement-Systems-c2/">hair replacement system</a> every 3 to 6 months, every month or once a year to 18 months?</p>
<p>This question will definitely determine your selection. We can just as easily make a <a href="http://www.hair-necessities.com/hair-replacement/">hair piece</a> to last one month using very thin skin with looped hair as make a system with a strong Polyester base, a solid tape tab and 2 to 3 hair ventilation.</p>
<p>Hair Style—do you want a natural look or are you prone to a more styled look?</p>
<p>Certain hair styles will require different base materials. If you want your hair to look like you just got out of the shower, pushed the hair in place and you’re out the door, you can utilize a more varied selection options but if you must have a definite part that shows skin, a crew cut or off the face style it is important to choose the base construction that will best suit your requirements.</p>
<p>All of this being said it’s impossible for us to tell you what is right for you simply by putting these questions out there. We strongly suggest you utilize our free phone consultation service and let’s discuss your options. Often in the course of this discussion we can come up with a myriad of options and suggestions you may not have ever thought about we’ll even be happy to help you choose a hair style based on your face shape and features if you feel you need a change. Since we’re all individuals there are no pat answers but we’ll be happy to make available to you our years of experience in design to help you create a <a href="http://www.hair-necessities.com/hair-replacement/">hair replacement system</a> that looks right for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Virtually all the hair being used in <a href="http://www.hair-necessities.com">hair pieces</a> available on the net and in the salons is processed hair. There are several reasons for “Processed” hair. First, the hair used in productions comes from many heads. The hair must be treated to reduce or flatten the cuticle. The typical technique is an acid wash that causes the cuticle to flatten to the hair shaft. With the cuticle flattened it is less likely to catch on other hairs causing extreme tangling. It is impossible to remove the cuticle as this is the protective layer of the hair shaft not unlike our own skin.</p>
<p>The newest method of flattening the cuticle is the use of Silicone based products. Silicone on the hair shaft fills the cuticle and damaged hair and protects it. The silicone used is more concentrated than the hair care products you’ll find available in the salon and will remain on the hair for an extended period of time. It will however eventually wash off. This is why you sometimes get a <a href="http://www.hair-necessities.com/hair-replacement/nextgen-fiber-hair-pieces.html">hair replacement system</a> that’s ok for awhile then suddenly after a washing, tangles. Silicone is almost always used after acid wash to give the hair a smooth silky feel and greater shine.</p>
<p>Processed hair also includes bleaching, dying and chemical waving (Perms). 99.9% of human hair used in production comes from China and India. Generally the hair most suited in China comes from regions where the diet consists more of wheat products than rice products. The growing hair in these regions has more characteristics found in European hair, meaning it is softer and has a thinner diameter than hair coming from other regions of China where the hair is straighter, thicker and generally very straight.</p>
<p>The hair used comes in basically 3 shades—Black, Blacker and Blackest. In order to meet the demand of the Western market this black hair has to be bleached down to get the myriad of colors of hair found in the Western world. For the darkest colors generally you’ll find 100% Indian hair is used. There is enough color difference in Indian hair to accommodate all dark shades with minimal bleaching. Indian hair is more like Caucasian hair in diameter and wave. For dark red and brown colors the will have a combination of Indian and Asian hair. While the hair undergoes more bleaching than the dark shades the inclusion of the Asian hair helps to buffer the chemical treatments required and the two types of hair become more Caucasian in appearance.</p>
<p>For the Lightest shades of Blonde and Red it is almost exclusively Chinese hair that is used. The reason for this is that the Chinese hair can be bleached to a higher level than Indian hair. If the factories were to bleach Indian hair to the level needed for the lightest blonde colors the hair would turn to MUSH. Chinese hair once bleached to the highest level becomes softer and more accepting to color and perms. However, this is the most delicate color range to work with. The amount of hair lost to High Level colors is tremendous which is why it is sometimes more expensive to obtain a product with very light colored hair.</p>
<p>This is an incredibly huge subject but let’s just say that Processed hair is the norm, it’s probably in your current <a href="http://www.hair-necessities.com/hair-replacement/">hair replacement</a> and it is designed to make your life easier by eliminating the negatives connected with Cuticle / Virgin hair.</p>
