Beyonce's Short Bang!

Photo Credit: http://nymag.com

Now I know I'm late but I figured I'd give my two cents since I'm a wigmaker. In my opinion and I know some of you are going to disagree with me on this, but I think the short bang worked for her. Am I saying that this is her best look? No. Am I saying this is a good look for other people to have a short bang like hers? No. But I do think it worked for her because
1. She got everybody's attention
2. She got everybody's attention off her daughter, Blue Ivy.

Beyonce' is a smart girl and she knows what she is doing. Everybody always talking about her daughter's hair and I think this was her way of saying no, how about y'all take y'all attention off my child and talk about my hair. Or maybe she just simply wanted a shorter bang. Either way, she still wins because everybody was talking about it whether good or bad. What do y'all think? Leave your comments below.

Custom Made Wigs by Me:)

Hi, if you have just came across my blog, just letting you know that I am a wigmaker. I have been making wigs for some time now. Next year, it will actually be 3 years since I started making them for the public. I make u part wigs, half wigs, lace closure wigs, and full wigs. If you don't know what these kind of wigs are, don't worry I will provide more info. Wig making is something that I really love to do and it's always a joy making them for my clients. I always try to improve in my craft and by doing so, I no longer use pre made wig caps. All wig caps are now made from scratch by me. I worked really hard and a lot of blood, sweat, and tears went into making this cap.

With my new wig caps, your wig will lay more flatter(especially lace closures), more snug, more light weight, and breathable. Also, there are more versatility in my wigs. Aside from switching your middle part from left to right, you will also be able to wear your hair pulled back off your face and you can also wear your hair in a high ponytail. All you will need to provide is your head measurements and your desired hair extensions.
All info such as prices, how to get a wig made, turnaround time can all be found on my site which is www.myhairisfab.bigcartel.com. Serious inquiries, email me at myhairisfabinfo@gmail.com.

Update on my www.impressive-hair.com Hair!

I made this hair into a u part wig in September. Pics of the wig are below. After a month in a half of wearing this hair, I like it but I don't love it. Let me start with the pros of the hair: The hair still doesn't tangle. The hair barely sheds. I did lighten the hair to a pretty brown color and it take the color really well. I used Clairol 20 volume developer. The quality of the hair didn't change at all. The reason why I like the hair but don't love it is because like I mentioned in my previous post, the hair is silky. A little of the silkiness did go away due to me dying it but my natural hair isn't silky when it's straight. I was able to get my hair to blend with it by applying a little more heat to my hair not a lot because I'm wasn't about to burn out my leave out for NO fake hair lol Another thing, the hair doesn't hold a curl for too long. Overall, would I recommend this hair to you? I would say if you have relaxed hair or if you have natural hair that gets silky straight when you wear it, I would buy it. If not, this hair wouldn't work for you. Would I purchase this hair texture again? No, only because my natural hair is not silky when it is straight.

Impressive hair yaki intial review

I ordered 2 bundles of light to medium yaki hair from www.impressive-hair.com. Both bundles were 14 inches. Prior to placing my order, I did chat with the owner Sabine. NOTE: ALWAYS email or call the owner of the company before placing your order. This goes for any company online because I know for me, I always want to make sure the company has good customer service before I give them my money. I ordered the hair on a Tuesday or Wednesday and Sabine shipped out the hair on Thursday which I really loved because I never ordered from a company that shipped the hair out that fast. I received my hair 9 days later on a Saturday. The hair company is based in Germany by the way.

Upon receiving my hair, the hair was soft, it didn't have a stink smell to it. I can tell my hair was washed prior to shipping because when I touched it, it was a little damp. The only thing I would say I kind of dislike is that the hair is on the silky side so if you don't like silky hair, this hair might not be for you especially if you have natural hair that doesn't get bone straight when flat ironed or if you dont know how to get your natural hair bone straight. I recommend this hair to those with relaxed hair. Below is a pic of the hair.

Pros: Hair was soft, thick from roots to tips, and full of body. No synthetic fibers, when I ran my hand through it, I only got maybe 1 or 2 strands which is great. No lice shells, hair is true to length, no tangling, not shiny hair.

Cons: The ends were dry. They did get better once I washed and conditioned the hair.
Hair is on the silky side: this is a con for me because my hair isn't silky when straight.

Company pros: Good customer service and turnaround time
Company cons: None so far

How to Sucessfully Bleach Your Knots!

What is bleaching knots? Bleaching knots is applying bleach to your lace closure.

Why do we bleach knots? So the knots on the closure aren't visible anymore and so you can achieve the most natural looking scalp while wearing your closure.

The closure I used is my Queen Weave beauty closure. I did do a post about this closure so if you are interested in all the specs of the closure, please read my "Queen Weave Beauty Review".

The Things You Will Need:

1. Bleach
2. Developer
3. Aluminum Foil
4. Mixing bowl
5. Mixing brush to apply bleach
6. Blow dryer (optional)
7. T pins (optional)
8. Mannequin head (optional)
9. Plastic Cap (optional)


The bleach I used is by Kaleidocolors in Violet. The developer I used is Clairol Professional Soy 4 Plex Pure White Creme Developer, 20 volume. You don't have to use these exact same products for bleaching. But I do recommend that you use a 20 or 30 volume developer. I don't recommend you to use a 40 volume developer especially if you plan on bleaching your knots for the first time because it does process faster.



Step 1: Pour some of the bleach in the mixing bowl. If you are using the same bleach that I'm using that comes in a small packet, don't pour all of the bleach out because all of it is not needed for the closure. Then pour some developer in with the bleach. Stir. You want your bleach mixture to be THICK so when you apply the mixture to your closure, the bleach won't seep through. If the bleach seeps through the lace, it can accidentally bleach the roots of the hair and you don't want that! Your mixture SHOULDN'T be runny at all.

Step 2: Place your closure on a piece of aluminum foil. Before you apply the bleach to your closure, if your closure has baby hairs, pin them with clips to make sure they are out of the way. Then flip your closure over so that it is facing the lace grid side.


Step 3: With your mixing brush, GENTLY dab the bleach onto the lace. Make sure you apply enough bleach to the lace to ensure you are bleaching all of the knots. Once you're done applying the bleach, turn your lace closure over right side up and then cover the lace closure in the aluminum foil.




Step 4: This is optional. Take some t pins and pin your closure onto the side of your mannequin head.



Step 5: Place a plastic cap over your mannequin head. Next, to speed up the processing a little bit, blow dry your lace closure while it's on the mannequin head covered with the plastic cap.



Step 6: Check your closure every 5 minutes. To check it, you would flip your closure over right side up like in the pic below to see if the knots have lifted. I left my bleach on my closure for about 15 to 20 minutes. Make sure you keep the bleach on until the knots on the closure AREN'T noticeable anymore. Also, this is very important, you don't want to rinse your closure out when you see that your knots have turned orange. Wait until the knots turn a honey blonde color (NOT platinum blonde) then rinse out. This is very important because you want to wait until your closure surpass that orange stage and become blonde or you will have a brassy lace closure.

After you rinse your closure out, wash your closure with a neutralizing shampoo to stop the processing of the chemicals from the bleach. Leave shampoo on closure for 5 to 10 minutes then rinse out. You can also use Shimmer lights shampoo. Afterwards condition your closure. Once your done, your closure should look like mine. The knots shouldn't be brassy at all and the lace closure should blend easily in with your skin. Hope this helps someone. Good luck with bleaching your closure!



Key Points:

1. Don't pour out all the bleach because all of it is NOT needed.
2. Make sure you DON'T make the bleach mixture runny at all. It NEEDS to be thick.
3. Make sure all the baby hairs are out of the way BEFORE you begin bleaching your closure.
4. Keep the bleach on until all the knots AREN'T noticeable anymore.
5. Make sure you apply enough bleach to the closure to insure you got all the knots.
6. Wait until your knots turn a honey blonde color NOT platinum blonde! then rinse bleach out.
7. Wash lace closure with Neutralizing shampoo to stop the processing of the chemicals from the bleach. Or you can use Shimmer Lights shampoo.

Queen Weave Beauty Review

So I decided while wearing my hair extensions, I would give my natural hair that I would normally leave out a break. To give it a break, I ordered a lace closure. I know some hair companies online sell lace closures but I didn't want to spend $100 plus on one especially since this would be my first lace closure.

So I ordered my lace closure from aliexpress. Based off good reviews on where to buy a good affordable lace closure, I decided to go with the vendor, Queen Weave Beauty. I paid in total $75.60 and shipping was free! Specs: Brazilian Loose Wave, 14 inch, 3.5 x 4, 100% density. I ordered this lace closure Wed December 4. Ann (one of the owners of the company) shipped it out the next day December 5 and emailed me my tracking number. She shipped my package via DHL. I received it Monday Dec 9. So it took only 4 days for me to receive it. This is really good because this company is located in China.

Company Customer Service: Ann (one of the owners) was very nice and professional. She answered all of my questions very fast within the same day. NOTE: ALWAYS email or chat with the owner before placing your order online. This goes for any online company because I know for me, I always want to make sure the company has good customer service before I give them my money. Also, when dealing with aliexpress vendors located in China, if you live in The United States like me, you have to remember that there is about a 12 hour difference in time. For instance, if it's 10 pm where I live, in China it's 10 am for them so it's best to email or chat with them at night time.

Upon receiving my closure, I did shampoo and condition it. I didn't get any tangling, no shedding, and the original wave pattern of the hair didn't change at all:) I recently made a wig with this lace closure along with my extensions I ordered from www.hairbybellebre.net. I did bleach my knots and I will do a blog post on how to successfully do that.

Hairbybellebree Intial Review

It's been a while since I did a post on my blog so here's an initial review on some hair I recently ordered. The company I ordered my hair from is www.hairbybellebre.net.
I ordered 2 bundles: 14 & 16 inch. The texture of the hair is Brazilian deep wave. I decided to go with this company because I have seen so many good reviews on this hair and many beautiful install pics from their customers on their instagram page.

Now before I placed my order, I did email the owner of the company, Syreeta a few questions. NOTE: ALWAYS email or call the owner of the company before placing your order. This goes for any company online because I know for me, I always want to make sure the company has good customer service before I give them my money.

Customer service with this company is good. The owner Syreeta responded back to my emails very fast within the same day. So I placed my order on Nov 29 2013 which was Black Friday. I then received an email stating that my package had been shipped out and was provided with a tracking number on Wed Dec 4. She shipped my package via USPS Insured mail which is a plus because if my package were to get lost or stolen, I would be covered:) I received my hair that Friday Dec 6. So it took one week for me to receive my hair and that was great! So far, this is the fastest shipping I have ever had from an online hair company.

Here is a photo collage of the hair and how the hair came packaged along with their business card.



Now onto the specs of this hair. I did receive the right wave pattern and the hair was true to length. It has texture to it and it has a nice low luster. My 14 inch bundle was soft and the ends of the hair were fine. My 16 inch bundle was soft as well but the ends were a little dry. Once I received my hair, I did wash it. I used Creme of Nature Argan oil shampoo and deep conditioner which I love. While washing the hair, I didn't receive any tangling, no shedding, and the wave pattern didn't drop! The only con so far about this hair is that it did have that cornchip smell I see some girls talking about on youtube. But it's only really noticeable when the hair is wet, once the hair is dry, you can't notice it. But so far, I am liking this hair. I plan on making a wig with this hair along with a closure I recently ordered. So stay tuned for pics of that and I will be sure to give an update on the hair as well.
