Wigs
One of the main benefits of using a wig, lace wigs and lace fronts included, is that they are easy to install. Just braid your hair, put your hair net on, grab Michelle and go!
Like a weave, a wig has the benefit of super cute aesthetics while protecting your hair underneath, you can style the wig to your liking, color it, cut it whatever you prefer but what is most important is that you are avoiding manipulation of your own hair and you can almost guarantee maximum length retention.
Wigs* are absolutely amazing if you want to just change things up and take a break from your hair which is the whole point of protective styling anyway.
Tip
• Get educated on the best wig for you, there are many choices out there and picking the best one comes down to what you like personally and what suits you. High end wigs* can get very expensive so before you purchase one, get the best advice.
• Care for your wig by storing it well, preferably on a mannequin head so that it keeps its shape.
• Sometimes a wig* that doesn’t look quite right only needs a couple of snips here and there to create a super cute style. If you are confident, cut the wig yourself but if you are not confident enough and don’t want to risk ruining your wig*, then get a stylist to do shaping for you. It really doesn’t cost much and it’s worth it if you have invested quite a bit of money in the wig already.
• Make sure you check on your hair underneath nightly, keeping your hair moisturized and allowing your scalp time to breath.

I want to know about false eyelashes. I had them applied for a party recently. They were individual lashes. They stayed on for about 3 weeks. I noticed that my own eyelashes have come out since I had them. Is this a side effect of wearing false lashes. My sister said that all of her lashes are gone. She wears false lashes often.
