Hair systems are complicated. At Advent Hair we know hair systems so you don’t have to. Our customer service specialists are always standing by to answer any questions you may have about your hair system. Here are some of the latest questions we’ve answered for customers.

Q: Can my wig be worn while swimming?
A: Secure your wig with a waterproof wig adhesive and you’ll be swimming worry-free. At AdventHair.com we have several waterproof wig adhesives to choose from, including Walker Liqui-Tape, Walker Mity Tite Liquid Adhesive, Be Sure Brush on Adhesive and more.

Q: How can I prevent my wig from becoming frizzy?
A: Frizz can be prevented by daily conditioning. Just make sure you buy the correct conditioner for your wig! If you have a real human hair wig then we suggest PPI Enhance Conditioner. This leave-in conditioner can be used daily to prevent frizz. If you have a synthetic wig then we suggest using TDI Silicon K New Life Conditioner to fight frizz.

Q: Which is better, Swiss lace or French lace?
A: Swiss lace is fine, fragile and available in a lighter density, while French lace is sturdy, strong and available in a thicker density. The choice between French or Swiss lace depends on what you’re looking for in a hair system. Many first time wig buyers purchase French lace, as it’s less likely to be damaged than Swiss lace.

There are many things you can do to help take care of your hair, to keep it looking as healthy as possible even without the need of a hair replacement system, wig or toupee. Last week we talked about five hair healthy foods that can keep your hair looking and feeling healthy. Here are five more foods that can improve the health of your hair.

1. Cottage Cheese – Mixed with fresh berries or even some noodles, this snack is a great source of calcium. Calcium keeps hair strong.

2. Bacon - Surprisingly, bacon contains vitamin B, zinc, and protein and is healthy for your hair. Without protein hair becomes brittle and sometimes loses color. We bet that’s the first and last time you’ll ever hear bacon referred to as healthy!

3. Carrots - While this veggie is known to promote better vision, it’s also used to keep your hair healthy. Carrots have vitamin A, which maintains the hairs natural oils, providing you with healthy, shiny, well-conditional hair. 

4. Nuts - Walnuts, cashews, and pecans provide your hair with some much needed zinc. Walnuts are also a great source of selenium, which is important for healthy, dandruff-free scalp.

5. Brown Rice – Packed with complex carbohydrates, brown rice will give your body the energy it needs to build strong hair. Brown rice is also a great source of vitamin B and protein.

When women hear the word “wig” topics like hair loss quickly come to mind. However, the purposes of a wig can be limitless. Wigs make great fashion statements and are perfect for women who like to continuously try out new hairstyles.

Here are the top 5 reasons as to why someone who isn?t experiencing hair loss should buy a wig:

• Trying A New Style: Have you ever thought long and hard about getting that short bob cut, but you just didn’t have the courage? The great thing about women’s wigs is that you can go from long to short without committing to a new cut. Explore new looks to see which best suits your style.

• To Save Time: These days, we barely have enough time in the morning to eat breakfast, let alone style our hair. Save minutes each day by conveniently applying your pre-styled hairpiece.

• Attaining Volume: We all aim to have a beautiful, full head of hair, but no matter how much hairspray we apply or how long we used the blow dryer, our hair tends to fall flat by the end of the day. Attain fullness, easily each morning with a fashionable wig.

• Saving Money: Trips to the beauty salon can add up, especially with the large number of cuts and colorings women get each year. Wigs can be a cheaper and healthier solution, as excessive hair-dying can cause damage.

• Covering Gray Hair: If you’re tired of dying your gray hairs and the costs associated with it, wigs can help boost your confidence with a permanent color and style.

With summer soon approaching, now is the perfect time to try out a new style. Advent Hair carries many wigs for women in a variety of lengths, cuts and colors. What kind of styles do you prefer? Short, long, curls, straight – the opportunities are endless!

For both men and women alike, it can be a very scary experience to start losing your hair. Although it is more common in men, many women must deal with this harsh reality as well. Luckily there are great wigs for women to cover up balding. Whether it is a health condition or genetics, losing hair can be a traumatic time in one’s life and may even lead to depression!

Sadly, society pressures us to look good, and many judgments and opinions are made based on appearance. This can lead to depression, lack of self confidence and sadly, it could change people’s thoughts or perceptions of you. Advent Hair has a wide variety of wigs for women and toupees for men, so both men and women can cover up, style their hair and avoid the embarrassment they may feel when balding.

Don’t feel embarrassed by your balding any longer! Cover it up with a stylish and stunning wig. Our wigs are easy to style and wear, so you will feel comfortable in your new look. Walk proud with confidence of your new look and just think of how much easier it will be to style your hair.
