Wigs for Cancer Patients Give Hope

May 14th, 2012 | Posted by ChristineM in Yaffa Wigs - (0 Comments)

Dealing with cancer is a scary thing. No one is ever prepared for what lies ahead with treatment, especially not hair loss. It’s a common issue everyone knows occurs with chemotherapy, but no one is actually prepared for it when it happens, even if they think they are. Wigs for cancer patients are so very important to the cause because they give patients comfort, a sense of normalcy and hope.

Cancer is beatable, it has been proven time and again. And to be able to retain a sense of the every day is a good thing for those people. Having a positive attitude can really help in fighting against the disease and can help give patients a happy life in the mean time. 100%  human hair wigs will let them forget for a while that they are dealing with treatment and be able to fit in with everyone else without having to deal with discomfort of explaining anything.

This is why Yaffa Wigs is proud to be in the business. Because they know they aren’t just providing wigs for fashion reasons,  but for health reasons as well. It’s to benefit women who are going through a tough time and make things just a little bit easier.

Taking the Plunge With Short Wigs

May 7th, 2012 | Posted by ChristineM in Yaffa Wigs - (0 Comments)

Having short hair can be a scary ordeal. I myself took the plunge in cutting my hair a few years ago from being long and it was a scary choice.  But it was a great one and now I cannot see myself wearing it any other way. The great thing about short wigs is that you have the choice to see exactly how it’ll look on you before making that big decision. From color to cut, you can see your options and whether or not you have the right shaped face for the style.

Short wigs are a drastic change, the kind that is definitely going to get the attention of everyone you know. After all, you can’t ignore when someone’s hair suddenly goes from past their shoulders to as short as to their chin!

It’s a bold statement, but you might be ready to make it.  The best way to know is to really get out there and try some wigs on for yourself.  A great stylist will know exactly which hair cut shapes to consider for your face and what length will work best. From bobs to shorter, there’s a short style that maybe be perfect for you.

Custom Made Wigs are Great for Sensitive Skin

May 1st, 2012 | Posted by ChristineM in Yaffa Wigs - (0 Comments)

Wearing wigs is not always the most comfortable thing for everyone, especially pre-made wigs. You might find that you have been trying on a lot of pre-made wigs, only for them to be itchy or not feel right on your head. Some might slip awkwardly or just bother you throughout the day. And it is fairly common; scalps can be a very sensitive area since they aren’t so often exposed.  Custom made wigs can be the solution to that.

Having custom made wigs means pieces that are going to fit you perfectly. You’ll get measured for size and fit, as well as be given the perfect cap that will be comfortable, not itchy or awkward. Not only that, but you can pick any color or style you desire. You can truly have your own style, one that you won’t find elsewhere.

Yaffa Wigs offers not only comfortable pre-made wigs, but the opportunity to have custom made wigs that will be yours and yours alone and last you for years. All you have to do is speak with customer service and they can get you started. You’ll be on your way to a brand new wig that is inherently you! And you won’t have any more problems with discomfort.

European Hair Wigs Travel Well

April 24th, 2012 | Posted by ChristineM in Yaffa Wigs - (0 Comments)

Vacations are among us and we are all looking forward to the days we have coming up that will let us get away from all the stresses of work and day to day life. And if you own European hair wigs, you have nothing to fear when it comes to travel, because they actually travel very well, as long as you pack them as they should be.

In the right case and placed in the right way, they’ll show up at your destination perfectly intact.  You can brush out any knots and set them up with a stand in your hotel, for use while you are away. Be sure to pack all of your needed care products, brushes and styling pieces so that you are all set, no matter what the occasion.

Be sure to only pack the European hair wigs you truly need, because they can wind up taking a lot of space once you have them in the right boxes and packing. It’s good to have more than one in case something should happen to one, or because you just want to have that option.  Make sure that airport security knows they are in your bag as well, to keep them from searching your suitcase in case they aren’t sure.

 

Real Hair Wigs Can Be Styled With Ease

April 17th, 2012 | Posted by ChristineM in Care Tips - (0 Comments)

People often don’t realize the serious  benefit of real hair wigs. They aren’t like wigs made of synthetic materials; they can be styled with the same sort of products that you once used on your regular hair. Hair spray, gel, moose, even hair wax can all be applied to style it comfortably in the way you love. As long as you properly wash your wig after every use, using hair product is just fine.

You just have to remember that as you wouldn’t let your natural hair sit there with all these materials in it, you shouldn’t let your wig sit there with them either. It can get easy to let it go because once you take it off and put it on the stand, you may forget about it. But always wash out the residue from products because it’ll keep the real hair shiny and healthy.

Don’t be afraid to have some fun when styling. It is a lot  easier to style a wig on a base than when it is on your head, so you may want to give it a try that way first. You can really experiment to find the perfect style for your real hair wigs!

Caring For a Curly Wig

April 10th, 2012 | Posted by ChristineM in Care Tips - (0 Comments)

A natural, real hair curly wig can be absolutely beautiful. It’ll give you the kind of volume you’ve always wanted and people will be sure to compliment you on fabulous curls. But if this is your first time ever dealing with curly hair, then you may not be as familiar with how to care for it. It takes a little work but can be done easily as long as you are consistent.

Any good quality real hair wig will bounce back into shape even if you should brush the curls out. It’s not like synthetic, it’ll return to its natural shape. So do brush your wig once in a while to remove any tangles that may occur. They do get knotted a little more often with curly hair than straight hair.

You should also invest in curl specific hair products. There are plenty of gels, shampoos and conditioners that are meant to keep in moisture and keep your curls bouncy and intact. It’ll protect them from getting split ends too quickly.

When you keep your wig on display, make sure it has enough room so the curls don’t get caught on anything. And of course, as with all wigs, keep away from pets who can accidentally damage them.

Don’t Be Afraid to Cut Your Real Hair Wigs

April 2nd, 2012 | Posted by ChristineM in Yaffa Wigs - (0 Comments)

When you first bought your wig, you may have invested in a longer style or one that sort of worked with everything, but now you want to do something different. Maybe a bit funkier. Layers and funky styling is really in and you can do all of that with your real hair wigs, without having to buy a new one. That’s the beauty of real hair wigs, they can be cut and styled just like everyone else’s hair.

Many women cut their wigs and many others are afraid to, because they feel they will “mess up” the style they paid for.  But the truth is, you can always get another long wig if you really want to switch back to the style. But for the warmer seasons coming up, getting it cut and restyled can be a really smart idea, as well as lengthen the use you get out of your wig. Because if it’s a style you don’t want to wear anymore, it’ll collect dust. But if you change it up a bit, you’ll find your investment can go a long way.

So don’t be afraid to go for the big cut with your  real hair wig. It could be the change you really needed!

Natural Looking Wigs and Summer Weather

March 26th, 2012 | Posted by ChristineM in Yaffa Wigs - (0 Comments)

Choosing your natural looking wigs for the summer can be a pain. Wigs are not the most comfortable thing in those hotter months, but there are choices you can make that can mean a more comfortable fit and wear for long hours of the day.

A cool wig base will make all the difference. A capless or lace front  wig base is going to be a lot cooler than a monofilament base, so take this into consideration when buying and speak to customer service about which styles have which.  Or getting custom made wigs can allow you to choose this kind of wig base and still get the perfect style you want.

Wigs made of real human hair will look the most natural, but can be hot and heavy and will require much styling to keep in hot weather. You can still find natural looking wigs that are synthetic though, which are much lighter and will stay properly styled once they are set. Don’t skip past them just because they aren’t real; they may work well for you mid-August.

Making a shift in wigs for the summer can be the best way to keep comfortable and not overheat, which can result in heat stroke. So consider your summer wigs as separate from your winter ones and get shopping!

European Hair Wigs Prove Your Style

March 19th, 2012 | Posted by ChristineM in Yaffa Wigs - (0 Comments)

There’s really nothing more fashionable than European hair wigs.  They are of the highest quality you can get and when another person knows their wigs, they’ll see yours and know it’s of the best kind of hair. For those who can’t spot a wig, they’ll just think you have the most beautiful head of hair they’ve ever seen. European hair wigs are the kind that make you stop and stare, in a good way.

My friend always believed in only owning European hair wigs. She lost her hair fairly early on and had to start wearing wigs in her 30s and decided she was going to make them the best ones she could find. Why settle for anything less and why sacrifice style and substance just because she had to wear one?  And she always looked great, no matter which one she chose to wear for the day. She just had a knack for styling them.

So when you look for wigs for yourself, you shouldn’t sacrifice style. Put in some investment into a great wig. Sometimes, European style can be expensive, but it is well worth it. You’ll be hard pressed to find wigs more beautiful, realistic, and long lasting.

Recycling Quality Wigs

March 12th, 2012 | Posted by ChristineM in Yaffa Wigs - (0 Comments)

We all get to a point in our lives where we tend to outgrow old styles. This goes for our wigs as well. Sometimes you feel as if you need to move on and try a new style but you don’t want to just throw out the old wigs, not when they are quality wigs that can still be used in some way. So recycling may be your best option, something that benefits others and makes you feel as though you aren’t just wasting a perfectly nice wig.

Recycling a wig can be done in a few different ways. One is recycling its use by donating it to an organization that can disinfect, reshape and give out quality wigs to those who need them but can’t afford them. It can be tough when someone’s insurance doesn’t cover the cost, but these organizations are there to support these women in their time of need.

You can also have your wigs recycled in that they’ll be taken apart and either used in a brand new wig or have the materials used in a variety of other products. Every state has a place you can either take or mail your wig to so that others can benefit!
