Hairpieces come from the factory uncut and unstyled.
You should take your new hairpiece to a stylist to have them cut it. It is best
if they do it ON YOUR HEAD
Haircuts:
Quite often we have people who ask us to cut a hairpiece for
them. It is best if the piece is cut on your head. If you find it difficult
to get someone to cut it, then return it to us, and we will cut it for a fee of
RM$70 plus RM$12 for the return shipping. The cut should make it wearable. We
leave it a little longish. It is better to be too long than too short. It
certainly won't grow back. You need to tell us how long you want the hair to
be, in inches, on the various parts of the head.
Sometimes we find that barbers or stylists who have never cut
a hairpiece are more able to do it if we cut it first. They are just
fine-tuning it, instead of making the radical initial cut.
You must understand that once a hairpiece is cut,
it is not returnable under any conditions, even if
we are the ones who cut it. If you have any complaints,
they should be addressed before it is cut. We do not
guarantee you will be satisfied with the cut, even though we feel that we do an
excellent job.
This information is for the hairdresser or stylist who has
never cut in a hairpiece before. Copy it and take it to
your hairdresser or stylist.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cutting and styling the hairpiece is almost exactly like
cutting and styling the natural head of hair . There are only a couple of
important differences:
The main thing you MUST do is keep the hair extremely long
where it hangs down the sides and back of the head. Actually, you should not
shorten the overall length of the hair that hangs sides and back at all.
Start an inch away from the base material of the hairpiece,
and thin away about 10% of the hair using thinning shears. Proceed a little
further away from the base and thin another 10% of the hair away. Proceed on
out the strands of hair another half inch, thinning another 10%. Keep doing
this until at the very ends of the hair there's very little hair left.
The idea is to make sure there is NO DISTINCT LINE where the
hair from the hairpiece starts. It should be totally feathered in. If this is
done correctly, even drastic color mismatches or drastic texture mismatches are
not even noticed at all.
I have customers who are totally gray around the edges, yet
use dark brown or black hairpieces, and it looks like the gray just blends away
into the black. Using this gradual blending technique, the result is a very
normal graying around the edge look. It is totally unnecessary that the amount
of gray in the piece be correct. No gray, a little gray, or a lot of gray--it
makes no difference. It will blend in and look natural, if it is cut right. If
there is an abrupt line where the hairpiece stops, even the slightest color
difference will show.
You should use old-fashioned thinning shears to do this. Only
thinning shears that have the teeth like the teeth of a comb are suitable. I
strongly suggest that you not attempt to cut in a hairpiece without them.
The top and front of the hairpiece is exactly like cutting
the top and the front of natural growing hair. Remember, if you botch a normal
haircut, it'll grow back. If you mess up a hairpiece it won't.
I strongly suggest that you cut the hairpiece in two
stages. The first time, leave the hair far longer than the client usually wears
his hair. This gives an opportunity for the hair to calm down and settle in.
Then when the client comes back for their natural hair to be cut, you can take
the piece down a little more. I have seen more than a few pieces ruined by the
stylist cutting too much. The hair will be much more cooperative after it has
been worn for a couple of weeks. It will also seem much less dense after it
calms down. The second cutting will allow you to make it into a work of art.
Remember:
LEAVE IT VERY LONG.
THIN A LITTLE NEAR THE BASE.
THIN MORE AS YOU GO AWAY FROM THE BASE.
THIN A LOT NEAR THE ENDS.
THIN IT ALMOST TOTALLY AWAY AT THE ENDS.
HAVE NO DISTINCT EDGE WHERE THE PIECE STARTS.
DO IT IN TWO OR MORE STAGES.
Extra Information:
The hair which hangs down the back and sides must be
left long so that it will BLEND in with the customer's real hair.
The customer's real hair should not be cut too short, or there may
be a visible line where the hairpiece hair ends, and the natural
hair begins.
Feathering in the back and side edges of the hairpiece hair with
thinning shears or the by the method of your choice will ensure that
there will be no distinct line to give away the fact that this
customer is wearing a hairpiece.
Start an inch away from the base of the hairpiece, and thin 10%.
Further out, thin another 10% and so on until there are just a few
strands at the tip for the blend.
This blending will be so effective that any differences in color
etc. will go unnoticed.
Cutting the top and front is of course just like a regular haircut,
except that this hair will never grow, so err on the side of too
long rather than too short. They can always come again for a further
length reduction.
Don't thin out the top of the hairpiece as this will leave
sticky-out hair and ruin the natural look and feel. It will thin
itself out through shedding when it's not so new. Also the hair will
behave itself more when it's been worn for a while!
Also, don't pull too hard when lifting for the cut as you might
break the bond with that adhesive tape. Be understanding of your
customer's feelings. Sometimes baldness can cause social anxiety, to
say the least!
Lastly, thank you for using your skills to help create the wonderful
new appearance of this client!
