Chicago Hair Replacement Parts And Front Lines

The most critical areas of the hairpiece are the part and the front line. Even if a hair replacement is custom made, has European hair, a fine welded mono base, it may still be detectable if the part of the front line are not designed properly.
A good hair system will be created with some versatility in the way it can be parted. Nevertheless, the location and type of part are usually predetermined by both client and stylist. The names given to parts are often the result of the base used under them or the style involved. Five kinds are in common use:
1. The French Part, pre-styled into the hair replacement by a special weaving of the hair sewn in (one hair at a time) A gauze or lace base is used.
2.The Lace Part, just as impressive as the French part; in fact, a little more so. The hairpiece base used is lace cloth, a little more delicate than any other, with a very fine, closely-woven texture that can hardly be seen.
3.The Simulated Part, This is not an actual part. The hair is sewn into any one of a variety of hair replacement bases to create a slight separation. It has the appearance of a part, but has no skin tone showing through from the base. Very effective for today's styles.
4.The Skin Part, usually made on a skin-like plastic material, although recent advances have now made it possible to also have this on a lace base. It is designed to look like your own hair growing out of the scalp.
5.No Part. This is the most commonly style used by me. It is the most versatile style. It allows you to choose if you want a part on your left or on your right, you can do whatever you want with your hair and it will still look good.
The front lines available in a hairpiece are even more extensive than the part choices. It is enough to say that whatever style you want, the hair replacement can provide it: left to right, right to left, forward,forward than back, tossled, etc. The choice is yours. Consult with your hairstylist as to which style would look best with your facial features and existing side hair.(Bring your stylist a photograph of yourself when you had a full head of hair often facilitates this decision the most appropriate hairstyle.)
Just remember, the better the quality of your hair system, the easier to make, not only your front line, but every aspect of the piece appear natural. A hairpiece is truly one of those commodities of which "you get what you pay for!"
