<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">There is no excuse for you not to wear false eyelashes, absolutely none! Especially because KISS just changed the game with their new Premium Eyelashes with Application Strings. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">You’ll Need:</span></strong></div><br />
KISS Premium Eyelash with Application Strings<br />
KISS Lash Glue<br />
<br />
To Use:<br />
1. The lashes should be the final step in your look, so make sure you have applied your eye makeup the way that you want too. You will start out by using the doe foot glue applicator to apply a coat of glue to the base of the lashes and let it dry for 30 seconds.<br />
2. Then, holding both sides of the lash with the red string applicators place on your eyelid along your natural lash line. Adjust as necessary.<br />
<br />
3. Once you have adjusted the lashes into a position you are comfortable with, use your thumb and your index finger to hold the lashes in place while you GENTLY pull the end of the red string, removing it from the lashes. Do the same for the other eye.<br />
<br />
4. There you have a perfectly applied set of falsies!<br />
<br />
The lashes and glue can be purchased at Walgreens, Walmart, CVS or <a href="http://www.kissusa.com/">http://www.kissusa.com/</a><br />

If you must blow dry, make sure it is on the cool setting. Blow Dryer heat will damage/split the knots and cause shedding.</span></span></p> <span style="font-size:100%;color:#000000;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;"> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"> </p> </span></span> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><strong><u><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;color:#000000;">Sleeping in Your Unit:</span></span></u></strong></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;color:#000000;">When sleeping in your unit it is best to either braid up your hair or put it in a ponytail so it does not tangle while you sleep.

style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Bell MT';"><br />You Will Need:<br /><br />Large sink with access to hot water.<br />At least 2 gallons of hot tap water.<br />2 oz. of Clorox™ bleach (must be Clorox™ brand).<br />2 oz. of regular household ammonia.<br />Wide tooth comb or brush (Vent Brush).<br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;

Scrub<br />Draw one gallon of hot tap water into the sink. Next, pour the 2 oz. of Clorox™ bleach into the sink with the hot tap water.<br /><br /><b>Finally, place the <u>tangled</u> hair into the water carefully and begin the next step promptly.<br /></b><br /><b><u>CAUTION: DO NOT allow the hair to be in contact with the Clorox™ & hot water mixture for more than 2 mintures!<br /></u></b><br />Step 2: Clorox™ Tangle Scrub....</span> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Bell MT';">Clorox has a ph of like 11.5 and Ammonia is like 10. These are bases which causes the cuticles to flatten.<br />Using the wide tooth comb or vent brush, gently brush through the hair from top to bottom. Concentrate on the most tangled and knotted area of the hair.<br /><br />The tangles should come out while brushing and the hair will become silky. Be careful NOT to brush more than 2 minutes while the hair system is in the Clorox™ mixture.<br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Bell MT';"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Bell MT';">Step 3: Rinse Hair System<br />Drain the Clorox™ and hot water from the sink. Then begin to thoroughly rinse warm water through the hair system. While rinsing, keep the weft of the hair facing up. This will prevent the hair from inverting and tangling again.<br /><br />Step 4: Ammonia Scrub<br />Draw another gallon of hot tap water into the sink. Pour the 2 oz. of ammonia into the sink with the hot tap water. Place hair in sink.<br /><br />Start brushing the hair system again, same as before. Use a wide tooth or vent brush and gently comb hair for 1-2 minutes.<br /><br />Step 5: Final Rinse<br />Drain the ammonia and hot water from the sink. Then begin to thoroughly rinse warm water through the hair system again.

Tips and Tricks for Liquid Bonding Adhesives:</span><br /><br />Below, a list of helpful tips to help you achieve the strongest and most secure bond possible.<br />When applying the liquid adhesive, only use thin, even coats. If you are using a brush, use a paint movement with your hand in both directions - horizontal and vertical. If more adhesive is desired, use thin multiple coats, but make sure the previous coat is dry before applying the next coat.<br />Never try to apply liquid bond directly to a lace system. Instead, apply it on your scalp and place the unit on your head. Always clean and prepare your scalp properly, with skin shield before attaching your full lace wig. Skin shield is a product,that provides a protective barrier against dermal irritation,while enhancing the effectiveness of skin-safe liquid or tape adhesives.<br />After showering or working out, the bond of your full lace wig will seem like it is weakening, which is expected, then even if your hair system is still attached securely, the bond will soften a bit, due to extra heat and moisture, do not touch the unit then, because as your body cools, the bond will harden again.<br />Airborne dust, make-up will attach itself to the adhesive in the front and side edges of lace units and may become visible over time. Immediately after a shower is the easiest time to clean this area because the hairpiece adhesive is pliable. Spray a liberal amount of Adjust-a-Bond on the tip of a double folded tissue. Hold your hair back with one hand and wipe the edge of the lace using the saturated tissue with the other hand.<br />This trick will help keep your lace front and side edges invisible at all times.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"></span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">B.) Tips and Tricks for Curly, Deep Wave and Wavy Styles</span><br /><br />Below, a moisturizer tip for Full lace wigs with a Curly, Deep Wave, Wavy Style.<br />Wash and rinse your full lace wig gently but thoroughly, then spray until saturation, with a,1/4 Dove Moisturizing Conditioner, 1/4 of Glycerin and 2/4 plain water mixture*. Using a loop brush, brush it into shape. Cover your full lace wig with a hair net, and let it dry on top of a wig head. Once dry and you begin to wear it, you spray lightly with above mixture every 2-3 days or as needed.

Tips and Tricks for a long-lasting full lace wig</span><br /><br /></span>The key factor in full lace wig care and maintenance, is to understand that your full lace wig is made of human hair, that is approximately 4 years old. Since hair grows on average a half inch per month, one year equates out to 6 inches. So since on the average 24 inches long hair is used to make a 20 inch unit, it is safe to say, that the hair of your unit has been exposed to the elements a minimum of 4 years, and now that hair has been removed from its nutrient source, to be made into your fabulous full lace wig, care and maintenance become that hair life support.<br />Five main tools are required to properly care for your full lace wig: Shampoo, Conditioner, a rake, your pillow case and your hair wrap. These are the 5 key players and unfortunately not all options are created equally.<br />A good rule of thumb for shampoo or conditioner is that if it costs between $10.00 and $20.00 for 8.5 oz then you have the right stuff. Since the shampoo and conditioner are keys to protecting the hair natural oils, these are two items that you will be best to invest into.<br />Beyond washing your unit, you are going to style it and that is where the Rake comes in. Brushes and combs provide too much tension on the hair and will cause breakage and shedding. Use a Rake or even a Pick and toss the brush and comb and you will reduce greatly the tension put on the hair and the knots while styling your unit and therefore your full lace wig will last longer.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">D.) Tips and Tricks to avoid damages of your full lace wig while sleeping</span><br /><br /></span>Below a tip that is essential when asleep while wearing your hair unit<br />If you are wearing your full lace wig to bed, you must choose to follow those sleep habits, to avoid damaging the hair of your unit.<br />Use a wrap. Having the hair wrapped in a satin or silk wrap will reduce frictions on your unit when you move your head in your sleep. Also use a pillow case in satin or silk. The key here is that the pillow case MUST be the same material as your wrap. If your hair is wrapped in satin, have a satin pillow case. If the hair is wrapped in silk, have a silk pillow case. This will reduce greatly the tension and resistance between the two fabrics, avoid the occasional breakage and allows the hair to remain protected, while you sleep.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">E.)

When detangling the hair, start from the ends and work up little by little to the scalp.<br /><br />2) Hold the base to keep it from shedding or causing root tension.<br /><br />3) Braid your hair into a couple of big braids or wear in a high ponytail when you sleep, swim or exercise. Please untangle hair before braiding. Never sleep on wet hair as this will cause hair to become very matted. Protect hair by wrapping it in a silk or satin scarf or sleeping on a silk/satin pillowcase.<br /><br />4) Chlorine and salt water have been known to cause irreparable damage to the hair of lace wigs. So try to limit exposure to chlorinated and/or salt water. It is advised not to<br />chemically treat this hair of a lace wig yourself because you could cause irreparable damage to the unit.<br /><br />5) Some hair will shed out of some lace wigs easier than others. Curly and longer units will commonly shed more hair rapidly than a shorter lace wig. Shedding of hair is normal.<br /><br />6) While wearing your lace wig, your wig may slip. To help avoid this, constantly apply firm pressure on the attachment site, especially after showering. This will help the unit stay firmly attached to your scalp. If you should experience some slippage, you can easily reattach by touching up the area with your adhesive, wait a few minutes for it to set and then pressing the unit down firmly.<br /><br />7) Use a mix of water and leave-in conditioner daily on curly units.<br /><br /> 8) Keep hair from dryness by applying olive oil, Coconut oil or even Shea oil to the ends ONLY two to three times weekly .<br />The following are things which can lead to premature and excessive hair loss:<br />1) Excessive combing/brushing<br />2) Unattended matting/tangling<br />3) Friction (from cotton pillows, aggressive shampooing)<br />4) Over-perming or incorrect perming<br />5) Conditioners remaining in the root/base area<br /><br />Baking soda bath for shine and body<br />The baking soda bath will keep your hair shiny and with bouncy body.<br />· Fill a large 3 quart container with hot water. Then pour ½ to ¾ cups of baking<br />soda into the water and mix until completely dissolved.<br />· After brushing the unit, place it into the mixture making sure it is completely<br />submerged under water.<br />· Allow the unit to soak overnight or a minimum of four hours. The hair will<br />begin to float to the top of the mixture. Remove it and rinse with warm water.<br />· Wash with a clarifying shampoo thoroughly. Deep condition, rinse and allow<br />drying.

<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">THIS TIP COMES FROM(DIVA LUX LACE) www.divaluxlace.com</span>
<br /></span>
<br />Conditioning your hair is an important step in any hair care regimen, but it’s even more important when you wear lace wigs. Since the hair isn’t growing from your scalp you need to take extra steps to make sure the hair has been conditioned well.
<br />
<br />When it comes to picking a conditioner I have had good results with a lot of different brands. Dove, Nexxus, Sunsilk, Herbal Essences have all worked well for me. You don’t necessarily have to use name brand products, but I have never tried a “no name” conditioner on my lace wig, so I can’t say if the results would be the same. Dove and Herbal Essences are reasonably priced, and I find that in Canada they are always on sale. Sunsilk also reasonable priced depending on where you purchase it from, and Nexxus is the highest priced usually $9-$15.00, again depending on where you purchase it from.
<br />
<br />When I first started out with lace wigs I picked up a trick that gives my wigs a wonderful deep conditioning treatment. It’s really simple and all the supplies are most likely already in your home.
<br />
<br />What you’ll need:
<br />
<br />A large zip lock bag (I now use a plastic container instead of the zip lock bag)
<br />Conditioner of your choice
<br />Water
<br />Extra Virgin Olive Oil
<br />Microwave
<br />Towel, blanket, or sheet
<br />
<br />Steps:
<br />
<br />1. Wash your wig normally with shampoo of your choice. You don’t need a lot of shampoo, just a dime size amount should be enough.
<br />
<br />2. Rinse shampoo out of hair.
<br />
<br />3. After rinsing the hair, you’re going to apply the the conditioner. You want to make sure the hair is covered in conditioner.You don’t need to add conditioner directly to the roots of the hair, this weighs the hair down if not washed out completely.
<br />
<br />4. Rub 1- 1 1/2 tsp of olive oil on to the hair as well, you can also mix the olive oil with the conditioner and apply it in step 3.
<br />
<br />5. Place the hair in the zip lock bag. I usually add about 5 tablespoons of water to the zip lock bag. You don’t want the hair submerged in water, just enough to have some moisture in the bag.
<br />
<br />6. Seal the bag and place it in the microwave. I usually do 45 seconds, but you can do 30 seconds if unsure.
<br />
<br />7. After starting the microwave you want to flip the bag in intervals of 15. So if you started at 45 seconds, stop the microwave at 30 seconds and flip the bag (restart it and flip it again at 15). If you started at 30 seconds , flip it at 15… etc. When you flip the bag you also want to open it so that some of the steam escapes.
<br />
<br />8. Once the microwave has stopped for the final time, remove the bag and seal it, you want to make sure there is still some steam in it.
<br />
<br />9. Wrap the ziplock bag in a towel, sheet or blanket. You basically want to make sure it is able to stay warm for an hour or 2.
<br />
<br />10. Once you’ve wrapped up the bag, leave it for an hour or 2. This can also be done overnight, but you should have a heated blanket that will keep it continuously warmed.
<br />
<br />11. After the deep conditioning time has passed you can go ahead and rinse the hair. Be sure to rinse the hair thoroughly, leftover residue can cause tangles and matting. You want to rinse the hair until the water runs clears.
<br />
<br />12. Once you have rinsed the hair let the wig air dry. For straight hair you can dry it on the Styrofoam wig head, for Curly hair dry it on a towel, with the hair scrunched close to the base of the wig.
<br />
<br />Once the wig has been dried, it should be silky and super soft.
<br />

It is very soft and flows really well. The shipping was super FAST and the seller answered every question I had and provided tips even after the sale. The hairline is Awesome I didn't have to tweeze at all. It has 3 inches of French lace in the front and is Heat resistant, so it can be flat ironed and curled. To achieve the natural part I used the bandage application.
