Hair’s journey – From Raw Material to Finished Product

For most people, hair is a tiny piece of what makes up your whole life – unless you’re a bald person. The hair that falls on your pillow when you wake up every morning. The hair gets carried away by the comb as you brush it. The hair you lose when you wash your hair. For those beauty lovers who like to style their hair, a trip to the salon every now and then is inevitable.

Just like our gradually accelerating pace of life, your hair is also falling out faster.So where did all the hair you lost and all the hair you cut off go?

Your hair does not lose its value by falling out. Healthy, unpermed hair is worth a lot of money. That’s why a good quality wig is expensive. A real human hair wig can beat any manufactured wig in any way, except, of course, price. A cut from healthy hair tied into a braid, such hair is the best raw material for wigs.

Typically, Divided into the following
*Hair that falls out naturally in your daily life
*Complete braids you cut in the barber store
*Very short pieces of hair that were cut off when you trimmed your hair

It is difficult to make a good-looking long hair wig with cut-off broken hair. Naturally, fallen hair will have hair follicles on the root part of the hair. To make a wig, the follicles need to be removed with special treatment to make the hair smoother.

After the hair braids arrive at the factory, the first step is to pick the material and sort it. The smaller the hair linen piece, the finer the hair, the less friction, and the easier it is to avoid tangles. The first thing we do is to mechanically process the long hair to ensure that the ends of the hair are not upside down so that the hair does not get tangled during the subsequent processing. This is why this step is so important. These will also directly affect the results of the hair colouring later on.

The next step is to color hair, a process very similar to what you would do at a salon. It’s all about the oxidation process, which recedes the melanin from the hair and oxidizes it to the color the client wants. Depending on the amount of hair, a certain percentage of chemical dyes are added for dyeing.

The hair handle or hair curtain is styled with aluminium tubes of different diameters for high-temperature styling. Generally, there are ways to roll and wrap the tube. Wrap tube is to wrap the hair on the aluminum tube by hand and fix it with a leather band. Rolling the tube is to lay the curtain flat on newspaper or beauty professional paper, comb it smoothly and then roll it up with an aluminum tube. The final result is to achieve various effects of perm, such as big waves, small tight curls, etc.

At UniWigs, your wig will also need to go through a special step – hand sewing. This is an extremely labor-intensive process. Even very skilled handwork can take about 6 days to complete a complete topper.
