We're very excited to have a three page spread featuring ForGirlsLikeUs full lace wigs in Hype Hair's Spring Style magazine, April issue. "For the Love of Lace" showcases four sassy spring looks and how to achieve them using the FGLU Virtual Hairline System. The first look was a razor cut, long conservative bob, "sophisticated enough for day and sassy enough for the evening." The second look continued with the razor cut, into a shorter bob. The third look featured a Malaysian Remi unit combined with light Yaki, the hair was parted in the center for a straight, sleek look. The last look showed a Malaysian Remi in a deep wave. The hair was worn curly for a kinky curly look, perfect for spring.

Clip-in Hair Extensions

2008-09-13T15:37:00.006-04:00

We would like to welcome our readers into fall with a few thoughts we had on a recent wedding we took part in. On September 6th, our marketing director, Jennifer, was a bridesmaid in wedding for one of her lifelong girlfriends. We decided this was a good time to test-drive some clip in hair extensions to potentially add to our collection of full lace wigs and accessories. Hair extensions, and clip in hair extensions in particular, are a great way to enhance your look. They can add length and/or fullness to your existing hair and are perfect for special occasions. Here are some pictures of Jennifer wearing the FGLU clip in hair extensions. Although these are not yet available on our site, they can be custom ordered by calling us.

The Scoop on Satin Lace Tape

2008-07-21T13:56:00.014-04:00

One of our staffers, Sakinah, recently road-tested our new Satin Lace Tape on her full lace wig. Here is what she had to say:

"I had a good experience with Satin Lace Tape. It’s thinner than the other standard tapes and doesn’t guarantee an extended hold, but I do believe layering it with another adhesive can bring about stronger results.

Since I’m allergic to most tapes, I took a chance and tried it out and had no breakouts. Without any other adhesives, I applied the tape around the perimeter. The front stayed well through the humidity of the weather, but I got lift in the back, which I know many have experienced with using only tape.

It’s been about 5 days since I’ve had the tape on (and I'm ready to reapply with new tape) and I've had no allergic reaction. I recommend clients who have sensitivity to most tapes to give Satin Lace Tape a try."

FYI, Satin Lace Tape is approved as an approved medical device by the FDA. Medical device is the broader term the FDA uses to classify medical grade adhesives. To order Satin Lace Tape, visit: http://www.forgirlslikeus.com/satin-lace-tape.html.

National Alopecia Areata Foundation

2008-06-10T09:36:00.002-04:00

As part of our ForGirlsLikeUs "Give Back" program, we are thrilled to announce our involvement with the National Alopecia Areata Foundation (NAAF). The NAAF supports research to find a cure or acceptable treatment of alopecia areata, supports those with the disease and educates the public about alopecia areata.

In alopecia areata, the affected hair follicles are mistakenly attacked by a person's own immune system (white blood cells), resulting in the arrest of the hair growth stage. Alopecia areata usually starts with one or more small, round, smooth bald patches on the scalp and can progress to total scalp hair loss (alopecia totalis) or complete body hair loss (alopecia universalis).

Alopecia areata affects ease affects approximately 2% of the population overall, including more than 5 million people in the United States alone.

ForGirlsLikeUs will be donating 5 full lace units to people with alopecia areata each year. If you or someone you know suffers from alopecia areata and are interested in finding out more about the program, please visit the NAAF’s website at http://www.naaf.org/.
