Review by Kam Williams
“You
cannot be a top hair stylist today without working with some types of wigs or
hair extensions… I have been blessed to have worked on some of the best in the
Fashion, Film and Music industries.
One
thing I see all the time is everyday women trying to recreate looks I have
done, without great success. Wearing wigs and extensions can be very
embarrassing, if the hair is not being worn correctly.
On
the other hand, if you know how to apply your hair correctly, you can make an
amazing transformation, just like those seen on A-list stars... This is why The
Lace Wig Bible is a must.
This
book demonstrates, with very clear, step-by-step instructions, everything you
need to know regarding application and care for your lace wig… Enjoy and try a
new look!”
--
from Foreword by Celebrity Stylist Nelson Vercher (pages iii-iv)
Hair care
has blossomed into a multibillion-dollar industry, thanks in no small part to
the widespread embrace recently of wigs and extensions as fashion accessories.
Unfortunately, there is a tremendous range in the quality of what you’re likely
to encounter out there on the street, with some women sporting seamless
hairpieces that you can’t tell is fake while others quite frankly look like
they have a dead pet draped over their heads.
The goods
news is that help has arrived for ladies languishing in the latter category in
the person of beauty guru Morgan Gantt, a sister with her finger on the pulse
when it comes to solving any sort of hair care nightmares. She speaks from
experience, as she has not only worn wigs for years but is the founder of a
premium line of wigs woven from the locks of East Indian females. In The Lace
Wig Bible, the definitive guide on the subject at hand, Morgan shares her
tricks of the trade, covering everything from appearance to grooming.
The
beginning of the opus features a glossary of terms, since the world of wigs
apparently has a complicated lexicon all its own. The ensuing discussion might
be over your head unless you’ve familiarized yourself with the meaning of terms
like “ceramic flat iron,” “rat tail comb,” “clear acrylic sealer,” “rolling
papers” and “thinning shears.”
Employing
this insider vernacular, Morgan then proceeds in Chapter One to answer the ten
questions most frequently asked about lace wigs, including “How long will my
wig last?” and “Will lace wigs damage my hairline?” In the next chapter, she
lays out the ten most popular pitfalls leading to a bad wig day, such as
showing too much lace, using too much adhesive and improperly securing your
wig.
Like a
modern-day Moses, she lays out sanctified solutions to each dilemma in
step-by-step instructions accompanied by illustrative drawings and photographs.
An encyclopedic tome containing everything you need to know about maintaining a
perfect faux-do but were afraid to ask.
