Making of a wig - Rock it like it's real - Wig 1 - Short wig aka Beyonce

Hiya,
So my other laptop broke again, its the same-one that breaks all the time. (No comment) I am fed up too. Life saver 101 for a woman/lady (Weaver/beyonce's) here you go. Its a wig or some type of hair piece that you can brush up,put on,clip on or slap on and it looks like its real. I love wigs because in between my weave install i can either quickly have them for a day or 2 weeks depending on how i am feeling. The worst thing about a weave is when its due to come out and you either can pin down an appointment or you simply don't have time but you must get the horse hair(Remy hair) out. hahaha
Items Needed; Foam head, Wig cap, Scissors, Hair glue, The hair piece you need. I used Premium plus 27 pieces Color 4.

This is how i hold my wig head. I put it between my knees.Reminds me of my childhood. :)




This is what the wig looks like after its done.

After cutting and styling....Beauty
My client was a little skeptical at first because she loves her long weaves but it grew on her few hours later. Just like most things in life it take sometimes to conform to change but as for me I love how it turned out. I cant wait to make one for my self  - i have so much wigs to make but i might just sneak mine to the front line.

If you like me to make you a wig please send me an email to hairbytolani@gmail.com.

I dont know if beyonce really did cut her hair or its a lace wig but this is an alternative route to achieving that look.

Stay blessed

Bridal Hair and Makeup with Invisible Parting Weave Glued

One of the reasons I love the invisible part system is that its easy if you are patient with it, simple and cost effective. When i first heard about it I was a little reluctant to try it but once I tried, I couldn't stop telling everyone about it. It kicked lace closure to the side for a minute. Which can be a good thing for your(My:)) hairline. My hair is natural so i have to constantly choose between having lace closures or having a closed weave. (I will dedicate another post to my hair/self another time).

When i get clients with natural hair wanting a weave i love it because the transformation is always great. One of the first option on the list is Invisible part weave system.Thankfully this client choose this and she trusted my vision.(our vision).

The choice was based her because she wanting an hair style she could rock before and after the wedding which is also cost effective,low maintenance and chic.(We all want to look like beyonc' without breaking the bank). 
The natural hair process.....

Its all done!
I don't know if you can relate but the feeling you get when you get after your hair is priceless...Like a new beginning all over!

Prebridal Makeup . Beat that face :) She looks fab. What do you think?

The end of the beginning. Next time i see her i will be perfecting the Pre - Bridal Makeover on the wedding day.

Please let me know if you have any question don't hesitate to email me or leave a comment. My Facebook page link is also on the left.


I promise i will soon be back. This time with giveaways.

Love and Light

Invisible part weave recontruction

I am sorry i have been MIA. I have a totally different respect for blogger i follow because it takes alot of dedication keeping your blog uptodate. Hair styling is still a passion for me and after 12 years i have really struggled with what to do next.
 Sometimes i struggle with questions like, Do i truly want to take it to another level or if i simply want to disappear with this talent of mine? I have had opportunities in the past to expand my brand and put my self out there but whilst still trying to figure it out i will just carrying on taking each day as it comes.

So lets back track a little bit. Here are pictures from last year 2 lovely ladies i did invisible part weave for.The first one i had to reconstruct just the invisible part section  because the previous stylist really messed it up. I managed to give it a lift and style.



She left Happy :')

Note to self   #BePatient and  #WorkHard

Love Light

Lace Closure Weave and Hair Accessory Hair Chain

From my laptops crashing and phones breaking i have been pretty much muted in the internet world. I was scared of loosing all my photos when they went down but i didnt. #Thank God.
I made mine(HAIR CHAIN). I was on a DIY mission which i accomplished. :) They are so cute.

I went a little crazy about them i think i wore them 3 times in that week. :) I wore them to a music event with one of my closest friends in the pic.

I also wore them to a house party. I saw a guy wearing this shades i had to try them on and of cos take a picture with them. #LOVE IT :)
I just curled my hair a little bit to give it the wavy look. I am still rocking the straight jet black(colour 1) look, which i love. i will find time to post pic.... Sooner than later....

Hope you guys are doing good and soaking up the sun?

Back to Basics 2

Let us start this month with a new attitude & plenty of gratitude. 

 I am so excited and thankful for another month whilst going through my hard drive i found a old collage i made few years back of my lovely friend Ebony.

 I recall talking her into doing this style and i don't think she ever did the side bang style again. I wonder why...... This use to be my favorite hair style,now i am pretty much stuck in the center part world. I just did my hair (weave) today and i did an invisible part center.:) I will post some pictures during the week.

We used 16inch x 2 Regular Human Hair and i just trimmed the bang. :) Doesn't she look cute like a button.

I have a lot more post coming up. Please keep  checking back and don't forget to add me on Facebook,leave a comment if you like.:)
Stay blessed.
