Pearlie B Hair Systems: December 2011

Hi ! I'm Britney! Welcome to Pearlie B Hair Systems blog spot! Whether you are just browsing or if you have already subscribed I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND INTEREST! *P.S. if You didn't already subscribe make sure you do before you leave :)* I want to take a moment
and tell you about myself and how I became introduced and interested in different types of hair extensions and wigs. I was a natural born fashionista and I was always intrigued with make up, clothes, jewelry and ESPECIALLY HAIR! I loved hair medium length, long, all the way to the short sassy Halle Berry hairstyles. But let’s go back …all the way back! I know everyone remembers when micro braids first came out! Let me tell it I was the FIRST 12 year old to rock the INVISIBLE BRAIDS that my favorite celebrity, Beyonce would wear in her music videos and appearances! I wore braids for many years. I remember the excruciating pain and the long hours sitting in the shop well past midnight crying off and on and annoying my stylist as well as my mother who was spending a couple hundred dollars or more for this dreadful process. But through it all the outcome was BEAUTIFUL! Micro braids were a lifesaver for me…until slowly but surely my hair began to fall out! YIKES! Soon I was faced with a BIG PROBLEM. Looking in the mirror after years of rocking my stylish invisible micro braids I realized I no longer had enough hair for the stylist to be able to catch for the braids. The braids caused me severe hair damage and loss around my hair line! WHAT WAS I GOING TO DO? No more braids, my Beyonce hairstyle no longer worked for me, and to be honest I was ready to move on to something new. Fashion and hairstyles were changing and I wanted to keep up.

I went from getting braids, straight to getting sew-ins, and occasionally bonding hair in. The hair bonding caused more hair loss, so I stuck with sew-ins for a while until I realized that my hair needed to breathe and it needed a break! I always admired women like my Aunt Jean who have the confidence to cut their hair really low in a boy like fade, or the women who do away with the chemicals and go natural by doing nothing at all to their hair. I loved the bald heads, the fades, the afros, and even the dreads that I saw slowly but surely becoming popular in our culture. I believed them when they said HAIR DOES NOT DEFINE THEM. B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L is the best way to describe them.

However, I was not ready for such a drastic change. I knew starting over with my hair by cutting it off would give me best results but I had no patience to start all the way over. I cut my hair down as low as I thought would be necessary and I decided I would wear a wig. A WIG?!?! Did this girl just say a WIG? Yes aWIG! NO NOT A LACE FRONT …we aren’t there yet, give me a second! =) A W-I-G! One of those wigs that if I did a HAIR FLIP too hard yes ma’am it just may come off! I chose that direction because I needed to have something I could easily take off and put back on so that I could do extensive hair treatments to get my hair back healthy. This was very hard move for me to make because wigs, especially back then, were regarded as ridiculous, for old people, bald people, or as just something people just slapped on their head and went out looking like WHO DID IT AND WHY? OK BALD PEOPLE? REALLY? At that moment I was just about to be BALD from hair damage and I had no shame in my game. I found a wig I loved (her name is Princess) and I owned that wig and I still do! I was so apprehensive at first when choosing to wear a wig that I never thought that my confidence would get stronger than ever by wearing Princess. I got compliment after compliment, I began to change what color I wore from 1b to a 4 I even starting rocking 1b/27 ! Yes ma’am high lights in my 22 inch WIG! And everyone loved it! Shout out to the people who thought it was a sew in and big props to the people who knew it was a wig, asked me about it and I had no problem letting them know “GIRL THIS IS PRINCESS!” I love my wigs! I even went on to experiment with different ones, all the while my hair was restoring back to health! Talk about a WIN!

Those that know me best know that I get bored easily. Although I love my Princess wig and I still do to this day I felt the need to shake things up a bit. I occasionally went back to my sew-ins but I always ended back with old faithful…Princess! =) My hair was rapidly growing, which made me excited but I have never been one to just wear my own natural hair. I have a passion for hair extensions! I needed something new, but what? I would constantly read hair magazines, and Google celebrity hair styles to see what was new. I finally came across pictures of my favorite celebrity in the world, Beyonce, and I was fascinated! She too had left the micro/invisible braids behind and was wearing what looked like FABULOUS WEAVES! But wait! Why was her pony tail on top of her head? How was it slicked back so smoothly that I could not even see bulges from where her braids would be for her tracks! I just knew that this waist length blonde hair Beyonce was rocking didn’t just grow over night! I had to do some research and what I found changed my hair game and took it to an entirely different level.
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF FULL LACE FRONT WIGS!

I was so excited! TOTALLY BESIDE MYSELF! I had never heard anyone even speak of these full lace wigs! I felt like I had been let in on the celebrity’s secret and I wasn’t going to tell anyone, except my mom and sister of course! =) This was all I dreamed of for my hair! My hair was restoring slowly but surely, but most of my damage was along my hair line! The full lace wig is a hair system that gives the look of a natural hair line! IT’S A WIG MADE WITH LACE SO THIN ITS INVISIBLE TO THE HUMAN EYE! It looks as though the hair is coming right out your scalp. This was too good to be true! Now I had to figure out my next move, and that was being able to afford it and figuring out where to buy it. When I was first exposed to full lace wigs they were not as popular or known of as they are today. I remember wearing them, and women would come over to me and be like your hair is so gorgeous. But those that know me KNOW that I wore that sucker 20-24 inches long and thick! So for a while I had people confused and I loved it. My hair was a mystery, but a couple years later more women would find out and more companies would distribute the full lace wig, which eventually turned into lace front wigs because manufacturers began making the wig with machines and only putting lace around the front. It was disappointing, but that’s how our economy works. Full lace wigs were at first popular in the medical field. They weren’t even called wigs. The correct term is HAIR SYSTEM. The wigs were used for cancer patients or people who had diseases that caused hair loss. THE BEST FULL LACE WIG TO HAVE IS ONE THAT IS COMPLETELY HAND MADE! NO MACHINES!

So now my hair game was to the MAX! I rocked everything from sew-ins, quick weaves, wigs, and full lace front wigs. The next hair detail I began to focus on was the texture of the hair. For my sew-ins I loved milky-way! My mom always wore it, and to me it felt silky and nice. I begin to get curious about hair textures when I started wearing full lace front wigs. They had textures I did not even know existed! Let me give you the run down! They had: Chinese Virgin, Malaysian, Mongolian, Remy, Yaki Remy, Silky Remy, Curly Remy, Wavy Remy, European, and many more! I know ya’ll get the point! =) So I began wearing these textures of hair when I had my sew-ins! BINGO ! My weaves were definitely CERTIFIED!

The full lace wigs and the textures of weft human hair used for sew-ins seemed to be kept on the hush for a while! Now they are booming and you can find them anywhere! While doing your weave shopping I know that you know it can be difficult. You want the best for your money, and honestly during my experimenting I learned that YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. I feel that through my experience I lost my hair and I lost a lot of my confidence as well. I didn’t want to talk about it with anyone and I hid it from friends and family. Since I’ve overcome that and found hairstyles that make me confident I wanted to share my story with other women who may be going through the same thing! I’m here! Feel free to discuss anything!
