What is the difference between single and double drawn hair?

Single Drawn-Non Remy is hackled and trimmed on both sides and it will have uniform sizes. Taken from several donors. This can be prepared from Temple cut hair, which is remi, or from comb waste, which is collected in villages and in houses. This hair is used for manufacturing of Wigs, Hair Pieces, and Men's Toupees etc.

Double Drawn hair is hackled and trimmed on one side. Taken from one donor. All the hair is in one direction, i.e. all the roots will be at one end of the processed bundle. This high quality process allows for a very small percentage of hair to be outside the specified length of the bundle.This processing keeps the hair from tangling after it is bleached or dyed. This is very popular in Europe with the high quality hair extension who prefer this type of processing for their products.This hair is collected from Temples (particularly ladies hair).

Do you have instructions on applying /removing the lace frontal hairpiece?

Application
Prepare the hairline by cleaning it with rubbing alcohol. Oily skin weakens the bond of the adhesives and prevents the strongest hold.
To apply the lace frontal, place the hairpiece on your head for a trial, note where you would like your hairline to began. You should position it along the edge of your natural hairline.

Cut the lace until you have your desired hairline. Gradually trim the excess lace, small amounts off at a time.

Apply adhesive to the underside of the hairpiece, and apply tension by pressing the hairpiece and adhesive to your head. Use a blow dryer on low heat (never hot) to ensure a secure hold. Press the unit and glued area down on your head while blow drying on low heat.

After you have created your hairline, apply adhesive .Now cut and style and show off your new work of art!

Removal
Pull all hair up into a ponytail, to avoid getting adhesive on the hair.

Apply the lace adhesive remover to the adhesive around perimeter of hairline. Let the adhesive remover work for 5 min. Do not pull or tug on the hairpiece. After 5 min the unit should be easily taken off. Gradually remove the lace, slowly. Be sure not to pull at the lace.

After you have removed the lace, there may be some residue left on the unit. So follow the directions of the adhesive remover you are using,

Next, shampoo and condition the unit.

Let the unit dry naturally
