Lace Front Kinky Handtied Wigs
In terms of hair pieces lasting a long time and being very resilient the base materials used to do this job are silicone and polyurethane. These two materials are used together due to their individual properties. The silicone is very durable which adds strength and longevity to the base. It is also resistant to the corrosive elements produced in sweat. Unfortunately silicone doesn't colour very well with dyes and this is where polyurethane comes in. Although polyurethane is not as durable as silicone and attacked by skin acids it can be easily dyed to resemble the scalp skin tones. This is why the two materials are often used together in the same base. Due to the fact that these materials aren't permeable to water and air they are said to not breathe. This means that they are often seen as warm and uncomfortable to wear.I recently came across an article that attempted to explain the origins of Afro-textured hair. It spoke about this hair type being an adaptive trait which was necessary to facilitate protection from the harsh sunlight in Africa. The article characterized Afro-textured hair as being "sparsely distributed" allowing for easier aeration of the scalp and hence better regulation of body temperature on the African savannas. The impact of colonization saw a disruption of native African life and native civilizations, which inevitably affected their hair care at the time.
