My Rolling In The Carolinas Wig

Last weekend The Philly Bombshells ( the female rollerskate club that I belong to) and I went to Charlotte North Carolina for 2 days of skating, socializing and the launch of my new online store CWrightWigs.com.

I wanted to share my journey with you as much as I can . There's so much to be done.  


Check out the wig that I built for myself to wear for the weekend. I had less than a day to do it smh....so pressed for time but I turned out GREAT!

I used a horseshoe pattern track placement until I reached the crown, Black Nylon Tread & a C-Curved Needle  to build this wig

Logo Inspiration to Creation

I went to Michael's Arts & Craft store to purchase sewing machine thread for a wig project I was working on and instantly became inspired .

 I knew exactly what I needed and should have been in and out. Quick purchase and done. But I can NEVER do that, I always walk up and down the aisles of this store to give my creativity a gilt. Just as I  decided to end my stroll and head to the check out area I found the best display collection ever. The colors spoke to me and stopped me in my tracks. This was the color combination that I wanted for my new brand. 

C. Wright Wigs & Hair Peace logo was inspired by these images and design.

Laser Hair Therapy: Phase 1 Week 2

I have to be perfectly honest ......

I suck at taking my nutritional supplements everyday and using the Minoxidil . The nutritional supplements are supposed to be taken twice a day with food. Because I have irregular eating habits I tend to forget. And I should mention that I really don't like taking pills, I forget to take them or push it off till later. 

I am a little better with the  Minoxidil. That's supposed to be applied to the scalp twice a day (morning and night). Life as a hairstylist is like that song by Marsha Ambrosius "Late Nights and Early Mornings"....I'm beat when I get in the house, I dive head first into my pillow and snooze the shit out of my alarm in the mornings....lol I forget about the Minoxidil. 

But I did do my laser treatments this week and I shampooed my hair with the products once this week (not twice as recommenced)

I will do better for week 3 with my home products. If anybody has suggestions on being more diligent with taking my nutritional supplements please share below or on my facebook page The C.Wright Beauty Experience

My hair loss history:

1. Left Side Hairline and Temple
2. Right Side Hairline and Temple
3. Center Crown
4. Front View

Sitting with my feet up ,listening to soft
 music . Stress free- Cell phone free zone

This is my first treatment. I slept for the 30 minute session. My head was dipping like a babble- head doll. Very relaxing.

MaryAnn is setting the 30 min time
on the machine for the session

I can not see anything with the eye wear on.
You can see the Laser Lights in this pic

I could feel when the machine was on and I could feel when the machine went off. It did not burn, feel warm or sting but I could feel activity in my scalp which was the blood circulating. 

I will start using the products next week.

Laser Hair Therapy EXPLAINED

Laser Treatment for Hair Loss

A relatively new addition to the tools that some trichologists use to combat hair loss is laser treatment. Here are some facts about this effective method. 

Low Level Laser therapy as a Medical Treatment

Low-level laser light therapy (LLLLT) is a form of physical medicine. Physical medicine uses stimulation therapy to activate the body's natural defense mechanisms, ie. through bio-stimulation. 

What is Laser "Radiation"?

The name LASER is short for Light Amplification by Stimulation Emission of Radiation. Laser light and devices are sometimes referred to as laser emitting, laser producing, laser radiation, etc. This terminology is confusing. There is NO radiation in the sense we normally refer to as radiation. Lasers produce light highin energy, nothing else (even sunlight is a type of radiation). No radioactivity or dangerous energy is produced. Radiation with laser does not imply that your head will get fried! The last light is used as a 'cold light'.

Is Laser Hair Care Safe?

The type of lasers used by trichologists is non-surgical therapeutic lasers. Some trichologists use the most powerful laser that is safe for cosmetic purposes (and which complies with international laser safety standards). Laser Hair Care is approved for cosmetic use in the EEC and US as a Certified Class 3A laser by the Food and Drug Administration, which has the most rigid standards in the world and fully complies with Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act. the energy produced by the photons does not have the thermal componet that causes injuries to users or operators. Laser light energy does not alter molecular structures, it stimulates the body's mechanism to repair and heal itself.

Benefits of Laser Therapy

• Increases scalp blood flow and follicle microcirculation by 20% to 30%. 
• Increases nutrient supply to enhance hair growth
• Stimulates and accelerates hair growth.
• Reduces excess levels of skin 5-alpha reductase and dihydrotestestosterone (DHT), the hormones that contribute to genetic thinning.
• Relieves scalp conditions such as psoriasis, seborrhoeic dermatitis, itchy/scaling scalp due to the laser's anti-inflammatory effects.
• Reduces excessive sebum production in cases of over activity/scalp greasiness, thus reducing pore clogging and preventing enlarged sebaceous gland formation.
• Reduces tight, tender scalp.
• An effective adjunct therapy for pre- and post- hair transplantation procedures.

Female pattern baldness and thinning runs in my family very heavily. My mother, my aunts on my mother's side and even my 2 year old niece has the same hairline pattern. With my being a hair stylist I've done a lot of things to my hair that I would never do for my clients and would scold them for. Relaxing & coloring to frequently, weaving and wearing wigs over the years has contributed to my thinning hairline and crown.

I am going though the same program as my clients. This is a huge commitment for me because I will not be able to wear weaves  during this process...Wigs it is lol....Well, Falls and half wigs (no tension to the hairline.

I will be extremely candid and honest during this process every step of the way. Tones of pictures, videos and reviews.

Follow me though my hair growth journey for healthier, fuller hair.
I work as a wig designer and hair replacement specialist at Maryanne Studios. Located in Wayne, Pa on 205 W. Lancaster Av. (610)687-5700. I will get my laser hair therapy treatments in between my clients. (Wish me luck).

Wig Word Of The Day: Synthetic Hair

Synthetic Hair:

Plastic fibers that are made to resemble hair. It is the cheapest and most versatile material that wigs are made of. Some other names for synthetic wig fibers include modacrylic, kanekelon, and elura.

Synthetic hair is NOT heat resistant. Curling irons and any other heat styling tools should Not be used. And try to stay clear of the oven while baking cause your bangs will singe if you stick your head in to far...fyi
