Lace wigs are fantastic. They are the wig of choice in the entertainment industry and are worn by style icons such as Beyonce and Tyra Banks. They can range from incredibly expensive, to incredibly inexpensive. The difference is – the quality of hair. There are various different types of hair, notably we have remy hair, (which is the finest), there is horse hair and synthetic hair, and finally there is processed hair, which is a mix of low-quality, chemically treated human hair, with synthetic and various animal hairs added to lower the price. You have to be extremely careful when selecting hair, purely because a lace wig with processed hair would not last as long as a wig with remy hair. It is often hair that has been illegally obtained which is of the lowest quality because those that steal the hair are not interested in maintaining it; they are simply interested in making a little bit of quick cash. Remy hair is of the highest quality, and virgin hair has never been chemically treated (I.e. it has never been permed or coloured) which makes it even more sought after. The outer layer of a strand of remy hair holds all the cuticles, and when these are all in the...more

The style of realism is just that point blank, real. What the artist sees in their eyes, there is no interpretation or adding of anything. It is the capturing of people or objects as they really are with no flourishing. The attempt of the artist is usually to capture what the subject or object in a very real, direct way. No abstraction and imagination just figures and objects doing normal everyday things that they do even if it was a rather grim or ugly picture.This is in opposition to idealism which tends to create a scenario of what life and situations should be like in an idealistic world. Idealism added what the artist or imagination thought the world could be like with some improvements and embellishments. Realism is the total opposite and sometimes does not paint a pretty picture of the world but rather a real sometimes ugly portrayal of life where only truth of exactly what the eyes see is portrayed quite often commonplace subjects.During the mid 1800's realism grew in popularity, not just in painting style but in literature as well. There are strong ties to political reform throughout the time period and can be linked with the social atmosphere of the times....more
