Clip-in Hair Extensions

One of the biggest problems with permanent pre-bonded extensions is that they are expensive and need to be applied professionally. Another option is to use clip-in hair extensions. These clip in extensions can be clipped in yourself without the need of hiring a professional.

5 Ways to Add Volume to Fine Hair

July 4th, 2011

Hi there!

Today’s blog reviews the most popular ways to add some oomph to fine hair and assesses how much damage you could be doing to your delicate hair-shafts in the process! As a hair care professional, who also has very fine hair, I’ve tried every possible method over the years and faced a lot of disappointment along the way!

Fine hair is not necessarily thinning hair, but it often looks that way. It has the advantage of being silky soft, but it also lacks body and volume and lies very flat to the head.

Some of the methods used to add body and volume to fine hair cause hair-shaft damage, so read on and find out the best – and worst – ways to thicken your hair:

1. Bleached highlights in fine hair will add volume and texture, but the highlighted sections need a good moisturizing shampoo and conditioner to counteract the drying effect.

2. Spritzing the roots with salty water to give it texture and ‘roughness’, is just asking for trouble for thin, fine hair. The same applies to hair-thickening products like gels and mousses which will certainly have a strong drying effect on your delicate hair and make it brittle.

3. The latest generation perms are good for giving root lift and general volume, but you’ll need to use a very Read the rest of this entry »

Do Hair Extensions Damage Natural Hair – The Facts

June 30th, 2011

Hi Bloggers!

This is the most common question I hear about human hair extensions and today I’m going to answer it in full.

Human hair extensions do not damage your own hair. When you hear about women who have had problems with hair extensions, the damage is usually the result of the technician or the wearer ignoring some basic rules.

Dry hair

Don’t have extensions fitted to hair that isn’t completely healthy. If your hair is dry and brittle before you have pre bonded hair extensions or wefts fitted, you won’t be able to use any oil-based conditioning products and have the regular trims you need to get your natural hair back to its best.

For hair that’s not in tip-top condition, it’s best to use temporary clip-in human hair extensions, that you can wear for just a couple of hours or up to 5 days at a time.

Brushing too hard

Clients who don’t care for their extensions properly tend to blame the extensions Read the rest of this entry »

Complete Guide to Hair Types & Textures in Hair Extensions

March 22nd, 2011

Today’s blog answers your questions about the different types of hair used in real hair extensions. First of all, let’s deal with Remy and non-Remy hair (and this information refers to full head ‘clip in’ hair extensions too).

At first glance it’s not easy to tell any difference, because all expensive or cheap hair extensions are sprayed with silicone before packaging, which makes the hair appear silky and smooth.

However, when you’ve washed your new hair extensions for short hair just once – you’ll quickly find out whether they are Remy or non-Remy!

Remy hair extensions

Remy hair extensions still have the cuticles intact and flowing in one direction from root to tip, like your own hair. This means that Remy extensions won’t tangle or shed when you brush them. ‘Cuticle correct’ Remy hair retains its shine and elasticity and is as easy to style as your own hair.
