How to Do Twist Extensions

2009-02-16T01:01:00.000-08:00

Twist extensions are a very popular style, but until now, it has been difficult to do yourself. Sure you can have a professional do it, if you don’t mind not being able to blink for 2 weeks, losing half of your hairline, and forking over a couple hundred dollars. So if you would like to do this style on your own, follow my simple instructions.

Step1

Purchase Twist extension hair. In this case, Kanakelon that has been texturized works best. It comes in many different packages and names, so just look for packaged hair that looks like dreadlocks.

Step2

Part off a section of hair to be twisted.

Step3

Taking a section of artificial hair, fold the artificial hair in half and wrap the center around the section of hair on your head. At this point, you will have 4 sections in your hands ready for braiding.

Step4

Combine one section of the hair on your head and one section of the extension hair so that you have 3 sections ready for braiding.

Step5

Braid the hair for 3 or 4 links.

Step6

Combine the lone strand of your hair with the lone strand extension hair, so that you have 2 sections in your hand.

Step7

Begin twisting the two remaining sections while twirling the strands between your fingers at the same time to ensure that the fake hair and real hair do not separate.

How to Apply Clip on Hair Extensions

2009-02-02T00:33:00.000-08:00

Clip on Hair Extensions method:

1. Measure the width of the weft you want to wear and cut TWO pieces to the size you want. The above weft is 8 inches wide.

2. This step is optional. But it gives you a thicker weft. Sew the two wefts together. This will give you one weft but it will be twice as thick.

3. Using an ordinary needle and cotton, sew the clips onto the weft. The rubber strip on the clip should be touching the hair.

4. The clips should be sewn on the weft about every 3 inches. Sew each side of the clip securely.

5. Section the hair as required.

6. Clip the extensions into your own hair.

What are the different type of hair

2009-01-12T02:38:00.000-08:00

Hair type is determined by the hair's natural condition - that is , by the amount of sebum the body produces. Treatment programs such as perming, coloring and heat styling will also have an effect on hair type. Finding out which type of hair you possess is the first step to beautiful hair.

Natural hair types and those produced by applying various treatments are described below, together with advice on haircare where appropriate.

Thin or fine straight hair is best cut into a textured short style, or softly permed to give additional volume.

Medium textured and straight hair is very adaptable. If hair is in super condition a bob is ideal. Perming is also perfect for a full, curly look.

Fine curly hair needs precision cutting to keep it under control.

Thin, wispy hair is difficult to grow long and is often better styled shorter.

Thick and strong hair usually has a mind of its own. A mid-length cut is probably easiest to handle. Excess frizziness can be brought under control by combing with a wide toothed comb and dampening with water to re-set curls.

Different Hair Types

Normal Hair

Oily Hair

Dry Hair

Combination Hair

Fine Hair

Frizzy Hair

Colored or Permed Hair is very often more porous than untreated hair, so it needs gentle cleansers and good conditioners. Color care products help prevent fading by protecting the hair from damaging rays of sunlight. Specialist products for permed hair help maintain elasticity by giving longer lasting results.

Benefits of Human Hair Extensions

2008-12-13T01:43:00.000-08:00

Several different types of hair extensions are available, including those made from human hair, animal hair, and synthetic fibers. Most experts agree that human hair extensions are the best and most natural looking. With human hair extensions, wearers are not locked into a particular color or style. The extensions can be washed, colored, and styled just like your own natural hair. Such a wide variety of human hair extensions are available that stylists can easily match the color and texture of your own hair with.

With expert selection, professional application, and conscientious care, human hair extensions are virtually indistinguishable from your own natural hair.
Human hair extensions are available in two basic formats — strands and wefts. The strands format involves adding small sections of hair to your existing hair. Wefts are large clumps of hair attached at the top. Human hair extensions can be applied in a variety of ways. One popular method is to sew the extensions into small cornrows. Professionals will often sew strands with subtle color variations — this tends to give the extensions a more natural look. Hair extensions can also be weaved, braided, fused, clamped, or glued.

Beyond the different formats, there are also large varieties of hair types available. Hair from most regions of the world is available, including Asia, Europe, and the Arctic. Arctic hair is chemically untreated, also known as raw or virgin. This hair is considered the best as it is most open to coloring, perming, and styling.

What is Remy Hair

2008-12-01T02:12:00.000-08:00

* Why buy Remy hair (cuticle hair)?
This hair is truly our most exceptional ever. It is cut from one person’s head & sewn in the same direction hair naturally grows. Unlike other commercial hair The Cuticle is just like nature intended it to be. Texture is silky soft with subtle waves. Cuticle hair is created by careful processing which leaves the cuticle layer of the hair in place. The result is a superior hair item that colors beautifully - it has the highlights and natural shading just like your hair.

* What is Remy Hair?
Human hair collected directly from a hair donor is Remy Hair. It is sometimes referred to as Cuticle Hair, Virgin Hair and Cut Hair. The majority of human hair sold in the industry is non-cuticle hair. The hair cuticle has been stripped by using an acid-bath. With Remy hair we do not do this so the hair cuticle is intact, therefore the hair is stronger.

* How is it collected?
Remy hair is collected by appointment directly from the hair donor. The hair is tied in one direction, harvested and the result is unstripped hair cuticle in addition natural direction of the hair is preserved. Hair that is collected at random, not keeping track of the natural direction will tangle when it gets wet. Even though some part of the hair cuticle will be treated in the coloring process, hair shaft will be left healthy enough to keep its original functions. With Remy hair the cuticle is always going in one direction as on a natural head of hair, so it does not tangle.

* What is the advantage of Remy Hair?
Nicest feel and touch - Remy hair is stronger. Remy hair is soft and has a finer feel to it. This is the hair that movie stars and rich people use. It is so nice, that everybody who tries it loves it. Remy hair lasts longer, keeps vitality and elasticity, colors better (enhancing color consistency over 95% to that of synthetic- fiber), easier to comb and it curls better. The most impressive advantage of Remy hair is tangle-free and long life (three times longer than most wigs).

Below are examples of Remy Hair Hair Extensions

Black Hair Clip On Hair Extensions

2008-11-16T21:46:00.000-08:00

Clip On Hair Extensions For Black Hair Beauties

Clip on hair extensions offer “Black Hair Clip on Hair Extensions” endless possibilities. The idea of adding instant length to our hair has taken huge leaps and bounds since hair extensions first surfaced some years back. Rightfully so, I mean really now ladies think about it, how many women do you think are willing to fork out hundreds of dollars regularly and endless hours in the salon to have a little extra added, temporary length to their hair? And if that isn’t painful enough, these salon hair extensions have been notorious for breakingoff the good healthy hair you might have had in the first place. (Remember Paris Hilton?) Whew, no wonder why so many of you didn’t give the idea a second thought.

Don’t get me wrong, I love extra add-on hair, clip on hair extensions and partial wigs. There will always be a big market for these easy to use accessories. I have a number of different styles of the synthetic stuff in all different shapes and sizes. I’ve been a consumer of extra added hair for years, I think it may be a compulsion of sorts.

Thank the lord for the way consumerism and the marketplace works. We now have available instant, beautiful, sexy hair that’s quick-n-easy to achieve AND at an affordable price! (I’m not selling for anyone here, I promise.) OH . . . did I forget to mention, it would take a professional hair-weaver to recognize the extra accessory you are wearing with the new clip on hair extensions? I swear, even your Mother won’t know for sure.

The clip on hair extensions I’m most familiar with are from Ken Paves of HairUWear. A few months back I attended a Beauty Show where these hair extensions were being marketed. They looked great. I’m not kidding, check out this video of Ken Paves, of the infamous “Jessica Simpson Hair Extensions,” doing a 5 minute makeover. He does two black hair glamorous looks on this woman in minutes and teaches her how to do it at the same time.

What are Corn-row Extensions

2008-11-10T21:26:00.001-08:00

Corn-row Extensions are simply wefts of hair/lines of hair that are sewn/weaved onto a tiny braid that is made from your own hair. This braid is called a corn-row or track. The braids run horizontally around the back of your head underneath your hairline so you can't see them. The crown area of your own hair covers the top braid making the extensions undetectable.

Once the braids are done, the wefts are sewn onto them and then your own crown area hair is blended with and combed over the extensions. From now on you have to think of the extensions as your hair.

If you have higlighted hair or with more than two colours going through their hair. You cannot mix hair with the cornrow system. The hair wefts that are sewn onto the braid come in block colour. The Extend magic system is ideal for mixing hair colour.
However if you wish to go a completly different colour without having to dye your own hair you can acieve this

by the Corn-row system.

Best Hair Conditioner

2008-11-04T19:30:00.000-08:00

A super-easy, homemade hair conditioner is a cinch to make. And it doesn't matter the type or condition of hair, it's effective regardless.

Recipe:

a little Extra Virgin Olive Oil
a matching amount of honey
splash of apple cider vinegar, more for fine hair types

Mix in a bowl. Apply to just washed hair. Wrap in a warm towel over plastic cap. Wash out when cooled with shampoo and warm water.

That's it. The honey acts as a natural humectant, which means it draws moisture into the hair strands. It also eliminates the look of split ends, essentially gluing them together! The e.v.o.o. moisturizes in the fact that it's very similar to hair in it's makeup. The vinegar keeps it from weighing down the hair after you wash it out. It also balances the hair's pH, so it's not only amazingly clean, but naturally soft.

The Benefits of Clip-on Hair Extensions

2008-10-27T22:15:00.000-07:00

We all need a change every now and then. From our clothes to the music we listen to, a little bit of variety is great sometimes. So, why should we have the same hairstyle day in and day out? With hair extensions, we can look and feel like a new person -- any time we want to.

Regular hair extensions must be weaved, braided, sewed, or glued -- that's more of a commitment than some people are willing to make. What's more, it can be quite expensive. If you want a little hair variety without the time or financial commitment, consider a clip-on hair extension.

Clip-on hair extensions are a temporary way to change your look, either for fun and style or as a test drive for "real" hair extensions. Some clip-on hair extensions are small sections of hair attached to metal clips, much like barrettes. This type of clip-on hair extension is not meant to be used alone and you will need at least three or four of them. You simply clip the extension wherever you need added volume or body. Then the hair can be styled as usual. These hair extensions can be either synthetic or natural.

Another type of clip-on hair extension is already pre-styled and used as created. A popular style for this type is the ponytail. These extensions are widely available at department stores, beauty supply stores and some grocery stores. They are generally synthetic and low-cost with a short lifespan.

Though experts say the clip-on hair extensions are easy to work with, you can have a hairdresser apply them if you prefer.

How to Perm Hair?

2008-07-28T22:32:00.000-07:00

1. The hair is washed by clarifying shampoo;
2. The hair is tightly wound around a curler or a rod;
3. The perm lotion is applied to the hair;
4. After a while the perm lotion is thoroughly rinsed;
5. A neutralising lotion is applied;
6. A failure to rinse and neutralise properly can lead to many problems.
7. The hair should not be washed for two to three days.
8. Cut your hair after you perm.
9. If your perm does not take you should wait a while before getting a new one.
10. Because permed hair can be dry, avoid over-use of irons, hot combs, and high-speed blow dryers.
11. Use hair care and styling products that are specifically recommended for permed hair.
12. Wait one week to color your permed hair.
13. If the curls have dropped, use curl boosters and cut down on washings.
14. Avoid bleaching permed hair.

Very fine hair is the worst hair to perm. It needs the minimum amount of perming solution and processing time.

Very straight, coarse hair is often resistant to perms.

Greasy Hair Tips

2008-07-28T22:29:00.000-07:00

Try to avoid daily washing. The sebaceous glands are overstimulated, secreting more grease onto the hair. This creates a vicious circle where the more you wash is the greasier it becomes.

Another problem with regular washing is that although the roots are greasy the rest of your hair is stripped of oil and the ends become dry and brittle. Use a mild ph-balanced shampoo and wash hair without rubbing the scalp too much. Only apply conditioner to the mid and ends rather than at the roots.

Watch your diet. Oily and fatty foods can contribute to greasy skin and scalp. Best of all is to use those days when you're at home to give your hair a rest from
daily washing. Try using a children's shampoo as these are often mild enough for greasy hair.

Dry Hair Tips

2008-07-28T22:24:00.001-07:00

Dry, coarse and brittle hair needs to be nourished from within; a conditioner that just rinses out won't do the job. Use an intensive moisturising shampoo which will cleanse without excessive rubbing (which will damage the hair more) and follow with a hot oil conditioner. Heat opens up the hair cuticles allowing the moisturiser to penetrate the hair shaft giving it suppleness, bounce and movement. Mousse on dry hair will make it look dull, use a blow drying or thickening lotion instead.

Frizzy Hair Tips

2008-07-28T22:23:00.001-07:00

Keep your hair well conditioned with a rich moisturising product. The hairstyle is also important. If your hair is very frizzy you don't want too many layers. Have a few longish ones that will allow your hair to flow. Always use a diffuser when blowdrying which will help control the frizz but will not remove all the body.

Grey Hair Tips

2008-07-28T22:21:00.000-07:00

If you only have a little grey a semi-permanent colour wash (stays for six to eight washes) will cover it. For more than 30 per cent grey then a quasi colour covers grey whilst keeping a natural look. When you go grey in patches, a permanent tint or a foil and tone technique - where highlights are woven around the top and crown and a semi-permanent colour is put through the rest of the hair - is the only way to cover up. This creates warmth and depth throughout the hair.

Hair Colouring

2008-07-28T22:17:00.000-07:00

The more of your hair you colour the more noticeable the regrowth will be, particularly when going blonder, and the more colour you apply the greater the damage. For that blonde look a few carefully chosen highlights, focusing the lighter ones around the face will give a natural look without obvious regrowth. When colouring light hair remember dye will always come out darker than shown on the box so if, for example, you want dark brown hair choose a mid-brown colour.

Hair Style for Thin Hair

2008-07-28T21:59:00.000-07:00

Thin hair can easily be disguised by a really good cut. The natural look is back in fashion so go for a style that suits your hair type as well as your face shape rather than trying to get your hair to do something which doesn't come naturally.

Choose a style that is not too long and shaped into the nape of the neck. There are a variety of products that can also help. Thickening shampoos work well and also make the hair more controllable. A semi-permanent vegetable wash-in colour can also give a feeling of thickness. Careful drying with a blow dry lotion can also help control flyaway static hair.

Faster Hair Growth Tips

2008-07-26T03:47:00.000-07:00

So you’re eating a good diet and exercising regularly but your hair is still only growing 1cm a month? Try incorporating the following methods into your routine, and you may experience an increase in your hair’s natural growth rate.

Biotin supplements can be bought online, or in large pharmacies. Also known as Vitamin H, Biotin is a favourite among women wanting to grow their hair long as fast as possible.

Drinking cranberry juice and green tea will boost your body’s immune system, keep your eyes and hair shiny, and it keeps your skin clear as well. Detoxifying your body is important for overall health, but in my experience it has also boosted my hair’s growth rate. Since I began having green tea after every meal and drinking cranberry juice every day, both my hair and nails began growing faster, probably from the detox I was giving my body.

The main objective in increasing your hair’s natural growth rate is staying as healthy as possible. If you can do that, whilst including a weekly scalp massage, daily Biotin supplements, and antioxidants in your diet, you should see an increase in your hair’s growth rate within a month of beginning your new routine.

Curl and Lift Hair style Maintenance

2008-07-26T03:11:00.000-07:00

Steps to make Curl and Lift Hair style:

1. Hair is shampooned and conditioned
2. Work mousse all through the hair from the ends to the roots making sure all the hair is covered.
3. Dry the hair using the dryer and allow the curls to sit in the diffuser cup encourages curl formation while the warm air gently dries the hair.
4. Working on one section of hair at a time, crimp the root area.Clasp the hair between the plates of hot crimper and hold for a few seconds before releasing.
5. The first section of hair is crimped at the root.
6. Continue in this manner crimping the front area of hair.Mist hair with styling spray and arrange with your fingers.

Natural Hair Color Tips

2008-07-26T02:44:00.000-07:00

Women have been colouring their hair for decades, but recently a new trend has emerged - the return to their natural hair colour. Also known as 'virgin' hair, your natural hair colour is likely to be the most flattering for your face, as well as being extra shiny from not being tortured with hair colourants. It takes years to grow out hair colour damage, but when you do, you will notice the difference in your hair's feel and appearance.

Unless you're going grey, there's no reason why you can't return to your natural colour. Cut as much off as you can stand and make the commitment to yourself not to colour it again in an impulsive moment. It won't look its best for a while, and if you're growing out blonde hair it may look downright ugly - if this is the case, keep dying the lengths of your hair while leaving the roots alone. Take hair vitamins to speed up the growth process, and have the dyed hair trimmed every three to six months. It'll look healthier with every trim, and by the time you have more natural hair than coloured hair, the growth line will be far less noticeable.

And once all that hair has grown out and landed on the salon floor, you'll have easy-to-manage, shiny hair that suits your face and features perfectly. You'll also save a lot of money, while staying on trend.

Hair Style Suggestions

2008-07-26T02:40:00.000-07:00

There are two basic types of hair extensions. The first are individual extensions which work best with straight hair, silky hair, fine hair or slightly wavy hair. A good stylist can add them so they’ll look very natural with the movement of your hair. About 18-20 extensions need to be weaved with the natural hair and then secured at their base with a superfine, high strength thread. Although some stylists like to use bonding glue, it’s suggested you don’t allow this because it can damage your natural hair.

The second kind of extensions are wefts. They are groups of extensions attached to a band. These are heavier and bulkier than the individual ones but they are superb for extending length and/or adding height to medium-to-thick textured hair. They’re attached by sewing them directly onto “tracts” (horizontal braids) fashioned from your own hair. The wefts lay under your natural hair, horizontally against your scalp.

The best extensions are customized just for you. They should be chosen and customized to fit your facial structure, needs and lifestyle. They should be flattering in length, texture, shape and color. You need to be sure the look you select suits you well.

Extensions made of 100% human hair make the best extensions. If you have very straight or silky hair, some beauticians prefer to add in a little synthetic hair because its coarser texture lets it adhere more easily to the natural hair.

Once you’re had the extensions added to your hair, they’re, well, your own hair. But, a more delicate hair which needs to be well cared for. No teasing please and no hard tugging either. Use milder products on your hair and when you shampoo, use gentle wiggling motions and travel down towards of end of your hair. It’s good to use conditioner but please use just on the middle and ends of your hair; if used at the base, it might loosen the carefully woven in strands of hair. When towel drying, squeeze gently to remove the moisture. Before you brush your hair, run your fingers through the hair extensions and use a soft bristled hairbrush. Tie you hair back when exercising, participating in rough sports and sleeping. If well-cared for, they can last upwards of three months.

How to avoid hair disasters?

2008-07-26T02:30:00.000-07:00

If you're bored with your hair's current length and want a change, make sure you do your research before committing to a new style. Most hair disasters occur when you haven't thought about it enough, and you choose to do something impulsive.

Short hair is not for everyone - there's face shape and lifestyle factors to think about - and you will be changing your image in the eyes of others as well. And yes, long hair can be boring, but there are countless ways to make it more interesting without going for the big chop. Having a trim, getting layers cut in, or getting highlights are all ways that you can change your look without moving into hair-disaster territory.

The major thing to remember is to not become impulsive, especially when you're in the hairdresser's chair. If you feel you may get impulsive it's best to avoid to salon altogether, as we often regret in our leisure the things we do in haste. Learn to love your hair at every length, think carefully before making any big changes, and you'll be doing all you can to avoid those unsightly hair disasters.

Short Hair Care Tips

2008-07-26T02:15:00.000-07:00

* For shiniest short hair, using a shine spray or cream puts the glow back into short hair styles.
* Trim often. Every four to six weeks will keep your short hair in style.
* Daily washing of hair is nearly a necessity for short hairstyles. Natural oils are much more evident on short styles and an oily sheen just isn’t the same as a healthy shine!
* Short hair can cut conditioner needs right out of your budget! You will only need it if your hair is naturally very dry. Even so, a little hair conditioner goes a long way. Condition only the ends of short hairstyles.
* Short hair cut doesn’t have to be flat! Spritz a volumizer onto your roots after shampooing and before blow-drying.
* Hold your blow dryer at bay. Too much heat can quickly damage short hair, taking the shine from your style and adding the frizz! Blow dry only until hair is damp and let it finish drying naturally.

Hair Extensions New Trend

2008-07-26T01:00:00.000-07:00

During a photo shooting in the trend-metropolis Milan Hairdreams and their team made up of trend scouts and international top-stylists have demonstrated the new fashion and hair trends on models that were deliberately chosen because their own hair was not suitable for these new hairstyles. With the help of high quality real hair from Hairdreams and the brand-new hair extension and hairstyling system LaserbeamerXP the existing shortcomings where easily and quickly overcome and the new trends were perfectly put into the limelight.

The Back&White Style with elegant, contrast rich black-white outfits matched especially well by long, compact bobs and glamorous page cuts.

The new Romantic-Style with ruffles, pastel colors and floral prints, which could be admired on many celebrities just recently at the Oscar and Grammy Awards, goes well with shiny hair that has playful curls and waves.

The new sixties-style with a-shaped dresses in strong colors and geometrical patterns that are best worn with the new, short and geometrical bobs, that can be “souped up” with intense color effects and/or partial, asymmetrical extensions.

Permanent Hair Extensions Maintenance

2008-07-23T02:06:00.000-07:00

With regard to permanent hair extensions, which in truth can only ever be semi permanent hair extensions, a great deal of my research was not favourable. Messages were full of dire warnings about hair coming out in lumps because of poor extension application, glue clumping or worse than poor application - disastrous hair extension removal.Whichever method permanent extensions are attached, it is best if they are shampooed just twice a week.

According to articles everywhere, how extensions stayed put on an individual head, was certainly dependent on the method and skill of the application. Even then, there would be a strong chance of shedding with time. Alarm bells rang for me - maintenance on hair extensions seemed heavy to me. I drew the conclusion they were not for me. I also pondered on the fact that I simply might not like wearing them 24/7 especially with the don't wash them daily advice. Many had to keep using them because they had used extensions too often without resting the scalp and hair. Then it became more and more difficult to rectify scalp damage without having hair cut pixie short.

The wearer is also responsible for looking after the extensions well too. A scratchy plastic ball end hairbrush should never be used on extensions. The use of the correct hairbrush such as a Mason Pearson or a paddle brush is important. The best comb to use is a saw tooth comb rather than a cheap moulded comb, which can catch and break extension hair and your own hair.

Sleeping on the hair in an awkward way can pull at your own hair, so can leaning back and catching the long hair extensions when driving. All this can create extra stress and breakage on your own hair.

However they may well be for you for a special event. Daily wear of them simply does not appeal to me. Instead I decided to opt for clip-in human hair extensions. I knew I only wanted to wear the hair extensions for occasional use rather than everyday. Even clip-in extensions if put in incorrectly or removed without care can also cause a little hair damage too. But clip in hair extensions may be perfect for photographic makeovers and the like.

Hair Extensions Myths

2008-07-08T01:46:00.000-07:00

There are many common myths about hair extensions that you will hear repeated over and over again. Here are 3 common myths about hair extension.

1. Hair extensions do not cause any type of damage to your hair. This is something that many hair extension companies will say. The truth is, you are attaching additional hair to your natural hair by one of many different methods. The added hair can cause extra stress on your natural hair at the roots, because of the extra weight and at the point of attachment, where the extension is attached. Every method of hair extensions has the potential to cause serious damage to your hair. The key to minimizing any damage to your hair is to select your stylist and hair extension method very carefully. A well trained hair extension stylist that uses a quality hair extension product can attach hair extensions to the natural hair with very little damage.

2. Hair extensions are undetectable. No matter what method of hair extensions you go with, there will be a point of attachment. You will definitely be able to tell that there is an extension in your hair. The key to making the hair extensions less detectable to other people is again a well trained hair extension stylist with experience at blending in the extensions with your natural hair.

3. Cheap hair extensions are just as good as the high priced ones. When it comes to hair extensions (there may be a few exceptions) the more money you pay, you are likely to be getting better quality hair and a better trained hair extension stylist. Human hair that has very little processing is more expensive and will tend to last longer without tangles. A high priced hair extension stylist is likely to have attended special hair extension training classes and received many hours of training. They charge higher prices because they must recover all of their costs for training and upgraded equipment.
