Benefits of Human Hair Extensions

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

* 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).

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?)

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!

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.

What are Corn-row Extensions

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

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

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.
