Human Hair Extensions – Types of Human Hair Extensions

Choosing the right type of hair extension is crucial. While synthetic hair extensions are often cheaper, this does not mean they are a good bargain. More and more salons are turning to human hair extensions because they are higher quality, last longer, and are harder to spot. There are several different types of human hair used for extensions, each with advantages and disadvantages. The three most common types are European, Asian, and Indian. Salons might use one or all three of these hair types. You will need to ask before you make a final decision.

You must confirm with your hair extension specialist where the hair has come from. 100% human Remy European hair is the finest hair you will source from around the world. It is very soft and natural looking and the quality of the hair lasts for a very long time.You can get the European human hair extension hair and bonds bespoke for each individual client and the hair requires little to know effort to maintain.

There are however companies around that will lead you to believe that they are selling you European hair when infect their European hair may or may not come from Europe. The name refers to the texture rather than the continent of origin. The hair is stripped and processed so that its texture is similar to Caucasian hair. If your hair is of average thickness, you might want to consider this type of hair extension. European human hair extensions blend in well with most hair types and can be dyed to match any colour. You should not attempt to colour your new hair extensions as this could result in unnecessary damage.

Indian women are known for having beautiful hair that is shiny, straight, and strong. This type of hair is also thin enough to blend in well, even if your hair is extremely thin.  This type of hair is naturally dark, so suppliers will need to spend time bleaching and re-colouring it before it reaches you. Indian human hair extensions are very high quality. Many Indian women have virgin hair that is in great condition. You will need to make sure that your Indian human hair extensions are top quality. The hair will need to be one length and arranged so that all hair runs in the same direction.

The lower class of hair is typically from the surrounding countries in Asia. This type of hair is extremely thick, dark, and coarse. Asian hair needs to go through several different treatments to strip its colour and reduce its thickness. The hair is then dyed and coated with silicone to make it shiny again. Unfortunately, this type of hair can resemble synthetic hair because of its texture and plastic-looking shine. Asian hair is also harder to style than other types. If you are thinking about getting human hair extensions, make sure to ask your stylish which types of hair they use. Many stylists will carry several different types and can use whichever type you prefer.

Cheap Hair Extensions – Cost Big Money Later

It is important that when considering hair extensions you do some research on the quality of the products you are going to be using. Extensions that are from dyed in an unprofessional manner will not stay looking real for long, and it will be difficult to match it to the hair it is attached to and because it hasn’t been coloured properly, damaging the hair making a making it a low quality.  This will look terribly cheap and not give the effect you are looking for.  Think natural and you will be on the right track to high quality styling.

Cheap hair extensions that are not fitted correctly by a hair extension consultant can cause issues with the natural hair of an individual.  They can even cause permanent hair loss.  There is a condition called Traction Alopecia that can occur with some hair extensions.  What happens is the hair stops growing under the pressure and stress of the hair extensions on the hair follicles.  The hair then falls out causing issues where the hair fails to grow.  This can be permanent or it may work itself out.  If this condition occurs it is best to seek a professional’s help such as a dermatologist or a salon specialist.

Human hair instead of cheap hair extensions is one of the best ways to ensure that the hair will look and feel natural.  Additionally, it is far healthier for your own hair. Synthetic extensions can often become tangled and unmanageable and when connected to your own hair can do great damage to the hair when it is like that.  These natural hair extensions should not be connected too close to the scalp to avoid breaking of your own natural hair and to avoid major headaches.  This breakage can be irreversible and looks a fright.

Cheap hair extensions can be difficult to work with and are less likely to work with the hair design that you desire on a given day.  They will likely be easier to spot as being extensions than natural hair extensions.  The damage that can be done by using products that are below standards is going to cost more in the long run to undo than just getting the right product right from the start.  Talking to the professional at the salon is the best way to ferret out information about what is best for your situation and your hair.

Hair extensions fitted by a professional will look and feel beautiful and  should never damage your hair, so make sure you do your research.  For more information or advice on hair extensions email us or contact one of our professional hair extensions today, we are always more than happy to talk.

Curly Hair Extensions – Great for the Holidays

It appears that those that have straight hair always wish they had curly hair and those with curly hair always wish they had straight hair. It is no different when it comes to the type of hair extensions that people want to use. Hair extensions allow a person to have straight or curly hair no matter what their natural hair type is (with in reason of course). Straight hair extensions allow a person to appear to have longer hair when in fact they have short shoulder length hair and curly hair extensions allow people to be able to appear to have voluminous hair when their natural hair is really straight as a stick.

While straight hair extensions and curly hair extensions serve the same purpose, caring for your curly hair extension is very different. The biggest difference between care for a curly hair extension and straight hair extension is that of washing it. A person wearing a straight hair extension can be rougher with the application of shampoo and the way that it is washed out of the hair. Curly hair extensions need to be treated with care. The shampoo must be distributed gently and worked through the extensions. This allows the natural hair that comes with the hair extensions to be cared for and cleaned without getting a greasy appearance.

Another major difference in the care of the curly hair extensions is the way that they are brushed. Curly hair extensions cannot be brushed when dry. If these types of extensions are brushed while they are dry it could result in a puffy hair style that cannot be changed or made to appear as bouncy curls again. Instead it is recommended to brush the hair while wet and work from the bottom to the scalp so that the hair does not tangle and the curl still holds throughout the time that you are wearing it.

Straight hair extensions are all the fashion amongst celebrities but curly hair extensions appear to be making their way back into the fashion trends. It’s a great way to be able to add a little bit of volume to a flat, dull hairstyle. However, learning how to treat your natural curly hair extensions will allow you to keep those bouncy curly locks for a prolonged period of time without running the risk of having a puffy, frizzy style due to the mistreatment of these natural hair extensions.

Clip in Hair Extensions – Not a Long Term Answer

Every person wishes to have long, straight hair or bouncy curly locks. Unfortunately, some people’s hair just doesn’t cooperate for one reason or another. Sometimes the hair is too coarse, won’t hold a curl or is just overly bulky making those desired celebrity inspired hairstyles nearly impossible to copy. Many people are turning to clip in hair extensions to achieve the desired hairstyle that they want without having to deal with the issues and problems of their natural hair.

The problem with clip in hair extensions is that when worn for a prolonged period of time it can cause various problems to ones natural hair that surrounds the extension. The process behind the clip in extensions is that the extensions are simply clipped to the existing hair and places around the base of the head. These types of extensions can be quickly removed but come with a cost to the natural hair that it is clipped to. When clip in extensions are removed there is a risk that the natural hair will become thin due to prolonged usage. In extreme cases, bald patches develop if the clip in extensions are used for extremely long periods of time.

Many people who still wish to have fashionable hairstyles without the damage that clip in hair extensions may cause may decide to turn to permanent hair extensions. Permanent hair extensions are applied differently to the head so that they do not cause the various problems that clip in extensions do. Permanent hair extensions are applied using pliers or irons to adhere the extension to the back of the head. The application process requires that the extension become a part of the actual hair and does not tug or pull on the natural hair, which are common problems with clip in extensions.

Permanent hair extensions are a safe alternative to clip in hair extensions. This hair extension style allows people to be able to have that fashionable, celebrity hair style without worrying about the damage that can be done to ones natural hair. When applied professionally, permanent hair extensions will give people over three months of the latest hairstyle without having to worry about reapplying the extensions or harming the surrounding natural hair. You’ll be able to wear the latest celebrity hairstyles without having to fight your natural hair to cooperate. Permanent hair extensions bring out the celebrity style within you, safely.

Although long hair can be feminine and pretty, it takes a long time to grow. If you have a Halloween party coming up, you just will not have enough time. Hair extensions will allow you to get the look of long hair so that you can pull off all those pretty hair styles. You will need to be careful, though, as there are many different types of hair extensions, some better than others.  You will need to decide which techniques and types of hair extensions best suit your needs.

The first decision you need to make is whether you want to get synthetic or human hair extensions. Synthetic extensions are much cheaper, but unfortunately you get what you pay for. This type of hair extension looks false and will not blend in with your own hair. On the other hand, synthetic hair is often much lighter than human hair. You should really think about getting human hair for your wedding, because you will be taking tons of pictures. You want to make sure that no one can tell that you are wearing extensions.

You should then decide which method you want to use. One popular way to attach hair extensions is the Micro Link method. This involves attaching small links to your hair shaft. These links can match your hair or be completely transparent, whichever you prefer. The Micro Link method can be used successfully on any type of hair. Another common method involves using adhesive to attach the extensions. This method works well for any colour that you may want though your hair such as highlights or some streaks of vibrant red or purple. You can go wild with it!

Hair extensions can be an amazing way to change your look. If you want to get extensions for your special occasions, be sure to work closely with a hair stylist so that you get the perfect look. You can do many pretty, feminine styles when you have long hair. For example, you or your hair stylist can experiment with various types of braids to give a soft, medieval feel to your look. If you want something trendier, be sure to ask your stylist about the newest looks.  Your guests will have no idea that you are wearing extensions and you will look amazing!

Happy holidays everyone!!!

It is fine to want to be frugal in certain aspects of your life. You want the cheapest price you can get on gas, food and clothes. It’s important to stretch your finances as far as they can go, especially in a failing economy. However, there are some things you should never be cheap on. Hair extensions are one of these things. You might be tempted to go out and purchase cheap hair extensions, especially if you’re going to an event that only lasts for a short while, such as prom or a wedding. But there are some things you need to consider before you make your final decision.

When has quantity ever been better than quality? Many people live by the idea that they can go to a discount store and get more in quantity for the price of one quality item. We’ve all done this before. One bottle of name brand water may be worth three bottles of store brand water. In this case, you’ll buy the store brand, because water is water. But the same can’t be said for all items. Quality hair extensions are much better for your hair than cheap hair extensions. Unlike water, hair extensions should be considered a long-term investment.

Good hair extensions do not kink or matt up after a short period of time. You shouldn’t have to fight with your hair extensions when you try to treat it like your own hair. Cheap hair extensions are made from synthetic hair. It’s better if you stick with human hair for hair extensions. You can find human hair in any colour that you want. Once it’s attached to your hair, you can treat it just like your own hair. In fact, human hair extensions need to be washed and conditioned in order to keep their healthy look about them.

How long should quality hair extensions last? It depends on the methods used to attach them to your hair. If they’re braided or twisted in, they can last up to three months. If they’re attached through micro rings, they can last up to five months or more. Cheap hair extensions, on the other hand, last a bare minimum of one week. They can’t be reused either. Once they’re done, you’ll have to go out and buy more. Do the math. Would you rather buy new hair every week, or every three to five months?

Autumn is already here, and as the leaves begin to change colours we begin to think it’s time for a change in us too. The changing of the seasons often inspires people to change their wardrobe, their outlook on life, and their hair. A trendy hairstyle is a sign of embracing change. You may be reluctant to go along with the 2010 trends for autumn. Hair extensions make it very easy to get the new looks for fall. The best part about it is you’re not using your hair, and you can remove it once you get tired of wearing it.

Messy hair was all over the runway for fall fashion. The hairstyles were somewhere in between bed hair that was not exactly effortless, but not really sculptured either. Think purposeful style with body, movement and shine. How can you accomplish this with hair extensions? You can use them to add a bit of colour to your hair, just add a dark, gothic tone such as purple, deep brown, or dark auburn. If you don’t want a hairstyle that’s quite as loud as what the models were sporting, just use a little bit of wax, ruffle it in some parts, smooth it in others, and don’t worry about the rest.

Celebrity Katy Perry arrived in Japan with a sleek mid-length bob. The look immediately sparked debates about whether or not she was wearing a wig or her own hair. It’s very easy to use hair extensions to achieve a bob. However, you should be cautious as to what type you use. Human hair would be better, since you’ll want your bob to look natural and shiny like hers. For a little bit of added spunk, you can consider adding extensions of a different colour, like a shade of blonde. This will give you a twist on the inspired style, without making you look like a copycat.

Full volume is also popular this season. For people with thin hair, this hairstyle can be impossible to get away with. Use hair extensions to thicken out your hair. Micro rings are best for this sort of hairstyle. They last longer and they’re healthier for your hair. You can use a bit of hair spray designed to lift your hair and give it full body. Don’t add too much. You don’t want to look like your hair is out of control. Instead you want thick, sexy locks that people can’t resist running their fingers through.

Clip in human hair extensions have their place in the beauty world. They are used to fill in or fill out parts of your hair when you’re wearing certain hairstyles that require lots of volume. Celebrities use these hair extensions as a quick fix for a hair style that needs to be just perfect for only a few hours. They are normally only supposed to be in your hair for 12 hours or less. This is really stretching it. The ideal time period is actually 6 hours or less. However many people think that they can wear clip in extensions for longer than this period of time. They feel that it’s harmless and that it won’t damage your hair if you use it every once in a while.

This assumption isn’t entirely true. Clip in human hair extensions can damage your hair. They add stress to your hair and to your scalp. If you use clip in extensions in roughly the same spots on a regular basis, you can wind up thinning out your hair in those spots. You can also wind up pulling your hair out if they aren’t removed the proper way. There are alternatives to clip in hair extensions. These methods are stress free on your hair, and are not easy to detect. They actually help protect your hair from damage, and last much, much longer than traditional clip in extensions.

One method is the micro ring. The micro ring is just a very tiny ring that is attached to your hair by or near the roots of your hair. The ring itself is the same colour as your hair, so it is difficult for others to tell you’re wearing extensions. It is lightweight, so it doesn’t weigh down your hair and make your head feel heavy. And because it’s a ring that surrounds your hair, it doesn’t put stress on your hair either. This is a great alternative to clip in human hair extensions, gluing and braiding. It can add volume and colour to your hair without the normal damage that comes from wearing hair extensions.

Micro rings are often used by people who have thinning hair as well. They can cover up bald spots or patches where your hair is thinning. Again, there is no added stress to your hair with micro rings. In fact, unlike clip in human hair extensions, using micro rings actually makes your hair healthier. It surrounds your hair with the extension, so that your hair isn’t exposed to the normal, everyday activities that damage it.
