So, what are the different types of hair extensions?

 

Long, luscious locks are widely featured in hair commercials, magazine advertisements and salons’ Instagram pages, making us dream of having Rapunzel-like locks. Thankfully, different types of hair extensions now allow reaching our “long hair goals” and increase hair fullness without spending months to grow it. If you think you could give it a try, let us introduce you to all hair extension options, help you choose the kind of hair extensions that might work best for you, and give important maintenance tips so that you do not damage your hair while wearing the extensions.

All the hair we use is Remy hair. Remy hair is more expensive and looks more natural due to the tedious process that the hair goes through to not damage the cuticle. Usually virgin hair or hair that has been minimally processed to protect the integrity of the hair has cuticle in tact. 

REMY hair is a smoother, shinier, and healthier appearance than NON-REMY. This hair feels amazing even after months of washing and styling. Most of our clients can get a year or two of wear with REMY hair still looking great. The investment is great but well worth it.

 

WHAT KIND OF MAINTENANCE IS INVOLVED?

Treat the extensions just like your real hair. The only difference is if you comb your fingers through your scalp you will obviously feel the bonded area but they shouldn’t be painful or heavy.

 Oily, creamy products are not your friend and neither are conditioners as these products can cause roots to become excessively slippery and accelerate bond loss. Avoid using products near your scalp, it should only be applied to the mid shaft and ends.

 Always brush your ends first and work your way up from there to eliminate tugging and further breakage when detangling. I recommend using a fine bristle brush that detangles your hair without tugging at it. And as is the case for natural hair, submerging your extensions in chlorine and salt water (i.e. the pool and the ocean) should be avoided. 

Bonds can’t be brushed roughly or be touched by any heat tools. Blow drying your hair with extensions is fine but avoid straightening or curling near the tips of the bond.

Washing your hair too often can cause the bonds to slip out of your hair, so keep your washes to two per week. Avoid all shampoo with sulfates.

Never go to bed with a wet head! It can cause horrible matting to the hair which can can begin to look like dreadlocks.

Its super important to follow all the care instructions ti insure the longevity of your new hair.
