HAIR SOLUTIONS



If you’re looking for a beauty pick-me-up, hair extensions can give you a quick confidence boost in the beauty department.



Whether you’re looking to add fullness, length or dimension to your current locks, extensions can easily achieve what you’re looking for in one simple salon visit. If you’re growing out a haircut and struggling with an awkward in-between style, extensions will solve all of your concerns and enhance your look. You can even add highlights to your hair with extensions without actually chemically treating your own hair.



the early years of extensions



Once a luxury that only celebrities and rich people indulged in, extensions have made their way into mainstream fashion. The types of extensions available have grown and the methods of installation have improved dramatically.



The early years of hair extensions gave this trend a bad name. The original methods were often painful, hard to clean and also caused hair loss. For years, people thought that extensions will only damage their hair and this negative view is sometimes still associated with original methods. With innovative new technological improvements and better training of technicians, hair extensions are now again enjoying some time in the spotlight. The look and feel of hair extensions has completely changed in recent years because of easier and safer methods of hair lengthening and thickening. There are now various methods–from keratin fusion to tape-in to microbeads and more–and there is a method for every hair type and every need.



limitless possibilities



You now have limitless hair design options from hair colour transformations, added new textures and added fullness. Today, hair extensions are known for much more than length. Hair extensions not only add length, but add volume,texture and color. You can fill in thinner hair to add fullness rather than length. You can add some bright streaks of colour in minutes, without having to colour and damage your own hair. You can correct a bad cut by adding some length while you’re growing it out. Can’t grow your hair? Add the length you’ve always wanted but could never achieve naturally. You can do a little or a lot, depending on what you want to achieve. You can create the look you want.



Because of the popularity of extensions, many stylists have jumped on the bandwagon and are offering this service. Without proper training and experience, you can still get a bad job done. The reputation of hair extensions can be tarnished by stylists that don’t know what they are doing so it’s up to you to do your research and get someone that has the proper training, experience and that cares about your hair. When well matched in color and texture, and professionally applied by a competent extensionist, hair extensions mix in and move naturally with your own hair, making it difficult to tell you are wearing them. Hair extensions are only good WHEN:


  • The hair extensions are made from good quality hair
  • The service is carried out by a competent, skilled and professional extension technician, not someone without proper training and experience. And be warned, there are many out there only too willing to take your money!
  • You look after them and follow the care instructions given to you by your stylist


mythbusting



Forget everything you think you know about hair extensions. For many, this is a very exciting fashion trend. For some, the name itself elicits negative images of fake-looking, tangled hair and messy glues that make them hard to remove.




MYTH // Getting extensions will damage your natural hair.

FACT // If properly applied and maintained extensions can improve hair health, especially during heat styling. “You wouldn’t directly iron a silk shirt, but if you lay a piece of linen or cloth over silk, you can iron through without damaging the more fragile material. Extensions use this same principle by absorbing the majority of heat needed when styling hair; your real hair will hold the style without absorbing all of the damage.


MYTH // You can’t brush your hair.

FACT // It is actually encouraged that you brush your hair daily. Although you can’t use a regularly bristled hairbrush or comb, there is a specific type of brush recommended by your technician which will comb your hair without pulling at the bonds.


MYTH // The extension removal process always damages your hair.

FACT // Another common misconception. The early years of extensions gave it a bad name because the types of adhesives, methods of attachment and removal could do damage. Today’s high-quality hair bonds remove easily with a specially formulated removal lotion, which allows for safe and painless removal. Also, many stylists don’t use proper removal techniques and end up being too rough when removing the extensions, or they don’t use the right removal lotion. The technician needs to use adequate gentleness and care when removing the bonds. If you have taken care of your extensions, a properly trained and conscientious extension technician will know how to remove the bonds carefully without damaging your hair.
