Hair Extensions 101

admin — Fri, 18 May 2012 16:07:21 +0000

Did you know that the history of hair extensions goes all the way back to the time of the ancient Egyptians? For hundreds of years, only people who were wealthy could afford to purchase these elegant hair pieces. But today, the game has changed altogether. Hair extensions (human or synthetic), tape in hair, fusion, clip in, micro rings and other types of hair extension methods have all become affordable enough so that they are accessible to women across different backgrounds and walks of life. Now anybody can enjoy them!
Hair extensions can be used for many reasons. These include providing a solution for women suffering from alopecia or slow-growing hair, having an alternate look available for women who are always on the go, or wanting to experiment with a new hairstyle without having to make an actual change to your real hair. When it comes to hair extensions, one can choose from either synthetic ones or those that are made of human hair.
Human hair extensions are often the preferred choice for many women as they are extremely long-lasting and can endure heat and processing to achieve a variety of colours and textures. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about synthetic extensions. Synthetic hair extensions tangle and mat easily and cannot withstand heat application or colour alteration. On the other hand, extensions that are made of human hair can last for years provided that they are given proper care and maintenance. However, because of the said reasons, hair extensions that are made of human hair are slightly more expensive than synthetic ones.
Hair Shop Usa’s human remy hair extensions come in a wide range of colors and textures. When making a purchase, you need to consider these carefully if you want your extensions to look as natural as possible. In other words, people should not be able to distinguish the extensions from your natural hair, unless of course that is your goal. These days, with the sheer number of hair extensions methods , colors and textures available, you should be able to find the color and texture that is just right for you.
When it comes to application, extensions can be applied in several ways. The first is the bonding method. This method uses a keratin based glue on the tips of the extensions. These are then attached to small sections in the natural hair. Another method is the the micro ring method, that threads your natural hair, along with an i-tip extension in a tiny round copper or aluminum cylinder that is then clamped shut to hold both your hair and the i-tip extension together to make a much thicker bunch of strands. A more popular method as of lately is the tape in method, sometimes referred to as seamless, skin weft, double sided tape etc…. a more temporary option would be the clip in hair.

Hair extensions are a very popular accessory among many women of different ages and lifestyles because of their ease of usability. They can be removed and worn back on anytime. Extensions also allow you to experiment with different hairstyles without running the risk of ruining your current haircut or damaging your hair with harsh chemicals. Whether you are looking to attend a formal function or simply want to experiment with a different look for a night out with the girls, hair extensions are exactly what you are looking for. What are you waiting for?

How to prepare Skin Weft Hair for installing the tape-in method

admin — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 15:39:18 +0000

If you plan on using Hair Shop Usa Skin Weft for the tape in method it is important to prepare the hair correctly for a lasting hold. It is recommended to wipe down the skin weft area with a little alcohol on a tissue to remove any residue or oils to ensure a strong attachment with apply the tape. (Any oils from your fingers on the skin weft or tape will interfere with a strong attachment. After adhering the tape with the backing still attached to the exposed side, you can slide a flat iron across the weft to provide a more secure hold. It is also recommended to purchase a liquid tape or glue to apply when sections start to loosen.

REMEMBER: The hair section that you are sandwiching between the two skin weft pieces MUST be very thin in order for the top skin weft to adhere to the bottom skin weft. Too much hair in between the skin weft will not allow the two pieces to join with each other, therefor not allowing the tape to attach and bond to each other.

Tips for keeping your Hair Extensions smooth and tangle free !

admin — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 15:33:38 +0000

Tip #1

It is recommended to brush your hair daily using a hair extension brush. Hold your hair in a ponytail style , brush DRY hair in a downward motion starting from the very bottom, working your way up.

Tip #2

We also recommend using a hair treatment on them every couple weeks, because the hair is not attached to your scalp, it is not getting the oils it should be. Using a treatment/hair mask will help keep them looking healthier and shiny for longer! ( just remember to avoid the attachment area when applying any masks /conditioners or oils )

Tip #3

You will find that you don’t need to wash your extensions too much. (just use shampoo on your scalp, and let the water rinse it through the bottom, do not rub shampoo through the extensions this will cause tangling. It is highly recommended to use a moisturizing detangling solution after washing. (avoiding attachment areas) This will assist in retaining moisture in the hair and easier comb out.

Tip #4

When blowing, styling, or hot iron styling your hair, use extra caution, and lower settings, to avoid too much heat damage. Over use of heating tools will dry out the hair more quickly causing more tangling and/or dryness.

It is best to let your hair extensions dry naturally after washing them. If you do plan on using hot tools, it is best to apply a heat protectant prior to heat styling.

Tip #5

If you are in ANY chlorine or salt water, you MUST rinse well with shower water. Do NOT go to bed with it in your hair, the chlorine / salt water will weaken the attachment area and dry out extensions.

Lighter colors are processed more; resulting in a little more of a dryer texture then darker colors ( just like if you colored or bleached your own hair) using these tips will aid in keeping your extension healthy, shiny and longer wear.
