Hair Extensions????



Changes are beautiful ... but these changes are healthy? 

Many artists and actresses have resorted to using hair extensions to look dazzling, but what's behind the different hair extensions brands and kinds?

What's the harm, if any, in our hair once we use them? And, is there any way to keep using hair extensions without damaging our own hair?

The truth is that there are some extensions that can damage your hair if not kept with the necessary care.
There are different types of extensions, including:

Pre-Bonded
Pros
Fusion hair extensions are generally the most discrete (depending on the application techniques).
They're permanent, meaning you have gorgeous thick hair everyday for up to 6 months.
They're easy to maintain if you have the correct guidelines. With a little extra TLC (and depending on the bond) you care for fusion hair extensions in much the same way that you would your natural hair.
Cons
 If not applied and removed by a trained technician you could risk damage to your natural hair.
Fusion hair extensions can require 4+ hours for application depending on the amount of strands needed.
Many fusion extensions are applied with "glue guns" which are messy and time consuming.
Many fusion hair extensions use polymers which are petroleum based or glue adhesives - these are not compatible with the human hair and may cause unnecessary damage.


Sewn In
Pros
Weaves are good for medium to thick hair.
Weaves instantly add lots of volume and length.
There are a variety of colours, lengths, and hair types (curly, wavy, straight) to choose from.
Cons
If braids are made too tightly they can hurt, put strain on your scalp and cause hair to fall out at the root.
If the weft is too heavy, it can cause hair to fall out.
Weaves are best for thicker hair because the braids take up a lot of your natural hair.
Because of this, wefts can also be obvious in very fine hair as there is not enough hair left to hide it.
Weaves are generally made of wefts of artificial hair or low quality human hair.

Taped
Pros
Tape weft extensions are semi permanent lasting anywhere from 6-12 weeks.
Tape extensions are easy to maintain - they are washed and styled in your natural hair.
Tape extensions are very quick to apply.
Cons
Most tape extensions are made from synthetic or low quality human hair.
Most tape extensions do not have clear bonds and can at times be seen through the hair.
It can be harder to tie your hair up as you need to be sure that the wefts are covered.


Micro Links
Pros
Micro beads can be moved up when the slip down the hair shaft.
As they can be moved up, they can be a cost effective option.

Cons
Micro links can slip down the hair shaft and need frequent moving up.
Hair used is typically low quality and will start to look tacky after a few months.
Micro links can be damaging to the hair. The beads (which contain grooves like a screw) are clamped onto the hair shaft with pliers.
Metal micro links are particularly bad and damaging to your natural hair. When heat is applied to the metal rings, such as a blow dryer or hair straightener, the metal amplifies the heat on the hair inside it resulting in breakage.


Clip In




As a person who have tried different kinds of extensions, what I recommend is to use clip-in extensions. They are easy to wear, you can remove them to go to sleep and they do not mistreat your hair so much. You can put them yourself, without an additional cost of a salon. Care is simpler, because you only need a comb or brush, warm water, shampoo and conditioner. Sounds to me, like this stuff is what you already use for your hair. Plus, you don't need to wash them every day, one day a week is good. Avoid products with sulfur or dandruff stuff so they stay looking gorgeous. For ponytail looks, try to put the clips sideways or buy smaller pieces of hair extensions and use them sideways. It's really easy and affordable.

Remember for better looking nails, hair and skin, get your vitamins on.

Ombre vs Balayage vs... Which one will win you over?

They’re highlighting techniques, but the results are different. Welcome again, today we are going to be unmasking the differences between: Balayage, Ombre, Sombre and Flamboyage. Let's get started! #1 Ombre As the ombre trend started, you may have noticed that things have evolve a little since. The ombre is a very harsh transition between one color to the other. The results, in some cases, gave the client a very distinct line in the middle of the hair where one color ended to where the other began. Since then, hairstylist have worked on ways to make this trend into the subtle and more natural transitions we see today. #2  Balayage From the French word meaning "to sweep", balayage is a freehand painting technique. This means that your hairstylist dyes freely through your hair. The results are natural looking highlights and dimension. The fade effect that you see from one color to the other - unlike the ombre - helps with how natur

Now, let's begin with something, sometimes, we ignore. Our undertone! You may be asking yourself questions like this...  What is this undertone thing?  What does the undertone has to do with foundation? Here are your answers... Our undertone  i s the color that's just beneath the skin, and while your overall skin tone can change over time, the undertone does not change .  The foundations the we see on any store, they come based on our undertones. There are 3 undertones: cool, neutral and warm. Now, to know what is your undertone, let's make an exercise. Turn your hand (palm facing you) and look for this characteristics. Now, look at your veins (sounds like something weird - :S). The color of your veins will help you determine, y

Foundation + Application = Art

Hi, everyone!  Now that we have found our perfect foundation, it is time for application. Taking into account what we learn in the past blog about skin care, choose the one that fits you the most. Now that you have chosen one, wash your face and apply moisturizer, this will help the final look of your application, by removing dirt and oil; and giving moisture.  Tip: Exfoliate at least two times a week to get rid of dead skin and avoid cracked looking skin. Now, to apply your foundation you can do it one of three ways.  Using sponges, a brush or your fingers. Let us explore how this three different methods work. Sponges Wet or dry, this fellows come in different shapes to apply the foundation to different parts of your face. However, they tend to adsorb the liquid foundation leading to waste your precious gold liquid. Also they can grow bacteria, leading to breakouts. Brush This one helps you create a natural look, by achieving a lighter coverage
