what to do with old weft hair extensions

What to do with old weft hair from sew in hair extensions?

Did you once wear sew-in weft hair extensions, and now you are not wearing them? I am often asked what to do with them so that they are not wasted. There are several options, you can create a different method of hair extensions that is more appropriate for your hair, or you can create temporary hair extensions that can be taken on and off. Pre-bonded hair extensions, from the manufacturer, are stronger than this option. Some of these options are great for DIY crafty people, or you may want a salon to transform your hair wefts. The options below include instructions as to...

What to do if your hair will not grow

What to do if your hair will not grow

I would estimate ninety percent of our clientele, over thirty, complain that their hair will not grow. The truth of the matter is that hair has a certain "shelf-life," and will stop growing at a particular length. Of course, maintaining a healthy scalp, and hair follicles (roots to ends) will help hair from breaking, but most hair will only grow so long. This is because our hair grows in a cycle of four stages, and as old hair sheds, new hair is growing in, at about 30 to 35 years of age, the hair growth cycle slows down. There are many factors that can...

How to remove keratin bond hair extensions easily

How to Remove Keratin Bond Hair Extensions Easily

Removing keratin bond hair extensions can be quite frustrating, mainly because human hair sheds over one hundred strands per day, and while wearing k-bonds, the shedding will trap above the keratin bond. It will take some extra effort to remove the shedding especially if they have been in the hair for over five months. On the other hand, removing freshly applied hair extensions can be challenging since the bond is harder to break down, and keratin bond hair extensions tend to soften with time. My advice on removing keratin hair extensions is mostly for professional stylists, that being said, if you do...

Babyliss Cryocare Brush Stylist Review

Babyliss Cryocare Brush Stylist Review For Curly Hair And Hair Extensions

I purchased the Babyliss Crycocare brush over two years ago, the concept of freezing hair in order to lock in moisture is accurate, but after using it on my own hair for nearly three months, I did not see a difference. My naturally fine hair, on the oily side, really did not benefit since I have plenty of my own natural oil.   I then embarked on a journey to use the brush on moisture-depleted hair, i.e. curly hair, natural hair, and hair extensions. I was more concerned about the ends of hair extensions that were over six months old.   In theory, the...

Moroccan Oil Best Product Line For Fine Hair With Hair Extensions

It has been a grueling process to determine which product line to invest in that will give the ultimate results on fine hair with hair extensions. Fine hair is challenging, this is because roots tend to become oily, all the while the mid-shaft to ends of the hair extensions require hydration! After working with many brands of shampoo/conditioner, and leave-in products - my experience has brought some recommendations. I have come to the conclusion that Moroccan Oil has some of the better products, but I do encourage you to test products on your own hair, this is just for fine hair.  Hair...

How To Care For A Human Hair Topper

How To Care For A Human Hair Topper

I am addressing washing and styling an attached human hair topper, which is different than washing and styling a clip-on hair topper aka, hair piece.  At our salon, we attach our hair toppers with a beaded matrix, therefore, there is no glue, tape or sewing.  This attachment process is gentle on natural hair but does require a bit more attention to avoid the hair topper from slipping. We provide beautiful human hair toppers for all types of hair loss from alopecia (men, women, transgender clients, trichotillomania, balding, medications, and menopause. Our advice: 1)  Using a wet brush (detangling brush), gently...
