It is not uncommon for your hair extensions to feel dry, especially from the mid-shaft to the ends of your hair, this is because your natural scalp oils are unable to reach this portion of the hair extensions. Below are some natural remedies that help to infuse moisture into dry hair extensions, but DO NOT use these treatments or oils directly on the hair extension attachment located near your scalp. These remedies can break down the hair extension attachment, i.e. keratin bonds, i-tips, and tape-in hair extensions. I would also avoid using them on pull-thru and beaded sew-in hair extensions since it may cause them...

What is double-drawn and Single-drawn Drawn Hair? I'm sure you have come across these terms many times. Below is an explanation of the difference between double-drawn and single-drawn hair for hair extensions or hair systems.

Curly hair, in a variety of hair patterns, is a modish style! If you want to take your hair extensions from straight to wavy, we will give you instructions straight from the hair extension factory. Hair manufacturers use a "water perm" technique that you can use too. I must advise that you should only attempt perming on high-quality hair, preferably virgin hair that is unprocessed. You can perm virgin (one-donor) hair extensions, but results may vary. It is important to do a strand test prior to perming an entire weave, keratin bond set, pull-thru method, tape-in hair extensions, and i-tip hair. Take the time to wrap,...
