An insight into hair extensions
HI GIRLS,
here is my 10 cents worth,
I trained in hair extensions and then worked at Lucinda Ellery The Consultancy, Europe's largest hair extensions studio.
There is sooo much to take into account when thinking of having extenisions.
The reason your having extensions? The length? The volume of extensions you have in. The texture of the extensions? Is it cost effective for you>?
At the end of the day we all know of hair extension disasters, but people are always suprised when they dont realise someone is wearing extensions.
You dont want to have extensions if it will ruin your own hair.
I would never do a set of extensions on hair that looks like it is vulnerable to breakage and not looked after properly. I have turned prospective clients away due to this and will continue to do so.
Application of the extensions is an important factor the weight ratio for your hair and each bond.
Thde removal of extensions more so important than the application !!!!Especially when acetone is involved as it makes the adhesives turn sticky causing breakage to your hair.
It took me 9 months to find a product that I believe removes extensions causing no damage to the hair.
heres some things to keep in mind when choosing the hair!!!
If its such great quality hair why is it coated in silicone? the answer? To give the illusion that the hair is a better quality hair than it really is!
oh and watch for the word Euro!! when a company uses the term "euro hair" this does not mean its european hair, its a loopwhole that fools you in to thinking its European hair.
Remy hair, I love this one, Basically REMY is an old wigmaking term meaning that the hair is double drawn and cuticle correct. it means nothing more then that. I know this from working with an oldschool wigmaker.
When people say Remy hair is the best, what makes it better then any other hair?
The best hair is one that is cuticle correct and matches your hairs natural texture. Thats the best hair for you, when sourcing hair for your extensions.
every batch of hair comes from a different source.
GOOD APPLICATION + GOOD QUALITY HAIR =GOOD HAIR EXTENSIONS
I hope this has been some help.
