HUMAN HAIR EXTENSIONS

Professionally applied hair extensions are not to be confused with extensions from inexperienced technicians. Applying hair extensions professionally using excellent quality hair and skill in the weight and positioning are essential elements of professionally applied hair extensions.
Hair extensions are incredibly popular and are extremely versatile. Extensions come in such a wide range of colours and textures. They look so completely natural that no-one should be able to tell you are wearing them, instead assuming your great new style is due to a fabulous cut or top-of-the-range products. In fact, the popularity of human hair extensions has grown to such an extent that many celebrities are rarely seen without them.
Most people choose to use them to lengthen or thicken their existing hair. Human hair extensions can be added to enhance the look of your hair. Natural Human Hair Extensions are the most popular form of extensions because they look and feel so natural and are so easy to wear. There are several ways of attaching real hair, but we choose the fusion system because we feel it is the safest method for your hair as the bonds have keratin. When it is time to remove them all you have to do is apply an alcohol based remover and the bond turns to powder and is gently combed out with little or no discomfort or damage to the hair. You have probably heard of hair extension horror stories, always use a qualified hair extensionist.
HIGHLIGHTS USING HAIR EXTENSIONS
Adding of a few hair extensions can produce a dramatic result - and all without the use of potentially damaging chemicals. Single highlight extensions in our studio start from $10 a strand and an overall "highlighted effect can typically be achieved with just 10 to 20 single strand extensions. We custom blend the colour so that we get it absolutely right, and you can have just about any colour you like - from subtle shifts in shade to funky pinks and purples. Some clients just have them in for a weekend party before easily taking them out at home. Or, if you leave them in, they'll last up to 3 months. And, as long as your hair is at least 4 inches long and in good condition, we can generally attach 10 to 20 extensions within minutes.
Hair Extension Systems
Fusion Hair System
Also known as protein based extensions. They use a keratin bond which acts as a protein to protect your hair where it is being bonded. They are fused into your hair strand by strand. This method takes up to 2 hours and can last from three to six months with regular maintenance. Normally we recommend that you come back every 6 weeks for maintenance. As your own hair grows, hair extensions tend to move down as well, so they need to be pushed up every other few weeks.
Tape Hair Extensions
These are the ultimate hair accessory for acheiving the most natural looking and undetectable weave . These premium skin wefts allow free flowing locs, Even if someone were to run their fingers through your hair, it is unlikely that they would really feel or see the tiny unit!!! The hair looks like it's growing from your scalp. The mono skin weft extensions are hand knotted hair and attached to very thin mono-skin base.. They are weightless, seamless, without bumps, they are completely invisible. Very Ideal for fine hair and all other types of hair textures. The application time is 60 minutes.
Normally we recommend that you come back every 6 weeks for maintenance. As your own hair grows, hair extensions tend to move down as well, so they need to be pushed up every other few weeks.
Micro Ring System
This method is also done strand by strand and it uses micro rings to attach hair extensions to your hair. Takes up to 2-3 hours to apply and extensions can last from three to six months with regular maintenance. This method can be high maintenance as the rings needs to be continually pushed up and tightened.
Weaving Hair System
This method uses hair that comes on a long weft and is attached in rows. It is a good method in that it injects a full body of hair within minutes. Lasts from three to six months with regular maintenance, the hair is re-usable. Normally we recommend that you come back every 6 weeks for maintenance.

CARE & MAINTENANCE OF HAIR EXTENSIONS
The most important aspect of any hair enhancement service is proper maintenance. Although some stylists may state that certain extension methods can last up to 6 months without maintenance, or other methods may be able to "just grow out" this is NOT TRUE. This is the main reason hair enhancement services have a bad reputation, and the way hair is damaged by these types of services. When enhancements are properly maintained, both at home and in the salon by your enhancement professional, a healthy head will suffer no damage upon proper removal of your enhancement. Because many stylists make a large profit from initial applications, and because maintenance of the service is usually more time consuming and less profitable for a stylist, many establishments do not offer maintenance. Instead they will wait until a full head needs to be redone and the client will pay the entire application cost again, often every 3 to 6 months. At this point some damage has usually occurred to the natural hair. Be aware of any establishment that does not offer you a regular maintenance schedule or tells you an enhancement method does not require in salon maintenance.
Because of the natural growth of hair, no enhancement should be worn past 3 months without maintenance. There are non-arguable reasons for this.
What to expect when your hair extensions are in:
Advantages;
1)In addition to hair extension work, Glenn Kinsey of Mark Glenn Hair Enhancement in London, England, is one of UK’s most successful presentation and spoken communication skills coach. In his coaching, he has noticed significant improvement in communication skills of clients who are happy with their hair.
2)There has been some research that certain methods of hair extensions can actually improve the condition of your natural hair. Over-processed and damaged hair is actually ‘cocooned’ inside the extension hair, thus protecting it.
3)It is the quickest way to get long hair. Growing out your hair— at the rate of 1/2-in. per month would take several years of patience.
4)Get a beautiful flowing hair style for a special event such as weddings, proms, dances, etc.
5) Transform hair thinning and alopecia issues instantly. We have developed methods specifically for hair thinning and alopecia patients, see our hair replacement page.

Some Disadvantages
You may get headaches or neck strain. The extra weight of the human hair extensions may cause you to have headaches initially. Also, if your stylist is using any sort of braiding for the sewn-in extensions, fusion or micro rings there could be extra tension to the scalp. But this settles within a 3 day period.
Certain hair extension methods may impose limitations on styling your hair. If the bonds are applied too close to the hair line, they may be very visible when pulling your hair back in a pony tail. Also, because of the way some extensions are designed, your hair will look great when it is lying flat. But when the wind blows it exposes thinner hair underneath.
You will spend more time fixing your hair every day. Many companies claim that you treat your extension hair the same as you would treat your own hair. That is absolutely true!!!! Talk to anyone who has long hair and ask them how they take care of it! You will need to condition it on a regular basis and maybe use more hair care products than you normally would. Also, consider that it will take longer to dry, longer to style and longer to brush or comb out tangles. Long hair requires extra work. Be prepared to maintain the hair.
Using the recommended hair products is very important. Each method of attachment, whether it is bonding glue, wax or keratin based products, can be compromised by hair products that break down the bonds.DO NOT USE SHAMPOOS THAT CONTAIN ANY CIRTIC ACID, SULPHUR AND SULPHATE.
