Get the Best From Curly and Wavy Hair Extensions

When you purchase hair extensions with a curl or wave, always conduct a strand test as shown below:

Wet a small section of the hair extension and leave to dry - Does it retain its curl pattern?
Brush a small section of the hair extensions using a loop brush or any other hair extension compatible brush, then wet the hair extensions - Does the curl pattern reform?

If the answers to any of the above is NO - place hair neatly back into its package and return to supplier.

Generally curly and wavy hair extensions have not been pre brushed prior to packaging as a result to get the true essence of your curls and waves you will need to do the following:

Brush/comb the hair carefully starting from the top and working your way down, be careful not to pull as this may result in hair extensions shedding.

Small Note: it is normal to experience some slight shedding with newly bought hair extensions as this is generally excess hair. However if you experience considerable shedding, contact your supplier.

Wet the hair extensions, comb thru and leave to dry, this will reveal the intended curl or wave pattern of the hair extensions.
It is important to always comb/brush wavy or curly hair extensions after the initial point whilst slightly damp to remove any tangles. A great way is to use the steam from the shower.

Wavy and curly styles are the most easiest hair extensions to look after once you follow the above steps.

5 Things to note:

1. The above is true for quality Real Hair Extensions.

2. Some hair extensions will not retain curls or waves always check with your supplier if the strand test fails.

3. If you have wefted hair extensions, after conducting the strand test, always fit them first before proceeding to combing.

4. Take extra caution for longer lengths when combing or brushing as with any hair they will be more prone to tangles.

5. The tighter the curl or wave the greater attention you must pay when combing out tangles.

With Love From Harriet

YES .. Another great look from Harriet.

This look was achieved by cutting Harriet into an asymmetrical bob.

Whilst, our Harriet had already been cut with a straight fringe, you can also achieve the look straight from the box.

Harriet before transformation

This weeks style is best created by your hairdresser. But we will take you through how our stylist achieved the look.

Harriet was washed and treated using Real hair by Clara shampoo and conditioner and placed on the models head.

Harriet was then cut in layers. Short layers no longer than 4 inches on one side gradually increasing to a maximum of 10 inches on the opposite side.

Harriet’s fringe was changed from straight lined to angular.

Harriet was then thinned using a thinning scissors to reduce the thickness of the hair over all.

Styling tongs were used to curl hair inwards framing models face.

Resulting in a very natural looking trendy style.

With the Olympics well on the way and as everyone gears up for the parties and entertainment to follow. Having a great look is definitely on the agenda. We've created a look which is so easy to achieve and definitely guaranteed to turn heads.

Finally get a selection of Flexi Braids and clip into place around your newly acquired pony tail.

We have opted for black, purple and Burgundy Flexi Braids to finish off the look.

Wow what a transformation !!!

Start by placing your own hair into a single high pony tail. We have chosen to use gel to ensure a sleek look.

You may also decide not to use gel. Main thing is to have your hair into a neat pony tail.

Use a hair band to secure in place.

Next, use a set of Flex Extend and clip each piece around the base of the pony tail.

We have chosen natural straight 18 inches and used 2 different colours.

You can choose to have your glamorous hair style in a different texture ie wavy, body wave etc and go even longer.

Before look

This is a question asked on a continuous basis. Whilst virgin hair which has not been coloured (generally natural 1b) can be coloured, my first response is always to seek professional advise when considering colouring hair. Especially if you are not familiar with colouring hair.

If you purchase pre-coloured hair, first check with the company you purchased from to determine if you can readily colour your hair extensions. The lighter the hair extensions the more complicated the colouring process is. For instance when you purchase Brazilian #613, The hair extensions would have been processed in order to get the natural virgin hair extensions from dark to platinum blond. When you self colour this, you can end up in the hair turning orange, green or grey. Furthermore, If the dye used is suboptimal, you can cause further damage to your hair extensions. Remember unlike your own hair, Hair Extensions will NOT grow back.

In the event that you have damaged your hair extensions by self colouring either contact the manufactures to determine if they can restore the hair extensions or take them to a hair salon specialised in colouring. Both of which would incur a fee so depending on the cost you will need to decide whether to purchase a new set of hair extensions.
