Clip Hair Extensions

Alternative HairstyleThe alternative hairstyle is for those with strong and edgy personalities. Having an alternative haircut means playing around the “emo” and Goth look. You can experiment with bold colors like platinum blonde, jet black, blood red, and even blue. Sporting this style, however, means than you have to be willing to dress the part ALL THE TIME because you’ll just look like a big mess. Bob HairstylesYou can have a bob if you have medium to short hair. Get a long blunt bob for your mid length hair instead of wearing it in a wavy style. Precision cut bangs give you that modern and chic look. The short bob got a hit this 2009 with big celebrities like Rihanna and Victoria Beckham wearing them. A simple short bob is best worn with side swept bangs because it looks more feminine since it is a short cut.Choppy HaircutsThis type of haircut is more specific for men. This type of cut is rich in texture and gives you the chance to play with hair colors that give your hair more dimension. Rich almond browns and strawberry blondes are great options for dark haired men.  Add highlights and lowlights for depth.Long hairstylesHaving long hair for women was also a big thing for this year. Long hair has so much diversity in them that you can wear it sleek and straight, curly and wavy, tussled and wild. If you originally have short hair, extensions will give you that instant long mane you’ve always wanted. If you plan on getting extensions, make sure the color is lighter or darker by two shades from your original hair color.Simple HaircutsThis cut basically means having short hair on top and longer layers on the bottom. You can add volume to this look with a volumizer or root lifter. Check out Paul Mitchell’s new collection of hair products for maintenance and styling. You can experiment a little by getting a simple bob with a shorter back. This was a big trend for 2009 as well.Rock Star CutThis cut experiments with layers and lengths. You can basically go wild with this style. Get a Mohawk for that punk rock look. The modern Mohawk involves spiking up all of your hair in random (no longer in a line). It’s like the long version of the spiked hair. You can dye your hair jet black too. Rock stars these days sport that bed-head look because it requires minimum effort. Of course, color is always present. Deep reds, green, white, pink, and blue, it’s all up to you. Try TIGI products t hold your hair together and in place.Sedu Style“Sedu” is actually short for seduction. This cut involves keeping hair pin straight. This would require a flat iron and holding spray so you can maintain that sleek and smooth look. Hair sported by Jennifer Anniston and Reese Witherspoon is an example of the Sedu hairstyle.Completing the Look and MaintenanceAfter choosing the cut that suits your mood and your personality, complete the look by getting a nice manicure and pedicure. Match your nail polish with your hair. Experiment! For colored hair, make sure you get the appropriate hair treatment for colored hair. Get a color correction treatment when your hair’s color starts looking dull or if you simply need a new shade.Set an appointment with your favourite hair salon in South Tampa.

Although nothing equals the pleasure of owning your own hair on the head, it so happens that sometimes you lose out on the fight to win back lost hair and might be on the path to baldness. Baldness could either be genetic or due to life style effects or even due to certain medical conditions or adverse reaction to certain treatments. Women undergoing chemotherapy usually lose hair due to effect of the treatment. Also there are a number of other reasons like hormonal imbalance and dietary deficiencies that could lead to hair fall and thinning of hair in women.While some people might be compelled to go for hair fall treatment or hair weaving and similar treatments, there are also cheaper and equally efficient alternatives that would help to cover up the state of your scarce and thinning hair. In certain orthodox communities, married women are required to cover the hair on their heads after marriage and would be punished if they refrained. While some women cover their heads with scarves, hats, snoods, etc., which by itself is a stylish fashion option, the more fashion conscious women choose to wear wigs. Wigs have been in use since time immemorial. From the early Egyptians to Queen Victoria, wigs have been in use and have enjoyed royal patronage. Human hair wigs, till a few centuries ago were affordable only for the rich, and it was symbolic of a person’s wealth and status.Today, with the variety of wigs available in the market, any prospective buyer needs to at least have an overview of what to expect and what not to. Selecting a wig for your head is never an easy event and is not like buying a dress or a pair of shoes. So in order to know what you need to buy and from where, you have to know what all is available.Wigs are made from natural human hair as well as using synthetic substances. Three types of hair – Asian, Indian, and European are generally made use of in making wigs. But as European hair is the least available, it is expensive to the point of being unaffordable for all. Asian and Indian hair is the most plentiful and so least expensive. Asian hair tends to be coarse and this coarseness is removed by certain processing before being converted into a wig. Indian hair wigs are the most preferred choice owing to its silky texture, length and its relatively inexpensive nature. Human hair wigs are usually the most preferred choice of all as it natural, and maintaining it is as easy as grooming the hair on your head.Wigs have evolved into a viable prospect for even those who would like to have a different hair color and style though the wish not to color their hair or cut it as per the changing trends and fads. And some of the best wigs available in the market would look so natural on your head that unless you remove it nobody would even get to know whether it is a wig or a just natural hair. Moreover, wigs can be gelled, set, styled, touched up and some of them can even be re-dyed or premed. Adequate care and cleaning of wigs are necessary for long term use.

One of the latest hair trends is the hair extension technique.  Have you ever wondered how celebrities are able to change thier hairstyles, like they change thier clothes?   Or for example,ever notice how some women go from a short auburn, razored bob, to long layered brunette ringlets  two weeks later.  

Hair extensions are added wefts or individually bonded hair strands to your natural coif, to create length, fullness, color, or hairstyle of choice.  If done properly this technique looks extremely natural.  You can transform your short mid-length, single colored hairstyle, to a sleek long-layered mane with caramel highlights.  I know sounds exciting!

With a professional licensed stylist, this can happen.  Hair extensions allow you style and versatility.  The possibilities are endless.  This can even be an option for people you don’t wish to chemically process their hair with a color application or straightening method.  Some individuals with mild cases of alopecia may even be a candidate for one of the hair extension methods.

There are several different methods of hair extensions.  A consultation with a professional is highly recommended to conclude the right technique for you.  A few techniques to mention are hair fusion, sew in extension, bonded extension, cap extension, hair clip ons, & many more!

As far as the hair quality of the hair extension, there is a wide range which also effects the cost of the hair that needs to be purchased.  Hair extensions have a variety of hair textures as well to suit everyone.  Whether you want a rock and roll look, or conservative business hairstyle, this is a technique to be considered.  The instant transformation is amazing and is performed throughout the world!

No matter what look you crave.  Your dream hair can be reality! 

True harmony is human hair extensions that perfectly match your own hair. True beauty is how gorgeous you will be when you are done having those extensions added to your hair. Really, there is no doubt about it. Human hair extensions are considered to be “the” best method of extending what you’ve got. Why? They’re the best method to extend what you have simply because they ARE human hair. It just handles and bonds better than other methods – weaving, clip-ins, synthetic etc.

Choose the method you want when you have your extensions added in. It could be cold fusion or hot fusion, link and lock fusion or fusion loops. Without getting way too technical, all these methods are fairly easy for you to even do at home. However, the first time you might want to think seriously about getting it done by a professional at a salon. It might look easy on the site you visit and the video you see, but trying it for the first time yourself is guaranteed to give you the colly wobbles.

All these fusion methods do have varying lengths of time that they last. The cold fusion seems to have the longest at six months, the hot fusion about four. But what you really want first and foremost is the “LOOK” that you want. Oh and of course you will want quality. That is why many hairdressers will recommend you go with human hair extensions.

Worried about color matching? No need to be. You can get your lovely new human hair extensions in just about any color you want. Just remember though, that no matter how well they bond into your hair and make you look chic, they are not permanent. You will have to have them taken out at some point and then make the decision to do them again, try something else, or go back to your own hair style. Tough decision to make that one especially once you have seen the results of having human hair extensions added into your hair.

By the way, having human hair extensions put into your hair can be a bit pricey – but – worth it. Shop around to salons and see what kind of services they provide for you. Then, once you have found a salon you think will give you the look you are after, give them a try. The hair extensions will give new life to your hair by adding volume, color, life, and texture, not to mention length. It seems to be the in thing to do, add lots of length to your hair for that really dramatic look.

I would like to talk today about a old hair style that is coming back. Actually the style never went out. Some hair beauticians have not heard of this style. Latch hook crochet braids.

I have been braiding this style for many years, and love it. You do not have to sit in you beauty shop for 6 to 7 hrs. This style will only take about 4hrs or  less time to do, and the cost is much less.

First what are latch hook crochet braids?  Latch hook crochet braids are individual pieces of hair that are connected to cornrows using a latch hook. What is a latch hook? A latch hook is a tool that is use the pull your crochet hair through your cornrows. You can purchase one at any craft store of beauty supply. Look for bulk hair that comes in a pack already braided in individual pieces, or you can buy the hair pre-package loose.

To start make sure you wash, oil and blow dry your hair. Then start cornrowing your hair straight back from the top of your head to the nap. I cornrow about 7 to 12 braids across. Then at the end connect the braids together to one side. Now your ready to add your hair extension. Take the latch hook and slide it under your cornrow starting at the top of your hair. Take one individual braid fold it in half and latch it on the hook and pull through. You will then knot the individual braid at the top of the cornrow so it will not fall off. Cover all of the cornrows, making sure there are no spaces in between. Your finish look will look beautiful. I hope to make some short videos soon to show the process.

Most trend-followers look up to celebrities when deciding on a change of hair style. But one of the gravest mistakes one can make  is adopting a certain style that does not fit them. After all, a good look for one person may be disastrous for another, and so, careful thought and consultation with a professional is always a wise move when upgrading your look.The haircuts that prevailed for 2009 have rather taken the road of simplicity. The natural look is a hit for many of Hollywood’s most well-known faces like Kim Kardashian and Beyonce Knowles. These women went all-naturalé by flaunting long,  wavy tresses. They also opted for more subdued colors like chestnut brown or honey blonde hues. If you want to get this look but have short hair, do not despair. Hair extensions provide a convenient alternative for those who are currently growing their hair. However, since hair extensions come in an array of styles in terms of color, thickness, and method of use, it is better to schedule an appointment with your stylist to find out which best suits you. . Th pixie style haircut has also been the rave of this year. It’s hip, fresh, and is the antithesis of the long and flowing hair. Celebrities who went short this year were Eva Longoria, Katie Holmes, and Victoria Beckham. This particular look is simple yet edgy, subtle but very chic. But before cutting it all off, one has to take note that even though it seems like it’s a wash-and-wear hair style, it’s actually harder to manage and maintain. Styling short hair requires more tools and hair products to keep it in place and to give it that versatility.  Styling your short hair can take only five minutes with today’s options on hair tools and products. Fine hair would need the use of a good volumizing agent to give body to your hair. Be careful when buying any kind of hair product because some of the chemicals manufacturers use may be too harsh for fine hair. Paul Mitchell is actually a reliable brand and a good investment for any kind of hair product, be it long, short, fine, coarse, men’s or women’s. You can try other lines but professional stylists will tell you to choose and invest on the more familiar and tested ones so you know what’s being applied on to your hair.If your entire look is your problem, then maybe a nice makeover is what you need. It’s good to pamper yourself once in a while and a little fine tuning on one’s appearance may be the better (and cheaper) alternative for plastic surgery to shave a few years off your tired and aged look. Treat yourself to a nice and relaxing makeover starting with a little hair treatment to revive your hair. Couple this treatment with a more youthful hair color. If you have already colored it before, salons now offer a color correction procedure to adjust the tone of your hair when it has turned dull or is too dark for you. TIGI products have been tested to safely and effectively give your hair just the right amount of dimension and boldness during the color correction process.Tending to your nails is also as important as caring for your hair. After all, our hair and nails are composed of the same thing—keratin. Treating yourself to a good manicure and pedicure allows your makeover to fix the smaller details of your look. A basic manicure is required at least once a week. This is the best way to keep your hands looking clean and healthy. A pedicure does the same with one’s feet. It is also another way of keeping your feet free from corns, ingrown nails, and fungus–which are never attractive. Top off your makeover with a  waxing procedure to get rid of unwanted and unsightly hair on your upper lip, brows, underarms, legs, and bikini area. Shaving your legs and armpits can put a strain on the appearance of your skin. Waxing, when done by a professional, will leave the waxed area smooth and silky. The fine texture on your skin after a good wax can last up to a month. There is also no risk of skin damage and you can be sure to grow finer and softer body hair after regular of visits to your favorite hair salon in South Tampa.

Stunning huh? Wow, what I wouldn’t give to be stunning and catch the eyes of some downright gorgeous guy! Oh yeah – that would be a dream come true! Just think – me with a guy on my arm and having a great time out at the clubs and dances and – but wait – I am getting way ahead of myself. Who am I kidding? My hair looks like the cat slept in it and I can’t seem to do much of anything with it.

Wow, that sounds really depressing girl! Why don’t you give clip-in hair extensions a try? I mean they’re really easy and you could really make a difference in your hairstyle in minutes. And I MEAN minutes – like would you believe 5 minutes? I am super serious chickie! Come on let’s go take a run into the city and see what we can find!

Nothing works better for an instant fix than clip-in hair extensions. Add them in and take off, it’s just that easy. Of course if you want to really work on it and make your hair a “statement” then you might take a little longer. Are you into rainbow colors? And we mean shocking pinks etc! No problem. You can make a really wild statement by adding the whole darn rainbow to your hair. That will definitely get you some attention. But, it you want something a little less lively, then stick with the usual colors and usual kinds of styles. That’s not to say they need to be boring or anything, but stick to something that might not get you so much stopped traffic!

Clip-in hair extensions are usually, more the most part anyhow, made of 100 percent real human hair. That is because they work better to handle and style than some of the other extensions on the market – for instance 100 percent synthetic hair (be careful of this in terms of heating it too much or you’re in for a bit of a surprise) or the combination extensions of human and synthetic hair. Each of these extensions has their own benefits, but be sure to ask what those are before you buy them. Better to be safe than sorry you know. Besides if you are going to be laying out bucks for them, you’re going to want something that works.

Styling clip-in hair extensions isn’t hard to do either. Just treat them like you would your own hair (which is carefully) and go about your business. The differences in the amount of time to put these hair extensions in versus getting them bonded in makes this a viable option for many.

This clip in hair extension set is Colored #2, Dark Brown.

The swatch is 6″ long and includes a single clip. The swatch color will match the color of the actual set and will allow you to match your color.

This item does not ship overnight. It ships first class US Post Office.
