How to decide if hair extensions are for you

Elite Hair Extensions — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 02:06:23 +0000

These days women tend to be more inclined to experiment with their look. What was previously a long term project when it came to growing your hair, is now a much quicker (few hour) project. Whether it is a style choice to tide you over while you grow your natural hair longer, or a short-term change of appearance, hair extensions offer an easy, affordable and immediate solution.

There are a wide variety of extensions on the market from high quality Remy hair through to the cheaper synthetic hair types and all of them are available in an array of colours, lengths and textures. If you are torn between real and synthetic, there is no question that real hair extensions are by far superior. They can with stand colouring, drying and straightening, feel better and will last far longer giving you a more natural look.

How do you pick between Asian, European and Indian hair? Price tends to make part of that decision for some, but it is best to match up to your own hair texture, weight and style. Asian is the cheapest but it tends to be quite coarse and unless you are from Asian descent it can look less natural (depending on your own hair type). European is considered one of the more popular choices as it is available in a range of colours, is relatively straight and suits many hair types. Indian is the premium hair choice and the most expensive. It has a natural wave through it which is highly popular. Aim for the most natural look which will help your hair blend in flawlessly.

Length is another element to consider. Try to select a natural length because if you go too long it can cause unnecessary strain on your scalp giving you headaches and discomfort. It also tends to look more natural if it stays somewhere around the bra-strap line.

Gaining expert advice as to what will suit your hair the best is valuable – don’t be shy about asking lots of questions.

5 tips to promoting healthy hair and growth

Elite Hair Extensions — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 03:05:06 +0000

1. Brush your hair
When you brush your hair it stimulates your scalp and encourages growth. It also helps make your hair shine. Try not to brush your hair until it is totally dry to avoid breakage.

2. Use salon quality shampoo and conditioner
Try to avoid the cheaper shampoos and conditioners, they tend to be harsher on your hair. In particular try to avoid the chemical Sodium Laurl Sulphate.

3. Wash out styling products
Products including gel, hair spray and similar items can damage your hair, if you really like to use them be sure to wash them out each day.

4. Avoid extended time in the sun
Like your skin, your hair is at risk of sun damage. It can become dry and brittle leading to extra breakage and stunted growth. If you are outdoors more than indoors try to cover your hair with a hat – slip, slop, slap is the key to a healthier existence!

5. Select products that suit your hair type
If you have oily hair stick to a product range that reduces the oil levels, if you have a dry scalp use anti-dandruff products, if your hair is coloured or bleached use a range that puts the missing moisture back in regularly.

If your hair is healthy and looks and feels great, chances are your general state of mind will match it.
