Wigs are becoming popular fashion accessories these days. In fact, most of the women want to be a blonde today and a redhead tomorrow. And it is practically impossible to dye your hair and restyle its everyday. Thereby, the best solution is these fashion wigs that come in various colors and textures. However, it is better to know some insider tips before buying one.

The first thing you need to decide is the texture of the wig. Fashion wigs are made from both real human hair and synthetic hair. Wigs that are made from synthetic hairs are cheaper. However, make sure that they look real enough. You can also get quality synthetic varieties that look realistic. In fact, you can easily take care of these synthetic wigs and there is no need to restyle these wigs every time you wash them.

On the other hand, the human hair wigs are very expensive as such hair is in limited supply. But these types of fashion wigs feel and look very natural. However, the quality of such wigs depends on the quality of the hair used. Though wigs made from Asian hair are comparatively cheaper, the texture differs from European women’s hair. Wigs that are made from European hair are the best wigs available, but they are highly expensive.

You will also need to consider the styles of these fashion wigs. Both full wigs and ¾ wigs are available. You can cover your entire head with a full wig. These wigs are ideal if you want to try different colors. The ¾ wigs are clipped to the top of one’s head. These fashion wigs too look very natural as your original hairline is visible.

Fashion wigs are available in all styles and shapes. You can have straight, wavy, curly, layered or braided wigs. In fact, spiky or the wet look wigs are also available these days.

Though customizing wigs are expensive, it will surely make your wig more suitable for your face. Visit us at http://www.bestwigoutlet.com

How to make your hair grow faster. My secrets

November 23rd, 2009 hair extensions pro No comments

Everyone talks about massage but did you know there is a right and wrong way to massage your hair, and actually your body but we will concentrate on getting your hair to grow so hair massage is a major issue we must tackle as it is so very important. The right massage not only stimulates growth but can actually even increase the strength of your hair follicles. The wrong massage can actually break your hair, cause no effect from the massage (other than it feels good), and definitely not help you reach your goals. What is the purpose of a good scalp massage? The scalp becomes ‘tightened’ as we encounter stress, etc. therefore creating a loss of circulation which is necessary for good growth. The wrong massage vigorously rubs your scalp AND your hair either by hand or using a tool of sorts, ruffling the hair as the massage proceeds.

The right massage is done using just your fingertips by applying a goodly pressure, keeping the hair from moving but only moving the scalp against the underneath body tissue. The outer skin moves over the inner tissue ONLY. You may need to practice this a little bit in the beginning to understand the principle.

You will notice that when moving your finger tips in this manner, areas of your scalp don’t seem to want to move. They may seem to not move at all but move to different areas of your head and also notice that different areas act different from each other. Don’t become impatient and begin moving the hair as you would in a surface massage. This is a NO-NO. You break hair when you do this. When the scalp seems to not want to move, this is an indication your scalp is STARVING for circulation and needs your attention desperately. So, concentrate diligently on those areas the most and if you can, do this at least 2 times a day for about 1/2 hour. You will find the more you deep massage your scalp, the looser the scalp will become which means of course, the more movement you will be able to obtain using your finger tips. You are causing the blood to move more freely in your scalp and the roots are now getting the circulation it was starving for.

Another big culprit of breaking your hair is combing it. I would tend to just about bet no-one has shared this information with you before as the average person is not told that there is a right way and wrong way to take care of your hair. I always thought it didn’t matter but it really does. As a little girl, with baby fine dry hair, my hair was snarled all of the time. Since I cried every time it was combed, it was cut and I really wanted long hair. It was below my waist when it was cut and kept short. I wish someone had known what I am about to tell you. NEVER use a comb on your hair in the first place unless it is an extreme situation which we will also discuss here. So what do we do?

Do not comb your hair wet. Do not blow dry your hair as it will dry out. Air dry your hair just as much as possible. Heat dries out your hair. Look at how the summer sun can wither things when left in it. When your hair is dry, using your fingers, gently pull your fingers through your hair as if your fingers are a comb but when your fingers get stuck (run into a snarl), gently take both hands and slowly in the middle of this snarl, pull it apart doing just a little bit at a time. In other words, never pull tightly but when it feels it is tightening, go at it from a different direction. This is not as time consuming as it sounds. It definitely eliminates stress on the follicles creating less breakage and when you are done combing your hair with your fingers, you will have no snarls. I cannot say why this works so good other than our body seems to produce oils through our fingers and they seem to naturally remove the snarls rather than forcing the removal of them.

Once the snarls are removed, brush your hair with a very fine ‘horse hair’ brush. Do not worry if it doesn’t go all the way through to the scalp. It isn’t supposed to. Just move your hair so you can cover all of it with your brushing. You stimulate your scalp with your fingertips and not your brush.

Once your snarls are removed, you have completed your massage, and you have brushed your hair, use a natural hair extension so that you do not need to ADD anything whatsoever to your hair to create any damage, i.e.; leave in conditioners, hair spray, any type of additives, no clips, just your natural hair extensions and you will see your hair become healthy and robustly grow. HAPPY hair growth.

SECRET Tricks & Tips for Growing Healthy, Thicker Hair

November 23rd, 2009 hair extensions pro No comments

First you need a natural hair extensions. Why? Will show you why herein. Make sure you have the right one for you and one that has no clips, glues or things that can further damage your hair. Be Careful.

Hair can be thin and baby fine at birth and naturally appear un-healthy. Not only do we encounter stress, lack of proper nutrients, bad lifestyle habits but hair naturally breaks and re-grows so we need to increase the strength of the hair follicle plus encourage our body to grow new hair.

First our care of our hair is a primary issue. Treat your hair like you WANT it to grow. This is why a natural hair extensions can help us with this. Why shampoo your hair every day and strip it of its natural lubricants? Yes, I know. It looks dirty, right? So, a natural hair extensions can cover up most of your own hair. Instead shampoo your own hair every 3 to 5 days. In fact if your scalp is dry, you might want to go longer. You will find this amazing and notice a definite thickening of the follicle. Research shampoos and conditions and find ones that encourage growth with no breakage. You might even try to contact a ‘hair growth’ clinic to ensure you get the quality you need. Stay away from cheapies. Treat your hair like it is fragile when you shampoo and condition it. Be gentle and use proper massage techniques

Give your hair a ‘rest’. When you are sick, you go to bed so your body can heal itself. Your hair is obviously not healthy so it is sick and needs it’s rest for a time. Again, treat your hair like it is fragile. There are proper massages, proper combings and even other tricks to implement to enhance your good care of your hair. Using natural hair extensions will allow you to give your own hair the rest it needs so it can become healthy again.

Stress and bad lifestyle habits might be things you cannot or dont want to change but you can still grow healthy hair. It just might take a little longer. Using the tips herein will still benefit your hair.

Nutrients are another major factor impacting our hair health. Our lives are so busy there is just no way to eat properly or to take massive amounts of herbs, vitamins, etc. so keep this simple. We can use Vitamin E which is for our skin, hair and nails. A decent amount of 1,000 mg a day should be enough. The other major vitamin is an un-tested theory that has worked well for alot of people and that is a prenatal vitamin. Vitamins that are coated are poorly processed by the body as the acid in the stomach has to firstly dissolve the coating which, by this time, the body is disposing of the vitamin leaving it without the desired affect of the vitamin. Prenatal vitamins usually are not coated and contain extra amino acids which are for hair, skin and nails. I have been told that we cannot overdose on vitamins so they should not hurt us as our body will just simply eliminate the excess. Yes, men too have successfully taken these as it appears there is nowhere else you can get all the ingredients in a prenatal vitamin in one place.

Drink at least one bottle of bottled water per day. Your body needs water for growth and health. If you can handle 3 or a day, that is even better but make sure it is at least one.

Don’t Lose Your Hair!! I DID!!

November 21st, 2009 hair extensions pro No comments

For me, it all started back in 1995 when I started wearing natural hair extension ‘clip-ons’. They were fine in the beginning until after wearing them so much, I happen to look in the mirror at the back of my head and see bald patches wherever there was a clip. I was shocked and frightened. I knew then I had to find something else as I really wanted to have ‘pretty’ hair. So then I decided to try having hair extensions weaved into my own hair. I did that a couple times and found that was extremely costly plus it only lasted about 3 months and on top of it made my head look big. You would not want to wear a hat and I love hats. So I then decided that I would just forget about them and cut my own hair short in a one length Bob so that my hair could look as thick as I could possibly get it

I then cut my own hair for awhile but after some time again decided to try the hair extensions as I really wanted longer, prettier hair and I was determined this could happen for me. I had free consultations for pinch braids type hair extensions. I was absolutely shocked at the price they wanted plus they looked ridiculous. You could see these braids perfectly clear that were attached to the extension hair. It is such a dumb look that I could not believe that people actually wear these.

Then I checked out hair bonding. I watched carefully how they did that. It is basically an adhesive that attaches the hair extension to your skull. Again, I felt uncomfortable with this method because I could see that this could easily cause damage to my own hair again. It even tears out your hair at the roots.

Well, you would think I would give up by now but I continued my journey to find something I could do to have gorgeous natural hair.

I then checked out hair fusion where little groups of your own hair are attached to little groups of extension hair by an adhesive. My common sense told me ‘NO WAY’. The thin hair I already had would be damaged and thinner. At this time, I was hearing reports of women who had used this system and the nightmares they had experienced. Could this be why Britney Spears shaved her head?

I still proceeded ahead thinking there has to be a better way. I heard about plastic tubes that attach your hair to the hair extension by melting the plastic to your hair using a hot tool. Then when you take them out after 3-4 months by putting on a solution, they are supposed to come loose and come out. Well, I thought I would try that. I was apprehensive but did it anyway. I guess I was getting desperate for something to work. This was expensive too and had to be maintained every 3-4 months.

Shortly, by total fluke, I happened to run across a whole different type of human hair extension and I knew instantly there was no more searching needed. THIS WAS IT! WOW! I was so excited.

It has taken me 11 years and now 3 years later and I will not use any other method of natural hair extensions. This is so great. This human hair extension takes about 1 minute to put on so you can style your hair quickly and be ready for any event whether work, shopping, wedding and look beautiful. I put mine on every morning and take it off at the end of the day. It is so simple to do that even a kindergartner could do it. Best of all, it is comfortable, secure, no damage to my hair, a small fraction of the price, and made from human hair so blends perfectly with my own hair.. I have very little upkeep and I can do this myself too. It is such a high quality. And on top of it, my own hair is becoming healthy. I can even have different lengths and styles for variety.

It is so wonderful having gorgeous hair and getting attention wherever I go from men and women both because of the beautiful hair I have. It makes me look and feel good about myself.

10 WAYS OF BOOSTING YOUR HAIR EXTENSION IMAGE AND SERVICE

November 10th, 2009 hair extensions pro No comments

The results of your SWOT analysis will be the basis for your marketing plans and

decisions. Here’s just 10 highlighted points that you could attend to immediately to help boost your hair extensions business.

Source: ‘What they don’t tell you about getting started in the hair extension business’ summary from page 20 – 35 author Shawe D 2007

1) Form business alliancesJoin up with other businesses to help each other build a bigger clientele.Form an alliance with another business that has the same type of clientele as yours, for instance a business which involves beauty, nails, tanning, or fashion.

You can take this alliance as far as you like. You could set up shop together, or just refer clients to each other. You could do some advertising together and share the cost. Another idea is to hand out gift vouchers for each other. Each gift voucher could be for a free service.

It’s best if you both cater to clients who are at the same end of the market. If you cater to the upper class there’s not much point in marketing to people who simply can’t afford to come to your hair extension studio.

2) Choose a business where the people have the same business ethics as yours and a good database of clients.

3) NetworkThrow the occasional cocktail party and invite the surrounding business owners, managers and employees of your choice. If you can build relationships with these people you may gain them as clients. Remember most men have girlfriends or wives and most women have other lady friends also.

They might also refer some of their customers and friends to you. Do this especially with the staff of beauty and fashion shops in your area. They are ideal people to get referrals from.

4) Get Quality TrainingThere are over 36 different hair extension techniques in the market place. If you really want to plan to be a success in this market, then you have to choose to become totally proficient in several techniques. There are many types of clients out there with varying hair problems, plan to be of service to you target market. Restricting yourself is restricting your potential income.

5) Be Classy (even if your working from home)It’s best to set your hair extension studio up so that the right impact is made right from the moment the clients make an entrance or you make an entrance. Remember that the more professional the hair extension studio looks, the more you will be able to charge, as you will attract a more up market clientele. I always advise that the overall look must not out way the warmth and welcome of the studio. Clients like to feel relaxed with the staff and environment, not as if they are on show.

6) Flowers at reception or at your home always add a touch of class. So does a smiling face, which helps to make each client’s, visit a welcoming visit right from the start. You can make the waiting area more impressive by including a great retail area, some hair extension brochures, and a book containing before and after photos. Provide some new, interesting magazines and hair books. Toss the old or torn ones out.

7) Always protect the clients clothing. There should be a cupboard or rack for coats, or like some hair dressers have, a small dressing room for clients, who are given a gown to wear. This is a great idea as it removes the problem of high collars being in the way and clothes being ruined.

8) Get rid of shabby items. Make sure there is a place for everything and enough storage space, so that the hair extension studio can be kept tidy. Get rid of the old wraps, used or shabby towels, and worn brushes. Never have dirty combs or tongs lying around. All of these things make a bad impression on clients.

9) No Carrier bags or damaged cases. If you are mobile don’t turn up with carrier bags or a damaged beauty case. Make sure you are presentable and that your hair looks emaculate.

10) Don’t be afraid to change with the times. If your hair extension studio starts to look outdated give it a facelift. Invest in the latest equipment. Make sure that the chairs not only look good, but also feel comfortable. If you are mobile make sure your equipment is up to date in line with your techniques.

Overview The first ebook to advise you on ‘Getting started in the hair extension business’This “little ebook” (one of its advantages is its manageable size) is great for exactly what it says, a really practical guide for someone wanting to start up in this obviously very fruitful and expanding field.  It is rather surprising that there seems to be nothing much available just on this subject – certainly every lady I know without exception has extensions! The length and approach seem to be just about right, and the effectiveness of someone who is perhaps not all that well informed initially, but enthusiastic, will be definitely increased by having this book to turn to from time to time.  The information is accessible; Diane evidently knows her subject backwards, but the reader is in no way subjected to overload.  The title is excellent and will lead the Internet searcher straight to the right place.
