 Installing a hair weave can be a long and tedious process when you’re a woman on the go. If spending 4+ hours at the hair salon isn’t a viable option, the quick weave is definitely one of the best options that you can't miss. A quick weave is the best friend of African-American girls looking for a protective hairstyle that neither costs a fortune to install nor takes a whole day to arrive at. That said, quick weave hairstyles are no less diverse than sew-ins, buns, or braids, and you can even play with updos and half-up coifs if you need something really elaborate for a special occasion.Here’s everything you need to know. I. What Is A Quick Weave?  A quick weave is a style where hair wefts are glued directly to a protective weave cap before bonding it to your head. This look can be achieved either at home or by a professional stylist. AZ's Weave Hair Extensions Wig Cap  Some people assume that quick weaves are bad for your hair; however, quick weaves might be bad for your hair if they are installed improperly. A quick weave, on the other hand, is a very convenient protective type in terms of installation, maintenance, and removal. This is only one of the myths we'll debunk. II. Advantages and Disadvantages of Quick Weave Advantages of Quick Weave  Quick weaves are a great option if you’re looking for something fast that doesn’t need much care. We’ll walk you through some of the perks you can expect with this style. Affordable: Quick weaves are cheap compared to the cost of extensions like sew-ins or clip-ins. You can expect to pay between $60 to $160, depending on if you install it yourself or have it done at the salon. Low-maintenance: This style doesn’t require much upkeep beyond wrapping your hair at night and potentially laying down your edges again. Less tension on hair: You can ditch tight braids with a quick weave. Loose braids or gelled-down hair can work fine for this style. Quick weaves also add minimal strain to your hair since extensions are glued directly to the wig cap. Quick: Installing a quick weave takes about an hour and a half to two hours. Much less time in the chair than other methods! Accessible supplies: You can pick up affordable supplies from a local beauty store or online. No need for special products. Disadvantages of Quick Weave  Although quick weaves have many benefits, they may not be the best route for everyone. Most drawbacks are a result of improper installation. We’ll walk through a few of these cons below. Doesn’t last as long: Quick weaves only last about a month since the bonding glue quickly wears off. Shedding: Hair used for quick weaves is more likely to shed since you’re going to cut tracks or hair wefts to fit around your wig cap. Use of hair glue, gel, and modeling products: If you choose to slick back your hair instead of braiding it, you risk damaging and drying out your hair. Hair loss: The biggest concern with quick weaves is the potential for hair loss and damage. This mainly happens if you get hair glue on your hair during the installation process or if you aren’t using a high-quality wig cap. Poor-quality glue can also damage your hair if they come in contact. III. What Do I Need To Install A Quick Weave?  A quick weave requires a handful of supplies, some of which you’ll probably already have at home. Supplies Needed Include: Weft Hair extensions Hair glue Protective wig cap Glue protector/liquid cap (optional) Blow-dryer Scissors Molding gel (optional) Hair ties Towel Comb IV. How To Do A Quick Weave?  Whether you’re going to a Pro or DIY, you should be familiar with the methods to install a fast weave so you know what to expect. Check them out below: 1. Preparation Your Natural Hair Preperation Your Hair Before you start, braid your hair or use molding gel to keep it under the wig cap. You can leave in a side or center part if you’d like to show that off through your weave. 2. Cover Your Hair With Your Protective Wig Cap Cover Your Hair With Your Protective Wig Cap After your hair is prepped, secure your hair with a wig cap to keep it safe from glue. Use two wig caps if you’d like some extra security. You can also add a liquid cap to your hair if you apply a glue protector. This will ensure that any rogue glue attaches to the cap instead of your hair. You can also apply the glue protector to your wig cap. 3. Mark your leave out  If you left out a part of your hair, mark that area on your wig cap so you don’t add hair extensions too close to it. 4. Dry Your Hair  Blow-dry or air-dry your hair if you used molding gel or glue protector on your hair or wig cap. Everything should be completely dry before installing your quick weave. 5. Glue On The Hair Extensions  The next step is to glue the hair extensions to the wig cap. First, measure the hair extensions around your head to see where you’ll need to cut them. Then, start applying them from the back of your head and work your way in. Allow each section to dry before applying a new track. Once you get close to your leave out, cut that part of the wig cap to let it out. 6. Comb and style your hair  Now that everything is in place, you’re ready to style, cut, and comb through your hair to get your look. You can refer to this video to have a comprehensive look at DIY install quick weave:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rhzm45FEmDc V. How Long Does a Quick Weave Last?  Quick weaves have a lifespan of 4 to 5 weeks. Shedding indicates that it is time to break out the quick weave. Sleep with a silk scarf at night to protect it and make it last as long as possible. To keep curls in a curly weave, pin it back or use rollers. Oil-based products should also be avoided because they weaken the glue. VI. Quick Weave vs Sew-in Hair Extensions: Which One Is Better?  The distinction between a quick weave and a sew in may appear self-explanatory based on their names alone. So, which is superior: quick weave or sew in?Quick weaves are bonded to wig caps while sew-ins are sewn into the hair. Sew-ins last longer than quick weaves but require more time and money to install. Compared to quick weaves, sew-ins also add more tension to your head because you must tightly cornrow your hair; however, sew-ins are more secure.Quick weaves are a great option if you want a polished look that is easy to install and remove. If you want a longer-lasting hairstyle, sew-in is the better option. Sew-in weaves are also more versatile in terms of styling than glue-in weaves. You can change your part and wear it in a variety of ways depending on how a sew-in is installed. Whether you prefer sew-in or quick weave, as long as you are confident in being yourself, you will all shine in your own unique way.

 Two strand twist is versatile hairstyles that can work on either short or long hair. Creating Two Strand Twists With Extensions can be done two different ways; with a weave or singular strands of bulk hair. The two strand twists can look natural with extensions. Wash and condition your hair as usual, no matter which type of extensions you are going to use. I. What Is Two Strand Twist?  Twists, also widely referred to as two-strand twists, are a hairstyle created by twisting two sections of hair around one another to the ends. Sections of hair may range from large to small. Two strand twist is a popular protective hairstyle, especially for curly or kinky hair.  You may also do two-strand twists with weft hair extensions. Make sure it matches your natural hair in texture and color. The length will be determined by how far you want your twists to go. If you're utilizing bulk hair extensions, you'll also need a cream or water-based hairstyling gel. II. Benefit of Two Strand Twist  They're lightweight, add no tension to the hair, and require zero heat. Two-strand twists help the hair hold on to moisture longer and keep it tangle-free. Low-maintenance hairstyles allow the hair to rest, as there's less manipulation. Less manipulation, coupled with better moisture retention, causes hair to break less.  With all of these advantages, it's easy to see why two-strand twists receive high marks from hair experts and naturals alike. Two-strand twists are an excellent protective style because they can be left for days or weeks. If you intend to wear your twists for an extended period of time, you can also cleanse and condition your hair while it is in twists. III. How Do I Do Two Strand Twist With Hair Extensions? 1. Two Strand Twist With Weave Hair Extensions  Choosing a weave to attach to your natural hair is made easier by visiting our shop weft hair extensions. It’s best to pick out a weave that is the same color and texture as your own natural hair. The length of the weave will depend on the length of your two strand twists that you want. With this weave, you may be as creative as you want. After you have it picked out, putting your hair into cornrows will be next.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAciEsoQmfA The weave will then be sewn directly to the cornrows. In order to hide the tracks of the weave, be sure to leave enough hair out of the cornrows. This can be achieved by taking a comb and parting the hair starting at one temple and going all the way across your head to the other temple. Once the weave has been sewn to the cornrows, the hair that was left out can be straightened with a flat iron and placed over the tracks on top. 2. Twist With Singular Strands (or Bulk Hair)  To make these two strand twists look natural, you will need to attach the desired length of the strand with a bobby pin to your sections of hair. You can make the sections as large as you want, just keep in mind that this is how thick the twist is going to be. Braid the strands in with your natural hair. If you braid down at least an inch, this will be enough to secure it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLxu_VzSxQo Once the braiding is complete, take the hair and divide it into two strands, since that is all you need for this hairstyle. Create your twists down the entire length of your hair and secure them with a small elastic band. These methods of two strand twists with extensions work with all textures of hair and can be done by novices with little difficulty. IV. What Kind of Two Strand Twist You Can Try With Hair Extensions?  Two-strand twists or locks have different variations depending on how thick and intact you want the twists to be. Not to mention, twists look great when combined with other natural hairstyles. 1. Marley Twist Marley Twist  Marley twists are known for their coarser, more natural texture. You may add more hair extensions to it to make it fuller. Made up of a two-strand twist, they tend to be quite small in size and therefore people tend to wear them in a longer length. 2. Havana Twists Havana Twist  Havana twists are thick, and long, have a rough texture like kinky hair, and are much lighter than Marley twists. The difference between the two? Havana twists are double and sometimes triple the size of a single Marley twist. Havana twists are natural fiber twist extensions worn as a protective natural hairstyle. 3. Selegalesse Twist Selegalesse Twist  Senegalese twists, also known as rope twists, are a gloriously beautiful protective style. They’re a little more modern than box braids and offer something different if you want to move away slightly from braided styles. As this hair is a lot smoother (it resembles kinky locks that have been blown out), Senegalese twists tend to be sleeker and tighter in appearance compared to other twisted styles. 4. Nubian Twist Nubian Twist  In a Nubian twist, hair is twisted using hair extensions that come with a very tight coily pattern—almost z-shaped, in fact. These particular extensions also don’t have that telltale sheen you typically see on the extensions used in other hairstyles, such as the Senegalese twist. The twists also usually end up being the shortest in length amongst all the twists once done (around collarbone length or even shorter). They are also considered to be the softest twists. V. Two Strand Twist: Frequent Ask Questions 1. Are Two Strand Twists Good For Natural Hair?  Doing twists are a really good protective style for natural hair due to the fact that you are literally taking two strands of hair and wrapping them around one another. Depending on whether you are doing your two strand twists big, small or mini, as well as the length of your hair will determine how long the style will take to complete. 2. Which Is Better Two Strand Twists Or Three Strand Twists?  If you’re wondering if you should try setting your hair in either 2 strand twists or 3, it really comes down to preference. Typically the 3 strand twists is great for ensuring definition when taking down the style. If your hair does not really stay in the twists easily, you might want to try the three strand twists or you can choose to just secure the ends of your two strand twists with a hair accessory. 3. How Long Do Two Strand Twists Last?  It is not recommended to go past the 3 or 4 week mark, but you can always unravel and retwist as well if you see that some of the twists are coming undone over time. Be sure to use a spray bottle with water and your favorite leave-in conditioner on your hair, to keep your hair moisturized throughout the week once you notice that it is starting to dry out. 4. Does Two Strand Twists Make Your Hair Grow?  It is safe to say that the actual hairstyle itself will NOT make your hair grow, after all, they are just two strand twists. But, by twisting your hair and leaving it be, you are encouraging less manipulation, tangles, and breakage. I would also encourage you to coat your hair in a light oil every couple of days, just to keep the frizz and friction on the ends down to a minimum. 5. Is It Better To Do Two Strand Twists Wet Or Dry?  The choice of whether or not it is best to do two strand twists on wet or dry hair is completely up to you. It really depends on the look you are going for. If you want your hair to be super hydrated with very minimal upkeep, go for installing the twists on wet hair. Setting your two strand twists on wet hair will also ensure to lock in the moisture for a longer period of time. If you decide to install your two strand twists on dry hair, you will probably need to keep them moisturized a little more often because they may dry out quicker.

 We often tend to ignore the little things we do to our heads that add to the excessive damage we could be creating because it turns into a daily routine. However, most women need and deserve the best quality extensions for the harsh day-to-day activities they do to their hair. So if someone asks me thousand times "What hair extensions own the best quality", we will answer you a thousand and one times without any hesitation that "it is Vietnamese Hair Extensions!" I. Why Do We Affirm That “Vietnamese Hair Extensions” Own The Best Quality?  There is nothing that compares to the strength and elasticity of Vietnamese hair extensions. Although most vendors don't display many types of Vietnamese hair as much as other hair types such as Brazilian, it doesn't take away from the long-lasting quality that Vietnamese hair extensions can bring. In fact, its lack of appearance in salons and online adds to its quality and lustrous feel. Before we get started on how you can work with this type of hair, the first thing you may be thinking is, "Why should I choose Vietnamese hair?" Well, I'd be happy to explain. 1. The Foundation of Vietnamese Hair Extensions  First, we are going to take a look at the extension's origins, in Vietnam, and comparison it with America. Americans strive every day towards using fewer and fewer chemicals in their bodies and their hair, but with most products containing chemicals, they sometimes find it difficult to stray from what's in front of them. Besides, horrible eating habits and lack of exercise are some of the things Americans deal with every day that affect more than their ability to gain or lose weight. The ingredients put inside their body can and will be obvious in their appearance and the quality of their hair. American Bad Habits  Fortunately, women in Vietnam don't have these issues. Their simple lives reflect the quality of their hair. Vietnamese hair is collected from rural women in mountainous areas of Vietnam, who eat a nutritious, fiber-rich diet and live in a climate that is conducive to hair growth – not too hot or too cold. Vietnamese women rarely have the issue of hair from broken bodies.  Furthermore, Vietnamese people value their hair as a great asset that accentuates their attractiveness and youth. Vietnamese women use lemongrass, locust, or pomelo juice to wash their hair, which has been scientifically shown to improve scalp and hair health, hence their hair strength and length.  As a result, it's easy to see why Vietnamese hair is so good and of optimal value. 2. Vietnamese Hair Extensions: The Thickness and Feel  Vietnamese hair extensions are also known to be quite thick in texture, yet lightweight when installed. This combination is the best when considering how you'd want your hair to feel. You don't want the extensions to weigh you down, but you want them to be long and full. Vietnamese hair extensions create this beautiful contradiction! 3. Availability  These extensions are in high demand, and if you're familiar with any marketing terminology at all, then you'll know that demand affects price and availability as well. There aren't too many vendors who sell this type of hair, because of its high price and low availability. Why are they in such high demand? The answer is so simple because the quality is so amazing. Vietnamese Human Hair Extensions  The natural beauty of the hair along with its ability to be colored and styled multiple times without us damaging the hair is something we all pray for even for our hair! You don't have to worry about split ends with this hair type. This quality affects the price significantly because now this hair is high on the market. Salons always look to buy up this hair as soon as it comes in stock, seeing that they sell out quickly wherever they are. Not only that, but this hair can last for years with consistent texturing. II. What Can I Do With Vietnamese Hair Extensions?  Many people tend to believe you can do much with straight hair. Most straight bundles have trouble achieving and holding any style at all. With Vietnamese hair extensions, this has never been an issue. It's one of the few hair textures that can give you thick and full straight textured hair, while also being able to achieve any look you hope to get. Now that you have a little more background information on why Vietnamese hair extensions could be the best way to go, we can get into the different styles you can achieve with these quality extensions. 1. Curls and Waves Curly Hairstyle Wavy Hairstyle  The most beautiful and essential look you can always hope to achieve with these extensions is their ability to hold in a curl pattern when heat or rollers are involved. Everyone loves the fullness that curls and waves can bring to a look, but one of the leading issues is when the coils begin to fall, you lose the full look you were striving to obtain. With Vietnamese hair, you won't have those problems. Curls placed in these extensions can last up to a whole day without giving off that end-of-the-day hair appearance. Try it for yourself! 2. Half up-Half down Half-up half-down hairstyle  This look gives a full and thick appearance to your hair. It's a deception tactic to make it seem as if your hair is longer than it is, which is what we want! You can achieve this look with straight hair, or you can be a little more daring and add curls to it. You can never go wrong with this! 3. Sleek Ponytail Sleak Ponytail Hairstyles  This style is another where you can either add curls or stick with the extensions' natural texture. The sleek black ponytail adds a sense of sophistication and glamour at the same time, while still giving you a look that appears full and thick. Because of how Vietnamese hair is, you won't have to use much if any product at all to achieve the sleek ponytail since the hair is already lustrous and silky textured. 4. Messy Ponytail  This look is a little more fun to play around with and do. You don't have to do much, and it will still look amazing! It would probably be best to do this with older curls on a day you're feeling too lazy to make the curls new again. Slide those curls into a long ponytail and watch how often you'll want to do it after only one time! Nobody has to know that you didn't feel like doing your hair today. 5. Messy Bun messy bun hairstyle  Messy buns have always been the trend. There is something about your hair not being perfectly executed in a bun that turns out perfectly messy every single time. Vietnamese hair extensions are perfect for this look because in a messy bun you want the sleek and halfway finished feel to it and with these hair extensions you'll get what you're asking. You can achieve this style with any hair texture, but if you're going for something chic and effortless, I suggest you check out what the Vietnamese hair extensions can do for you! 6. Simply Straight Simply Straight Hairstyle  Don't feel like any of these are for you so far? There is nothing wrong with sticking to the basics! The Vietnamese hair extensions are beautiful within themselves and can be worn with any extra work for you to do. Its versatility is what makes the extensions so high on the market. Versatility can mean just about anything, so if you're satisfied with keeping your extensions precisely the way they are. 7. Halo Braid Halo Braid Hairstyle  This look gives off innocence, sophistication, and beauty without it overtaking any other features you may have on your face or in what you are wearing. It's a simple and cute style that still appears different from the general population of hairstyles. You can do small or large twists or braids around your head. In the process, you can either make it appear messy or sleek depending on how you want the look to represent you and your style. III. Have You Decided Yet?  Whatever you decide to do with your Vietnamese hair extensions is all up to personal preference. The look and feel of these extensions add to the versatility the hair provides and therefore, you're able to achieve a lot with these bundles. Make sure you keep in mind that although these Vietnamese hair extensions can last a long time and can withstand just about anything, you are still taking care of them as if it's the hair on your head.

Essentially, the same techniques with balayage are used, however, instead of concentrating on sweeping or painting lighter colors on the top layers of the hair, the focus is on the deeper ones underneath. Reverse balayage goes deep, meaning the low lights and undertones are darker and the highlights that are painted on top are a deeper shade than you’d choose with a regular balayage. The darker strands that are painted on sit just below the lighter sections helping to give off a smudged look, making the light and darker tones blend more seamlessly. It’s such a creative way of giving blonde locks an illusion of depth and a brunette finish.

 Tape In extensions is the safest semi-permanent option on the market because they will have the least amount of damage to your natural hair in the long run. There are many things that you can do with your tape-ins, and there are many things that you cannot do with them while wearing them. Tape-ins are the newest hair extensions in the hair industry, and just like many other types of hair extensions such as wigs, sewn-ready bundles, and clip-ins, they all have their do’s and don’ts. I. What Is Tape In Hair Extensions?  Before getting into the do’s and don’ts, let's clarify what tape in hair extensions are. AZ's Tape in Hair Extensions AZ's Tape in Hair Extensions  Tape-in hair extensions are the most popular hair extension method on the market due to their semi-permanent nature, discreet finish and there is little to no damage to your natural hair. They apply the least amount of weight on your naturally rooted hair which won't result in breakage of your natural hair or baldness in the sections the extensions were placed in. Tape in extensions are perfect for most hair types; once applied correctly, they are known to give the least long-term damage to your natural hair.  Tape-in hair extensions are thin tape wefts, 4cm wide wefts of hair secured at the top with a sticky tab. It is the most requested hair extension method in salons worldwide. Within the last few years, this method has become a favorite among salon professionals. Safe, comfortable, and natural are just a few words to describe tape in hair extensions. If you take proper care of your extensions they can last anywhere from 9-12+ months whereas if you take very little care of your tape-in extensions, they can last anywhere from 2-6 months. II. Why Tape In Extensions Are Probably The Best Hair Extensions?  Hair extensions are the most comfortable and most convenient way to enhance any hairstyle. If you didn't know, there are many kinds of extensions, on top of different ways to add them to your hair. Out of all the methods of installing weave, the best hands down would be tape in hair extensions. This technique is also the most requested in salons worldwide, so there must be for a particular reason. So, take a few moments to check out this impressive list of why tape-ins are probably the best hair extension method to use. 1. Low Maintainance  Tape-in extensions are the easiest to maintain for many reasons. The construction of this product is three simple things which are medical grade adhesive, human hair, and polyurethane panels or transparent plastic. No matter how much you blow dry, flat iron, or hot curl, the tape will not melt. These are guaranteed to last you for months and have minimal to no shedding when you take care of them correctly. 2. The Least Damaging  Tape-in extensions are the least damaging out of all your other options. Since they are very lightweight, they won't pull on your natural hair as many other extensions will. Surprisingly they grow out as your hair does so there's no extra tugging or pulling on your scalp. You can remove the tape in hair extensions within seconds and install them in about the same time. When you get a sew-in the tracks are put in by using a threading needle which can be very damaging to your tresses. Clip-in extensions are dense and heavy which can cause receding hairline and bald spots if you wear them frequently. If you use fusion, and microbead methods, you will notice that they tend to tangle more easily causing you to lose hair in the bundle and on your head. 3. Low Cost  The cost of tape in extensions is the least expensive out of all the other options. The price for the hair-on tape-in extensions is about the same as clip-ins, but they are much cheaper than the cost of fusion, I tip, and microbead hair extensions. Overall the application and cost end up a lot lower than all the other extension methods. 4. Reusable  You can reuse tape in extensions for up to a year or even longer. Being able to reuse your hair extension is a great bonus especially when it comes down to saving money in your pocket.  If you customize your extensions to match the cut and color of your natural curls, you will have a low-maintenance semi-permanent style. When you decide to remove the tape, you can wash your extensions and add new tape within seconds. Once you put on the new adhesive, you can reapply extensions onto your head. 5. They Look Extremely Natural  Tape-in extensions will look like the natural hair coming from your head. The bonds of the tape lie flat on top of your head making them comfortable and unnoticeable. 6. Invisible and Versatile  You will hear us say how thin tape-in extensions are, but on top of that, the tape is so transparent that it becomes almost invisible during application. They are very flexible, and some will even brush, comb, and wash extensions while they are still in their head. Most people assume that since it's a tape bond it can quickly fall out of your mane. There are many countless hairstyles you can try with these extensions. III. Tape In Hair Extensions: Do’s and Don’t  The choice in picking which hair extensions to use is a tough decision alone, but the upkeep and maintenance from home can also be tough if you don't do your research on how to care for them or listen to the professional advice given to you by your hairstylist. If you are new to tape-in extensions or just unsure of how to properly care for them, don’t worry we’ve got you covered. Check out these quick tips that break down the basic do’s and don’ts. What To Do 1. Brush Your Hair Before Washing Hair With Shampoo And Conditioner  Brushing your hair will remove tangles and knots and doing so will eliminate damage to your hair. Brushing your hair before washing will leave your hair tangle free which is vital because when using shampoo it is known to cause tangles from the deep and throughout the lathering process.*Note: you shouldn't brush your hair when it's wet because that it is when your hair is most fragile. Pat dry your hair and wait for it to air dry before running a brush through your hair. If it's still wet, use a wide tooth comb.* 2. Use The Correct Products For Maintenance  If your hairstylist recommends you a product that will assist you in maintaining your tape-in extensions from home, take the recommendation! Be sure to read what ingredients are in your shampoos and conditioners, don't use products that contain sulfate or alcohol as this will strip your hair of natural oils or dye from color/toner. 3. Sleep With Your Hair In A Loose Braid  You should never go to bed with your hair wet and out for all the knots and tangles to form whilst you sleep. To protect your hair, we recommend loosely tying your hair into a braid so that when when you're sleeping your hair will be free from tangles. 4. Use Heat Protectant Spray  Whenever applying heat to your hair and hair extensions, it is imperative you are using a thermal protectant spray or serum. Applying unnecessary heat to your hair will result in automatic damage, no matter how healthy your hair is. Using heated tools dries out the hair follicles which makes your hair prone to split ends which overall can make your hair look lifeless and show that it is damaged. 5. Be Gentle  The last and possibly the most important rule with tape in hair extensions is to be gentle. You don't want to be rough whenever tending to your hair. Being too rough when brushing your hair can cause the hair to snap which results in split ends and excess breakage. Not To Do 1. Don't Wash Your Hair Everyday  It's extremely important you know not to excessively wash your hair. Doing so will dry your extensions out and make them brittle and prone to damage such as snapping and split ends. 2. Don't Apply Oil Like Textures Near The Tape  It's important to keep slippery textures such as oils from the tape. Excess oil buildup can cause the tapes to slip down the hair which will result in quicker visits to the salons or premature damage to the extensions. Be sure to apply your serums on the bottoms of your hair and lightly on the top of your scalp as a very thin layer if you wanted to tend to the top of your head. 3. Don't Put Your Hair Up High... Often  Sorry to our ponytail queens... tape extensions may not be the option for you. Of course, you can wear your hair in a ponytail or bun with tape in extensions, you just shouldn't do it often because you are putting stress on your hair follicles, which will lessen the tape and the tapes can become visible. 4. Get Your Hair Wet After Application For 48 Hours  This time is crucial for your tape extensions because they're still setting after you leave the salon. Make sure you plan your visit so that for the next two days your hair is free from any added moisture such as sweat and water. Don't get involved with any activity that'll have you sweating and don't get your hair wet in the shower because if you do either of those things during the 48-hour setting process, the tape will begin to loosen and won't set correctly. IV. Conclusion  Now that you know 5 very important do's and 4 don'ts when it comes to caring for your tape hair extensions. Invest time and money into your hair, treat it with love and you'll see your luscious locks show you love right back.

 Bleaching your hair at home? You have to get the ratio of bleach to developer right, especially if you have long or dark hair. It matters if you use a 20 developer, 30 developer, or 40 developer. We always suggest going to a professional hairstylist to get a bleach job, but for many people, this has become difficult due to current circumstances.  And we’ve seen one horror story after another about bleaching hair at home gone wrong. And these usually have to do with using the wrong bleach-to-developer ratio. So in this article, we’ll talk about the proper ratio of bleach to developer you should use while mixing them together. This ratio is also applied for bleaching hair extensions! I. What Type of Bleach You Should Use?  A good quality lightener which will lift quickly and efficiently without breaking or damaging is really essential. If you are looking to do near-scalp bleaching, or if your client is excessively fine and fragile and prone to breakage, we recommend Brilliant Blondexx lightener with Bond Protect. This bleach is very safe and has excellent lifting properties.  Thanks to the Bond Protect technology, it protects your hair from breakage as you lift it. It is also gentle enough to use on the near-root area and near-scalp bleaching with minimal scalp irritation. II. What Do You Need To Have Apart From Bleach? In addition to your bleach, you will also need:A developer - 20, 30, or 40 VolumeA hair tonerPurple shampoo and mask for afterward (optional)  You will also need application tools, including rubber gloves, a couple of brushes and bowls, a kitchen weighing scale, and a timer. III. What Developer Should I Use With Bleach? 1. What Exactly Developer Are?  A developer or activator is nothing but hydrogen peroxide that helps in lifting the hair cuticles making it easier for bleach to remove the color pigments. The number on the developers signifies its oxidation potential or strength. So the bigger the number the more effective it is at removing hair color. But at the same time, it’s also more corrosive and damaging.  Now there are developers ranging from 10 to 40. A 10 developer is very mild and doesn’t exactly lighten hair just brings it down a tone or two. 20 and 30 developers are the most commonly used ones. The 20 developer can lift hair up to 2-3 levels and the 30 developer up to 4 levels. So what about the 40 developer? Well, it’s very powerful and it can lift hair up to 6 levels. But trust me it’s too strong to mess with at home. It contains 12 percent peroxide and is known to cause burning and scabs on the scalp when used to dye roots. 2. What Developer Should Use With Bleach?  As we mentioned in the previous sections, 20, 30, or 40 developer are only assigned these numbers to indicate how much they lift your existing hair color. Not an indication of how many developers to add.If you are aiming to lift by 1-2 levels, you need a 20 Vol developer.You will need a 30 Vol developer if you are aiming to lift by 3-4 levels.When you are working with very dark hair, then you may need to do the first application with a 30 Vol developer and then make a second application using a 20 Vol developer. Just make a fresh mix and reapply on the bleached hair while it is processing - no need to rinse and then bleach. For the root area, it should be 20 Vol developer only. It processes fast due to the heat from the scalp.If you are trying to get to ash or platinum blonde, you must lift all the way up to level 10, so 40 Vol developer is the proper type.  Use this level guide to assess how much bleaching is necessary in your case & which developer you are going to need. IV. Exact Ratio Of Bleach To The Developer You Should Use (20, 30, 40 Developer)  Given below is the correct ratio of bleach to developer you should use depending on the type of developer: 20 developer to bleach ratio – 2:1 30 developer to bleach ratio – 2:1 40 developer to bleach ratio – 2:1  Surprised? Yup. The amount of developer you use on the bleach has got nothing to do with the strength. Indeed, most hairstylists suggest using two parts of the developer for every one part of bleach as this ratio gives you the right consistency of the liquid. This ratio gives you a fairly runny texture of bleach that can be easily applied to hair. This consistency is good for long hair as it drips down enough to spread throughout the tresses, but it’s not thin enough to go down your face. For The Bleach Packet: Here is a quick guide if you’re using a developer and bleach packet: For every 50gm bleach powder, you’ll need 100gm of developer For every 100gm of bleach, you’ll need 200gm of developer If you’re using ounces instead of grams the ratio will be the same. For every 1oz of bleach, you’ll need 2oz of developer For every 2oz of bleach, you’ll need 4oz of developer  If you use too much developer your mixture will end up runny and can get on your face, skin, etc. causing burning and inflammation. If you use too little developer the mixture will be too thick and won’t adhere to hair well. This will cause uneven bleaching. *Note: This ratio of 2:1 will change if you’re planning to bleach your hair for a balayage. We do NOT want the bleach to spread all over in case of a balayage. So a thicker paste is required when doing a balayage or covering up small areas of hair. In this case, you should use the bleach and developer in a ratio of 1:1. With only one part of developer added to one part of bleach.* How To Measure Bleach And Developer?  You shouldn’t have too much difficulty in measuring the bleach and developer as most bleaching kits come with measuring tools like a spoon that you can use to get the right ratio. However, if such thing isn’t unavailable you can use old measuring spoons you’ve got in your kitchen that are used to measure baking ingredients.  Just remember to wash and dry them thoroughly before use and never use these spoons for measuring food once you’ve got bleach in them.

 Curly hair is springy, sexy, and stylish. If you have naturally curly, coily, or kinky hair, you’ll know that growing it out can take years. Because Type 3 and 4 curls are tight with a spiral or zigzag shape, your hair may be long, but it may not look as long as it is. All hair should be cared for in other to maintain its shine and beautiful luster. If your naturally curly hair needs TLC for hair strands to maintain their beautiful spirals, so do your curly hair extensions. I. Can You Have Extensions With Curly Hair?  Yes! Curly girls can wear hair extensions too. In fact, curly hair extensions come in all curl types nowadays, including Type 3a-3b spirals, Type 3b-3c curls, Type 4a-4b coils, and Type 4b-4b kinks. All you have to do is match the correct type of curl pattern to your hair!  In the market for curly hair extensions but not sure which ones to go with? Find out what your curl type is. II. How Do You Take Care Of Curly Hair Extensions?  We’ll go through how to take care of your curly hair extensions so they last longer, look good as new, and maintain their shape throughout their lifespan. 1. Use Moisturizing Ingredients and Avoid Proteins  The hair products you use on your curly hair extensions are just as important as the ones you used on your natural hair. Just like naturally curly hair is prone to dryness and frizz, so are your hair extensions. Because curly hair extensions do not have the benefit of receiving natural oils from the scalp, they are prone to dryness, tangling, and frizzing. Using deeply moisturizing products with ingredients like shea butter is a good way to restore moisture, softness, and shine. When choosing a shampoo and conditioner, opt for alcohol and sulfate-free products (these ingredients are super drying), and avoid products with proteins. Find out How sulfate affect hair extensions. Although protein-rich products can revive curl definition and restore balance to natural curly hair, these may make your curly hair extensions matted and tangled and are not recommended for use. By the way, you don’t need to wash your curly hair extensions very often either—every 5-7 wears will do, or unless they have a lot of product buildup and become unmanageable to style. 2. Try Co-Washing Your Extensions  Co-washing stands for “conditioner only washing”. When co washing, you literally only use a conditioner and no shampoo to wash your hair extensions. Co-washing is a great way to cleanse drier hair types, including curly hair extensions, to restore moisture and softness without stripping the hair using harsh soaps or lathering agents generally found in shampoos. When co-washing your natural hair extensions, be sure to use a conditioner that is silicone-free, and that is moisture-based, not protein-based—similar to the hair product advice we’ve given above. If you already have this in your shower, great! Simply get the hair extensions sopping wet, apply a liberal amount of conditioner from root to tip, and gently cleanse the hair strands. If your hair extensions are feeling particularly dry, you can leave the conditioner on for 5-10 minutes before rinsing it off. 3. Air Dry Your Extensions Avoid Heat Styling  Heat dries out hair extensions even further, ending up in a frizzy, tangled mess and can cause the beautiful kinks and curls to flatten and lose their shape. If you must blow dry your curly hair extensions, be sure to use a diffuser and to use the lowest heat setting on the blow dryer, however, the most ideal way to air dry curly hair extensions is to lay them flat on a microfibre towel overnight. You can also hang them on a hair extensions holder or by attaching them to a clothes hanger with clips. 4. Avoid Heat Styling  Although you likely won’t be straightening your curly hair extensions (and if you’d like to wear your hair straight we recommend investing in a separate set of straight hair extensions), you may be tempted to curl them if they’ve lost their shape. Instead, try heatless methods of curling using flexi rods or perm rods to revive curls. 5. Finger Brush Only  Curly hair extensions require gentle love and attention to maintain their curl pattern and shape. Never brush your curly hair extensions while they are dry, as this could cause frizzing, breakage, shedding, and a loss of their curl pattern. If you find that your hair extensions are tangling, first try and finger comb any knots and tangles from the bottom of the wefts up. If they are still tangled, try co washing them, then use a wide tooth comb to gently remove tangles from bottom to top. 6. Use Leave-In Conditioning Products  Leave-in conditioners and serums can do wonders to maintain moisture, shine, and nourishment. As mentioned before, clip in hair extensions get dry easily because of the lack of natural oils from the scalp. Using a tiny bit of leave-in conditioner on the wefts can help ensure that the hair stays moisturized and prolong their lifespan.  When choosing a leave-in conditioner for your curly hair extensions, it’s best to choose one that suits the type of hair they mimic. For example, if you have curly hair extensions for Type 3 hair, choose a lighter-weight leave-in product like argan oil, jojoba oil, or coconut-milk conditioner. For kinky or coily hair extensions similar to Type 4 curls, you can opt for something a little heavier like coconut oil or shea butter. Be sure to use a tiny amount as using too much could weigh the hair down and lead to product buildup. 7. Avoid Touching Your Hair  The more you play with your hair, the more you will suck the moisture out of them, break up the curls, and create frizz. Although running your fingers through silky soft long hair is tempting, leave your hair extensions be when in, especially if freshly washed. You don’t want all your hard work to go to waste! 8. Store Your Curly Hair Extensions Properly At Night  First of all, never sleep with your hair extensions clipped in. The friction between your natural hair and the hair extensions at night will lead to tangling and matting, not to mention the excessive rubbing on pillowcases and sheets. Just like natural hair should be cared for while sleeping, so should your precious curly extensions!  Before bed, unclip all the wefts, gently coil them loosely, and store in their original box or in a storage container like a shoe box in a cool, dry area. You can even go a step further and place them in their own silk bonnet or scarf before placing them in a box overnight, which will help maintain their shine and lock in moisture.
